The [[House of Black|Black family tree]] establishes Cedrella as a first cousin once removed of both [[Orion Black|Orion]] and [[Walburga Black]], Sirius's parents. Thus, any children she had would be their second cousins, and second cousins once removed of their sons Sirius and Regulus. Also, almost all of Sirius's relatives can be seen on the Black family tree as both his parents were born into the House of Black, making it unlikely that he could be related to Arthur in a way not shown.

| − | '''Ginevra Molly "Ginny" Potter (née Weasley)''', born on [[August 11]], [[1981]], was a [[pure-blood]] [[Wizards|witch]], the youngest of [[Arthur Weasley|Arthur]] and [[Molly Weasley]]'s seven children, and the first female to be born into the [[Weasley family|Weasley line]] for several generations. She attended [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] from [[1992]] to [[1999]] and was sorted into [[Gryffindor]] house. During her first year, she was possessed by [[Tom Riddle]]'s [[Tom Riddle's Diary|sixteen-year-old self]] and was forced to re-open the [[Chamber of Secrets]], endangering the lives of many students, including her own. Since that ordeal, Ginny grew into a confident young woman, becoming an important member of [[Dumbledore's Army]], fighting in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]] in [[1996]], the [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower]] in [[1997]], and the [[Battle of Hogwarts]] in [[1998]]. She was also an accomplished [[Quidditch]] player, playing [[Chaser]] and [[Seeker]] at different times for the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team|Gryffindor House team]], and later playing professionally for the [[Holyhead Harpies]]. She married [[Harry Potter]] at some point [[between 1998 and 2017]], and they had three children: [[James Potter II|James Sirius]], [[Albus Potter|Albus Severus]], and [[Lily Potter|Lily Luna Potter]]. Upon retiring from the Harpies, Ginny became the senior Quidditch correspondent for the ''[[Daily Prophet]]''. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny was the last of [[seven]] children born to [[Arthur Weasley|Arthur]] and [[Molly Weasley]] (née [[Prewett family|Prewett]]), the first girl born into the Weasley family in a long time, and last for that generation. She was born shortly before the end of the [[First Wizarding War]], during which her maternal uncles [[Fabian and Gideon Prewett]] were killed. Ginny grew up with her parents and six brothers at [[the Burrow]] in [[Devon]], [[England]]; her room was on the third floor, overlooking the family's orchard and decorated with posters of [[Weird Sisters|The Weird Sisters]] and [[Gwenog Jones]].<ref name=DH>''[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''</ref> Despite the majority of her brothers being keen [[Quidditch]] players, she was not allowed to play with them when she was a child. When she was six, she began a habit of breaking into the family broom shed and taking each of their [[broomstick|brooms]] out in turn. She was never caught, and it only came to light eight years later.<ref name=OP>''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''</ref> Ginny had been looking forward to attending [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]] ever since her eldest brother, [[William Weasley|Bill]], started at the school.<ref name=CS>''[[Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | On [[September 1]], [[1991]], she accompanied her [[Molly Weasley|mother]] to [[King's Cross Station]] to see off her brothers as they departed for Hogwarts. Despite being too young to attend the school, she still begged her mother to let her go with them. While saying goodbye to her brothers, she found out that [[Harry Potter]] was on the train and tried to get her mother to let her go on the train to see him. As the train pulled out, she began to cry, despite her brothers promising to send her loads of [[owl]]s and a Hogwarts toilet seat. She ran along the platform after the train, half-laughing and half-crying, then stopped to wave them off.<ref name=PS>''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | When the [[Hogwarts Express]] returned to King's Cross in [[June]], [[1992]], Ginny was with her mother to welcome her brothers back and was again excited to see Harry, pointing him out to her mother as he came through the barrier between platforms nine and ten.<ref name=PS /> |

||
| − | After seeing Harry at King's Cross, Ginny developed a crush on him and talked about him all summer. When Harry arrived at the Burrow after being rescued from the [[Dursley family|Dursleys]] by [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], [[Fred and George Weasley|Fred, and George]], she became extremely shy in his presence. On their first meeting, she came down to breakfast to find him sitting at the table. Startled, she retreated back to her room and stared at Harry as he passed her bedroom on his way to Ron's. Ginny became extremely clumsy around Harry and had a habit of knocking things over when he entered a room. On the day their Hogwarts letters arrived, she knocked over a porridge bowl with a loud clatter and put her elbow in the butter dish when Harry asked her if she was starting at Hogwarts.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | {{Quote|You don't know how weird it is for her to be this shy, she never shuts up normally —|[[Ronald Weasley|Ron Weasley]] on his sister|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets}} |
||
| − | Ginny travelled to [[Diagon Alley]] with her family to buy her school supplies, and her excitement of finally going to Hogwarts was tempered by the fact that, due to the Weasleys' financial situation, she would have to make do with a lot of second hand products, including her robes and books. In [[Flourish and Blotts]], however, she became the owner of a brand new set of [[Gilderoy Lockhart]]'s collected works. Harry, having been given them by Lockhart as a publicity stunt, gave them to her since he could afford a set of his own. With this act of kindness and recognition, Ginny finally spoke in front of Harry, standing up to [[Draco Malfoy]] when he started to insult him. This resulted in him calling her Harry's girlfriend.<ref name=CS /> |

