Why is ginny weasley so ugly

Even in the speech department she gets pwnt. Joined: Aug 22, Messages: 1, Jul 13, If I were the director for HBP It'd be totally worth being sued. Fuck, even her voice sucks. I watched half of it with my hand covering the left part. In other news. Her head is square. I had a good chuckle when my friend mentioned to me, randomly, the other day "christ the girl who plays Ginny in the HP films is butt-ugly".

Everyone agrees. EDIT: In the second interview that bloke does, the bloke who plays Neville looks hilariously different from his character. Stubble and manly jackets.

Why even look at Ginny- who is actually a man, as her parents wanted a girl so much they just magically changed their seventh son- when there is cute, soft-spoken Lynch right next to her?

Well, it's not the movie people's fault. Up until around the time HBP came out, they thought that JK had common sense and was going to hook Hermione up with Harry with the lack of other developed females until that point, but then she pulled HBP literally out of her ass and the directors are left with ugly Bonnie Wright and a hot Emma Watson, and this is where we end up, with Bonnie Wright in never enough make up and them failing to make Hermione look ugly again.

They planned it according to JKR's continued competence. This should be no surprise. Joined: Aug 28, Messages: Location: China. I wonder if Molly Weasley didn't cheat on Arthur with a troll, or some other ugly half-breed because there's no way something like that can be fully human.

Show Ignored Content. What about a Harry that gets with Luna, who teaches him to persevere through the hatred of the Wizarding world with her strange quirks? What about Gabrielle or Fleur, forming a connection in the French ministry or the Veela colonies to help the fight against the Death eaters, and giv him some self confidence and a center.

I actually loved Harry Potter, but in my opinion, that relationship, and multitudes of others, ruined the final books for me, so to be honest, I just forget that such a stupid, crap relationship like Hinny Ugly ship name too ever existed. I agree wit you. I hate Ginny Weasley. I used to like her character till the 6th book. You pretty much summed up all of my opinions on her. Great article. Very well written. I agree. With all of it. You wrote that down very well. I really hate seeing her name in books.

I never liked Ginny when I read how horrible she was to Fleur inwardly she was just so jealous of Fleur and then when Hermione said to harry and ron how Ginny has told her all about Luna and from the sound of it Ginny really bad mouthed Luna and made fun of her ….

Then for the fact how she was moving from one boy to another , and a lot of things …. Hate Ginny!!! Loathe character ginny- no flaws! Thank you so much for writing this!!

I kind of felt sorry for Ginny the first couple of books and then the Order of the Phoenix and the Half Blood Prince happened. She became this, in my opinion, annoying person. Very good piece, and I agree with you on several points. Ginny comes across as this ultra perfect girl who can do no wrong, and it does seem like JK does try too hard to justify her actions being rude about Fleur etc etc.

I would! So Harry should at least have someone who is like him yet different in many aspects. No offense to any other Weasley family members. Personally I am a Hinny shipper , but you obviously have your own opinion, which I respect. No, Ginny was on the Holyhead Harpies quidditch team, and became a reporter after that. In no way would she be the type to stay at home, knit, and gossip all the time.

She wants a bit of action in her life, yet also wants to have the time to take care of her children. But as I said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Are you referring to me? Okay, I know this was written a while ago as well as the comments but I need to respond with a rant to get this off my mind. You could say I like her I guess I have a soft spot for main characters and their canon pairings… most of the time.

I agree, her humor is typically at the expense of others bitch-trait, yes, but likely also the result of being raised in a poor family with six older brothers, one of which is a stuck-up prick, and two are prankster which have fun at the expense of others purely by definition.. I also agree that sixth year we were just… blindsided. Like we turned a corner and suddenly BAM, a big load of Ginny is being shoved down our throats.

She dated two boys before Harry… in seven years at Hogwarts, she had three boyfriends? One of which she ended up marrying which, in the way it was told, implies that he was not only just her third but her FINAL boyfriend ever as well? Give me a break. This is in regard to the comments, not sure if you said that or not. Cho Chang wanted closure. Her reasons for going out with Harry were not because she liked him, or at least that was far from the MAIN reason.

