Ginny Weasley

Did anyone else notice how much time JK spent developing Ginny's character in OotP? And that look Ron gave Harry at the end when he told Ginny to fnd someone better....this could be interesting.

Ginny is great, i can't believe how sassy and confident she is now! You're right, she's definitly undergone some serious character development.

I laughed out loud when it was revealed she had a boyfriend and she was seeker.

I'm still not sure about Harry/Ginny though...

I loved how she brought Ginny out more in this book. She had a boyfriend! I was so surprised...and she got the seeker position, which is very hard. So I liked that.

Yes, I do belive Ginny did alot to show Harry that he deep down might like her.?????? They would make a cute couple! Ginny was the seeker after harry got banned. Andhe said that bit at the end of OoTP I would like for the to date it would be cool! But i really think Harry as figured out that ginny is A nice person and dosnt want to use him to talk about Cedric phewwe stupid Cho! Hermione and harry or Ginny and harry thats only ones i want together!

Harry better get un-banned, and soon! He and Ginny will be on the same team again...good times. What was up with her and Dean Thomas, though?!? She really gets areound quickly...and she's dating all guys who are older than her!

I always liked Ginny. I like her even more now that she is her own person.

She hisses like a cat, she calls Harry on his b.s. She idolizes Tonks! She emmulates the twins. She catches snitches. She has a batwing bogey hex that'll make you think twice about messing with her! She eats chocloate in the library.

The girl is awesome. She might be a little too good for Harry.

Naw.

JKR did a 360 on Ginny and I hated that. It was soo contrived - all of a sudden Ginny became this super cool and tough character. Oh and wow, she's also good at hexing, stole brooms from fred and george and we find all these about her from other people! It's as if JKR had realized how much she'd neglected Ginny and she's trying to make up by dumping information on us in one book. Sorry, didn't work for me. It was completely unconvincing. I didnt care for Ginny, now I hate her.

I loved it! Ginny and Neville both rocked out in this book!

I would love to see the two of them end up together!

Did you used to be a Cho fan, or something? ;D

There was never anything wrong with Ginny in the first place. The books are all from Harry's perspective, and everyone was always saying how weird Ginny acted around him. She probably just got used to having him around. There a big difference in the maturity levels of an 11-year old and a 14-year old. Besides, who here hasn't acted like a total idiot around someone they've liked? Sometimes you get so goofy, it's like you're a different person, and I think that's the point with Ginny.

I think it's unrealistic that she changed that much so quickly. It was quite clear, that J.K. would make her into that super-girl, even more popular and perfect than cho was. But it was a bit too much.

Harry and Ginny, I hope not, everything would become so "hollywood" like. I never liked Ginny, to be honest. First her admiration for Harry, just becaues he is famous and now she develops this gigantic ego: "should I have d.t. instead", as if she can have everyone.

But I think a lot of girls in here can identify with her, maybe because they're her age or something like that.....

"hollywood"? I always thought the Harry-Cho thing was like that...I really like Ginny now ever more....I mean, she kicks butt, shes obviously pretty, she plays quidditch, she doesnt act like a blubbering fool around Harry anymore, she makes complete sense...one question though...WHat was up with Luna Lovegood?

Ginny obviosly is made from the same stuff as Fred and George maybe not as potent though
She seems to have made a friend in Luna though doesnt she... abou time to, and she had a boyfriend... no two! if you count Dean Thomas and their in Rons year... wonder how Ron feels his little sister going out with his mates
Wonder what would happen if she went out with Harry!?

yeah, I think the fact that Ginny's going out with his friends irks him a bit...how would he feel if Ginny and Harry got together and he dumped her or something? man, that would seriously suck...

I don't think she changed at all. We never knew too much about Ginny, which left her open to be developed the way JK wanted. I think that's why I've liked Ginny, she's been open to interpretation. In the last three books I remember having almost no say in anything. To me it always seemed that she had a bit of an extroverted personality by the way the other Weasleys talked about her. I also enjoyed the relationship she had with Fred and George. I always assumed she was closer to Ron, but I guess not.
