Becky, Harry (Dan) will kiss Cho (Katie) in movie 5. Ginny (Bonnie) can also kiss Dean in the beginning of movie 6. That will make it even. I have confident that the actors/actresses can handle the kisses well. It's us that I have doubt How many on screen H/G kisses can we handle?

It's not the actual kisses I'm concered with, it's the acting that goes along with making clear that Harry and Ginny have this whole-soulmates-classic love thing going on. But like I said, I have a lot of faith in Dan. He is truely amasing, and Bonnie will hopefully take the lead from him to create something 'magical' .

have to agree with you on this. i agree in fact with everybody's response her. i hope the acting and dialogue will be good. i am sure that they will both be very professional. dan is amzing and i'm sure he and bonnie will make the scene worthwhile.

To bad we have to wait like two years, sigh, but hey the last book will be out in a year, as will the next movie, so I think that me can live till then. I wonder if they'll include Ginny having Micheal as her boyfriend, just cut it for time. But still have her confindent.

I know I can live until then. But I have to admit it will be hard to. Maybe they will show a scene that Ginny and Michael are BF and GF and then later on have a scene where Ginny is breaking up with him or Ginny telling someone that they broke up.

Understanding how Steve Klove chopped and mixed the script, I get the feeling that Michael will not be shown at all, may be only mentioned casually to show Harry's surprised response. The relationship with Dean canl be shown on the movie 6, although the kiss should certainly be less steamy than the kiss with Harry.
It's important to see Harry's feeling on screen, because the movie didn't show as many hints to H/G as in the books. Also, looking back at movie 2, Ginny's crush on Harry was not shown very clearly as well. Movie 2 showed the foreshadowing, but movie 3 and 4 didn't. Now the audience needs to see that Harry's infatuation with Cho can only be broken by the thought of Ginny, like in Book 5, so the audience can have the same picture as the readers, that Harry has been eyeing on Ginny subconciously, without realizing that he treated her more than just as her brother's friend.

I don't think it was Ginny that broke Cho and Harry up, I think it was Cedric, or the memory of him. And I think of Dean and Ginny being quite steamy, but not a whole lot of else. Because I think that when Dean tryed to turn it into something more, she pulled away, because she noticed Harry noticing her, and Hermione helped confirm. I see Harry and Ginny acting very much like Leo and Clarie in the Baz Lurhmann Romeo and Juliet, or Jason and Shire from Roswell.

It's not Ginny who broke Harry-Cho. Harry & Cho simply found their relationship not working. They broke after Cho's friend was found betraying D.A.
What I meant was: only the news about Ginny (having a boyfriend) can penetrate Harry's thought which was full of Cho's wave at the time.
Dean-Ginny's relationship somehow deteriorated although we saw commitment from Ginny always to "go to Dean". Shouldn't we see Dean picking up Ginny for a change? Can it be a reflection from Jo's own first marriage experience?
I agree with Ellen's assessment that Harry broke up with Ginny not because he doesn't want to be with Ginny, but because he has to be alone to face Voldemort. Only after finishing the task, he is free to be with Ginny, whom he truly loves.

I don't really think Voldemort is going to care one way or another that Harry liked Ginny, went out with her, or broke up with her. He knows Harry cares about Ginny a lot and that's all that matters. And it's not like he ever learned Occlumency either... Voldemort knows Harry cares about Ginny because he has already saved her in the Chamber, and he also knows Ginny cares about Harry because she went on and on in that diary. Ginny poured a little too much out into that diary because she was young and a bit hasty. Harry calling it off won't matter because it doesn't stop them from liking each other.

Droobles, it's not Voldemort who read the diary. It's Tom Riddle. The diary was destroyed before Voldemort can retrieve it, so Ginny's information in the diary will not be known to Voldemort. As for Harry's love interest, until now Voldemort doesn't care, because essentially he undermines Harry, but once he feels Harry as his equal, Ginny will be in danger. I think in book 7 with each progress of finding the horcruxes, Harry will gain more power, so he can stand up against Voldemort man to man. Dumbledore may provide him with some extra boost. So it's important for Harry to be alone right now. Harry may think Ginny is safer with her family, than with him, so he decided to walk out of their relationship. He left her because he loves her too much to see her suffer.

