Firstly, I always thought that Harry and Ginny would end up together.

And I liked where Ginny's character was going right up until the end of OotP.

But, I did not think that her character was paticularly likeable in HBP.

I expected we would have seen a lot more of Ginny in this book to give us a better understanding of her character and what finally pushed Harry into falling for her.

Instead Ginny hung around in the background of the book again, with only the slightest indications of Harry's growing feelings for her, and with no understanding of why he started to like her in that way.

I didn't want the book to turn into a teenage romance novel (which it almost did in parts with all the 'whos going out with who' subplots), but because Harry is the main character, and the one who I feel the greatest affiliation for, I was disappointed that his and Ginny's coming together wasn't handled a bit more thoroughly.

And I thought the final scene between them where he tells her they cant be together, was written with very little emotional sensitivity.

By the end of the book, I just didn't care enough for Ginny and Harry to be together. Not at all like Hermione and Ron's growing relationship, which I have great affection for.

Did you think it was handled well, and are you fond of who Ginny is now you have read HBP?

Yeah Ginny is hot (Or I picture her as Hot) I like her.

Who is that girl in your pcitures below your post? Is that Fleur?

She has to be hotter than that....

well, there's always that sort of lingering thing for your best friend's sibbling. who doesn't have that? please! i have a brother 4 years older than i am, and i just can't stop drooling. anyway, i'm a little dissapointed that ginny turned out to be a little like a vamp. no, not a vamPIRE, a vamp, as in, well,you know. she's got how many brothers trying to look after her? sure, she has every right to get around, but it seemed a bit much. we'll see what happens in book 7, but i can understand why the ginny/harry is logical. oh, and hari, i agree about fleur, that's supposed to be her...and cedric isn't all that good looking, either. stupid casting director...

Krum looks pretty good looking, dark and mysterious and all that. Cedric looks pretty whimpy and Fleur not nearly hot enough for a quarter Veela.

What France ran out of hot girls? Yeah right.

MOD NOTE: Please do not go off-topic. There are other threads where you can talk about Fleur.

She better have the heavy french accent in the movie.

She better put out.

Err... Let's get back to topic guys... or you might find the mods coming down on you.

I just dont think JK did a very good job on writing Ginny's part in HBP.

I expect JK knew all along that Harry and Ginny were going to get together, but I dont think she translated it very well onto paper.

Ginny came off as being fickle at the least, and even aggressive and arrogant.

She seemed so over confident with the way she threw hexes around at people who annoyed her, and she flew off the handle at Hermione in a very nasty way, as well as dobbing her in for kissing Krum.

She was not very endearing, I think.

I get it, why Harry feel for her. For Ginny isn't just Ginny, but a Weasley, with it comes the kind of love from family Harry could never grasp. She is also pretty, Harry just couldn't she that yet. I don't think she's vamp. She's had two boyfriends, she went out with them both for quite a while. And she's 15, kissing a boy, gota say not uncommon.
Quote "The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing."

Sure Ginny was a background character, but that doesn't lower the cuteness factor.

It is a little weird that harry, will go after a younger girl. When, it seems he can get anyone he wants. It does make sense though that he does like Ginny and that after several years he recipricates feelings for her.

She liked him when he was just bad potter. This could make things funny over the summer if he hangs out with the weasleys. Though I think he should concentrate on his task ahead, harry has do something that Voldie can't, he can love. And that has made all the difference!

Ginny was one of my favorites here...even though she wasn't as prominent as she could have been. I really didn't want Harry and Ginny to get together in book 5, but here I loved it. As for the "younger girl" thing someone mentioned, one year really isn't much. It is a little weird that she's his very best friend's sister...I don't think it was entirely realistic how easily Ron took it. In real life, that would be really, really awkward.

i liked her...i always have...she's funny and keeps harry happy...i bet most people hated her 'attitude' towards ron but what could you expect?? she was just letting out all the frustration she'd been feeling about always being 'protected' as a little sister...you'll notice that she'd been reasonably calm about the whole thing before but she flipped at that moment when they caught her with dean...anyways i'm just happy j.k gave her more attention this time round and that ginny and harry are (finally) together...well kinda...

JK should have developed the H/G relationship a bit more and even Ginny's character some more... i am happy however that Harry has seem to met his match in Ginny...

I always liked Ginny but in the HBP she's way too cool, she doesn't show any real emotions and that's just a bit weird, isn't it. This Harry-Ginny thing went way too fast, and when they got together, Harry was as cool in this relationship as Ginny, remember book 5 with Cho, he was so nervous back then. There should have been more about them and for me even more important about Ron and Hermione.

