After engaging in some discussions about Ginny's characterisation (also one thread in the forum of Half-Blood Prince), I come to think that Ginny will be powerful, because she tries very hard to prevent bad things happen to her again. The experience in the Chamber of Secrets is so horrible, she still felt bad for years (Book 5). Seeing her forceful nature, and her determination, if she wants to learn something (like Quidditch, since 6 years old), Ginny would have collected as many spells or hexes or tricks from various sources. One best source is of course the WWW and its owners, The Weasley Twins. The Bat Bogey Hex is probably the result of this, but it's just the tip of the iceberg. Ginny can have much more powerful things in her arsenal, waiting to be lashed to Voldemort, if necessary.
Death Eaters may decide to raid Hogwarts, to get some secret stuffs in the Chamber (left behind by S. Slytherin) for Voldemort. During the absence of Harry, Ron and Hermione, the leadership of DA can be taken by Ginny. In the battle, Ginny may show what she is really made of.

As well as the caring and compassion she shows for her friends and family. This is why I want a mutli-view book, if the trio is getting the Horcruxes, what's going on at Hogwarts?
Anyway, Ginny will shine, I think in her element of fighting for the side of good.
Harry as the front line, Ginny the home front. It works.

Potter Family Adventure, starring Harry and Ginny Potter when they were at Hogwarts!
Something is still bothering me about Slughorn. If he is at Voldemort side, then Ginny's identity must have been known to the Dark Side. I doubt Lucius Malfoy said anything to Voldemort about the diary or Ginny's case. Voldemort may not realise one of his horcruxes is destroyed by Harry. Not everyone in Hogwarts know the details. Slughorn can do and may have done some investigations. Ginny is an important figure in Harry vs Voldemort battle.

I love Harry and Ginny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really really hope they get together in book seven after everything is sorted out!!




Mod Edit: Check your PM box.

I agree with Muggleview. About the Horcruxes, I wonder if you can feel a part of your soul being destroyed? Anyhoo, I have heard people say that Ginny is not important and neither is her romance with Harry because it hasn't been built up as much as say, Ron and Hermione. But maybe this is being done for a clever and plot-concering reason, eh guys and gals? I believe there is still oodles to come on Ginny and H/G.

P.S. We don't know for sure which side Slughorn is really on.

Hey everyone.. Im new and this is my first post so i thought this would be a perfect thread to start on since i am a big H/G ship Supporter!! Ie answered all the questions too.
I think if Harry survies the final battle Harry and Ginny will totaly get together again..I think they will get togethe at the wedding (hopfully!) I think it will be harry and ginny cuz they remind us of lily and james. he looks almost exactly like his father, she resembles Lily hair and personality wise and i think that in this case histoy will repeat itself!
1. Ginny is not ready to let Harry go.
2. Harry is not ready to let Ginny go.
WEll my answer is Both. Ginny will never get over Harry and Harry isonly ending it to protect her becuase he loves her. I totaly agree with everything u said there Muggy, and that Was realy deep. awesome! All the points everyone in here has made are very good. and i really do hope that H/G are together in the 7th book!

Warm welcome to you, HPFF, and thanks for the support. The breakup is definitely not convincing, because it's not a fallout, but rather a huge declaration of love. Harry thinks that he loves Ginny too much to allow her to suffer in his quest to fight Voldemort (with minimal chance of survival). Ginny allows Harry to go because she loves him too much to burden him with her staying during his quest to fight Voldemort. So what happens in the world without Voldemort? We may read about a longer kiss than in HBP :-).
Nonetheless, as being discussed, the big test for the breakup is Bill and Fleur's wedding. Can both of them stay true with the breakup?

Lol, ever since Book 2 I thought Harry/Ginny was the perfect match but I never thought it would happen. You should ahve seen the look on my face while reading HBP. I was grinning so much I thought my face was going to stay that way. Haha. GO HARRY AND GINNY! Too bad that Harry ended the relationship though. Harry is too noble and brave for his own good.

