Why is everyone so obsessed over Hermione?

Ginny was a bitch.

I always figured Ron would die in the end too.

But even JK acknowledged that their Ron ending up with Hermione and Harry with Ginny, wasn't right.

Ginny was a very independent girl who took nothing from anyone, just like Hermione.

"But even JK acknowledged that their Ron ending up with Hermoine and Harry with Ginny, wasn't right."

She said that it was wish fulfillment to pair Hermione and Ron and that she hadn't actually written in such a way to make them a good match. She just did so because it was how she envisioned it from the beginning.

She never mentioned anything about Harry/Ginny being either right or wrong. Her point was that she wrote Harry as a better match for Hermione than Ron and she realized it in the seventh book when Ron was absent from the story. She never stated that she thought Hermione was better for Harry than Ginny. I think they are perfect for each other.

Rowling stated that from the very beginning Harry and Ginny were going to end up together, even stating that she wrote Ginny to be Harry's deal girl. I even have a quote from her here: "Harry and Ginny are real soulmates. They’re both very strong and very passionate. That’s their connection, and they’re remarkable together."

As for who Hermione ends up with, she said in an interview, and I quote "I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That’s how it was conceived, really. For reasons that have very little to do with literature and far more to do with me clinging to the plot as I first imagined it, Hermione ended up with Ron. I know, I’m sorry. I can hear the rage and fury it might cause some fans, but if I’m absolutely honest, distance has given me perspective on that. It was a choice I made for very personal reasons, not for reasons of credibility. Am I breaking people’s hearts by saying this? I hope not." So the two were always meant to get together. This so-called regret she has (which isn't even that as se never said anything of the sort) of putting them together, is nothing more than her caving in to the pressure of all the Harry/Hermione shippers. Perhaps tose people should read this. http://www.hypable.com/ron-hermione-couple-dueling-column/Rowling

As for Hermione's ethnicity (I can't believe I'm actually doing this), I wouldn't have cared if she was black, but she's not. Her description in the books imply that she's white (and Rowling made it clear for every other character that was black), and she's also white on the book covers and chapter pictures. There's even a line in Prisoner of Azkaban that goes, "Hermione's white face peaked out from behind a tree" and another line in The Half-Blood Prince that states that Hermione looked like a panda bear with two black eyes.

So there you go, she's white. Rowling is only open to her being black because she (admittedly) acknowledges that there aren't many black characters in the books, and so is open to it to appease the African community (which I actually feel is even more racist), but that doesn't change Hermione's ethnicity. She said that she likes the idea of a black Hermione, not that sh IS black. Like the Ron/Hermione thing, it's nothing more than her caving into the demands of the fans against what she actually put in her books. She should actually just come out and say that Hermione is white since this whole debate is actually causing racial diversity as the whites are calling the blacks racist for saying Hermione is black and trying to change her because there aren't enough black people in the books, and the blacks are calling the whites racist for not acknowledging that Hermione could be black and that there aren't that many black people in the books so she should be black. Again, who cares, it's a book, just enjoy it.

There, argument over. Canonly in both the books and movies, she's white. But again, who cares what race she is? Are you really hung up on such a stupid thing? The only problem I have with it is that it's trying to change something in the book simple to appeal to others, which I find annoying (this is a dislike I share with any major unnecessary changes that happen in adaptations), so don't go thinking I'm a racist; I just hate it when people try and change stuff because they like it better that way. Again, don't go thinking I'm racist. I don't care what color Hermione was. If she had been black, then fine, I don't care. My beef is remaining true to the character. There were plenty of black characters in the books that I liked. I loved Angelina, Lee Jordon, and Kingsley. And Dean, well, I didn't really have an pinion on him, but I don't for many characters. When that horrible Last Airbender movie came out, I was upset because they made Katara and Sokka white because that wasn't true of their characters.

So get over it people. Harry ended up with Ginny, and Ron ended up with Hermione who is white (again, is it really that big of a deal?).

Ron was the only one of the Trio who acted like a Human being and not a perfect hero.

Hermione could be selfish and had flaws too. She was bossy, a know it all, refused to accept other people's opinions if they disagreed. This is even affected the trio, like when she refuses to believe the Deathly Hallows were real.

And here's an incredibly selfish moment for her. When her cat constantly tried to eat Scabbers. Now as we learn it's actually Wormtail, but before she knew that she didn't even care. The cat tried to attack Scabbers all the time, but no matter how many times Ron asked her to keep an eye on him she wouldn't. She didn't even try to stop him from attacking Scabbers.

Ron isn't weak or selfish. He has bad moments but comes around. The sign of a true friend is someone who admits when they were wrong. He does that in Goblet and Hallows.

Rowling made Hermione out to be borderline infallible

Here's an add-on to this series of questions: What exactly happened to Cho/Harry's potential as a relationship? Things momentarily felt apart when Umbrage forced her to rat out Dumbledore's Army, but I would have thought they'd have a chance later. Am I forgetting a part of one of these movies or was this something explained in the books and left out of the movies? Did he simply grow fond of Ginny and tired of Cho around the same time?