I think Ginny is likeable. She's smart and funny (fred and george's influence I think)

I totally understand how someone can fall for someone without much warning.

In the book it talked about Harry's "what is that feeling" "its just a sisterly love thing" "oh no its more"

These things just happen.

Ginny is kinda likable in a weird way!

MOD EDIT: No one-liner is allowed. please read the rules. Thanks.

I quite liked the idea that Harry and Ginny got together - I like the pairing.

It was sort of hinted at - when Harry first went into Slughorn's class and smelt the love potion, there was a smell that he knew but couldn't quite place - he then smelt it again later when Ginny was in his company. And love potions emit a different smell to whoever is around them and to what attracts them.

Also, all the other girls that are fawning over Harry in the book are only doing so because of what happened at The Ministry and because he was right about Voldemort coming back, Ginny has liked Harry from the start - she knew she would just have to be patient and wait for him which I think is quite sweet.

I liked Giny on HBP, she was more confident, and I always had Ginny down as the female Fred & George.

She has had to deal with having older brothers who are looking out for her and she has decided to start letting them know that she can do what she likes.

Also, Harry is always saying that the Weasley's are his favourite family in the world, so by being with Ginny he will become part of that (not that I mean thats the reason he is with Ginny).

I hope they stay together or at least get back together after everything is finished.

Hi there,

I'm not a mod, so I dont mean to be bossy, but it's just a suggestion that you read through the rules before posting. It only takes about two minutes, but you will learn there are no on-liner posts allowed, and for people further up on the thread, you really must try to stay on topic.

If you have any quiries that you might like to ask, you know, someone who can point you in the right direction, you can always PM me. I am part of the Adopt a Newbie Program, so I am here to help ya out whenever you feel the need.

Ginny has long red hair.

Lily had long red hair.

Harry is probably going for someone who reminds him of his dead mother that he never knew.

I am glad he happy though!

Harry and Ginny is right I think. Harry has many
burdens, and Ginny is spunk and humor and
independence. I doubt highly she will take his decision
lying down. I think she wants to be with them
all fighting He-who-must-not-be-named...

I think Ginny showed a lot of emotion in the book,
she told Fred and George off, Ron off, and when
Harmione was getting on Harry over something she
told Harmione off. Ginny told Harry that she was happy
he brought Luna to the party. Harry has never been
more happy as he was with Ginny. I think in the end
they should be together, they compliment each other
so well.

Though I do think that a couples councilor should
sit down with Ron and Harmione, because I just do
not see them getting together on their own. Really
funny how long they are getting to it.

I kinda like her kinda of don't - I think her character was a little different in HBP

I do like Ginny.

I think that her character compliments Harry's well, they have the same passion for adventure (not to mention Quidditch) and understand each other well.

The way she progressed from CoS to OoP was really interesting, since she has turned from a blushing, giggling pest type character into a valid love interest.

I'm really interested to see when it goes from here, whether he'll trust in her enough (and I guess in a larger sense, trust in himself) to be able to let here into his life, no matter the danger involved.

As was famously said, 'To live, is to suffer' and what is life if you don't allow love to come into the equasion.

Also, if Ron and Hermione get it on, then Harry'll be a bit of a goosebury if he doesn't have a girlfriend

I have to agree with you- I liked Ginny up until this book. This time around, I have to say that I got a little sick of her- I could see her and Harry getting together in book 5, now it just seemed a little of 'well, everyone's expecting it, so we better put it in'.

and then the way it was written--- WHOA.... I felt like I was back in primary school/early high school reading Sweet Valley or something!

Yeah, you know, I almost felt like JK was bowing to her fans who do all this shipping and fanfics, it just seemed a little trite the way it finally happened.

BTW Pixy, I love your avatar! I have had a giggle everytime I come across it in the threads.

I've never liked ginny
and the thing that disapointed me too was that harry fights so much with hermione, and in the end, when he comes back from his Dd adventure to check if everyone's okay.. he's asking about inny and ron, even luna and neville, but NO ONE speaks about hermione.. as though hermione isn't important anymore as long as harry's hgot ginny... don't like the new situation..

Yeah, I know I'm a little late, but hey, better late than never, right?

