The sad ending was not meant to be funny, but to prepare ourselves for the worst. I don't like sad ending. For a while in the past, I doubted to continue HP series, because I assumed it will be a dark ending or unhappy. However, Jo confirms it will be a happy ending but with some casualties. I can live with it, as long as Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione are alive. If any of them died, the meaning of victory and "happy ending" will sound hollow.

I am interested with the veil. Harry and Ginny were mesmerized by the veil. If Jo wants a "happy" dark ending. The veil may be one way to go. Sirius has gone through it, so Harry could have seen him on the other side of the veil.

But enough for the sad thing. I want Harry and Ginny enjoy their family life together, having many excellent children and be happy forever.

I wonder if Harry and Ginny will form a powerful spell together based on their interaction with Voldemort. Of course, Harry has to face Voldemort alone to cast it. A bit of Bat Bogey in it may not be bad, because so far, there's no spell to stop it. Not Draco, not the Twins. It may looks harmless, but if Harry applied some other spells on top of that, Voldemort will suffer to his demise with flapping burning bat on his face.

It was way over simplifyed that's what I found funny. They die, the end, almost with a dectment.
I think that Ginny might not break out with her BB Hex, but I think that her love will be what makes Harry win, really will give him an edge, Ron and Hermione will get him there, Ginny will help with the final blow. Because people say, Harry always faced Voldermort alone, but he's also never won.

Actually I am kind of hoping that Ginny will come up with a very unique and powerful hex in Book 7. This will be the result of her training with the Twins, her own resentment of past horrible experience with Tom Riddle and her own innovation with magic (as Ginny is powerful and talented and creative). The unique hex will be a great help for Harry in his quest. With this, Ginny may silence her critiques (in the stories, I mean...) and win respect from Harry as a life partner, not as a damsel-in-distress.

I honestly think Harry is being selfish by pushing Ginny out his life this moment. I mean love is what clearly pushies his powers and pardon me but Harrys powers currently worry me . I also think that by putting Ginny on her own he actually puts her in more danger because he wont be there to defend her. I hope Harry realizes hope important Ginny is and he gets back with her!!

Of course by leaving her alone he is putting her in more danger! That's what Harry does! He tries to do what he thinks is right and tries to make sure that nobody gets hurt, but it usually ends up that they get into even more trouble. I don't think that Harry is being selfish, I think he's trying to get through this war with as little of the people he loves hurt as possible. However, it would be so much more smart (as we know from experience and he should too) to keep Ginny close by . This way, LV can't use her against him like he did with Sirius.. look what happened to him because of it. Also, as has been said, Ginny is a very powerful witch, and it would be a good idea to have her close at hand.

i want to see harry and ginny together again. not only for harry's happiness but for destroying the horcruxes. what if when harry tries to destroy the horcruxes his love for ginny and his friends and family is what destroys them. much like when voldemort tries to possess harry in OotP and he can't when harry thinks of sirius and how he loved and missed him. and as DumbledoresArmy says by leaving her alone she is in more danger because to voldemort the weasley's are nothing but blood traitors

I want Harry and Ginny to be together in the end...they deserve to be together. Ginny has a really strong personality now and that is wat Harry needs. I wonder if it will be akward for them when Harry has to be at the Burrow for Fleur and Bill's wedding?

Yes I think that Ginny will be there with Harry at the final parry with LV - i think she will be what drives him onwards to defeat him - because at the moment Harry hasn't got much to live for - no family etc. Just Hermione Ron and Ginny.
I hope they get back together !!!

By pushing Ginny away, in my opinion, Harry showed how low his self-confidence was in the coming war. Harry felt so helpless that he could not do anything to prevent Sirius or Dumbledore's death. He was the marked man by Voldemort, yet other people died for his sake. Harry still felt guilty to drag Sirius to his demise. If only, Harry was wise enough to notice Voldemort's trick! That's why Sirius' name was blocked out in book 6. And then now Dumbledore was murdered right before his eyes. Once again, he was helpless. Counting what was left in the world for him, Harry's thought immediately was Ginny. She was so dear to him. Without Sirius and Dumbledore, Ginny was the dearest. Harry felt he could not defend her at all. Harry knew sooner or later Voldemort will find him. To find him, Voldemort will not hesitate to destroy anything Harry holds dearly or anything close to him. It's his feeling of incompetence that drives his unselfish mind. He is prepared to die, but he doesn't want Ginny to die. If he cannot save her in danger, at least he can prevent her from facing the danger, which is Voldemort.
If this doesn't represent the depth of Harry's love to Ginny, I don't know what else can.