| − | |||
| − | Draco was with his father, [[Lucius Malfoy|Lucius]], and the elder Malfoy took the opportunity to insult the Weasley family for associating with the [[Muggle]] parents of [[Muggle-born]] witch [[Hermione Granger]] and — in his eyes — being a [[blood traitor|disgrace to wizards]]. During his tirade, he managed to slip [[Tom Riddle]]'s [[Tom Riddle's Diary|Diary]] into Ginny's battered second-hand copy of ''[[A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration]].''<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Ginny and diary.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Ginny writing in [[Tom Riddle]]'s [[Tom Riddle's Diary|Diary]].]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny started Hogwarts on September 1st, [[1992]] and was sorted into [[Gryffindor]], like all the Weasleys before her. She discovered Tom Riddle's diary in amongst her school things and began writing in it. To her amazement, the diary wrote back, and she started to confide in [[Tom Riddle]]'s memory, writing about how her brothers teased her, how she had to come to school with second-hand robes and books, and how she thought that Harry would never like her. She poured her heart out to the diary and told Tom's memory all about Harry's story. At least once, Ginny went down toward [[Rubeus Hagrid]]'s [[Rubeus Hagrid's hut|hut]], hoping to see Harry there. In confiding in the diary her deepest fears and secrets, Ginny became increasingly vulnerable to Tom Riddle’s memory, which began to pour a little of his own soul back into her and slowly started to possess her.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | By the start of October, the signs of the possession began to show on Ginny. She started to look peaky, but a spate of colds in the school covered up the true nature. Her brother [[Percy Weasley|Percy]] forced her to take [[Pepperup Potion]] to get her over it. By [[October 31]], the memory of Tom Riddle was able to take full control of Ginny and used her to open the [[Chamber of Secrets]], releasing the [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk|basilisk]], which then [[petrification|petrified]] [[Argus Filch]]'s cat, [[Mrs. Norris]].<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | [[File:Ginny opens the Chamber of Secrets.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ginny opens the [[Chamber of Secrets]].]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following the attack, Ginny seemed upset over Mrs. Norris, and her brothers put it down to the fact that she was a cat-lover. She opened the Chamber of Secrets another two times, resulting in the petrification of [[Colin Creevey]] and [[Justin Finch-Fletchley]]. She became more visibly upset, and again, her brothers put it down to other causes — she sat next to Colin in [[Charms (class)|Charms]], and that she was worried that [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] might be expelled if he got in trouble. Fred and George attempted to cheer her up, but went about it the wrong way by leaping out at her from behind statues covered in fur or boils.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{Quote|...I was patient. I wrote back. I was sympathetic, I was kind. Ginny simply ''loved'' me... ''No one's ever understood me like you, Tom... I'm so glad I've got this diary to confide in... It's like a friend I can carry around in my pocket...'' If I say it myself, Harry, I’ve always been able to charm the people I needed.|[[Tom Riddle]] to [[Harry Potter]] on his manipulation of Ginny|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny confided in the diary, however, that she thought she was going mad. She woke up with rooster feathers on her robes and could not remember where she had been on Halloween and when Colin was attacked. She started to think that she was attacking everyone.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Along with her brothers, Ginny remained at Hogwarts over Christmas instead of going to visit her brother Bill in Egypt with her parents. She had started to become suspicious of the diary and several weeks after Christmas attempted to get rid of it by throwing it down a toilet in [[Myrtle|Moaning Myrtle]]'s bathroom.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Free of the diary, Ginny sent Harry an anonymous Singing Valentine on [[February 14]], [[1993]]. He received it in front of her as she was going into a [[Charms (class)|Charms]] lesson when he was accosted by the [[dwarf]] assigned to deliver it. During the delivery, Harry's bag was torn and the contents were dropped onto the floor. To Ginny's horror, she saw that Harry now had the diary. To make matters worse, [[Draco Malfoy]] implied that she had sent Harry the Singing Valentine in front of everyone.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Fearful that Harry would discover her secrets and that she might be responsible for the attacks, she waited until the boy's dormitory was empty then ransacked Harry's belongings to recover the diary. Recovering it, Ginny was once more possessed by the memory of Tom Riddle and opened the Chamber again, this time petrifying [[Hermione Granger]] and [[Penelope Clearwater]].<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | [[File:Ginny down.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Ginny dying on the floor of the [[Chamber of Secrets]].]] |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny tried to tell Harry and Ron what was going on but could not get the words out, and she was interrupted by Percy. The memory of Tom Riddle was furious, however, as he had been planning on taking on Harry Potter himself after learning his story. Realising that Harry would come to save Ginny, he made her write a farewell on a corridor wall, then enter the [[Chamber of Secrets]] to die. She had poured so much of her life into the diary that she could not fight Tom's possession of her, and the last thing she remembered as she lay down on the floor of the Chamber was Tom coming out of the diary. The memory of Tom Riddle had fed off her, gaining enough strength to become corporeal. As Tom grew stronger, the life in Ginny faded away until she slipped into an unconscious state.<ref name=CS /> |

||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny awoke in the Chamber to find that Harry had saved her and destroyed Riddle's diary by piercing it with a basilisk fang, and Ginny's vitality was restored to her. Tearful and scared, Ginny revealed what had happened to Harry and was sure she was going to be expelled from school. After leaving the Chamber with the aid of the [[phoenix]], [[Fawkes]], Ginny was reunited with her parents in [[Minerva McGonagall|McGonagall]]'s [[Minerva McGonagall's office|office]]. Despite her fears, Dumbledore did not place the blame onto her, saying that older and wiser wizards had been duped by [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]], and sent her to the hospital wing to recover from her ordeal with a mug of hot chocolate.<ref name=CS /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Following her ordeal, Ginny returned to normal and was happy and relaxed for the rest of the summer term. At the end of the school year, she travelled back to King's Cross with her brothers, Harry, and Hermione on the Hogwarts Express, playing [[Exploding Snap]].<ref name=CS /> |

She was even more embarrassed in front of him than usual, muttering a hello but not looking at him. The next day, on Platform 9¾, she did meet his eyes as they shared a laugh over Percy's behaviour when trying to impress his girlfriend.<ref name=PA /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the Hogwarts Express, Ginny was separated from her brothers until the train stopped because of the [[Dementor]]s. In the dark, she found her way into the compartment containing Harry, [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]], [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], and [[Remus Lupin|Professor Lupin]]. When the Dementors came to the compartment, Ginny was one of the worst affected by them as she had those horrible experiences with Tom Riddle's diary. She went very pale and shook like mad, eventually sobbing and having to be comforted by Hermione.<ref name=PA /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later in the year, after Harry fell from his broomstick in a [[Quidditch]] match during a storm, Ginny visited him in the [[hospital wing]]. She had made him a get well card that sang shrilly when opened and presented it to him while blushing furiously.<ref name=PA /> |

