draco (tom felton) is hot

I was doing a random search on the order of the phoenix, and I found these quotes.

"NO! The trouble is, of course, that girls fancy Tom Felton, but Draco is NOT Tom Felton! (My daughter likes TF very much too, because he taught her how to use a diablo.)” – JK Rowling answering whether or not Draco and Hermione will end up together

“People have been waxing lyrical [in letters] about Draco Malfoy, and I think that's the only time when it stopped amusing me and started almost worrying me. I'm trying to clearly distinguish between Tom Felton, who is a good looking young boy, and Draco, who, whatever he looks like, is not a nice man.” - JK Rowling"

I am very amused. I am a huge fan of Draco/Hermione, and I devour the fanfic. But I hadnt realized that people actually wrote JK Rowling about it. One of the reasons I like the pairing is that it really does make sense. Draco, for all his evilness, was shown to be pretty intelligent throughout the books. It makes sense to me to have Draco and Hermione as a couple. Ron...not so much. I can see Hermione having a school girl crush on him, but for him to end up as her one true love is ridiculous. Hermione is smart and ambitious. Ron is not. And since im on the topic....(DEATHLY HALLOWS SPOILER!!!)


I was pretty pissed off at Hermione's epilogue. We find out that Ron is an Auror but all we know about Hermione that she's a Mrs. Weasley and has popped out a couple of kids. REALLY?!? This is someone who has the potential to be headmaster of hogwarts or Minister of Magic. I would sooner believe Hermione as the Auror and Ron the stay at home dad. Hasnt Ron traditionally been the weaker of the threesome? In EVERY aspect? So yeah, I am disgruntled.
I am not saying that JK Rowling needed to make Hermione end up with Draco. (Although that would have rocked) But it kind of sucked that she ended up with Ron. At least, with the Ron that we know. If he'd drastically matured him in the last book, then maybe.
end rant.
