On Ginny

[donnaimmaculata]

Apparently, there are those who say that Harry only went for Ginny because she's Lily II. Regardless on whether or not this is true - would that be that bad if the boy fell in love with a girl who reminded him - if only superficially - of his mother? I know that I tend to go for boys who have something in common with my father. I'm not attracted to my father at all, but I've read a silly little poem he wrote in my diary when I was ten recently, and I realised that I could so fall for a man who writes like that. And then I thought, OMG, it's my father! And: But the poem's so cute and witty!

What I'm trying to say is that there's nothing wrong with being attracted to someone because there are certain characteristics about them which remind you of your parents. Unless there's something seriously wrong with me, which I wouldn't quite rule out.

I've always liked Ginny. She's the only female character in the novels who's ever showed a sense of humour. Her newly developed ability of being entertaining is a logical extrapolation of her capability of laughing at silly things, which she had shown from the very beginning. She's unnecessarily bitchy? Growing up at Molly's daughter, she had to find some way to deal with her pent-up frustrations.

Oh, and she's intelligent and smart too, of course.

And Gryffindor boys, Slytherin boys and freaking Death Eaters in the middle of a giant fight in the middle of Hogwarts feel compelled to comment on her good looks. Yeah. Not a Sue. Totally.

:) Yeah. I don't hate Ginny. I just find her a very uninteresting character, and if she had been written by a fic writer, many people would agree she's a Mary Sue.
