The headline gave it all away, but in a DVD extra from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Rowling revealed that in a surge of being a total bitch and hating gingers, she was going to kill of Ron Weasley.

WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?

“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.’ “

“I think in my absolute heart of heart of hearts, although I did seriously consider killing Ron, [I wouldn't have], It’s a relief to be able to talk about it all.”

This would not fly with me. I can’t be sleazy for Ron Weasley if he’s deceased.

Exactly child Ron!