Anyways, keep the one liners down, and keep it on topic. No more tangents about Fleur and Cedric, kapish?

i think ginny is likeable. i can't really argue why because everyone likes different sorts of people, but i think she's funny. i love funny people. and shes also honest, which is a trait i value as well. if she snaps at people and seems a little cruel, i supposed it was all honesty. she reminds me of her mother in a way thats sorta ironic, because ginny has been so sheltered all her life, but i think she is fiercely protective too. fierce is a good word for her, which some people might think of as bad, but i think ginny's fierce attitude may be the perfect thing to keep harry in check we all know he can get sullen, angry, and procrastinate...y?

ginny is my favorite character, and i always knew/hoped she and harry would get together. i think they make an excellent pairing, and i don't critisize the way JKR wrote their relationship at all. someone accused it of being too 'sweet valley high'..well take it from someone going to high school..thats how relationships kind of work at Harry's age. it seems petty and jouvenile because it is petty and jouvenile at 16. however, that doesn't mean something real can't grow out of it. ok, ok, maybe it was a bit unrealistic with all the "revenge-dating" that went on, but unrealistic isn't something you can really accuse HP of being if you accept all the stuff about it taking place in a wizarding world. its made up! its bound to be imperfect, but i found it to be a funny and interesting subplot. because really, it isn't as important as the whole voldy-part. but its still fun.

also, JKR knows what shes doing and she definatley didn't cave in to fan pressure to put ginny with harry, while secretly wishing he had madeout with hermione or draco or whomever in book 6. she wrote what she wrote for a reason. can't we just trust her?

Hey you guys! Great to have this thread. Anyway, I think Harry had to fall for Ginny eventually. Though I didn't really understand as to why he fell for her. It seemed to have happened a bit too quick didn't it? Like he just saw her and boom he got jealous of Dean.

Perhaps it's because Ginny has almost always been there for him even though they weren't romantically linked (aside from CoS). She knows Harry well enough that he knows that Ginny wouldn't judge him or is only going out with him because he's famous and according to Hermione "fanciable". But after all, didn't Ginny have a crush on Harry in CoS because he is the Harry Potter.

I'm 50-50 on Ginny.

Yes I agree. Harry and Ginny's short-lived emotions for each other were handled in slightly the wrong way. I would have expected clear hints as to why they liked each other. I would have thought JKR to expose more of Harry's thoughts. I.e give his reactions when she walked past and why. I also thought that all the character's physical appearances could have been better described. I had to keep telling myself that they were indeed 15/16/17 years of age now, pushing the image of young teens to the back of my head. I still could not understand how and why they liked each other. Why wasn't more of Ginny's physical appearance described, and Ron's. I was trying to work out if he was a tall, humorous and handsome teen or a skinny and lanky one. The relationships were alot more interesting than I had expected though I just felt they could have been more emotionally observent.

I like Ginny too. She's cute and funny and independent. The only thing that troubles me is the fact that the relationship ended at the end of the book. The pair seemed to take long enough to get together (seeing as Ginny had liked Harry for a few years)...and then, he just ends it? I hope that he will end up with her in the end, after he destroys Voldemort. I don't think he'll die at the end. Does anyone else think that the Harry/Ginny relationship is "true" love? Aka, will they eventually get married, have kids, etc? It would be cool, I think, if they ended up married, then the same happened with Ron and Hermoine. I mean, I know JKR isn't the type to have a "happily ever after" ending, but maybe she will have a Hollywood ending to the series, that so far, has been filled with death and tragedy. And, the end of this book, with Dumbledore dying...geesh. In the end, if Harry isn't alive, and in love, hopefully with Ginny, then that'd be a pretty depressing ending to the entire series.

aigia134, i agree with you completely. i think harry deserves a bit of happiness in his life, especially with all the stuff thats bound to happen in the next book, and he said it himself that being ginny made him more happy than he could ever remember. thats something worth noting. if the series does have a happy ending, im sure ginny and harry will be together. if not..i think one or the other will die. thats the only way i can concieve of that relationship being truly over.

I have to agree with you about the last scene though, it was not as sensitive as it could have been. It was just Ginny understand and then goodbye!

But as far as Ginny's character, there wasn't really a lot of it because there was not to much Quiddich and she was always with Dean.

