Discussion Question #4
Here is a tough one for you. If you could change one thing in the Harry Potter books, what would it be and why?

I would change Draco to marry Pansy. JK Rowling only brought in Astoria because she was being spiteful and didn't want Pansy to have Draco, she's even admitted that, so I would definitely change it. She said she didn't want Pansy to have her happy ending with Draco because she was a bully, yet several other bullies in the series are shown to be good guys and to be remembered happily. I am not happy that she's singled Pansy out just to be spiteful.

Harry married Ginny, Ron married Hermione, so it only makes sense that Draco would marry Pansy.

Exactly.

Same here. That really, really pissed me off. Pansy was mean with words, sure, but she never nearly got anyone killed (like other bullying characters I could mention that JKR and others seem to love).