Ginny was the only one that Hermione confided in when [[Viktor Krum]] asked her to the [[Yule Ball]]. As a third year, Ginny was not allowed to attend the ball unless asked by an older student. [[Neville Longbottom]] asked her to go after Hermione turned him down, having already accepted Viktor, and Ginny accepted since she was friends with him, and it was a good opportunity. She comforted her brother, Ron, when he asked [[Fleur Delacour]] to the ball while under the influence of her [[Half-Veela|part]]-[[Veela]] heritage.<ref name=GF /> |

As a result, the family was relocated to the Order's headquarters at [[12 Grimmauld Place|12]] [[Grimmauld Place]] that summer. Ginny stayed at headquarters, sharing a room with Hermione, and helped her mother to clean the place to make it a suitable base of operations. She learned the truth about [[Sirius Black]] and met [[Nymphadora Tonks]], who acted like a big sister towards her and Hermione. When Harry arrived at Number 12, Ginny was pleased to see Harry, and, due to her taking Hermione's advice and her relationship with [[Michael Corner]], was relaxed and composed in his presence, showing none of the embarrassment and shyness towards him that she had shown during previous meetings.<ref name=OP /> |

| − | Toward the end of the fall of 1995, Harry, along with Fred and George, received a life-long Quidditch ban from Umbridge for attacking [[Draco Malfoy]] after their game against [[Slytherin]] (although their bans were lifted right after Umbridge was removed from Hogwarts). Ginny tried out for the team and became the new [[Seeker]], although she admitted that Harry was better than her, and that she preferred playing [[Chaser]] and scoring goals.<ref name=OP /> |

| − | What should have been a happy time for Ginny was marred by the [[Attack on Arthur Weasley|attack]] on her [[Arthur Weasley|father]] by [[Nagini]] just prior to Christmas. Along with her brothers and Harry, she was instantly sent to 12 Grimmauld Place to await news. Relieved to find out he was all right, Ginny saw him the next day in [[St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries]] and hugged him immediately. Following the visit, she noticed that Harry started to distance himself from everyone, refusing to speak to anyone in the house. After Hermione skipped a skiing trip with her [[Hermione Granger's parents|parents]] to come to the house, she talked Harry out of hiding in Buckbeak's room, leading him to Ginny and Ron. Learning that Harry had convinced himself that he had been possessed by [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] and attacked her father, Ginny railed on him for not seeking advice from the one person who had ''definitely'' been possessed by the Dark Lord. She quieted his fears by relaying her experiences to him and admitted that she had never truly gotten over it.<ref name=OP /> |

| − | Returning to Hogwarts after Christmas, Ginny played her first game for the Gryffindor House team against [[Hufflepuff]]. Despite losing the match, Ginny captured the [[Golden Snitch]], although she downplayed the achievement by saying it was not a fast Snitch and that the opposing Seeker, [[Summerby]], had a cold. Probably as a result of her being more confident and relaxed in front of Harry, her willingness to stand up to him, and their shared experiences of being a Seeker, Harry and Ginny grew closer. Around Easter, he confided in her that he needed to speak to [[Sirius Black|Sirius]], and she encouraged him to; she then went to Fred and George, and asked them to find a way for Harry to do so.<ref name=OP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In May, Ginny played her second game of Quidditch for the Gryffindor team against [[Ravenclaw]]. She managed to capture the Golden Snitch, beating [[Cho Chang]] and securing the [[Quidditch Cup]] for Gryffindor. In the aftermath of the victory, [[Michael Corner|Michael]] became very moody and sulked about the result. Because of his attitude, Ginny dumped him shortly after the match.<ref name=OP /> |

| − | When Harry had a vision of [[Sirius Black|Sirius]] being tortured in the [[Department of Mysteries]] by [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]] in June, he informed Ron and Hermione. The latter convinced Harry to check to see if Sirius was at [[12 Grimmauld Place]] before rushing off to rescue him, and Ginny and Luna came to their assistance. With Harry and Hermione breaking into Umbridge's office, and Ron distracting her with news that [[Peeves]] was wreaking havoc, Ginny and Luna stopped people from entering the corridor leading to the office by saying that someone had flooded it with [[Garrotting Gas]]. Unfortunately for them, Umbridge saw through their ruse since she knew of Peeves's true location and ordered the [[Inquisitorial Squad]] to round them up. Ginny was captured by [[C. Warrington|Warrington]], and when Neville saw what was happening and tried to help, he was caught as well.<ref name=OP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | When Umbridge threatened to use the [[Cruciatus Curse|Cruciatus]] [[Curse]] on Harry to make him tell her what he was doing, Hermione faked a breakdown and told a lie about a weapon that [[Albus Dumbledore]] had told them to make. She and Harry lured Umbridge into the [[Forbidden Forest]], leaving Ginny, Ron, Luna, and Neville alone with the Inquisitorial Squad. They managed to break free using skills that they had acquired in their D.A. sessions; Ginny hit [[Draco Malfoy]] with the [[Bat-Bogey Hex]]. They then regrouped with Harry and Hermione, who had left Umbridge with a group of enraged [[Centaur]]s.<ref name=OP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Convinced that Sirius was in mortal danger, Harry resolved to travel to [[London]] and rescue him. Although Harry tried to prevent Ginny, Neville, and Luna from accompanying him, Ron, and Hermione, he was eventually persuaded otherwise. After flying [[Thestral]]s to London, they entered the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] using the visitor's entrance and headed for the Department of Mysteries. In the [[Hall of Prophecy|Hall of Prophecies]], they found no sign of Sirius, but Ron did find a [[The Prophecy|prophecy]] pertaining to Harry. As Harry removed it from the shelf, the group was surrounded by [[Death Eaters]] led by [[Lucius Malfoy]] and learned that Voldemort had used the connection between himself and Harry to lure him there to remove the prophecy. Ginny was threatened with torture by [[Bellatrix Lestrange]], Lucius's sister-in-law, who wanted to use the [[Cruciatus Curse]] on her to force Harry to hand over the prophecy. At Harry’s signal, all six D.A. members fired [[Reductor Curse]]s at the shelves to distract the Death Eaters and began running.<ref name=OP /> |