Yeah, that I agree with Muggs, I don't think it was selfishness either, he wanted to do something to keep Ginny from harm, to know that she's there, safe enough, so he doesn't have to worry about her. He knows he needs love (Ron and Hermione) to help him on his journey, but he also needs love (Ginny) to be waiting for him till the final fight to help him deliver the final blow. But I think that Ginny will head the home front, the DA, take care of her family, so she'll be helping it effort.

Ginny Weasly is a really strong character and I do not think she get the respect she needs and deserve. At frist she was just the younger sister and baby of the Weasly clan but she has grown as a person. She really grew in to her character. She is funny, loyal, oppionated, strong-willed and soo much more. Alot of people say she should not be with Harry, that it is a bad mix, but i think those people should read books 5 and 6 again.....Ginny is certainly a character worth examining. Harry and Ginny should be togethere...

Ginny has really grown up, and she needs to be shown some respect. She isn't a crazed Harry Potter fan, and doesn't have just a childhood crush on him. They are in love. Harry broke up with her because he couldn't bear to loose her, someone he loves so much. But I don't think that he can keep it up for long. Their personalities go hand in hand. She has encountered Tom Riddle and so has he, of course. It is also like Lily and James Dark haired green eyed boy falls in love with red headed spunky girl towards the end of their education at hogwarts. It seems to fit with Harry and Ginny. At first it was just an older brother type love, but it has evolved, and they are meant for each other, destiny.

Peace,
Ginny

Wait, JK confirmed a happy ending? I didn't heat that! That's great! When did she confirm it, and where did you see this? A link would be greaty appreciated

Yeah, I think Ginny and Harry are a great couple. I wanted them to be with each other since the 2nd book, and was really excited with it in the 6th book, though found it a little rushed. I hope there's something more to their love in the 7th, it would make it funner.

I agree they deserve to be happy. I thought of something today! It started when I was watching a Harry Potter fan-vid to the song Diary of Jane. The sipnosis was that Harry wanted Ginny after rescuing her from the chamber and she didn't want him, but she was greatful for him saving her. (Lol sorry about the life story but it has to do with what im going to say) So I was thinking what if he saved her, not because it was the right thing to do and he is heroic, what if he did it because he had some degree of feelings for her. Maybe he was to young to realize that he liked her. Or maybe she came on to strong. or maybe he felt he owed it to her after her sending him a valentine. So my new theory is that What if Harry had feelings for her. I know what your all thinking then why didn't he persue his feelings? This could be because he was friends with Ron, Ron and Hermione were his first real friends so maybe he felt weird because Ron is so overprotective of Ginny. What are your thoughts?? I know that this probably isn't possible but it was an interesting thought.

Wow, alot of awesome theories and comments everyone! I have nothing else to say, other than I agree with every single one of them! haha!

I cannot agree more I mean Ginny is really suppresed by everyone. Fred and George tells us about her under estimated power. In HBP we find out she is very resourceful and determined. I really can´t see Harry with anyone else. I hope they do end up together!!

hey there Potterfan7 just thought I would send you a quick note to let you know that your siggy is to large..the most it can be is 5 lines and yours is way over that...plus there is really no need to have all the spaces in there as well...I have been seeing a lot of large siggys in here lately...so I thought I would send out a reminder to everyone in here to check to make sure it is within the specified limits of 5 lines of text and up to 4 pictures which can be a TOTAL of 400px across and 150px down..

if you have any trouble with any of this please feel free to contact an auror or a wizengamont memeber and we will be more than happy to help you

ILoveHarryPotter07, I don't know that Harry really knew what he felt. I think that there was a strong want to keep her safe, probally stronger than what he's felt before, but I don't think any real love yet, though I'm sure in Muggs next post he'll write a very long one, detailing how much Harry felt for Ginny then.
Ginny is stronger than people give her credit for, and I think we'll see that in DH for sure.

I think it would be wonder ful for harry and ginny to fall in love and harry be able to be with her again . I hope it works out for them. Ginny and harry are able to tell each other there feelings easily thats what I like about them. Hary's a little protective of ginny and will have to losen up for there realatitonship to work but i hope it does.