I definitely saw a side of Ginny that I did not particularly care for in HBP. I suppose that my impression of her could partially be a result of the narrative perspective (Harry, a teenage boy, is practically fawning over the girl for whom he is developing romantic feelings), but she seemed like way too much of a flirt to me, always flicking her hair around and whatever (I remember that one coming up on some 'How do you tell if she's flirting?' thread in the 'Just Get Away From Life' forum a while back... this is a perfect case in point, hehe). Do you notice that all Harry ever seems to think about is her 'dancing hair'? It drives me absolutely up the wall... I'm definitely not a flirting type of girl and I must say that the ones in fiction drive me nearly as crazy as the ones in real life.

Also, it seemed to me that Ginny is using other boys a little too much. I know that it was supposed to sound all romantic and everything when she told Harry that she never gave up on him at the end of the book, but it seems to me that she was pulling a Hermione and going out with other guys just to make Harry jealous for three years at this point. I mean, it's hardly fair to Michael and Dean to go out with them and pretend she loves them when she's just trying to leverage these relationships to attract another guy's attention. A 'scarlet woman' if there ever was one.

Finally, it almost appears as though she's imitating Harry's behavior from OotP in this book... does Ginny think he'll see something in common with her and realize that he's actually madly in love if she walks around jinxing people and gets involved in unprovoked shouting matches with her friends (think Hermione)? I've sometimes seen girls try to act like the guys they like in hopes that the guy will see himself mirrored in her or something, and it seems like something that Ginny might try if she is really desperate. If that's what her real personality is like, though.... so much for the worst.

Wow, re-reading this post, it sounds like I've gone on a really Ginny-bashing streak... It's not that I hate her or anything, you have to understand -- she's great at Quidditch, I laughed aloud when she zoomed into Zacharias Smith on that broom during the match, she's brave, she's loyal, she's funny, and she's got a bit of a mischievous streak that I like -- it's just that I don't really admire her conduct in HBP, particularly where her various boyfriends are concerned. For one of the two heroines of the series (Hermione, of course, being the other), I'd hope that she'd act like a ditsy flirt just a tad bit less. I know, I know, it's a teenage girl thing... but not all teenage girls are like that (points at self ).

i think ginny rocks. Not only that but i picture her as really hot since the boys find her so ummm desirable. She is very witty, good at sports ie quidditch, very good at magic esp. hexes. All around next to hermione she is the coolest hottest girl in the books

Nope...can't stand her. Sorry...never have been able to take to her. I find her shallow, airheady, flighty and I think that she's another word that isn't suitable for use on this forum, but suffice it to say that it's a wonder the boys in Hogwarts aren't taking bets about her or passing comments about being buried in a Y-shaped coffin. The word she used to describe Fleur at one point, I believe. talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I'm not going to comment on the H/G ship because that would be off topic and I strongly urge anyone who posts after me not to either, lest you want to feel my wrath - which isn't pretty...

Suffice it to say that I think she's unworthy of Harry and I think that JKR has suddenly brought her character in from basically no-where to the front seat which seems to me to be totally contrived. When you don't like a character particularly, it's doesn't exactly go in their favour when the author who created her does something like that. I didn't like her before....I positively loath her now.

Woaw, Dana - dont hold back... tell us how you really feel.

Unfortunately I do agree with you after reading HBP. I really want to like her because I have a feeling she will end up in the thick of things in book 7, but I just dont think I will be able to care too much when it happens.

The only thing that I will care about is that Harry cares, so it will be Ok, I guess, but I would have loved Jk to have written Ginny's character much more realistic and well rounded. It's unusual that with Jk's gift for giving us very defined characters, she monumentally failed to do that with Ginny.

I was thinking that, in this book when they did finally get together (H&G), I would be punching the air with my fist yelling triumphantly 'YES! Yes!', but it just never happened. Her character totally failed to instil any enthusiasm in me by the end of the book.

I don't understand all this hatred towards Ginny

I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that but I don't think we have seen enough of her to hate her.

She was major in COS because she was the one who was taken into the chamber ans possessed by Voldemort and in OoTP I thought she held her own. She is prepared to take on whatever she has to for good.

I think she is going to be a very powerful witch, we don't know that much about her academically (sp?) but we know she is good at hexing people. But then again, so was James Potter, he used to hex Snape just because he was there and I haven't seen anyone say they hate him.

I see Ginny as the female version of Fred & George. There were many times when I thought that the twins were a bit harsh to Ron but it doesn't mean I don't like them.

As for the comments about Ginny's virtue (for want of a better word) - she is 15 (?) and she has had two boyfriends, both long term and as far I can see all she has done is kiss them. For a 15 year old to have had only 2 long term boyfriends, I think that is pretty good.