| − | Ginny, along with Luna and Ron, were separated from the other three and were chased through various rooms by Death Eaters. In one room containing a three-dimensional representation of the solar system, one of the Death Eaters grabbed Ginny by the ankle, breaking it. Luna used the [[Reductor Curse]] to blow up the model of Pluto in the Death Eater's face. Ginny was helped to safety by Luna, but she was in shock and pale, and played no further part in the battle. Luckily, the Death Eaters were intent on grabbing the prophecy from Harry and were soon distracted by the arrival of members of the [[Order of the Phoenix]].<ref name=OP /> |

| − | |||
| − | Following the battle, Ginny recovered in the [[hospital wing]] at Hogwarts where [[Poppy Pomfrey|Madam Pomfrey]] fixed her ankle in a trice. On the train ride back to London, Ginny revealed that she had ditched [[Michael Corner|Michael]], who was being sulky about Gryffindor beating Ravenclaw in Quidditch, and who had moved on to [[Cho Chang]]. Ron told her to choose better next time, while casting Harry an oddly furtive look, to which she replied that she already had. Ginny was now dating his classmate [[Dean Thomas]], much to Ron's horror.<ref name=OP /> She comforted Harry, who had lost his godfather, [[Sirius Black]] during the battle, when he was pushed right through the [[veil]], the portal separating the world of the living from the world of the dead by his cousin, [[Bellatrix Lestrange]]. |

Despite having to put up with her brother Bill's new fiancée, [[Fleur Delacour]] (whom she nicknamed "Phlegm" and disliked), she had a good summer practising Quidditch and planning to try out for the House team as a [[Chaser]]. On a trip to Fred and George's new shop, [[Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes]], in Diagon Alley, she bought her first pet, a purple [[Pygmy Puff]] that she named [[Arnold]].<ref name=HP>''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | On September 1, she met up with [[Dean Thomas]] on the [[Hogwarts Express]], but was interrupted by fellow D.A. member [[Zacharias Smith]], who attempted to get information out of her regarding what had happened that [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|night in the Department of Mysteries]]. Tired of his continued questioning, she cursed him with the [[Bat-Bogey Hex]] and was seen by the new [[Potions (class)|Potions]] teacher, [[Horace Slughorn]]. Ginny feared detention, but Slughorn was so impressed with the hex that he invited her to take lunch with him as part of [[Slug Club|a select group of students]] he hoped to cultivate.<ref name=HP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | As term started, Ginny tried out for the [[Gryffindor]] [[Quidditch]] [[Gryffindor Quidditch team|team]], of which Harry had been made the Captain. She excelled as a Chaser and was given a spot on the roster. Following one Quidditch practice, she and Dean were caught kissing by Harry and Ron. She and Ron had a blazing argument over her kissing Dean in public, but Ginny countered that Ron only saw it as wrong because he had never kissed anyone himself. The argument led to a frosty relationship between the two siblings.<ref name=HP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | During the first Quidditch match of the season against [[Slytherin]], Ginny scored several goals to help the team to victory. Following the match, she purposely crashed her broomstick into the commentary box because the commentator, Zacharias Smith, had been making disparaging remarks about the Gryffindor team. Her feud with Ron over his attitude towards her and Dean was worsened when, in the aftermath of the victory, he began going out with [[Lavender Brown]], who he often snogged in public. Ginny branded her brother a "filthy hypocrite" for his actions.<ref name=HP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny spent Christmas at the Burrow with her family, and when she returned to Hogwarts, she seemed unenthusiastic about meeting up with Dean. After Ron was accidentally poisoned on his birthday, Ginny visited him in the hospital wing, and they seemingly forgave each other. She and Harry discussed what had happened to Ron endlessly, trying to come up with an explanation for what had happened.<ref name=HP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ginny played in the Quidditch match against [[Hufflepuff]], where Ron's bedridden status forced Harry to play reserve Keeper [[Cormac McLaggen]]. During the match, McLaggan took one of the [[Beater's bat]]s and knocked a [[bludger]] directly at Harry. Harry was knocked unconscious and suffered a fractured skull. Dean, who had been playing as reserve Chaser in place of [[Katie Bell]], laughed about the incident, causing him and Ginny to have a row. Ginny subsequently visited Harry in the hospital wing.<ref name=HP /> |

| − | |||
| − | Ginny and Dean were going through a rocky patch, and in April they finally split up when she accused Dean of always trying to help her through the portrait door into the Gryffindor common room. In reality, Harry had been wearing his [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]], and bumped into her while under the influence of ''[[Felix Felicis]]'', but the incident finally brought an end to their already unstable relationship. Despite the break-up — or because of it — Ginny was still her usually bubbly self and hung around with Harry and Ron more because of Quidditch training. She also defended Harry's use of the [[Dark Arts|Dark]] ''[[Sectumsempra]]'' spell against [[Draco Malfoy]], even if it had earned him a detention that forced him to miss the last Quidditch match of the year.<ref name=HP /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | With Harry in detention, Ginny took the role of [[Seeker]] for the Gryffindor team for the final match against Ravenclaw. They won the match and the Quidditch cup, and, during the post-match celebrations, Ginny and Harry spontaneously kissed. Ginny, who had never really given up on Harry, was over the moon, as was he, as he had been harbouring feelings for her all year. Ginny and Harry started dating, although their time together was limited due to Harry's weekly detentions and Ginny's [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]] reviews.<ref name=HP /> |

| − | In June, [[Death Eaters]] were let into the school by Draco Malfoy while [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] and Harry were away searching for one of Lord Voldemort's [[Horcrux]]es. Harry, who had suspected that Draco was a Death Eater for a while, forewarned Ron and Hermione to be vigilant and gave them the remains of the ''Felix Felicis'' potion. Ginny, joined Ron and Hermione in taking the potion, giving them extra luck in case they needed it. Along with Ron and Neville who had answered the D.A. call to arms, Ginny staked out the entrance to the [[Room of Requirement]], which Harry believed that Draco was using for some unknown purpose.<ref name=HP /> |