Awe that was really cute I agree with you, I think they both deserve each other. Sorry mods for the small post

MOD EDIT: I know you know what you did..if you cant elaborate more then please dont post at all or wait until you do have enough to say

The information on the happy ending goes way back in Jo Rowling's interviews with BBC. You can check the HP lexicon or others for the exact words.
Real love is really complex to define. A simple one would be the strong, never-ending love. Harry has unconsciously paid attention to Ginny. Whenever he realised it, he thought it was a brotherly love. However, by now we should know better. That's the beginning of a never-ending love. I doubt Harry's love for Ginny can stop any moment. Ron can break up with Lavender without much sorrow (other than guilt), because there was no real love between them (may be one from Lavender). Harry would never get over Ginny, if in the beginning of book 7, Ginny would die. In fact, we remember, at the end of Book 1, whose voice did Harry strongly remember, despite 10 months absence? At the station, before even seeing the person, Harry has correctly noted the owner of the voice. A young boy with average memory and no knowledge of romance, has etched the high pitch of a little girl that has never actually talked to him. A beautiful pen-stroke from Jo Rowling.

muggleview: that´s a nice point you got there about the ¨A young boy with average memory and no knowledge of romance, has etched the high pitch of a little girl that has never actually talked to him. A beautiful pen-stroke from Jo Rowling.¨

I actually never really stop to notice that small part but now that you mention it it totally makes sense. It is the small things such as this one that really points out that despite everything Harry does in fact love Ginny. Harry was just too scared to lose her but I think he will realize in DH that she is safer with him than away from him.

Or ... what I suspect Jo Rowling has in mind all the time...
HARRY will be safer with Ginny than without her!

We always thought that Harry as the hero should be the mightiest, but in reality Jo Rowling is writing about an average hero, whose strength doesn't lie on the individual capability alone, but by the united power of true friendship and love from others. Harry is special, not because of his own power. He has received helps from Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione, Snape and many others to succeed. The best of all, he will get the help from the love of his life, Ginny, as she develops her power.

But I still think that Ginny will be not with Harry during the Horcrux hunt. But again, have a major role in the final fight. Wow I keep repeating myself, it's kind of annoying.
But I think that why Harry wants Ginny away from him is for the same reason Buffy sent her Mom away while she was fighting the mayor and blowing up the school. Buffy said that worrying about her Mom was to much of a distraction and basically if she stayed that distraction would be so great that Buffy wouldn't be able to do her job, and she would of died.

That's a right-on-target example, Ellen. Ginny will be a distraction for Harry during his fight with Voldemort, especially as Voldemort can read mind. He can taunt Harry about Ginny and make Harry nervous.
On the other hand, if Ginny is only useful at the end, it will be a waste of development in 6 books. I hope she can show what she can do early on in book 7.

I never noticed all the little things about Ginny and Harry in the first few books. I thought that was a really clever connection from the first book.
Anyway, I think in the seventh book, Ginny will play an important role, but not actually be part of Harry's search... maybe show up with a vital clue, when there has been no word from her beforehand. I used to think maybe she could salvage a horcrux herself, but that seems a bit too much.

I don't know Muggs, I think that if she developes an army of students at Hogwarts or helps with research, that's imporant. But I still think she won't be big with the fighting till the final fight.
Welcome kiss it better, there are a lot of people, me included, that think she won't be a part of the search.

Ginny won't be part of Harry's team to search horcrux. She may still form another team to search in different places. Otherwise, following Harry's wish she will not take part in any horcrux finding, but to help the Order preparing for the big war. I am not sure, which one Harry felt more dangerous for Ginny, to find horcruxes or to fight the war.

Well if she's supporting the fighting till the final fight and not in direct conflict with any thing, as the Trio is bond to face at least once during their hunt, then she's pretty safe. But then at the end jumping in and helping.
That's what I think, makes sense, no?

Until the end of HBP, there's no indication Ginny knows about Horcruxes. There are many things that Harry has not yet revealed to Ginny. We don't know what Ginny actually knows. She was really built up behind the screen so well.
We read that she monitored the conversation of the Order as much as she could. She was resourceful. Once she heard about Horcrux or other things, she may take actions. I hope Harry realises her potential and then openly talk to her, so each knows what to do. If Ginny forms a team with Neville and Luna to find Horcruxes, the task can be done faster.

Well, I first off want to say that I know that I wasn't a supporter of them before but lately I've been changing my mind a lot. I also decided that Hermione/Ron was a good ship (I didn't like them as a ship before either).