I love Harry/Ginny!!!! I hope they get together again!! . It would be really awsome if she fights along with the trio ... About Fleur and Bill, I think there will still be a wedding; don't forget that Fleur said she would be with Bill no matter in what he becomes or what he looks like, so I'm almost positive that they will get married!!!

If harryand ginny get together in the next book then that removes the third wheel problem for Ron an dhermione. I thnk that the four of them go together really well come to think of it. I mean ginny is smart and a true weasly! As is probly obvios i am a weasly fan! I think that harry is the sort of guy that ginny would like i mean he is a lot like her brother. He is cool and is as he has shown before espesial in COS willing to risk his life for her. i mean would he have resqued bulstrode?

Oh yes the four are matched well. Ron and Hermione are discussed elsewhere. A girl, talented, kind-hearted, powerful, with a warm family, is the only one known in the series, and is worthy for the hero (and she happens to set her heart to him since the beginning, nice coincidence!?). Ginny suits Harry well as Harry suits her.

I think that these two are made for each other. They both love each other dearly and I think that I speak for everyone (except non-supporters) that if they don't get back together that I will.... I don't know yet but I will do something drastic.

Welcome HPFF to the boards and this thread.
Ah yes, genral H/G supprt with no real topic, that's always fun. I, pre-usual, agree with Muggs. If Harry didn't care about Ginny he wouldn't of broken up with her. If it's lust, it's selfish. You're with the person because of how they make you feel without much regard to the other person's feelings. But he cares about her, he releaved her of any obligation to his very screwed up life, but of course than won't last long.

The last part of HBP showed that Harry and Ginny relationship is at the higher level than most romance. As Ellen wrote, many romances are selfish, only thinking about one's own happiness, disregard the other party's feeling. Instead, Harry thought more about Ginny's safety beyond his own desire to enjoy moments with his best source of comfort. On the other hand, Ginny knows very well that Harry was uncomfortable with aggressive approach, so she was willing to subdue her own desire and let Harry have his own life with Cho. I believe it was truly a pleasant surprise for Ginny that Harry returns her feeling in HBP, because I don't think she saw it coming. She also relishes Harry's decision, because she also wants Harry to be comfortable with himself, although the decision surely hurt her a lot. This level of love is beyond a simple romance. It's self-sacrificing and very powerful.

I think Harry and Ginny would make a great Ship!!! if only Harry would give it a chance though it is sweet that he wants to protect Ginny from Voldermort and his other enemies, by the way i'm not meaning that in a bad way against their Ship, i only ment i would like them to become an official couple.

Has anyone succeeded in getting easter eggs at jkrowling.com? In particular, the draft rewarded after we draw a lightning bolt in the Extra Stuff section, is very interesting.
The draft is Jo Rowling's general plot for Book 5 (OotP). There are many columns so Jo could monitor who does what at the same time. One particular column is : "Cho/Ginny". You can read how Jo planned when Cho and Ginny should be present together or when they are not. Also when Harry and Cho kissed (Ginny happened to be absent). In book 5, we are not supposed to get to Ginny yet, because Harry/Cho relationship occupied pretty much the whole book. However, Jo had carefully placed Cho and Ginny in strategic positions, so she can continue Harry's journey of love, from Cho to Ginny!

i just cant wait to see how ginny and harry act around each other, mostly ginny because she acts in such spontaneous ways.

i just cant wait to see how ginny and harry act around each other, mostly ginny because she acts in such spontaneous ways.

I don't really see ginny as spontaneous.

She actually really thinks things out. She liked harry for ages and never worked up the courage to tell him, and then acted like she didn't like him to become friends with him. She was really quite patient, and the relationship was a long time coming.

She also understands how harry wants to protect her, and be safe.

hey, where's the Ginny pregnancy discussion thread? I was looking at it before I registered and had to close the window and I can't find it again.