||
| − | |||
| − | In the ensuing [[Battle of the Astronomy Tower|battle]], Ginny duelled with [[Amycus Carrow]], but suffered no injuries due in part to the ''[[Felix Felicis]]'' potion. In the aftermath, Ginny was shocked to find that her brother Bill had been badly injured and permanently scarred by [[Fenrir Greyback]]. She was able to lead Harry away from Dumbledore's body and up to the hospital wing, where Harry broke the news that Dumbledore had been killed by [[Severus Snape]]. She seemed to accept Bill and Fleur's relationship after witnessing the love between them in the hospital wing.<ref name=HP /> |

| − | With the death of Dumbledore, and the knowledge that the protective charm over Harry was due to end soon, the [[Order of the Phoenix]] arranged to move him from the [[Dursley family|Dursleys]]' [[4 Privet Drive|home]] to [[the Burrow]]. While most of her family went off to assist in the operation, which turned into a [[Battle over Little Whinging|battle]], Ginny stayed behind with her mother. As the team started to miss their [[Portkey]]s, Ginny started to worry for their safety and was only partially relieved to see Harry turn up at the Burrow. When [[George Weasley|George]] turned up with his ear cursed off, Ginny was shocked and helped her mother tend to him.

However, while setting the table for dinner, Harry let slip that he, Ron, and Hermione were about to set off on a quest to stop Voldemort. On Harry's [[Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday party|seventeenth birthday]], Ginny confessed that she did not know what to give Harry since anything she gave him would have to be small enough for him to carry around. Instead, she kissed him like she never had before in the hopes of giving him something to remember her by. However, they were interrupted by a disapproving Ron, with Hermione in tow.<ref name=DH /> |

| − | On [[August 1]], Ginny served as a bridesmaid at [[William Weasley|Bill]] and [[Fleur Delacour|Fleur]]'s [[Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour|wedding]], along with [[Gabrielle Delacour]]. She wore a golden dress, and as the ceremony began, her [[Muriel|Auntie Muriel]] remarked in a carrying whisper that her dress was far too low cut. Ginny responded to this by turning around and winking at Harry. During the reception, she danced with [[Luna Lovegood]], [[Lee Jordan]], and others. Harry, disguised as a member of the Weasley family, jealously warned [[Viktor Krum]] off of speaking with her when he remarked on Ginny's attractiveness, warning him that she had a big and jealous boyfriend. In the middle of the celebration, the guests were warned by [[Kingsley Shacklebolt]]'s [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] that the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] had [[Fall of the Ministry of Magic|fallen]], that [[Rufus Scrimgeour]] was dead, and that the [[Death Eaters]] were coming. As the Death Eaters [[Attack at the Burrow|arrived]], [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]] [[Apparition|Apparated]] herself, Harry, and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] away to begin their quest. The [[Weasley family]] was questioned, but none of them were harmed. |

Once at school, Ginny joined up with [[Neville Longbottom]] and [[Luna Lovegood]] to restart the [[Dumbledore's Army|D.A.]] and defy Snape's regime. They openly defied authority and snuck out at night painting graffiti on the walls of the corridors — ''Dumbledore's Army, still recruiting''. On one occasion, they attempted to steal [[Godric Gryffindor's Sword]] from [[Headmaster's office|Snape's office]] but were caught and punished. Ginny served detention with [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] in the Forbidden Forest and was banned from all trips to [[Hogsmeade]].

He asked Ginny to leave the room, on the proviso that she would re-enter it once he had completed his task. Freed of her sanctuary, Ginny joined the battle. After the initial fighting, [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] called a temporary truce to allow the combatants to retrieve their dead, and for Harry to give himself up to avoid further killing. Ginny was shocked and heartbroken by the death of her brother, [[Fred Weasley|Fred]] and was comforted by Hermione. She later assisted in the recovery of the wounded outside the castle. When Harry passed her on his way to face Voldemort in the Forbidden Forest under the Invisibility Cloak, she was comforting an injured girl.

Like the rest of the [[Weasley family]], she has vivid red hair that she wore long, and it was often described as a "mane" — which was appropriate for a [[Gryffindor]], whose symbol was a lion. She has bright brown eyes like her mother<ref name=DH />, and when she set her jaw, she bore a striking resemblance to Fred and George. When she blushed, which was often around Harry in the early years of their friendship, she would go so red that it was said to match her hair.<ref name=CS /><ref name=PA /> She was considered to be very attractive, and garnered a lot of attention from boys when she was at school<ref name=HP />. |

Only around [[Harry Potter]], in the first few years of their friendship, was she different. She had a huge crush on Harry, but could not relax around him at all, and became shy and withdrawn in his presence.<ref name=CS /><ref name=PA /> On the advice of mutual friend [[Hermione Granger]], however, she overcame it and reasserted her usual self, resulting in her eventually winning the heart of her longtime love.<ref name=HP /><ref name=DH /> One of the traits Harry was attracted to was that Ginny very rarely wept.<ref name=DH /> |

| − | Growing up with six older brothers toughened her up, and Ginny was not afraid to stand up to anybody, friends and enemies alike. Notably, she stood up to [[Draco Malfoy]] on their first meeting in Flourish and Blotts when he insulted Harry,<ref name=CS />. She was even known to stand up to Hermione, possibly her best friend, in defence of Harry's use of the ''[[Sectumsempra]]'' spell.<ref name=HP /> However, her fierce temper could sometimes result in her being unkind. For example, when she argued with her brother [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] over her kissing [[Dean Thomas]] in public, Ginny upset and embarrassed Ron by pointing out that he had never snogged anyone, whereas both his best friends already had.<ref name=HP /> Also, she was often harsh towards those whom she disliked; for instance, she made fun of [[Fleur Delacour]] behind her back when she first became engaged to [[William Weasley|Bill]], and both [[Bat-Bogey Hex|hexed]] and crashed into [[Zacharias Smith]] when he irritated her on two separate occasions during her fifth year<ref name=HP />. |

| − | |||
| − | Ginny's relationship with her family was a good one, having been raised in a loving environment. The only daughter in the family, she had to deal with an over-protective [[Molly Weasley|mother]] that only had the safety of her daughter in mind. She argued with her mother on occasion, such as when she would not allow Ginny to sit in on an [[Order of the Phoenix]] meeting or fight in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. She never openly disobeyed her [[Arthur Weasley|father]]. She also sometimes found having six older brothers overbearing, as [[Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]], and [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] all behaved as stereotypical older brothers when it came to her love life. Ginny and Ron had a particularly nasty row about this after Ron caught her snogging [[Dean Thomas]], though they eventually made up<ref name=HP />. |