So, I don't know why I'm changing my mind all of a sudden but whatever, it doesn't matter. I think that Harry and Ginny would look cute together. I was previously a shipper of Draco and Ginny but I can now see that that is unlikely to happen. But if it did, I'd be happy. Whatever, you can't fight fate. Whatever happens, happens.

I respect that, Madmoiselle Lilly, and welcome to the team!
Anyway...

While Ginny would prove to be a valuable resource and aid in the horcrux quest, I think that he hasn't told her anything because he knew she would want to help. He has that whole "don't-put-yourself-in-danger-whatever-you-do" complex, and because Ginny is important to him, he wouldn't want her to know because then she might go out of her way to step into danger trying to get one. Therefore, he figures that the only way to protect her is to keep her in the dark, and as cute and thoughtful as that is, the best way to protect her is to have her with him at all times.

i love this ship...if you read through all the books, or even atleast the beginning of book six, there's little clues hidden all over indicating that harry and ginny do like each other...it always kind of bothered me when we saw ginny evolve from a shy intovert girl to a confident, social butterfly...i just kind of always felt like she still likes harry inside..and like i always say, harry will never be happy with anyone who doesnt know him well and hasnt seen him throughout the years...that's why ginny is perfect...she's seen harry forever...she knows what kind of relationship he has with hermione (strictly friendship), what he's always gone through regarding voldemort, and also what he has to endure at privet drive...it could've been hermione or ginny...but since we very well know its never going to be harry and hermione, it surely will be harry and ginny!! my ship's gonna turn out to true!

Chocobeer, we have the same wish: Harry and Ginny will forever be together in Book 7.
I need to point out that Ginny didn't change her personality from introvert to extrovert. We all are deceived by Harry's subjective perception. Remember, Ron told Harry in book 2 that Ginny usually never shut up. Ginny couldn't speak only in front of Harry. From Harry's eyes, Ginny was an introvert person. Until book 5, Harry never saw the real Ginny. He always saw Ginny who struggled to cope with her feeling for Harry, making her beside herself everytime Harry was around. When Harry was not around, Ginny was still the forceful girl, who tried her brothers' broom since age 6, who learned hexes not taught in the class, who must have practiced hard to achieve the Quidditch performance as she showed. Jo Rowling tried to defuse Harry's assumption by inserting comments from her brothers or friends. How the Twins feared Ginny's Bat Bogey Hex (if the Twins were helpless, the hex must be very good and not easy to cast!). How she made a singing get-well card for Harry and had the gut to personally gave it to him at the hospital (a real shy girl would rather die than do that). How she stood up for Luna (that's not an introvert girl's act).
So:
- Ginny has been a forceful girl, full of wit and energy.
- We didn't see it, because Harry didn't see her in that behaviour.
- Harry only saw her struggling with her feeling, and not able to speak.
- Ginny's friends and brothers testified the facts to fill us in about the real Ginny.
- After following Hermione's suggestion, Ginny can now be herself in front of Harry.
- Now Harry saw Ginny as she really is.

That sounds about right Muggs, I like who Ginny was in OotP, I thought it was cool that she was coming to her own. And all those moments seem to be "blink and you'll miss them" moments. But I got a feeling that Ginny was being more imporant. JK was very clever with how she brought Ginny to front stage.

muggleview: That is a really good explanation of Ginny though the years! I totally agree with every point you make there. Ginny is not the shy introvert girl. She totally shows her true character to Harry in OOTP and I think that was the main reason Harry started to notice the true Ginny. I think we are going to see a lot of Ginny in book 7.

Yeah I agree that Ginny is more forward with Harry now whereas she used to be the shy little girl!!! I hope that Harry and Ginny do get together in the seventh book that would be the perfect ending !!!

