Ron Weasley wasn't good enough for Hermione Granger

JK Rowling stated in an interview that putting Ron and Hermione together was wrong and selfish wish fulfillment. She stated that Ron would "never be enough" for Hermione. I disagree, and think that this statement shows a lack of understanding of the messages in her own books.

See, the argument here isn't that their personalities wouldn't quite match up. When someone says that someone isn't "enough" for someone else, you don't think, oh, they just wouldn't go together well in a relationship. The way it was worded was degrading, as if everything Ron did in the books wasn't good enough because he wasn't the hero or the "Boy who lived."

In my opinion, when Ron was jealous of Krum, he wasn't super, overly controlling-ly jealous, and it was around the time when he was just figuring out his feelings (he was 14-15 ish. No excuse, but he was immature.) And The only reason he was seen as overly jealous with Hermione and Harry was because of the darkness of the Horcrux. It's normal to feel a little jealous sometimes, and that was probably all he was feeling before the Horcrux made it into something nasty. I feel that a more mature Ron who was aware of the fact that Hermione did like him back would handle both of these situations better.

Anyway, Ron and Hermione was never really something I shipped, just a trope I expected to happen.

My only problem with the whole thing was how it was worded? Like, Rowling said she hadn"t meant for Ron and Hermione to get together. Cool. But saying that the reason is because Ron would never "be enough" for her kind of ticked me off?
Maybe Ron wasn"t book smart, but nobody could beat that boy at wizard"s chess. You don"t have to be book smart to be an interesting, stimulating person. Yeah, so he wasn"t very good at making potions, but he knew everything there was to know about quidditch. And maybe he wasn"t the big hero or "the Boy Who Lived," but he dived into a mysterious lake to save his drowning friend and he sacrificed himself in the real life game of wizard"s chess and he fought in the battle of Hogwarts with everyone else when he could have run away and he went into the bathroom and saved Hermione from that troll even though they weren"t friends yet and he fought in the Department of Mysteries and went to save Sirius and he defied Umbridge and joined the D.A. and memorized Harry"s Parsletongue to reopen the Chamber of Secrets and snuck into Gringotts and rode on the back of a dragon and destroyed Horcruxes and overpowered the hold a Horcrux had over him after managing to wear it for days.

My point is, Ronald Weasley is amazing and interesting and no one, not even JK Rowling, will convince me that he isn"t enough for someone because he doesn"t like to study.