She broke up with Michael Corner (?) because he was moaning about getting beat at Quidditch and from what I can gather she just went off Dean and she really likes Harry - has done since she first met him.

She wouldn't be the first girl to break up with a boy for someone else.

I like Ginny and I was glad to see them get together. I dont want to go off-topic but the scene in which they finally kiss is one of my favourite parts of the book.

Harry needs someone like Ginny, who understands what he os going through, she has been there herself and she likes Harry for what he is and not who he is. She will stand up and fight alongside Harry. She is the total opposite of Cho Chang eho was into flowery, girly things which Harry wasn't and was one of the only people who answered Hermione's call for the DA members when the castle was attacked. In other words, like Ron and Hermione, I can see her being there for Harry when he needs her.

I really hate Ginny- I have no idea why! Ok, she was likeable in the 2nd book, but she has got awful, in later books... My friends have called her "Playboy" Ginny! She's changed so much over the past few books, and I don't like the change, she's just too different...

Awww, poor Ginny! You guys are mean!

I think if you look at her progress in the books each more she has got a little more confident and sure of herself and as I have said earlier, Harry is blatantly going for her she reminds him of her mother (and also I think, he is attracted to the characteristics of his father, the jinxing, cocksureness etc)

And it really doesn't come as a shock halfway through as even at the beginning of the book, JK is dropping slight hints, like on the train when she goes off to see Dean, Harry takes for granted she is going to be there and he gets slightly annoyed at something (jealously?) I can't remember exactly!

At the end of OOTP, Harry was dealing with Sirius's death to pay much attention to his feelings, plus he was into Cho Chang. And lets be honest, at 16, your hormones are all over the place!

Now, now Ginny certainly has changed and I am totally with anyone who thinks Ginny has changed in a "bad" way. I felt that she only started liking Harry because he is famous. Remember in the first book, she was the one who was pointing him out and her mum had told her that Harry is not a thing to be stared at like some zoo animal. But she started to become a major presence especially in the fifth book. That's where I found her really warm and caring and sincere towards people around her (except people she goes out with). But in the Half-Blood Prince, I don't know, she seemed to have become really cold and detached towards people. Well, maybe it's just me. But Harry really does seem to care about her more than he cared for Cho Chang. I suppose that makes it a lot different.

I have to agree with razzberry2 totally about Ginny. You really speak my mind.

Now I like Ginny. I don't hate her. I am a non-shipper. I'm happy with whatever the pairings are going to be, whether it is H/R, H/Hr, H/G, or H/L, or N/G, provided it makes sense. When I was reading CoS, I actually thought Ginny would end up with Harry, not that I support this ship, but because that seems to be logical and sweet. I was a bit surprised when she was pushed back to the background in PoA and GoF. In OotP, she comes out of her shell and shines, and I grow to like her even more.

However in HBP, it is a different story. Even I know all these years Ginny likes Harry, but he never notices her, and I don't believe she has given up. But I don't understand why all of a sudden Harry falls for her. I think it's the writing that's weaken her character. (Now I really like HBP, better than OotP, but I really think the weakest part is the romance in this book.)

razzberry2 has spoken the major points I want to say about Ginny. But I found the most annoying part is when Ginny told Hermione off about the HBP's book. I hate to say she is arrogant, but just because she is Harry's girl now, does she think that she is more superior than Hermione? I know sometimes Hermione is annoying and boss Harry around. I don't like that too. But all these years Hermione has been doing this to Harry, and quite a few times Ginny was there, has Ginny ever said anything before and told Hermione off like that? (Remember when Hermione was questioning Harry concerning Sirius in the classroom, and Ginny didn't tell Hermione off.) I thought it would have been better if Ginny has shown her support for Harry and told Hermione off before, and so Harry would start noticing her. I hope you understand my point. I'm not against Harry and Ginny getting together. It's just that the development of their relationship was too abrupt and not well written.

I was also disappointed with the other 'romances' in the book too, but since this is not the topic over here, I shall shut up.

I just want to say one more thing. Ginny should be more grateful for Hermione because she is the one who shows Ginny how to win Harry's heart. Now that she's got Harry, and she turns around and bickers with her. I think that's worse than her jinxing other people.

She snapped at Hermione once, its not as if she was badgering Hermione all through the book.

Ron gets on at Hermione all the time for pestering Harry, look at the amount of times they have argued or fallen out and no-one has said that he is bad for doing it!

