The author disclosed that she brought Hermione and Ron together for “very personal reasons”, not because they were a “credible” couple. She told Wonderland magazine in a rare interview: I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment. That's how it was conceived, really. Rowling, 48, revealed in an epilogue to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the series, that Ron and Hermione were to marry and have two children, while Harry would wed Ron’s younger sister, Ginny.
