wrote:The way I saw it, Ginny still liked Harry, but knew that she couldn't have him (until she does, of course). Ginny dated other boyfriends, not because she wanted to get Harry to notice her (he didn't even know about Michael until late into the relationship), but because she wanted to forget (to an extent) about her feelings for Harry. 

If she never gave up on him, she must have had some kind of faith she'd be with him.

wrote: She (probably) didn't dump them for trivial reasons, although it seems like it because she (or Hermione, anyway. I think that that's how the boys gets the news of the break-ups) described the reasons very dismissevely (sp.?). For example, when Ginny broke up with dean, all she said when Harry passed her in the portrait hole was, in a slightly annoyed manner, 'Dean, you don't have to push me, I can get through by myself'. The matter could have easily blown up into a shouting match, and the reason for the break up wouldn't have been just because Ginny thought Dean had pushed her.

How do you know they had just broken up? They could have broken up right after that incident. Ginny was just being her rude self, and the reason there wasn't a shouting match was because Dean didn't retort back to allow things to escalate.

wrote:And remember that Harry was under Felix's luck, so pretty much everything he did was going to turn out in his favour.

Yes, Ginny's rudeness was working in his favor.

wrote: And how do you know that she wasn't feeling anything over breaking up with them? It isn't in the books anywhere what she felt.

Harry would be watching her in the hallways and stuff when Ginny's not looking, like anybody else with a crush. If she was upset, Harry would have noticed.

wrote:Also, Dean wasn't dumped, it was an even split.

Really? Maybe my HBP memory is rusted...don't have the book with me. Could have sworn it said she dumped them...

wrote:Michael probably deserved it.

Maybe he did or maybe he didn't. Can't use him at all for arguing.

wrote:Your argument is totally biased 'cause you've decided to hate her.

Yes, I'm a little biased. But so are you, so meh. And I didn't 'decide' to hate her, I tried to find the likable side in her reading HBP two years ago...couldn't find it.

wrote:And, she was nice to Neville...Did she go to the ball with him?

That was back in book four when she was only mentioned in passing and before she had sudden instant popularity out of nowhere. (With no development whatsoever.)

And, back then, she couldn't get a date. She was probably too shy to ask any boys and boys probably didn't find her approachable then. Yes.

wrote:She was nice to her Pygmy Puff, too. That didn't get her anywhere...

As much as I hate Ginny, I really can't see her as the type to abuse animals anyway.

First, yeah Snape deserves to die! He killed Dumbledore, and it is his fault that James and Lilly were Killed!! And i've kinda hated his guts for a while now, so...

And second, Ginny isn't that bad. She is a little stuck up sometimes, bbut I've liked her character for a while now, so I can't just flip. And she'll probably grow out of it . . . eventually.

She said that she only went with Neville because she didn't reckon she'd be asked by anyone else.

It's not like JK Rowling would turn even Ginny into an animal abuser....

wrote:Oh, btw, by that logic, Hermione is also a User/Slut 'cause she used McLaggen to get back at Ron.

Yes, both Hermione and Ron are users.

But the reason we like them is because they have redeeming sides. They selfless have helped Harry for six....almost seven years. They've faced evil bravely.

Hermione is always willing to help people with their school work, especially Neville. She also isn't a super instant popular girl and does something useful with her time, studying, instead of instantly being oh-so-gifted.

Ron, on the other hand, is determined to work with Quidditch, to become greater. And he's always been loyal to Harry and his family. He also is quite human.....and is mildly intelligent, not automatically perfectly gifted.

Neither is Ginny. Is she really that popular? Does she actually have any friends? Like, who are girls?

wrote:First, yeah Snape deserves to die! He killed Dumbledore, and it is his fault that James and Lilly were Killed!! And i've kinda hated his guts for a while now, so...

Well, maybe he and Dumbledore faked it. Don't ride with Harry, you know he jumps to fast conclusions. The only wizard Voldemort was afraid of can't be brought down by Snape, from a personality misjudgement.

I know there is a sentence in book six that outright said 'Ginny is also really popular' or some cabbage like that. (Haven't read the book in forever, otherwise I'd give you the exact quote and page number.)

harry says he thinks she's too popular for her own good.
that doesn't specify how popular she actually is.
we don't see her with friends that often.

But only because we see the story through Harry's eyes. And we don't see him with a lot of friends besides the Golden Trio, they pretty much stick together.

Has anyone seen the new trailer for the fifth movie? (Off topic I know, stay with me) in ever flooping 'ecking trailer there is a part where Hermione is hugging/touching Harry. It's like the trailer people and directors want Harry/Hermione.

Undoubtedly they do. Then they could pretend it's a classic movie and get lots of awards.

NOT THAT I'M POINTING ANY FINGERS! AT CERTAIN AUTHORS!

*cough, cough*

Yeah, but the 7th book is nearing it's release date.

If you're talking about my subtle hint towards certain authors, I wasn't reffering to J.K. Rowling.

Its, Apo. Possessive doesn't have an apostrophe. It's is a contraction for it is.

I'm going to the movie, no matter how crappy it's probably going to be.

Is it supposed to be crappy?
I haven't read any reviews, but I have a bit of a fondness for the Harry Potter movies.
Harry and Hermione don't touch each other in the OotP trailer. I checked.

There's going to be too much cut out of the movie, it's a huge book and the screentime is about only 2 hours I think.

I heard it really "captured the spirit of the book" although there wasn't enough CAPSLOCKHARRY- angst.

Edit: I have to post this: Unscripted Interview Cutest interview ever!

Wait, the interview on last night? On that show...what's it called?

He looked kinda...I dunno...stiff...

Oh, you're not. sorry. I'm confused. You guys always confuse me.

He was on Conan last night . . . Radcliff, I mean . . . is that what you're talking about?? :blink:

Yeah they do. And they add a part at the end where Harry flashes back to Hermione hugging him.

Edit: How dare you not know the name Conana O' Brien! And the book is coming out really soon.

I'm sorry! I watch the movies, but I'm really only a fan for the books.

Yes, it does. Ginny was hanging out with her friends instead of Harry on the train in HBP and some other areas.



And as for Dumbledore faking his death, JKR said he was dead.