Was it this one? Only that topic has been closed. As has the Hermione one now, sadly, as it was getting out of hand. There was another one here about Ginny, but I have no idea where it's gone. I've tried every way I can think of to find it, but no luck. This is why we try to rename threads to make them easier for the search engine to pick them up. Didn't work in this case though, obviously...

Sorry about that. But in any case, the topics weren't going anywhere which is why they were locked. You're welcome to discuss the possibility here, just don't make it the only topic of conversation

OMG, I was so apauled when I read that Harry has the hots for Ginny... i mean, J.K., you disapinted me...


Mod Edit: This is a SUPPORTERS only thread. If you are disgusted bby this ship, please make your way over to the venom thread for Harry/Ginny.

Seriously? Why do you think that? I really like the idea of Harry and Ginny together.

I have always thought they would be great together. I think that Harry has subconsciously liked her for a long time, just like she has liked him forever. They have both grown and changed alot, and are perfect for each other. For a more thourogh explanation, go to the archived threads category and look at my post on the Harry/ginny thread on page 10. It explains this more fully.

I really dont think that anything i say wont have been said before but anywho...
I really hope that ginny and harry get back together soon in book 7 because if harry does die then it will suck because him and ginny never got more time. i think that she will want it badly because voldy has already got to harry through her but rather accidently(hello..CoS?)
if there is one thing about the ginny/harry thing is i feel that there wasnt enough beckground relationship with them. YOu see ginny and hermione being friends but there isnt a whole lot of ginny and harry being friends before book six so it is kind of a suprise.
but yeah i still like it a lot i think its the only person the harry could have realisticly been paired with.

i totally agree with you.

ginny is definitly the only person that i picture harry with. they need more time together.

i also think that you have a point about how they weren't friends as much. I think that it was ginny taking Harry's advice, and, while, they weren't best friends, they do seem closer than they have in previous books. I also don't think that we should really compare them to Harry and hermione, since they are different kinds of relationships.

I really hope that they are ok in the end...

Muggs, that was very beautifully stated.
Ginny haveing a baby hmm... I'm guessing that the other theards talked about a possible teen pregancy. Wow, that seems very unlikely. Not only are teen pregancy rates greatly lower in the UK than the United States because of comperhensive education, I don't think that Harry and Ginny are going to have sex in the course of DH, wow, that's the first time I've used the shorting letters for the 7th book.

ok, so i love the Harry and Ginny couple, and i think that they will definitly end up together, because ok look at it this way:

Ginny has always loved harry, you know she never gave up on him and since harry started to like Ginny he has thought of no one else...and ron approves, hermione knew it all along, and i know it sounds like its too good to be true, but i think the last book has to have at least something happy about it right?

Ginny would gladly live with Harry, fully knowing the consequences because she said that that was the part that she best liked about him, and it was the reason she never really gave up on Harry. Ginny loves Harry and would give her life for him, and spending time with him and being his girlfriend (though not any more) is risking her life, but it's in something she believes in. Harry knows this but still does not want to sacrifice her, at this moment, she is more importnant than almost anything to him and he's not going to let yet another person die because of him. I'm still unsure of who will win this argument though...

i myself will always, at heart, want harry and hermione to be together, but i realize that ms. rowling has probably no intention of doing that! so i do support harry and ginny and i do think they will end up together or tragically torn apart in the deathly hallows. when harry broke up with her though, i don't think he really "broke up" with her. he just doesn't want to lose her. but ginny is not stupid, she said what she said so she could ease harry's mind. but i am almost 100% sure that she will join the trio at one point or another in deathly hallows, and either ginny or hermione will be dangled in front of harry. i think harry may need to save one or the other. the question is, which will he choose?

I think that Ginny knew perfectly about the consequences but just didn't care, but Harry did for her. Of course they still love each other, but they won't be stupid and put it out in the open so Harry falls for another trap. It has already happened with Ginny and then Sirius. Thank God Harry is finally learning from his mistakes.