But Voldemort controls his horcruxes. Isn't he going to know what's happening to it? The pieces of his soul can't do anything without his help. And besides, it must have been him trying to regain his body because he had just lost hi chance with professor Quirrell and the sorceror's stone...so he had to go on to one of his horcruxes. *shrug*

I still don't think the break up will matter in the long run. Voldemort can just peer into Harry's little head and take a peep. Harry should have taken Snape's lessons more serious because it is now going to hurt him in the long run. I also think Harry will have help at least from Ron&Hermione because they said they would've left if they didn't want to be around him before now...

WOW..I haven't been here in forever! lol..well I agree with Droobles..he could just look into Harry's mind and discover that he is in love..Hasn't he already used this to manipulate Harry? (Sirius in the Department of Mysteries) Maybe Harry had taken this into concideration before he broke it off with her, because clearly he didn't want to end things with her. Also he can break things off..but can he really stop his feelings for her? They don't necessarliy need to be together for her to be in danger. And if Snape told Voldemort of these feelings then he doesn't need to use legimincey(sp?). Plus she is in danger either way..her WHOLE family is in the order..well those that can be in the order..and excluding Percy . So even though they are 'over' if Harry can't stop his feelings shes still 'in danger'..I wonder if he realized this..lol..Also he needs LOVE to defeat Voldemort.. I know this was talked about earlier so i won't go into much detail..but I think in the end he is going to need Ginny. And we all know that she will put herself in danger..shes not going to sit idley by and watch the war..this we know from books 5&6 and her personality.
That my thoughts on this for now
Courtney

Regarding the horcruxes, it has been said that each operates separately, until something triggers the release ("in essence divided"). Nevertheless, I agree that Voldemort can easily get information about Harry's love interest if he wants to. I don't know if Voldemort and Harry are still connected, because Harry didn't hear or dream anything since the end of Book 5. Voldemort or Dumbledore may have cut the connection.
It's true that all Weasleys are in "mortal peril" as shown by the magical clock. Percy's included since he works for the Ministry and the Ministry is trying to capture Voldemort.
Voldemort is a master of manipulation. He has used Sirius, someone Harry regards dearly, to lure him into trap. He may use Ginny in Book 7 for the same purpose, only this time Ginny has made some preparation, I believe. She can never forget her previous trauma, so she may collect some tricks and hexes for the next encounter. If Jo is true to her quid-pro-quo rule, then this time it's possible that Ginny will save Harry from Voldemort's murdeous hand, and thereafter, Harry and Voldemort will have their final duel. Harry's most powerful weapon can be the love he shares with Ginny.

It would be nice of Harry & Ginny got back together in the next book. Just not far that Valdemor is being not varry nice at all.

Yeah, when Voldermort slipt himslef up, that part of him he put in the dairy was no longer a part of Voldermort as whole when it was made. So he wouldn't know. But I think that Harry wanted to distance himself from Ginny because he believes, and with good reason, that Ginny shouldn't be on the fornt line, so to speak, because of him. But I get what you guys are saying, Ginny is in danger because of her family anyway.

Well..I think that she is in danger as I said in my last post. But I think that Harry trying to distance himself is not going to work..as we have seen from her personality she is very headstrong and stubborn. Also as I said in the last post I think Harry is going to need her weather he realizes it or not.
Courtney

Ginny is stubborn and strong-willed, but she accepted Harry's decision and is faithful to it. I think in the beginning of Book 7, they will prepare for the war separately, until Harry realizes he needs Ginny's help or until Ginny shows her capacity to help (by mobilizing D.A., for instance).
It's also possible that Harry and Ginny will have to retrace the diary incident to understand how horcruxes work and can be destroyed.

oh...good point Muggleview..
They may have to retrace the diary..but..they will have to see eachother at Bill and Fluer's wedding..who knows? I'm not too sure that she is going to easilly accept that her and harry are over however..I mean it seems shes ok at the end of book six but a couple weeks could change that..as could seeing him again or even at the wedding where there will be happy couples living in the moment and dancing. I'm not sure of all the details but one thing I hope is that they will be together at the end of book seven.
Courtney

Yeah... I wonder what will happen if Harry sees Ginny's tears. During Bill and Fleur's wedding, Ginny will try to keep Harry's wish by ignoring him, but finally she couldn't hold her tears, and Harry has to face it. Maybe then Harry, Ron& Hermione already find something in their planned trip to Godric Hollow before the wedding. Harry realizes he won't gain anything by breaking up with Ginny, instead, he needs Ginny's help to solve the horcrux issue. During the wedding, he can tell Ginny, how impossible for him not to see her again etc.

