Each of Rowling's adolescent heroes-Harry, Hermione, and Ron-are brave and fair-minded, far more so than the adult professors and administrators at their school.

(A) Each of Rowling's adolescent heroes-Harry, Hermione, and Ron-are brave and fair-minded
(B) Rowling's adolescent heroes-Harry, Hermione, and Ron-are brave and fair-minded
(C) Harry, Hermione, and Ron-each of them Rowling's adolescent heroes-are brave and fair-minded
(D) Brave and fair-minded-Harry, Hermione, and Ron-each an adolescent hero of Rowling, are
(E) Brave and fair-minded-Harry, Hermione, and Ron-every one of Rowling's adolescent heroes are

Aw snap, rahulvsd -- we picked A at first!

Such a basic trap (subject/verb agreement) and we fell right into it. :-)

clearly Option B is the only right choice :)

Each alway follows singular Verb.

Yep -- Each should follow a singular verb. that's why option A is out.

Yes B is the right option.

A - Use of are with each
C - [color=red]each of them Rowling's adolescent heroes[/color]
D - Hyphen is wrong after "Brave and fair-minded"
E - Same as D & use of every one is wrong.