Oh yeah, sobbing girl that wants Harry — the brash Gryfindor that likes to take charge and keep others from getting hurt — on a leash. But yeah, even if Ginny decided to screw around Hogwarts and have a harem of her own, good for her.

My problem is her sense of self-entitlement, her arrogance, and especially how she can get so damned violent so easily. I wish Rowling would have rewrite this subject. I had no problems with Ginny dating other guys before Harry. She was a red-blooded adolescent girl. Kudos to her for having a series of healthy romances. I never understood why Rowling thought readers would find her bad temper, bullying especially toward Ron , ill use of magic with no repercussions and possessiveness toward anyone who orbited near Harry attractive.

I also regard the movie Ginny played by Bonnie Wright with indifference. I even liked Ginny in Chamber of Secrets- she tried to tell Harry and her brother about the chambers. She loves cats. A young woman was standing in the doorway, a woman of such breathtaking beauty that the room seemed to have become strangely airless.

She was tall and willowy with long blonde hair and appeared to emanate a faint, silvery glow. To complete this vision of perfection, she was carrying a heavily laden breakfast tray. As she swept over the threshold toward him, Mrs. Weasley was revealed, bobbing along in her wake, looking rather cross. You remember my seester, Gabrielle? She will be delighted to see you again. Her great blue eyes widened and she looked reproachfully at Mrs. Fleur turned back to Harry, swinging her silvery sheet of hair so fast that it whipped Mrs.

Weasley across the face. He could not help noticing how Mrs. With these words she turned gracefully and seemed to float out of the room, closing the door quietly behind her. No where here is Fleur intentionally rude: she is very sweet to Harry, genuinely pleased to see him. Examples of this can be found She swung her long red hair around in a very good imitation of Fleur and pranced across the room with her arms held aloft like a ballerina.

How are we supposed to like Ginny when we see various examples of her being a-well, you know-a female dog? Everyone loves Ginny. I get it. Basically, as one user has already stated, she was shoved down our throats.

I agree that we are mostly told of her personality, and not shown. It really is the downfall of the character. I really have to disagree with you! She grew up in a family of Veela descendants — she is perfectly aware of how her inherited beauty effects especially males, and she exploits it by doing stuff like making these totally degrading, but well hidden offences towards Ginny. Oh, she is so cute and childish she would look great next to my nearly-a-toddler sister.

Such a shame! You have to replay the sentences in your head to actually discover the offences, but at the same time you just instinctively know this person is not for your best. It would be a great way to take down someone less strong than Ginny, but Ginny is alert enough to bounce back.

If you reconsider this I really think you would see what I mean! For the same reason I went into an enthusiastic comment thread about Rachel Green.

Fleur reminds me so much of her! They are both above average pretty, which makes them enchanting, which again makes them very powerful! So saying that Fleur is not intentionally rude is simply wrong in my opinion. So, I know this thread was not meant to be about Fleur at all, but since I fully agree with almost everything said here about Ginny I chose to make a comment on what I thought I had something new to say about.

Some peoples whose English abilities are not such great would definitely have troubles in communicating their minds out. What do you call defending your best friend from a group of friends who called her Loony but then called her Loony yourself?

Does Fleur even know that Ginny had a crush on Harry? Love your post! She was constantly after boys attention and the romance between her and Harry felt very abrupt? In the movie she was pretty forgettable and did not stand out to me. I agree, the actress looks a lot better in person and more Ginny-like than in the movies. Love the books, but the romances were just generally lacking.

The only romance I particularly enjoyed was probably between Lupin and Tonks, but that was only a glimpse of it in less than a chapter of the whole series. Ginny Wesley did not date Corner and Thomas because she was trying to make Harry jealous, she was trying to get over Harry when she realized she did not have a chance.

When she snapped at Hermione, it is called puberty. She was 14 at the time,and yeah I know that is not an excuse but it is not like she was mean all along, she was fine in the Chamber of Secrets.