But I think its funny because in the beginning of the book like and few chapters after he saw her kissing he was also thinking about the consequences but just didn't care. It's a funny thing love....

oh harry will definitely be careful. but who can deny love staring them in the face? well, voldemort obviously, but that's not the point. if ginny does in fact end up sticking by her man, then harry most likely will act disgruntled but be ecstatic at heart. it's like when dumbledore tells harry his mistake with harry was that he cared for him too much, he made the reckless mistake of not telling harry the prophecy from the beginning.

"oh what fools those lovers are, fools indeed!"

They really aren't ready to give each other up when they have really just discovered this relationship. Other than Ginny's Crush on Harry. I think they both want to give it a chance. Its a true sign of maturity and love in this relatonship when Harry can say "I love you but we can't be together because I dont want you to get hurt." I do think that Ginny realizes this as a sign of maturity not that he wants to break up with her, she knows he's not going to find someone else. But I think because they are both two determined people that they will find some way to have some sort of 'Love' relationship.

I think they are a really cute couple and really well suited to each other. When i was reading the second book i had a feeling something might happen when Harry saved her and all of that buisness in the Chamber.
I know it's a sign of maturity that Harry told Ginny that he didn't want her to get hurt but i think Ginny should have put up a bit more of a fight for him. Ron and Hermione said that they were going with him where ever he goes but i don't see why Ginny isn't going and why she didn't persist that she goes.
If at the end of the 7th book Harry is still alive then i think they will get back together for sure.

Sometimes love doesn't come easy. It has to be fought for. Harry and Ginny have to fight the war to get together. As long as Voldemort is alive, there is no peaceful day for them. So they'd better fight and win, and then enjoying their love.

I agree. She didn't put up too much of a fight . But I think that she respects that Harry made this decision for the good of their relationship and for her. He is clearly hurt about what he had to do and about what was going on and I thinkthat to show her respect for his decision and that she was there for him she let him have a little space. I don't think it would have been good if she started to fight him and say that he has to right to do what he is doing. If anything that would have been detrimental to their relationship. They really understand each other and to me it seems like she didn't want to fight him because he is concerned for her saftey and he is at a stage where he feels like he has to do everything alone. I think that as he greives for DD things will be better. miss_r_weasley this is definantly not the end of their relationship as you said. I think that she will try to fight him and prove that she deserves to go with them I think she will just wait for the right time..maybe the wedding??

ILoveHarryPotter07 i don't think it is definately the end of their relationship necesserily (sp?) and i also thought that something might happen at the wedding. Maybe between Ron and Hermione as well.
Is Ginny a bridesmaid because if she is then i think it will be something along the lines of... "Harry couldn't take his eyes off Ginny. She looked beautiful. He couldn't be apart from her any longer." etc etc and then he decides to get back together.
How do you people think they will get back together because i'm pretty sure they will.

I have mixed feelings, of course I am a H/G shipper but I don't want Ginny to get hurt. They make a perfect couple and I don't want Harry Ginny, or Ron and Hermione to die either for that matter. I want them to get together though because I think Harry and Ginny can't not be together. I would actually think it would be important for Ginny to be injured or used as bait some way, but for real. It would test their relationship, and if they truly love each other Harry like I think he will, will go to save Ginny. It would be important for them to get hurt as a sign that they can't be together without a fight, it won't come easily. They won't be in peace until Voldemort's gone. I just hope they make it through it alive. Oh and miss_r_weasley, I like how you said about at the wedding, I agree that would be an ideal time.

I have a bad feeling however, Harry or Ginny or Ron or Hermione is going to die, even though I don't want them to. If any of them died, I would cry my eyes out. Lol! But I probably would be extremely sad.

Anyway thanks!

Ginny

Ginny and Gabrielle will be the bridemaid and lady-in-waiting. Ginny will be the focus of attention. Harry will feel the pain of jealousy. He doesn't want to lose Ginny to another. But Ginny will not look for another.

