Just the thought of Harry and Hermione together is wrong.

Nah it's fine the way it is. It would've just meant that Ron was a pretty useless character

I think she needs to realise that probably half her fan base have now grown up and got over it.

I bet they have a greasy, sleazy affair and the Weasleys will murder them and bury them in their garden.

I don't know about Harry and Hermione but I remember thinking Harry and Ginny just didn't ring true in the slightest.
If anything that pairing felt more like she'd stuck to what she'd planned to do ages ago regardless of it not really working. But then my opinion might be based on the complete lack of chemistry or personality in movie Ginny. Last edited by Marsh.; 05-02-2014 at 10:12 PM. |

Are her current projects not doing well? Is that why she's having to continue to talk about something that she intentionally ended a few years ago? Final question, why does anybody care?

Hermione should have been killed off tbh, or at least Ron, it sucks that they all lived

Usually the alpha female & alpha male pair off.
So it is kinda odd why she picked Ron, but I'm not sure the story would have been better had she chosen Harry, in fact it may have been more standard and predictable. |

Hmmm. I dont see where it says she was asked. It just says she made the comments in an interview. In fact that article is so full of filler there's more about how the fans have reacted than about changes she'd have made to the book. Maybe she does walk the street talking about Harry Potter., I rarely hear of her talking about anything else.

I think that's the problem when you become known for a series (books, films, TV programs) - it's very difficult to shake the label of one hit wonder (in the broadest sense of the term) unless you're proactive about doing different things to make sure people don't associate you with just the one thing... perhaps if she'd written other novels in between writing Harry Potter books, she wouldn't have this problem, but she dedicated herself to writing it and now the success of that has surpassed her abilities as an author I think to recreate that magic elsewhere.
It must be weirdly frustrating for her; she's made millions out of writing seven books and yet anything else she does gets overlooked because of that success. It's hard for her to avoid talking about it because it's hard for her to avoid being asked about it. |

Yeah, her last book hit the best seller list after she was revealed as using a pseudonym but she won't ever match Potter's success which means she can't step away from being associated/asked about it.
But that's the way it goes, no one gets that level of success over and over again. |

Wasn't that the point of the pseudonym though? She wanted to have the experience of reading reviews that just commented on her work as its own piece as opposed to something to be compared to Harry Potter.
I seriously doubt she craves a repeat of the Potter success, only a fool would think they'd repeatedly get that. Even the most talented of writer's or critically acclaimed ones tend to have 1 hugely successful piece that they become known for and is most remembered. She has all the money she could ever need, fame and her name in the history books for all the records they broke. If she was still concerned about chasing the next big thing I'd be a bit concerned. You don't have to continually top such a huge success. Also her last two novels hit the best seller lists and although not wildly popular still won favourable reviews even before she was revealed as the author so it's not like she's a failure.