I think we all are hoping for a happy end, but not expecting anything to sugary sweet, but I don't think that any of us is expecting that, it would feel fake, and something JK did so beautifully is that she makes us laugh and cry with the characters.
I'm sure that Ginny will be imporant, how does everyone invision the situation between them at the wedding? How they'll act to eachother.

im totally for Harry and Ginny. its such a good match\



i completely agree muggleview. i would naver have suspected h/g in the 1st or 2nd books because she seemed so shy, but i realised later on in the story that it was only around Harry. Hermione gave her really good advise so Harry could see the real Ginny and he loves that Ginny.


ya i realised that when i reread them! JKR is really good at what she does!!!

hey Madmoiselle Lilly! i use to be a HP/HG shipper but i realised its not going to happen, and Harry and Ginny are so cute togethe! its just too perfect.

ya Mistress of Magic i think Ginny could be alot of help but Harry doesnt want her to get hurt. but i dont think Harry will be able to get her to stay away from all the happinings. shes just not that kind of person.

gota go!!! see ya peeps!!

lol x <3

i have to agree with chocobeer. harry will never be happy with someone who doesn't understand him. ginny understands him better than anyone else. we get that from the break up at dumbledores funeral, "...and he knew at that moment they understood eachother perfectly..." HBP pg. 646. also even ron and hermione can't understand what he's gone through with voldemort. ginny is the one who can understand that aspect of his life the most because she was posessed by him, JKR even reminds us that in OotP (maybe to hint a harry/ginny relationship indirectly). so all in all no one can understand harry more than ginny does, not even ron and hermione. harry knows it and there isn't anyway around it. he loves her and at the wedding he will realize it.

i love that ginny and harry were together in HBP i was so sad when harry broke up with her in the end. im really hopping that they will get back together in DH but im not sure jk said they might
ps dose anyone no if mrs weasly knows about ginny and harry going out??

Hmm...it's possible that Ginny or Ron told their mother about the relationship, so she could or could not know.
eagleanimagous, it's true that Ginny understands something about Voldermort that very few people can, that's something they share that no other couple does. That's what really puts power in it, an intensity, that I really hope traslates to the screen with Dan and Bonnie.

I hope when it comes time to make the HBP movie, that Dan and Bonnie do a good job. It might be kinda hard since Ginny hasn't really had a major role in the movies. She has kinda just been in the background with one-liners. It is getting better with each movie though. I'm sure in OOTP she will play a much bigger part since she is one of the main DA members (she comes up with the frickin name!). They need to give Bonnie more screen time anyway, she is too pretty to be kept in the background.

- Phoenix

I'm not too concerned about whether or not they do a good job. They will. Warber Brothers would make it that way, because both Warner Brothers and Dan and Bonnie know that if they don't, the fans will execute them.

Yes, I do agree *phoenixcore*, Bonnie Wright is quite pretty and they will have to bring her much more forward so that the non-book-reading fans will not all of a sudden be taken aback by their blossoming love.

Bonnie is beautiful, and talented. They will do fine. Absolutely fine. I do agree that she needs more screen time, and I think that they will need to start playing it up in the movie more, like they've done with Ron and Hermione. I do believe that Mrs. Weasley knows about Harry and Ginny. Ron wouldn't have been able to keep his mouth shut, and I doubt Ginny would have kept it a secret either.

Ginny will totally love Harry.I mean JK cannot just kill off such a strong relationship she has to keep it going.Ginny's character would not care about the consequences she would just want to be with her beloved Harry.That, or Hermione may fall for Harry or maybe Cho will....who knows ?I honestly think that Hermione may date Harry but Eventually Ron will win her over and then Cho may try her luck...although i cannot argue that harry and ginny have a very strong relationship Who really knows?Only the creator of Harry Potter will know the twists and turns that obscure our vision of what we think will happen....deep right?signing off(till tomorrow anyways) Hermione8990 P.S New comer here!!!Thanks for welcoming me into the forums!please tell me how you like my post...and tell the truth be brutal if necessary!!

MOD EDIT: your post was great up until the end..there is no netspeak allowed on the forums..for ex 2moro should be tomorrow ect..I have edited it this time but please be careful in the future

omg.. i love harry ginny! theyre so made for each other. you can tell its love to last. he loves her so much. enough to care more about her, then himself.

and even though harrys MINE.
i guesss
possibly...
i could share.

Honestly, I think that Harry and Ginny are absolutley adorable together!!! I remember that when i first read Chamber of Secrets I thought it would be cute if they got together. Aw! I'm a hopeless romantic though, hehe.

hermione8990, welcome. Your post was fine. Though I don't think JK would make her books quite as Melrose Place as you described, I'm sure it's better than whatever we could think up.
I'm sure Bonnie will be in OotP more than she was in GoF, I really think they'll include the "I know how it feels!" and have them have a bit of a moment.

I think Harry and Ginny make such a cute couple, and i can't wait for that scene in theHBP movie! I also think that if Ginny was willing to risk her life to stay with harry, she deserves him!