Ginny got on well with [[Charlie Weasley|Charlie]], but found [[Percy Weasley|Percy]] to be a little overbearing. She caught him kissing his girlfriend, [[Penelope Clearwater]], during her first year, and told her brothers about it following her recovery from possession by [[Tom Riddle|Tom Marvolo Riddle]]'s memory<ref name=CS />. Following his decision to turn his back on his family, Ginny was furious with him and even threw mashed parsnips at him when he came to [[the Burrow]] at Christmas in 1996.<ref name=HP /> In temperament, she resembled the twins, [[Fred and George Weasley|Fred and George]], and, like them, often antagonised [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]], who was closest to her in age. Ginny sometimes embarrassed him in public, such as tripping him in front of Fleur, on whom he had a crush<ref name=HP />. Ginny genuinely cared for all of her family, though, and would often comfort them in times of need, such as when Ron made a fool of himself by asking Fleur to the [[Yule Ball]],<ref name=GF /> or when Bill was permanently scarred.<ref name=HP /> She was broken-hearted by the death of her brother Fred during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]].<ref name=DH /> |

| − | In her [[1996|fifth year]],<!--DON'T change this to "sixth year." She is a year below Harry.--> Harry realised his feelings for Ginny. She had reasserted herself as a vibrant, forceful, and independent young woman, rather than a silly, shy girl, and he saw in her many attractive traits. They had a lot in common — both played [[Quidditch]], both had suffered at the hands of [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]], and they had fought alongside each other. By the end of her [[fifth year]], Ginny and Harry began dating after spontaneously kissing in the aftermath of Gryffindor winning the [[Quidditch Cup]]. They broke up shortly thereafter, as Harry realised that if they continued dating openly, Voldemort would seek to use her to get to him, and that he could not endanger her life while he sought a way to destroy Voldemort. Ginny accepted his decision, but always held onto the hope that he would return to her<ref name=HP />, and in spite of the break-up, their feelings for each other remained as strong as ever. On [[Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday party|Harry's seventeenth birthday]], Ginny kissed him like never before, but they were interrupted by Ron with Hermione in tow; the former discouraged Harry from getting "her hopes up," mentioning that his sister was "really cut up" when Harry ended it. While hunting for [[Horcrux]]es, Harry would stare at her dot on the [[Marauder's Map]] for hours, hoping that she knew that he was watching over her. At school, Ginny participated and helped lead an underground rebellion, and she, [[Neville Longbottom|Neville]], and [[Luna Lovegood|Luna]] even attempted to steal [[Godric Gryffindor's Sword]] for Harry.<ref name=DH /> She, also, could be somewhat possessive of him at times such as when [[Cho Chang]] volunteered to take Harry to see [[Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem]], insisting that Luna take Harry instead. |

Ginny was only a year below Hermione in Hogwarts, and they had become close by Ginny's second year; Hermione comforted Ginny that year when the presence of [[Dementor]]s upset her. Hermione stayed in Ginny's room during her frequent visits to [[the Burrow]] during the summers between school years.<ref name=GF /> Ginny was the only one that Hermione confided in when [[Viktor Krum]] asked her to the [[Yule Ball]],<ref name=GF /> and the only one who knew that she had kissed him at least once<ref name=HP />.

When she found out that Harry didn't have a date for the Yule Ball, and Ron suggested that she go with him, she was disappointed at having missed a chance to go with her crush, but remained faithful to her agreement with Neville.<ref name=GF /> Ginny defended Neville when others laughed at him and told him not to put himself down when he described himself as "nobody."<ref name=OP /> She was also quite horrified when told of how [[Alice and Frank Longbottom|Neville's parents]] were [[Cruciatus Curse|tortured]] into insanity by [[Bellatrix Lestrange]].

Ginny appreciated that Tonks, although an adult, was interested in having fun; she taught Ginny how to check if a door had an [[Imperturbable Charm]] by flicking [[Dungbomb]]s at it. Tonks entertained Ginny and Hermione by displaying her [[Metamorphmagus]] abilities, such as changing her nose into various shapes. In [[1996]], Ginny said that she would rather have Tonks in the family rather than [[Fleur Delacour]]. After Tonks was killed by her aunt [[Bellatrix Lestrange]] during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], Ginny dueled Bellatrix, along with Hermione and Luna, although it is unknown if Ginny knew that it was Bellatrix who had murdered Tonks. After the [[Second Wizarding War]], Ginny and her children were very close to [[Ted Lupin|Teddy]], the son of Tonks and [[Remus Lupin|Remus]]. |

When Fleur starting dating Ginny's oldest brother [[William Weasley|Bill]], he sent her to live with his family for a few days, Ginny called her names, such as "Phlegm", and laughed at her behaviour. She also didn't like that a lot of boys liked Fleur, and it is probably that Ginny suspected that Harry liked Fleur, too. Ginny also told Harry and Ron that Fleur treated her like she was three years old. Ginny prefered [[Nymphadora Tonks]] instead of Fleur, to be a member of their family. However, Ginny stopped disliking Fleur so much when the latter proved that she really loved Bill. Ginny also participated at their wedding. After the [[Second Wizarding War]], both Ginny and Fleur had children with their husbands, and extended the family. |

