JKR did not say Hermione should have been with Harry. She said that Hermione should not have ended up with Ron. That is all the quotes say.

STOP SAYING THIS MEANS JKR SAID HERMIONE SHOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH HARRY, INTERNETS! Hermione was not Bella Swan. She did not have only two choices in life which were dictated by the boys she was closest to in high school.

Oh and btw needing relationship counseling does not mean you should not be with  someone, Ms. Rowling. If you actually said that, I am sorely disappointed in you. I like you as a person better than I like your books, but that quote is really very bad.

Harry could be nastier to Hermione (and others) than Ron ever was. That's Harry's temper -- he loses it and he descends to horrible depths. Ginny can deal with it by telling him off or ignoring him; she's got a very thick skin. It hurts Hermione much more. Besides, Hermione and Harry's relationship is a thoroughgoing friendship with no romantic overtones, and that's what makes it so great.

Maybe Hermione should have ended up with someone she didn't know in high school, or Charlie, or no one, or Cho, but Harry's right out.

Yeah. Personal headcanon says Hermione took a job teaching Muggle Studies and Community Organization at Beauxbatons for a while, before returning to Hogwarts as Muggle Studies professor and head of Hufflepuff House until Minerva gives up Gryffindor (and the headmaster's seat) by dying, at which point Hermione becomes Gryffindor Head of House after a long career as one of the premier agitators for social change in the Wizarding World, or something like that.