Wow, well I'm gonna go back a little ways and talk about that origional question about how Harry and Ginny's relationship is going to survive the seventh book. This is all under the pretense that Harry will come out alive. If they do stay together, which is something that Harry does not want to happen, because he's afraid of what might happen to Ginny if the Dark Lord hears about them though I have a feeling that that isn't exactly what I need to be discussing right now, then yeah, I do think they'll be able to pull it through. Once the main danger is gone, I can't see why Harry wouldn't want them to be happy, since we're going on the happy ending idea right now. Harry can't ignore his feelings, and if there is this happy ending with both of them alive, I can't see why J.K. Rowling would keep them apart. Now, onto what has been discussed of late. I think that they're going to have to take a break from their relationship from now, cause Harry's going to be on his own, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Ginny, and she's going to be at Hogwarts, though I have a feeling that she's going to want to come after Harry, and that sooner or later she will, cause she feels the need to, which is where my morbid side usually comes in, though I don't feel like admiting it in today. In explanation, this is going on the idea that Harry runs away during the wedding, Ron and Hermione follow, and Harry sends them back, fearing for their lives. They come after him again/ Harry returns to Hogwarts, for the final battle with the Dark Lord, though I believe it should end where it all began, but somehow they meet again, and there is where my morbid side takes over, and why I stop now before it takes complete control again. Yeah, Harry and Ginny are cute together, that's a fact, and I can't see why, after everything is over and after they just did an Aragon and Arwen style absence, that they wouldn't be brought together like Aragorn and Arwen, though not when Harry's being made a king, of course. But same idea. "The Love That Transcends Through Time."

~La MaitressedeMort

Wow, I never thought of Aragon and Arwen, and I just wacthed Two Towers a few days ago, I'm one of very small group, it seems, who likes the second more the most. But anyway, I think that Ginny and Harry will get back together after the war. Harry belongs only to his mission, he can't be with Ginny. It's the reason Buffy could never be in a lasting relationship.

As with many epic love story, temporary separation will show the purity and strength of love. Ginny has tasted a life without Harry, as she could watch him drooling over Cho. Harry has not tasted it yet, because he has just realised his true feeling to her. So this separation is for Harry to test his love for Ginny.

And that's why I'm not at all worryed about Ginny and Harry reuniting. It's such a common story line for lovers to separate for some reason. Vampires, demons, aliens, the government, some sort of scary over lord, the destiny of the hero. And they always come together again. I love being a geek, it's so much fun.
I'm praying for the chocalate scene in the libary and Ginny telling Harry off, if nothing else. Like Ginny being jealous of Cho, but if you check the behind the scenes stuff, Ginny looks over at Cho and Harry and looks upset, you'll have to pause, and look hard, but it's there.

Usually, we complain if Jo does something we deem too cliché or common. The whole star-crossed-lovers-breaking-up-but-reuniting-again thing is still a little cliché, but this is one circumstance where I'd actually be very happy if it was a bit cliché. But, then again, we are kind of biased, because we believe in Chocolate.

However, knowing Jo, she will most likely have it done in a very original way. I have faith in Jo and H/G.

The Spiderman 2 story has clouded the appreciation to Jo's storyline. It's not original, because the whole "we separate until I finish my task" thing is an old subject in romance. The love story around Crusades often has this theme. But there is a big difference between Spiderman and Harry Potter. In HP, the obstacle is clear (Voldemort) and the condition to reunite is clear (when Harry survives the end battle with Voldemort and Death Eaters). Spiderman is more infinte, no offered condition to reunite.
In the last book of HP series, Harry should take the initiative to get back to Ginny, to reverse his previous decision.

But Mary Jane wouldn't let Peter seperate them, so they're together now because she took the step forward. I can't wait for May 4th, yay!!! But Harry is alot like Peter, just like Harry is like Buffy. Me and my sister joke all the time that the thrid of them are same thing.
That is true, what Muggs said, Harry will go back to Ginny when he's done, that's differnt than "you and I can never be." May 4th baby! May 4th!