Sirius was convicted for killing [[Peter Pettigrew's victims|twelve muggles]]. However, Ginny learned that Sirius was innocent, and that [[Peter Pettigrew]] had killed the muggles. She and Sirius had fun together, during at her time at [[12 Grimmauld Place]], the [[Order of the Phoenix]] headquarter. She also cared about Sirius, even as much as Harry did, and went to the [[British Ministry of Magic|Ministry of Magic]] to save Sirius from [[Tom Riddle|Voldemort]]. However, this was a trap to send Harry to take a [[The Prophecy|Prophecy]] from the [[Department of Mysteries]], and a [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|battle]] started, when the Death Eaters appeared. Sirius came to rescue Ginny and the others, along with four members of the Order. Sirius was eventually killed by his cousin, [[Bellatrix Lestrange]]. Ginny was devastated when she learned about his death (although not as much as Harry), which she comforted Harry for, and dueled Bellatrix when she met her again, in the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. |

Lupin, who was the [[Defence Against the Dark Arts]] professor at the time, comforted Ginny after her first meeting with Dementors, and gave her a piece of chocolate. The relationship between them is unknown, until [[1995]], when Ginny and Remus were met again at 12 Grimmauld Place, the Order headquarters. Remus and Ginny were friendly, although Lupin was a [[werewolf]]; Ginny didn't care about it, as almost no one did. In [[1996]], Remus came to Ginny's rescue from the [[Department of Mysteries]], and they fought in the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries|battle]]. A year later, during the [[Christmas holidays]], Remus visited Harry and the [[Weasley family]] in their house. When Remus was about to marry Tonks, Ginny was very happy, because she liked them both. During the [[Battle of Hogwarts]], Lupin was killed by a [[Death Eaters|Death Eater]] named [[Antonin Dolohov|Dolohov]]. Ginny was devastated by the death of him, Tonks and her brother Fred.

Although she wasn't very close to Hagrid, Ginny seemed to like him, as they were both friends of [[Harry Potter|Harry]], [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]]. Hagrid told Harry that he saw Ginny near his [[Rubeus Hagrid's hut|hut]]. He supposed that Ginny hoped to see Harry, and teased Harry for it. During Ginny's years at Hogwarts, she and Hagrid had a friendly relationship. They were both devastated after Dumbledore's death, and both of them fought at the [[Battle of Hogwarts]].

Ginny met Dumbledore in [[1992]], during her first year at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. After Ginny was overpowered by [[Tom Riddle|Tom Marvolo Riddle]]'s memory, and saved by [[Harry Potter]], Dumbledore comforted her, and spoke to her friendly. Although they didn't have a close relationship, Ginny always admired Dumbledore and the headmaster liked Ginny, and cared about her, as he did with every student he had. They were also met at [[12 Grimmauld Place]] in [[1995]], and they both fought at the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]]. Ginny was also one of the first people to learn about Dumbledore's death, and the one to comfort Harry when he saw the dead body of the headmaster. Ginny also named her [[Albus Potter|youngest son]] after Albus Dumbledore. |

McGonagall had a good relationship with the [[Weasley]] family, as they were all members of the [[Order of the Phoenix]]. Ginny fought with McGonagall at several battles of the Second Wizarding War. After the war, McGonagall possibly remained friendly with the Weasleys. |

Ginny became a member of [[Dumbledore's Army]] in order to oppose her. During the army meetings, Ginny made fun of Umbridge, coughing exactly like the professor, making the other students laugh. Umbridge was kicked out of Hogwarts by the end of the school year. After the Second Wizarding War, Umbridge was also imprisoned in [[Azkaban]],due to her crimes against muggle-borns. |

Ginny's enthusiasm about the relationship seemed to ebb by the [[Christmas]] of [[1996]], as she was not terribly eager about seeing him upon her return to Hogwarts. They also began to row over little things, such as Dean always attempting to help her through the portrait hole into the common room, and about him laughing when Harry suffered a fractured skull courtesy of [[Cormac McLaggen]]. Harry actually influenced the last argument they had by unintentionally brushing past Ginny when she was climbing through the portrait hole while under the influence of ''[[Felix Felicis]]'' and wearing his [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]]. They broke up soon after. Ginny got over the split fairly quickly, as she began dating Harry soon afterward, but Dean took it much harder; he broke his glass upon witnessing Ginny and Harry's first kiss.<ref name=HP /> |

In [[1995]], she brought him and some of his friends along to the first meeting of what would become [[Dumbledore's Army]]. When the two dueled during meetings, Michael did not hit Ginny with anything, possibly because she was his friend.

Ginny hadn't discovered who Tom Riddle really was, and stated that he was "the only person who understands her". Voldemort also was able to regain a physical body by killing Ginny. However, Ginny was rescued by Harry Potter, who killed the Basilisk and destroyed Tom Riddle's Diary. Ginny met Voldemort again during the [[Battle of the Department of Mysteries]], when she saw Harry defeat Voldemort by [[love]] (in the film). Ginny also witnessed his final defeat by Harry, during the [[Battle of Hogwarts]]. |

| − | ===Children=== |
||
| − | After the [[Second Wizarding War]], Ginny had three children with Harry; two sons named [[James Potter II|James]] and [[Albus Potter|Albus]], and a daughter named [[Lily Potter|Lily]]. Lily looked like her mother, as she was the youngest, and the only girl, and she was jealous of her brothers who went to [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]], while Albus took physically after his father. Ginny disapproved of James' behaviour towards his brother, and his poor timing and knack for interfering with love life, and said that he was like his uncle, Ron, after he interupted Victoire Weasley and Teddy Lupin kissing. Ginny also comforted Albus when he was nervous about in which house he would be sorted. Ginny loved her children very much, as her mother Molly loved her own children. |

| − | ===Nieces and nephews=== |
||
| − | Ginny had many nieces and nephews through her brothers. Her nieces and nephews who are closest at age to her children are [[Rose Weasley|Rose]] and [[Hugo Weasley|Hugo]], the children of [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and [[Hermione Granger|Hermione]]. Rose was the same age as [[Albus Potter|Albus]], while Hugo was the same age as [[Lily Potter|Lily]]. Ginny said goodbye to Rose when she was getting on the [[Hogwarts Express]]. |

