Dear Gossip Fans,
Those of you that are Harry Potter fans, understand what a huge change to the books this would be, if J.K. Rowling gave into a fit of temper and offed Ron! Who would be the love of Hermione’s life then? And then, there’s Harry. Orphaned time and again throughout the books, it seems almost cruel to deprive him of his best friend, too! Besides, how could she break up such a good group of friends? Friends who showed time and again that they would stand by each other through the darkest of times—no matter what the cost. You can’t just take one out! It’s like breaking up a dream team, right? Luckily for us, cooler heads prevailed and our Ron Weasely made it to the end, and not only that he got his girl and got to be a hero to boot.
This revelation is part of an interview featured on the upcoming Deathly Hallows: Part 2 DVD between Daniel Radcliffe and J.K. Rowling.
From the interview:
“Funnily enough, I planned from the start that none of them would die. Then midway through, which I think is a reflection of the fact that I wasn’t in a very happy place, I started thinking I might polish one of them off. Out of sheer spite. ‘There, now you definitely can’t have him any more.’ But I think in my absolute heart of heart of hearts, although I did seriously consider killing Ron, [I wouldn't have done it],” she told the actor Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry Potter in the films and who was “convinced one of the main three had to buy it”.
Whew! I’m still breathing a sigh of relief!