I dunno...I think Ginny will help the Order, maybe head the DA, but mostly her family. I think that she is needed at home, all of her brothers have flown the nest, so to speak, and I think that she needs to make sure there's a home to come home to after the war.
But I think there will be a spot of drama at the wedding for this pair.

i completly and uterly agree with ILoveHarryPotter07 for it is stated by Dumbledore that 'the power he knows not' is love and if he pushes away Ginny she will still be in danger because harry hasn't mastered occumulary and you know voldemort is going to get into his head for leverage to end the war now that dumbledore is 'dead'

Yes it would be grat of Ginny & Harry go back together and helped each other stomp out evil with Harry's good freinds.

I still think that Ginny wouldn't go with the Trio to get the Horcruxes, I think it's possiable that she will help in the final fight, or battle, whatever. But I think that she'll be head the DA or something like that. Someone has to take care of everything, I think that's Ginny's job.

For finding the horcruxes, Harry gets full help from Ron & Hermione. I don't think Ginny should go along. She is more useful doing other things with the Order. Besides, Ginny already accepted Harry's decision. Basically, she was asked to wait until Voldemort is gone. She doesn't have to sit idle, but she shouldn't be seen together with Harry until the final battle.
The theory I think possible is Voldemort will use Ginny to lure Harry, but when Harry and Ginny are together, they produce the power that vanguishes Voldemort himself.

Yes, but Harry has yet to figure that out. I think she'll help to finally put V-diddy down though, as Muggy suggested. I just really hope that Harry doesn't die after that happens, because that would be very depressing.

yeah ginny has a definite role to play in taking down voldy and i think that in the end voldy will lure harry to him with her but together harry and ginny are basicallly invincible and they take down voldy

but jk rowling told us that 2 main characters will die and it probly ron and hermione but it could be harry and ginny who knows

The nightmare someone posted before (I don't remember in this thread or somewhere else): Harry and Ginny decide to walk through the Veil together. It's possible that Voldemort left something inside Harry and Ginny during the brief possession, that can turn evil, so they decide to take with them to the next dimension. This kind of sad preposition is meant to prepare ourselves for Book 7. Hopefully the ending is much happier for this couple.

I think that there are other people much more likely to die than Ron and Hermione. And that hole walking thorugh the viel things sounds kind of...stupid. I think that last battle will be fought at Hogwarts for one, and I don't think Harry would let Ginny go through the viel with him. It leads to the sprital plain of the dead.

I agree, Ellen. The Veil thing is not elegant at all. I think the idea came from Terminator 2, where Arnold Swartzenegger sacrificed himself to prevent new Terminator to be built. Or other movies like that. The final battle may be at Hogwarts, but it can also at Godric Hollow, or even Privet Drive (back to Book 1 Chapter 1).
If it's at Hogwarts, I still think they may fight it in the Chamber of Secrets.

Me too, JK has made a refence to it, or so people beliefe, when she said that if she could be in any room in Hogwarts it would be somewhere Harry's been before and didn't realise how imporant it was, or something like that. Anyway, I don't think we're done at Hogwarts, even if the trio goes off on there quest deally.

Could that be Room of Requirement? Harry left HBP Potion Book there, and saw a bloody axe. May be he found 6 horcruxes neatly place there with labels etc., left by R.A.B.?
That may be a good place for Harry and Ginny to meet. Harry enters it from Diagon Alley. Ginny from Hogwarts, and they meet inside and make up.

i'm not sure she will, i do agree that a Harry/Ginny relationship is likely, so i'm not here as an anti! but i don't think that having gone through 6 books with 3 main characters, that Ron and Hermione will be just thrown aside so Ginny can take over. I just don't see it.