Although, well, it requires you to date around 2 boys and break their hearts not long after if that makes you happy enough. So what are we supposed to call this? It was even set up before Ginny said something, that Hermione was harping on about it for an annoyingly long amount of time, and wanted Harry to admit she was right about it.

Both Harry and Ron told her to knock it off, but she kept going, so Ginny stepped in. She has known Harry for years, she freaking risked her life to help him in the DOM, and actively rebelled with him against the Ministry. Hermione then tried to use Quidditch being cancelled as a reason why Ginny should be siding with her, not Harry.

Ginny told Hermione about herself for that one. Yeah, just because Hermione helped Ginny, does not mean they can never have arguments. Hermione did too. Stop being so hypocritical. And no, Ginny was reacting realistically. What more crap shall we find in the next posts. Deal with it. Ginny dating two boys in two years? Have you ever looked around yourself in life? How sad. So what was Ginny meant to do, not date at all if Harry rejected her forever?

And yes she did like them. We know that he was rude, aggressive, intrusive, disregarding of other people and their feelings, as shown by his demanding of Harry to tell everyone of his experience at the graveyard in GoF. She was attacked, as well as her friends, her life was in danger, they were almost murdered, Sirius was murdered, and to add to that, Voldemort was there, who had possessed her in her first year. Smith kept asking Ginny, harassing her. He kept asking Ginny until she lost her temper and hexed him.

Also consider the fact that Smith is not the most reliable DA member and that the battle can also be considered a question of national security. How does that do for your crap argument?

Certainly not more aggressive than Hermione, who literally physically attacks Ron because he is going out with Lavander. Or are you just talking nonsense?

The latter seems more likely. Yes, Ginny may have been jealous, but Ginny was right for thinking the worst of Cho in that moment, especially because it does seem suspicious that Cho would want to accompany Harry, especially considering the way things ended between them. But Ginny did indeed have good reason for proposing that Luna accompany Harry to the Tower. She fought in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. She fought in the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.

Luna is a grizzled veteran and Cho is a green rookie. The love of your life is going into a situation where a single misstep, a single mistake, and his life could be over. Now who would you choose. Cho, who might crumble under the pressure of the situation, or Luna, who was cool as ice. Ginny is a great person who has flaws, like we all do.

How do you know that they loved her? Look, stuff happens. She never cheated on them or anything. To someone who he had been meeting oftenly for 5 years and for 5 years also never spoke nearly a word to her and never shown any interest to her?

Yes, it is natural for Harry to be attracted to someone with whom he had spent summers and Christmasses and school years with. Also, that is nonsense, he started paying more attention to her in Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. Look, in short your arguments are weak, and what you wrote tells me more about your character: your hypocrisy, your egoism, your bigheadedness, for example, than it does about Ginny. These were just failed attempts to attack her.

Ginny Weasly is deffinatley my favorite character in the Harry Potter series. I enjoy watching book Ginny mature and I believe that you hit the nail on the head about why she seems so abrupt when she grows up.

Young Ginny is a cute, young girl with a funny unique personality. She begins with shyness that fades away as she gets to know Harry which is so true to real life that I cannot even explain it. Then in Chamber of secrets she is a vulnerable and likeable girl.

She is shown as scared since she is only 11 and unsure of how to deal with the terrifying world that was forced upon her. If you believe that this is not how an eleven year old girl would behave actually it may be better than most then you have not met one.

Also this is emphasized as Harry begins to develop feelings for her because his jealous causes him to dwell on her flirtations with other boys. Ginny is a tom boy so her sense of humor reflects this. Ron says something vulgar everyone laughs and thinks he is just be outspoken clumsy Ron, but Ginny makes a few JOKES and she Is rude despite being raised in the same home with the standards as her brother.

Personally I find Ginny hilarious and think that she is a great match for Harry because she is such a bright spunky vharacter while henis a blander codependent type who needs someone like her to help him out. Your interpretation made me smile. Sporty teenager? Active dating life? The fact that she dated guys who really loved her but then broke up with them simply because: 1 one was a sore loser and she got bored.

