Fred/Angelina Shippers, listen up...

It's half canon.

(JKR Documentary spoilers!)

I just love that George/Angelina is apparently canon, because I've contemplated that ship idea but thought it might be too cliche. I just got this vision of Angelina coming into the joke shop one day and talking to him about how he'd made what ended up being the last happy Christmas for a good couple of years very meaningful... even if they hadn't fallen in love.

Oh, and apparently, Charlie had no kids or wife. Poor guy.

In the actual interview she clarifies that Charlie is not gay (they asked), but just more interested in his work than marrying. IDK, this is always how I saw Charlie- so dedicated to his work that he never married and was totally happy with that. Charlie was the one Weasley I didn't see marrying, although if Fred hadn't died I'm not sure I would have imagined the twins marrying either.

Charlie does seem like someone who would forever be chasing dragons.

Ditto on the twins. Fred/Angelina is a potential of angst bucket, now.

Now I don't know whether to incorporate this new information or go on with my own.

Yeah definitely.

Now I don't know whether to incorporate this new information or go on with my own.

I'm a big Neville/Luna shipper and had developed a fondness for George/Verity. I know I'll always write future!Neville/Luna at least, and I was surprised that I'd come to like George/Verity enough to be a bit let down when she said it was Angelina. I totally acknowledge that what JKR says is word and that's what is canon, but it is a bit easier to deviate from something if it isn't actually in the books.

As for the other new info- I approve of it at all. James Sirius I was pleased to see verified, and Lily Luna has a bit of an odd ring to it but it's nice since both of them consider Luna such a dear friend. Would love to know Rose and Hugo's middle names though.

Yeah, I never saw Charlie or the twins marrying. But I think George would need a second half again, and obviously a wife would've been the closest he could get.

That's exactly it. It just went without saying for me that eventually George would marry (after I read DH) and of course name his first son Fred. In fact I remember a lot of fans getting upset that Ron and Hermione hadn't named a child Fred and I just thought "dontcha think George did?"