I think it's a little obvious to be Ron and Hermione, and JKR likes to shock, few people got the deaths right in the last 2 books

Catherine, the trio will do most of the action. I agree with that.
The idea is Ginny actually "the secret weapon" against Voldermot, that Jo has been hiding.
Ginny will provide the true love to Harry as the ultimate power to vanguish the Dark Lord.
Therefore, Ginny will only be "activated" near the end, similar to Book 5.
The "true love", however, cannot be said just in one book. Jo has been nourishing the love since the end of book 1 for Ginny, while Harry has had the unexplainable feeling for Ginny since the time he saw her at the station. This "love" has undergone years of ignorance, denial, and trial, and prevails, so this proven love can be used against Voldemort.
The love here is not a simple romantic love. It's a sacrificial love, the greatest one. The love that doesn't wait until the other party returns the same degree. For example, Ginny is willing to die for Harry, even Harry doesn't recognise her love. Harry is willing to die for Ginny, even Ginny has another boyfriend. If the two parts combine (Harry returns Ginny's love and Ginny returns Harry's love), it will form a strong bond and power.
I don't wish any of the trio or Ginny will die prematurely. I hope Harry and Ginny can enjoy their golden days.

Hey
I totally agree with Muggleview:

It is sacrifical love..but maybe their willingness to die for one another will result in one or both of their deaths. But isn't that what love is about..willing to sacrifice ones self for the life of the one they love?? Maybe this is similar to Lily and James relationship..idk..tell me what you think
Courtney

Yes, we know from Lily's case that sacrificial love defeated Voldemort's capability. Harry and Ginny will use the bond to make themselves untouchable to Voldemort and in turn, make Voldemort suffer. A nice twist will be if Voldemort succeeds to make one horcrux alive, so there will be two of them. Both will shoot at Harry and Ginny while they hold each other and shoot their hexes. The love surrounding them will deflect LV1's killing curse to LV2, at the same time LV2's hex kills LV1. The prophecy is fulfilled. Harry-Ginny can live happily until Jo says stop.

Umm...no, I don't really like that. And last time I checked this story wasn't Romeo and Juliet, so I don't think that both Harry and Ginny will die. And I've thought about the RoR since then, I guess it could be either. Either way, I think Hogwarts will be the setting for the last battle, it would be very symbolic, because Hogwarts means so much to both Harry and Voldermort.
I agree with Muggy's point that Ginny won't come in till the end, and all the stuff about how they're willing to die for eacother.

oooohhh...MuggleView! I love love love that idea!!!! I think that they deserve to live..I think that if any of the trio or Ginny die..Its going to make the book that much sadder. Its already sad because we know there will be deaths..lots..and its the last book. Somthing tells me thought at least one of the trio are dead. OK sorry but as I think thats a good idea..is it too complicated?.. And Amyrat..I know its not romeo and juliet lol..but if it is a trajedy..(theres a topic somewhere on here about comparing HP to a trajady) then the main character(s) will most likely die. And I agree the last battle will be fought at hogwarts.
Courtney

No! Not a tragedy, please! Jo promised a happy ending, or a kind of. We will mourn some good characters' death, but in general I hope the trio and Ginny survive.
I wonder if Jo likes a grand finale, like Tolkien. The final battle at Hogwarts may be a grand one. Dementors, werewolves, vampires vs. goblins, elves, giants, whereas Death Eaters will face the Order of the Phoenix plus Dumbledore's Army. Then, Harry will chase Voldemort to the Chamber of Secrets where Ginny is held hostage, and the final showdown happens there.

Hey!
I like the Harry chacing Voldemort into the chamber where Ginny is held hostage..I think that would be good as well as partially simbolic..because thats where the prospect of Harry and Ginny really comes in (not that I noticed) and thats where the horecruxes begin really.

Also: We REALLY need a new question...or idea..a really good one lol..so if anyone has one..

Courtney

I guess these stories could be seen as a tradey in the classic sense, for those who don't know what the requirerments of a that is, the main character is an extraordanairy person with major stature in the society they're part of. The character has a tragic flaw, example: Hamlet, to much talk and no rock, and this leads to their downfall or fall from grace. But I hope that it doesn't end this story doesn't end with a buch of people getting stabbed and posined.
I'm not sure about Ginny being a hostage agian, JK isn't one to repeat herself, but it's not unlikely that Ginny or someone else will be used in some way to get to Harry.

