"Well, no, not really, because the plan was, which I really hope I fulfilled, is that the reader, like Harry, would gradually discover Ginny as pretty much the ideal girl for Harry. She's tough, not in an unpleasant way, but she's gutsy. He needs to be with someone who can stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he's a scary boyfriend in a lot of ways. He's a marked man. I think she's funny, and I think that she's very warm and compassionate. These are all things that Harry requires in his ideal woman."

Also:wrote:Full Name, including titles: Ginevra Ginny Molly Weasley
Full Species(es): Human/Witch
Hair Colour (include adjectives): Long red hair
Eye Colour: Bright brown
Unusual Markings/Colourations: None
Special Possessions/Pets: She gets a miniature Puffskin called Arnold in HBP, which she carries around everywhere and which disappears halfway through the story. She also has a broomstick, which she got from God knows where to play Quidditch with. Nothing is said where she acquired it, Im guessing the same place she got her new personality from.
Annoying Sidekicks: Well, once she and Harry become a couple (and even before), he kinda becomes her sidekick, who adores her mindlessly, not seeing any of her bitchy behaviour as what it is. But then, nobody does.
Annoying Origin: Is the only Weasley girl in seven generations and the seventh child of a seventh son. Daughter of Arthur and Molly, sister to Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George and Ron.
Annoying Way of Ruining the Story: Starting in OotP and become worse in HBP, Ginny has become the ultimate all tell, but no show character. Also, she became incredibly mean spirited in the sixth book. Hexing Zacharias for asking question when last year nobody should believe what the Daily Prophet has written, but now everyone should just mindlessly believe what they hear without asking questions. Later she crashes into him on purpose after the match because she didnt like his commentary, which wasnt any worse then what Lee Jordan said. Trips Ron to humiliate him in front of Fleur, who she has bestowed with the childish nickname of Phlegm. Later yells at him and humiliates him in front of his friend. Rips on Hermione for not being a Quidditch fan and tells Ron that she and Viktor snogged, something that Hermione probably told Ginny confidently. Tells Harry that the Sectusempra curse was a good one, even though Harry almost killed someone. Basically, she tries to be the third twin and fails miserably at it.
All these things would not be as bad if not everyone would go on about how great Ginny is and never calling on her for her behaviour. Hexing Zacharias gets her a place in the Slug Club, crashing into him doesnt get her detention from McGonagall. Neither Ron or Hermione can successfully rebuke her when she yells at them and neither of them seems to stay angry at her, which they would easily do with each other. Harry finds her insults about Fleur funny. Sorry, but this one of the ultimate Sue qualities, acting like a bitch but everyone loves her regardless. Heck, everyone who reads pottersues knows about the Bitchiwitch house, so Ginny would definitely belong in there.
Annoying Special Abilities: Is such a good Quidditch player that she is better than Chaser Katie Bell who has been on the team for six years now. Also can play as Seeker almost as good as Harry, never lost to anyone. Appears to be the heart and soul of the team for reasons unknown. She is also supposedly a very powerful witch because of the seventh child thing, but that was never mentioned in the books. We actually never witness her Bat Bogey Hex, which seems to be the only spell that she is capable of, seeing as she never uses a different one. Can act like a complete bitch to all, but still be popular and beloved by all and sundry. Is so pretty that a shop keeper, Harry, Blaise Zabini and even a Death Eater say so. Is Harrys source of comfort even though he never really tells her anything that goes on, nor does she ever comfort him about anything.
Miscellaneous Reasons The Sue Should Not Exist: She simply has no reason to exist in the books apart from being the reward for the hero and his future wife unit. She was important for the plot in CoS, but apart from that nothing Ginny does has anything to do with the plot, not even in OotP and HBP when she became a lot more prominent. She could have been removed without changing anything in the story.
Redeeming Qualities: Well, she isnt annoying in the first four books, to me at least. She was a normal, kinda shy girl, who had a crush on a famous guy that is also her brothers friend.
Small snippet of Sue Being Annoying:
That would be pretty much every time Ginny opened her mouth in the last two books or when she did something or when someone else talked about her and how great she is and how she has actually always been that way, but we just never got to see that. But if I had to pick one, I would say the ending of HBP and when she admitted that she never actually gave up on Harry. So, Michael and Dean were just there to make Harry notice her? How nice. She never really cared about them, thats why she could easily dump them without actually feeling anything over rather trivial things. Of course its her doing the dumping, after all Ginny is so perfect, why would anyone leave her?
