That said, while Ron/Hermione was a dreadful pairing, I don't think Harry/Hermione would have been much better. I was rather fond of Viktor Krum for Hermione, myself.

Lol! I half agree with Rowling needing to just stop with all this.
However, this is validation for me because I've been saying that since I finished the book in 2007 (she had the epilogue planned, but the story didn't develop to match). I really shouldn't be as giddy about this as I am honestly.
The book is still canon though, I won't argue that. She certainly can't turn around and rewrite the entire thing.
... I never really read the book with pairings in mind. (Although after a certain point with the way the movies were going, I knew Ron/Hermione would happen --- I just hoped the relationship would develop better.) BUT, now that you say it, I think I could get behind Viktor/Hermione. :P
