What is going on here?!
The headline of my day. What would have become of Hermione without Ron-Ron? Would we have had a Harry-Hermione-Ginny love triangle? Ginny would have blasted Hermione to pieces.
But in a new special feature on theDeathly Hallows 2 DVD, author J. K. Rowling notes that she’d planned one fatality that would have probably scarred a generation of young readers. As reported by the Guardian, Rowling says, “I did seriously consider killing Ron.” Apparently, she briefly thought about killing off Harry’s red-headed sidekick around the middle of the series, when she “wasn’t in a very happy place.”