| − | ==Etymology== |
||
| − | Ginevra is the Italian form of the name ''Guinevere'', which means "fair one". [[Wikipedia:Guinevere|Guinevere]] is also the name of King Arthur's wife in Arthurian legend, famous for her affair with Arthur's chief knight Sir Lancelot. There seems to be a pattern in the [[Weasley family]] of naming members after characters in Arthurian legend. The name ''Ginevra'' is also an Italian variant of ''[[Wikipedia:Juniper (given name)|Juniper]]'', derived from the [[Wikipedia:Juniper|tree or berry]]. Junipers were often used to represent chastity in Renaissance-period art, such as in Leonardo da Vinci's ''[[Wikipedia:Ginevra de' Benci|Ginevra de' Benci]]''<ref>[[Wikipedia:Juniper (given name)#Symbolism of the name Juniper|Symbolism of the name Juniper]] at [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]]</ref>. Another famous muse bearing this name was [[Wikipedia:Ginevra King|Ginevra King]], a socialite who inspired [[Wikipedia:F. Scott Fitzgerald|F. Scott Fitzgerald]]'s character Daisy Buchanan in ''[[Wikipedia:The Great Gatsby|The Great Gatsby]]''. |

| − | Ginny's married surname is Potter. [[Wikipedia:Potter|Potter]] is a very common surname of English origin.<ref>[http://surnames.behindthename.com/top/search.php?terms=potter Behind the Name: Rankings for 'Potter']</ref> It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. [[Wikipedia:Beatrix Potter|Beatrix Potter]] was a well-known English children's author. [[Wikipedia:Potter's Field|Potter's Field]] is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description. The [[Wikipedia:Potter Box|Potter Box]] is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University. [[J. K. Rowling]] has also commented that she has liked the name since childhood.<ref>[http://www.mugglenet.com/books/name_origins2.shtml MuggleNet: Name Origins]</ref> |

||
| − | ''"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. But, I felt — and I'm talking years ago when all this was planned — initially, she's terrified by his image. I mean, he's a bit of a rock god to her when she sees him first, at 10 or 11, and he's this famous boy. So Ginny had to go through a journey as well… I feel that Ginny and Harry, in this book, they are total equals. They are worthy of each other. They've both gone through a big emotional journey, and they've really got over a lot of delusions, to use your word, together. So, I enjoyed writing that. I really like Ginny as a character."''<ref>[http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview3.shtml MuggleNet and The Leaky Cauldron interview Joanne Kathleen Rowling part 3]</ref> |

| − | ==Behind the scenes== |
||
| − | *Ginny Weasley has been portrayed by actress [[Bonnie Wright]] in all the ''Harry Potter'' movies series to date. Wright has also provided the voice for Ginny in the video game versions of ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (video game)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]] and [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (video game)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]. |
||
| − | *[[Bonnie Wright]] has blue eyes, instead of brown, as Ginny is described as having. She is also not as short as Ginny is described to be in the books<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0942247/bio Bonnie Wright's profile at the Internet Movie Database] describes her as being 5'6" (1.68 m).</ref>. |
||
| − | *There's an inconsistency over which one will be Ginny's Jersey Number in her [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]] tunic in ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]'', since the trailer shows her wearing number 5, but the official photos released so far show her wearing number 6. This problem is also the case with her brother Ron, who appears in many photos wearing jersey # 2, but the trailer shows [[Jimmy Peakes]] wearing that number. In Ron's case the "2" he wears is most likely because the pictures are from the team tryouts and not from the official team roster for the tournament. This may be too the case for Ginny, who will most likely end up with the 5 she wears in the trailer, since there, the team appears to be in an official match. |
||
| − | *Ginny's [[Patronus]] is a horse. It is never described in the books, but is shown in the [[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film)|film adaptation]] of ''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''. This was later confirmed by [[J. K. Rowling]]. |
||
| − | *In the film adaptations, Ginny's relationship with [[Michael Corner]] was cut. However, it is included in the video game of the film. |
||
| − | *J.K. Rowling has stated that she had planned certain moments, such as Ginny beating [[Cho Chang]] to the [[Golden Snitch]] during a [[Quidditch]] match, from the start as a subtle comparison between Ginny and Cho, showing that Ginny was a better match for Harry. |
||
| − | *Many fans believed that "Ginny" was short for "Virginia." It was later established that Ginny's given name is "Ginevra".<!-- ATTENTION! The name is spelled with the "v" before the "r," as per J.K. Rowling's official site. Copy and paste this link http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=7 for confirmation. --> |
||
| − | *Several times throughout the series, some of Ginny's actions are described as being catlike. However, her personality does not reflect the style of her actions, as her [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] is a horse instead of a cat. |
||
| − | *Ginny has two soundtracks which are titled as ''Ginny'' and ''When Ginny Kissed Harry'' on the [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] for the [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|film]] of ''[[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince]]''. |
||
| − | *Ginny Weasley and [[Harry Potter]]'s romantic relationship is told in a slightly different way in the film from the novel of ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'': |
||
| − | **In the [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince|novel version]], [[Harry Potter|Harry]] shares his first kiss with Ginny in front of [[Gryffindor]] students in the [[Gryffindor Tower|Gryffindor Common Room]] after the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]] won the quidditch cup. Also in the book, Harry finished his romantic relationship with Ginny at [[Albus Dumbledore|Professor Albus Dumbledore]] funeral. |
||
| − | **In the [[Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (film)|film version]], Ginny and [[Harry Potter|Harry]] go to the Room of Requirements together to hide Harry's copy of the Advanced Potion-Making book, which previously belonged to the [[Severus Snape|Half-Blood Prince]], after he curses [[Draco Malfoy]]. While there, Ginny asked Harry to close his eyes while she goes and hides the Half-Blood Prince book so that he and other students can't find it. When she returned back to Harry, she kisses him. Harry was very much delighted and surprised that he received a kiss from Ginny. Also at the end of the movie its implied that Ginny and Harry are still dating. |
