I’ve been thinking about writing a post about Potter relationships. How did certain characters end up together? Why? And with the recent news of Rowling’s comments about Ron and Hermione’s relationship, this seemed like the perfect time. There are so many relationships within the series, so I’ve decided to make this post ongoing, posting related articles in the future.

If any of you are on Goodreads and subscribed to the Harry Potter Group, you may have seen and even answered this question.