I've gotta agree with Mel_Tonks. She snapped at Hermione once, when most of the other characters have had full-out rows with Hermione. And wasn't Harry grateful for it? I think the next sentence after that was something about Harry's gratitude towards Ginny for saying what she said. I think Ginny is very protective, which sometimes makes her appear, er, "witchy" (if you know what I mean). She reminds me a lot of her mother in that way. Remember when Mrs. Weasley thought Hermione was double-crossing Harry by dating Krum? She ignored her and treated her rudely for quite a while because she thought Hermione had hurt Harry's feelings. I don't remember anyone hating her for that. I'm reading about how people think Ginny is flighty and ditzy, and I must admit to being confused. Ginny? Ditzy? Are we thinking of the same person? Ginny is cool and level-headed if anything. I don't think Ginny is a "flirt" either. Harry tends to notice attractive girl's hair a lot (Cho's, Fleur's, Parvati's, Hermione's at the yule ball, etc.), I don't think Ginny is just tossing her hair around to get boy's attention. I think the fact that Harry notices her hair more in the beginning of HBP shows that he is starting to recognize her more as a woman. She never flirts with Harry, at least in anyway I recognize (and believe me, I know flirting) besides making him laugh. I don't see whats wrong with that! Harry needs someone who can make him laugh, when he tends to get dark, depressed, and mopey. Which he does. I also don't agree that Ginny "used" anyone to get to Harry. It would have been pathetic and very un-Ginny to wait around for Harry to notice her while rejecting the advances of any boy who isn't him. Although she never gave up, she knew she couldn't waste her time pining away for Harry. I admire this characteristic. I really like Ginny, and cannot accept some of these charges against her. Whatever her character flaws, I feel that she compliments Harry well. And we all know he has a flawed character if there ever was one. Nobody is perfect, not even characters in a novel.

I liked Ginny in HBP. I thought she was confident, funny, smart, outgoing, a lot of things. And like Pansy said on the train a lot of boys liked her so she is something special. I thought that she was funny when she hit Zachrias with her broom, and I think that she had every right to yell at Ron when he got mad at her when he found her and Dean, but she might of gone to far with mentioning Hermoine and Krum. Honestly, I would go out with Ginny once she came into charecter. Actually I didn't like her in CoS because she never talked to Harry becasue she liked him and because it was her fault that she put all those peoples lives in danger and didn't tell anyone. Harry didn't realize he liked Ginny until he spent the summer with her playing quidditch and making fun of Ron. Ginny unexpectedly came out and I liked her, I didn't think that people wouldn't, because I thought that she was a fun charecter, not as brainy and critical as Hermoine, not to say I don't like Hermoine, I just think that Ginny's a much more fun charecter.

I've always been a Harry-Ginny shipper, so - this book meant my "dreams" came true - until the last chapter, of course, I was so sad...

Anyway, I don't think Harry started seeing Ginny just because she's pretty (she has to be or she wouldn't attract so much male attention). I reckon he started realising she was more than his best mate's sister very early in the book (train, anyone?).

I reckon this wasn't the end of the H-G relationship, because my interpretation is that they love each other, and love can't be destroyed by distance (realised I'm a girl by now, have you? Some take me for a guy, don't know why...).

Hoping I'm only slightly off-topic...

-Sekoe

I loved Ginny in COS but in HBP she seems to be too perfect, at least she thinks it of herself ( sorry, that's what I think). I mean Hermione has her faults, Ron certainly has them and of course Harry as well...but Ginny, she flirts and kisses with the guys, hexes, is always cool about everything (I mean would you girls have reacted the same way if Harry had broken up like this with you?). It's just not realistic. I pick up the words one of you has used: she seems arrogant and all the bits that Dana said (you really put it right )

Harry lived Weasleys during most of his Summer vacations, he saw the love relationships of Ron/Hermione and Bill/Fleur. SO I think he got caught up in that love atmosphere and started seeing Ginny as more than a friend. At first I think he considered as a sister that he has never had, remember (except Sirius) that Harry has never lived with a loving family.
Then at school, GInny is a background character, but Harry can't stop noticing her. At this moment I think, he starts liking her...

Ginny's a winner...She dated Harry, din't she ?? I always wanted Ginny to be Harry's girlfriend!!!!! They make a great couple!!! And I do think Ginny is very likeable. I mean, she very nice and funnny!!!! She has a great personality, and obviously, Harry thought the same as me!!!

Hi im new here...

anyway im just sad that harry and luna didn't end up...Ginny is okay but i think Luna is better for harry...