Ellen, that's the big difference between Harry Potter and Spiderman. In Spiderman, Mary Jane took the initiative to defy Peter's wish. In Harry Potter, Ginny chose to respect Harry's decision and supported him (helped taking away the burden in Harry's mind) in his task. It's not a submissive act. It's a sacrificial act. Instead of pursuing her own happiness (to be with Harry), and giving Harry more headaches, she decided to let him go, until he is ready to be with her.
Meanwhile, she will still live her own life, but I think, this time, she will not looking for another boyfriend.

I agree Muggleview. She will not try to look for another boyfriend because no matter what she is in love with harry. If he lives they will most likely get married. Its not like their relationship was a little fling, or at least not in my opinion. Although I think that they will not wait until the end to get back together. As I've said before Harry needs love to survive and fight Voldemort. Love from his mother saved him the first time. I think that love will save him again..hopefully with no death though. I think that Ginny is crutial to the defeat of Voldemort because she loves harry and he loves her. I know what your all thinking..the weasleys love him, his friends love him, its not the same as Ginny loving him. I think that it will be the love that they have, the love that you feel for one person that will defeat Voldemort, in which case they will have to get back together before he faces Voldemort. Also even if they aren't dating the temptation to be together will still be there, I really think it will be hard to stay away from that. Also I think that while she respects his decision, she will be mad at him and sad when they see each other for the first time seince the breakup. I wonder how she will take seeing him again and vice versus. What do you all think?

I read a Japanese novel about Samurai warriors, "Musashi". The main character once ran away from his girl, because he still wanted to achieve something in life and cannot be with her yet. She waited for years. Finally they met and the girl started to cry. The hero said: a Samurai's wife doesn't cry. I see the parallel with Harry/Ginny especially with HBP. I don't think Ginny will cry. She is stronger than that. What she will do is to find alternative ways to help Harry.

Hi Everybody!
This is my first time here and I haven't been part of veritaserum for long, so I'll probobly just reply a little to some of the things until I get used to this However I'm a huge H/G shipper!! I love the idea of them together. Anyway, I'm not really sure how they will react the first time they see each. I think that they will peobobly not really talk much and act kind of formal when they do talk. It will obviously be akward (sp?). (Don't think I'm very good at this whole repling thing yet )
~Jyljoc

I like the idea of parrelling Harry and Ginny to other ships in other books. Btw muggy sounds like a good book. I can kind of parrallel them to Arya and Eragon, if you've read eragon its clearer. He would od anything for her which he makes clear but she is 100 cause she is an elf and he is a rider also she is a princess and she doesn't think they can be together but I can see signs that she likes him. Its confusing like I said unless you are familiar with the books but there are some simulatities to Harry and Ginny. Its weird how we can read someting, see something, or hear something and relate it to harry potter, more specifically harry and ginny. Like the song Far Away by Nickelback. I associate that to harry and ginny. Wow..hopefully this made sense lol.
OH. and jyljoc Welcome to VTM if you have any questions or problems feel free to PM me.

God, I'm so sick of that song! I've heard it about 5 billion times, it's so overplayed! It's a shame because I used to like it, now I can't stand it. Two songs that I think are better for Ginny and Harry is Good Bye to You from Michelle Branch and Absence of Fear by Jewel, I love both those songs.
Muggs I disagree a bit, I think Ginny will cry. The dust has cleared; it's finally over, all the pain, the hurt, the war. I see Ginny clear as day running into Harry's arms, without tears but having a hug smile on her face. She gets into his arms, they just hold eachother for a moment, she pulls back a little to look at Harry properly, he brushes her hair away as gently as you like, and then she begins to cry, Harry laughs for pure happiness, tears fall from his eyes as well and they kiss.
I think that Ron and Hermione can give Harry enough love for the Horcrux hunt, I don't know just how Ginny will play in the finale fight, big part clearly, but for the beginning of the book Harry has his family (Ron and Hermione).