Natural for Harry to be attracted to her? That being said, I find your post well-written and insightful. As much as I tried, I could not find anything untruthful about what was written. One thing I must say, is that the pitfall, in my opinion, was that JKR did push it too far.

Incidentally, when reading Fanfiction, I prefer fifth or maybe sixth year as the branching off point from canon. I once read a similar analysis on the topic from the opposite viewpoint someone who thought it was not as sudden as most people say. In said essay, they showed how often, Harry notices Ginny even if she should seemingly be insignificant to the scene. When the scene is described to include Ginny, it is because Harry has noticed her. Early on this serves as a subtle way to let the audience know that there is something more to the character.

So therefore, to many readers it was sudden; the hints that JKR planted were too subtle. The time to change the relationship between Harry and Ginny was at some point in the fourth book, or early in the fifth. Harry on the whole is a very insular character. Most of his interactions are with Hermione and Ron. We see very few of his interactions with others in comparison. Most the time, other characters are merely scene dressing; this is what Ginny had amounted to by the time that the fifth book came about.

She failed, mostly because the DA was mostly an ensemble group. We see very few personal relationships form; it concentrates either on Harry helping out the group as a whole, or his asinine relationship with Cho Chang. JKR therefore lumped Ginny in with the other DA members, when she might have been able to use this time to develop the character more in depth.

Stumbled upon your blog just a few minutes ago, and I must say, excellent observation. And also, there is a scene in the order of the phoenix that none of the comments mentioned chapter:the order of the phoenix. And also in that chapter- Ginny did not go quietly.

When the books started off, she was this shy little girl completely fangirling over the famous Harry Potter. Add to that the fact that Harry saved her life in her very first year. Consider this… 1 Harry, the most popular guy in school falls for the sweet shy little junior, or 2 Harry, the most popular guy falls for the most popular and one-of-the-prettiest girl in school… which is more believable?

And she was always quite badass… remember how she stood up to Draco in COS? Excelling at Quidditch only made her more confident. But, Harry started to see her in different light, precisely because of this change in her. He is a teenager and a Mr. But how that relationship turned into marriage is beyond me. Remember how Ron always teases Hermione for her nerdiness. To her, Hermione is not the heroine like to us readers. It only makes her character more believable as a typical cool girl of school.

And the popular kids are always a little haughty being best friends with one, i can guarantee that. But if you can look past that, you might be surprised to find an amazing girl in some rare cases… and I like to think of Ginny as one such example.

Which makes Harry love her. That being said, I do agree that not enough time was given in OOP to show a gradual closeness between the two and make the later attraction seem more believable. Also, I like Bonnie Wright, but I feel she was not given enough opportunity on screen to portray the character perfectly.

I believe she had potential to do better. In my head Book Ginny is cooler than film Ginny. Those two are not suited for each. But I do not like Ginny Weasley. I disliked the way Rowling had put her on a pedestal. I disliked the way she had allowed Ginny to indulge in her vindictive nature without any consequences. Umbridge is a character designed to be hated. This article sums up pretty much everything about her that I dislike, I would have enjoyed getting to know her character better instead of having her being immediately set up with Harry.

How is Ginny being upset about not going to the Yule ball with Harry annoying? She could have just dumped neville and went to the dance with dance with Harry. Ginny does have flaws and your right she is mean to Fleur because she pretty and she is jealous that Harry like her just like Hermione hates her too. Once Fleur has proven herself that she really does love Bill she stops calling her names. Relationships progress overtime. When Ron and Harry first met Hermione they did not like her but later after they worked together they became friends and as they became closer they became a family.

Samething happened with Harry and Ginny she got over being shy around him she showed her personality and they became friends and then they became more then friends. The books never showed us the progress from Harry and Ginny being friends.

HAVE I? Ginny liked him and was obsessed of him even before she met him, and she was literally attracted to him all her life simply because of his status as The Chosen One and the Boy-Who-Lived.