The question I often heard against H/G is that Harry never see Ginny before OOP. How many of you see this? How many have seen the opposite (Harry did pay attention to Ginny prior OOP)?

I think that Harry was to distracted by Cho when he strated liking girls and Ginny was to shy, so Harry really couldn't notice her. But in OotP things changed, it was Ginny that Harry opened up to when he said he wanted to talk to Sirius, and he started to feel better, but he didn't know it was because of Ginny, they were interrupted. It's kind of one of those blink and you'll miss it moments, but imporant all the same.

humm...this is a really good question!
I have to agree..when he started to like girls he liked Cho..its not that he didn't notice Ginny..he had always seen her a Ron's little sister. She was also shy..and he might not have noticed her much because she was younger (granted that Cho was older) and they didn't talk much..plus shes not really a huge part of GoF or PoA the only book shes really in is CoS, well before OotP and HBP. Also the first time we really see her talking and acting like shes over harry is during DA I think that when he broke up with Cho he really started to notice her for who she was,Ginny not Rons little sister. And I beleive thats when he started to like her. Heres a question..its kind of part of this discussion..is their relationship much like Lily and James? Could their end be the same?
Courtney

[font=Arial]i for one, hope they live longer than lily and james... but it is sort of like that (harry and his father seem to have a thing for redheads... ) i think harry thought of ginny as ron's sister up til the sixth book fr a reason, like she was too young, but now she's older, so... it's hard to see her as ron's sister and not a pretty girl he really likes.
isn't that cute?but seriously, what happens to ginny if harry dies, or does he live and they get married, happily ever after and all that junk, like other fairy stories? it would be a bit disappointing...

Good postings! Is it really so difficult to change a view from "my best friend's little sister" to "my girlfriend"? Some people said "Yes". Some said "No". Which one is the majority?
I hope Jo has mercy to Ginny. She has been waiting for her man for 6 years and then sees him die? It would be too cruel, right?

I'm not sure if its difficult lol..but..theres also the factor of Ron..I mean would you want to date Ginny in Harry's situation after you saw how Ron feels about her boyfriends..I think that although Ron isn't exactly happy with Ginnys dating he would at least prefer it to be someone he knows and trusts..not that he didn't trust Dean but..I mean who is better than harry? Ron and he are like brothers..I think that he knows that Harry will want whats best for Ginny and will respect her. That I think puts Ron at ease..ok to get back on topic..I think that Ron is the reason that Harry seemed so aprensive..or it took him awhile to date her. Maybe it was weird for him..you know..your best friends sister? (well Rons practically his brother) but still. I also hope that Jo is kind to both Harry and Ginny's fates..She has waited 6 years for a chance with him..it would be horribly sad to see her dead or harry dead..knowing that they didnt have much time together.. also i think that they are too young to die..I mean they have their whole lives to live!
Courtney

I agree the idea of them dying when they have their have their whole lives a head of them is very sad, and I honestly think that R/Hr is a bit more like James and Lily. And ILoveHarryPotter07, I agree with your ramblings about Ron's attiude toward H/G, I think that now that they've been together, Ron also knows that the two of them has never been as happy as when they're with eachother. Ron is the first person who I think Harry really loved, in a family way. And I think Ron knows that. Hermione was meant to challenge Harry's every move, Ron was meant to support him.

I see your point with both the Ron and Hermione Lily James thing..I also think that your right about the family. I still kinda think that weather we want it to happen or not some or most of the main charactors will die. But I really want Harry and Ginny to survive..even though I think that one of them will die.
Courtney

I also think that characters will die, but I have differnt ideas on that. I just can't wait I want the book to be infornt of me right now! I can't wait for the wedding stuff, I think that something will happen, because I think that they'll have a chance to miss eachother, so when they see eachother again, tension, tension, tension!

Well one thing that I am confident on is that Ginny will not die. She will not. JKRowling is not that mean. Harry deserves atleast this happiness. I want them to get married. Absolutely. And I will cry if they don't because Harry has had to come through all this evil, and he deserves just that small thing of love. And if it doesn't happen *evil eyes* JK better watch herself.