Nothing more, nothing less. Especially given that she sticks up for him in the train in OotP when he puts himself down. That happened.

Have you ever even read the books properly? In each of the books, the dynamic of their relationship changes. Your statement is absolutely unfounded. Please reread the books. You really are dumber than a sack of hammers. Because the progress from them being friends is quite literally there. I completely agree with you, Amy Rae. I cannot even express how good it feels to have my feelings validated by your writing.

First of all, my dislike of Ginny stems from her being a despicable person; second of all, the people who say this are invariably talking about my dislike of her dating habits. I like to think that I am more perceptive than that. And I am supposed to look up to this girl— excuse me, this bitch. The final straw for me was when she was rude to Hermione in Half-blood Prince about Quidditch. I was trying so hard to like her, but that was it for me. It was going too far to insult the true feminist hero of the series and then expect me to admire that.

The Harry Potter series is a genius series, I really believe that, but I agree with one of the previous commenters that the end-game romances were not well-written. I think Ron and Hermione truly loved each other, but ultimately there was too much fire and fire there, albeit different kinds, for that to be a happy partnership. Also they had Emma Watson. Harry first saw Cho on the Quidditch field, thought she was pretty, and developed a crush.

Yes, because Ginny should have totally just rolled over and let Hermione continue on with her tirade, right? So glad you see the feminist issue the same way! Unfortunately this was not the case when Ginny Weasley was written. That double standard is rife in how we perceive career women, women in the entertainment industry, and even fictional characters. Sadly, I do not think Ginny is in the same league as these women. She could have done better on creating a more dimensional Ginny.

There are a plethora of good examples of strong and weak women and men. I agree that Sansa is completely underrated as a character bc she is different from Arya, who displays the typical signs of strength. Like, no way, she totally is. I also love Brienne, who is very skilled at physical combat, who is loyal and dedicated, who has real pain in her past and keeps on fighting for what she believes is right, even when no one believes her. Where was I going with this? But back to Daenerys.

I can get on board with both of these points somewhat. As for her storyline, yes, even I have felt frustration at that, but it very much mirrors reality. It takes years upon years for change to be affected in real life. If it were true that everything we see of Ginny is what Harry perceives her as, wow, that is even worse for her character bc Harry sees her as a near-sociopathic, mean, rude, childish bully, which is just scary for her character and his.

Why would our hero choose someone like that? I have to believe that what we see in the book is how Ginny really is, and that Harry is just blinded by lust. Thanks for reading my thoughts. You've hit every nail perfectly on the head for me. Sansa is actually my favourite character on GoT, and it's taken me a long time to even warm to Arya. I really resent when people outright HATE Sansa, even if they're holding her very early behavior against her, when it is not longer applicable ie.

And what so many people refuse to acknowledge is the inner strength it has taken her to survive in this world. Let's stop and remember, she was forced to marry are sociopathic little shit who then forced her to look at her father's severed head. Like, there is a serious and quiet strength to that girl, and she has the sort of qualities I'd expect from a future queen. But when he cheats on her, she is left apartment less and lonely.

Her only option is to move in with Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. What will happen when she starts to fall for them at the same time? It was a pretty Saturday in London, and she never expected such a beautiful day like this would end up so ugly. He adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose as his new wife, Ginny Weasley came back into their living room and handed Hermione a cup of tea.

It had been 6 years since the battle at Hogwarts, 6 years since Voldemort was gone. And 6 years since Hermione and Ron started dating. Our kids' names, the wedding. I hoped I don't even know the girl. I don't She was inconsolable. Ginny rubbed her friend's shoulders lightly and Harry tried to tell some poorly timed jokes that did anything but brighten her sullen mood.

I can't put myself through that torture every day! She had packed her things last night when he had told her he had been cheating on her for a few months. Her bags were waiting and ready to go, but she didn't have enough money saved to put anything down on an apartment so soon. She just hadn't expected it. She shrugged noncommitedly. Hermione caught their look.

No no no.
