You’re not going to be able to type for a few minutes while we make some announcements, please bear with us, you’ll be able to type again soon. [19:16] <fawkes28> There may be times during the chat when a moderator will want to PM something to you. Please keep an eye on the top of your screen, right next to the button with #Lounge on it. A button will appear with one of the mods' names on it. If you see that appear, click on it to see the PM that has been sent to you by that mod [19:16] *** Pellinore has joined #lounge [19:16] <fawkes28> You won’t be able to reply to that PM, but if you could just say something like "Sooner, got it” in the main chat, to let us know that you have seen it, that will be great. We'd also like to remind you that the rules of the Lounge also apply here in the Corner Booth, and may be found here: http://www.leakylounge.com/?act=rules [19:16] <fawkes28> If you need to contact us during the chat, send one, or all, of us a PM on the Lounge. We will be checking them regularly, but if we haven't replied after a little while then please let us know here that you have sent a PM. Thanks for your cooperation! [19:16] <fawkes28> While its easy to drift off in various directions, let's all try to have a fun chat by sticking to the topic for today. OK, moving on to the topic for the chat! [19:16] *** FawkesFlames has quit [Bye] [19:16] *** FawkesFlames has joined #lounge [19:16] <futureweasley> When we first see Ginny Weasley, She is described as being small, with long red hair and bright brown eyes. She is the youngest of the Weasley family and has 6 older brothers. [19:16] <futureweasley> Harry sees her interacting with her family and then watches her chasing the train, laughing and crying, as it leaves the station. In this first scene, her connection to Harry is established with Harry overhearing a scene in which Ginny begs her mother to be able to go on the train and see the famous Harry Potter. [19:17] *** danae24 has joined #lounge [19:17] <futureweasley> She starts to emerge as a forceful personality with a sense of humour and playfulness. As her character emerges, we learn that she is warmhearted, loyal and brave and has a fierce temper when riled. She can be unkind when angered, but comforting when sympathetic. [19:17] <futureweasley> Ginny is perhaps best known for the traumatic events she endured during her first year at school and as being the love interest of the title character, Harry Potter. [19:17] <futureweasley> Ginny is short for Ginevra, which is Italian for Guinevere. Guinevere was also the name of King Arthur's wife. Is Jo trying to give us any hints with the Arthurian meaning of her name? [19:17] *** BrettMac has joined #lounge [19:17] <SoonerGryffindor> I love how all of the Weasleys have arturian names [19:17] <danae24> Maybe to show the force that Ginny is.............. [19:17] <kaelgirl> I think that could be a possibility [19:18] <DumbleDebbie> that's a cool connection [19:18] <futureweasley> this really intrigues me...and I think it's likely [19:18] <An_Eternal_Night> wow, I didn't know that Ginevra was Latin for Guinevere! [19:18] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, it's great Sooner [19:18] <FawkesFlames> I'm slightly slow on this but what was Guinevere's role in Arthur Legends? [19:18] <danae24> she may be a small girl, but she is powerful [19:18] <Shard> It is, the Weasly's seem to have a strong mythlogical connection [19:18] <Poet> Yes indeed. She has several Arthurian references in the series. [19:18] <kaelgirl> I love how she has a fierce Bat Bogey Hex. that is awesome [19:18] <fw00per> I never realized all the Weasley's have Arthurian names [19:18] <Shard> I think Jo has been hinting there is more to this girl that meets the eye [19:18] <FawkesFlames> yeah they do, even down to Percy [19:18] <SoonerGryffindor> well, the fact that she is the love interest for the hero is a big link, I think [19:18] <futureweasley> well, she brought down the knights of the round table, as she had an extramarital relationship with Lancelot (so says the legend), Flames. [19:19] <fw00per> that's awesome - I just discovered a whole new world [19:19] <Shard> Well Percy is more obivous then Bill, George and Fred [19:19] <Poet> Harry pulls a sword out of a hat and then saves Ginevra wink [19:19] <FawkesFlames> Her similarities to Lily are fairly stricking too [19:19] <nympheart> she never had kids [19:19] <daretodream2> I didn't know about the name orgin or the weasley's, interesting [19:19] <danae24> me too fw00per [19:19] <Shard> lol Yes SG I would agree there [19:19] <Aislinn> yes sooner [19:19] <fw00per> absolutely sooner [19:19] <BrettMac> me too...am I too late to join in? smile [19:19] *** emeraldflames has joined #lounge [19:19] <futureweasley> hi emerald [19:19] *** harrypotterfreak4 has joined #lounge [19:19] <DumbleDebbie> hi emeraldflames [19:19] <SoonerGryffindor> never too late unless the chat is over Brett [19:19] <fw00per> no brett, we just started [19:19] <nympheart> hi emerald and hpfreak [19:19] <Shard> I think it could be said that Ginny hasn't shown us her full potential [19:20] <DumbleDebbie> hi hpfreak [19:20] <emeraldflames> hi [19:20] <harrypotterfreak4> hi everyone [19:20] <FawkesFlames> I agree nymph [19:20] <nympheart> i agree shard [19:20] <BrettMac> Hi [19:20] <danae24> I agree with that Shard........ [19:20] <harryfreak359> wow I never knew her name originated from that [19:20] <fw00per> i agree shard [19:20] <BrettMac> Me too [19:20] <kaelgirl> She could very well show us everything she's got in the next book. I'm looking forward to it [19:20] <fw00per> she's a fiesty one [19:20] <harrypotterfreak4> as am i [19:20] <harryfreak359> awww, I share a name sake with her...that's awesome smile [19:20] <fw00per> lol [19:20] <Shard> I agree she is very fiesty [19:20] <BrettMac> Could she maybe join the trio in DH? [19:20] <FawkesFlames> well it must be in the next book because there are no other chances [19:20] <futureweasley> right, she's already shown her feriosity...she will be a force to be reconned with in DH, I think [19:20] <DumbleDebbie> neat HF [19:20] <danae24> She is a really powerful witch....... just from the fact that Slughorn saw potential in her says something [19:20] <futureweasley> Ginny is the first girl to be born into the Weasley family for several generations, which according to Jo is meant to indicate that Ginny is a very gifted witch. Have we seen good examples of this so far? [19:20] <FawkesFlames> I don't think Harry will let her join the trio [19:20] <DumbleDebbie> mee to FW [19:20] <SoonerGryffindor> I think we have [19:20] <harryfreak359> I think so [19:20] <fawkes28> definitely [19:21] <Greeneyes15> Yes [19:21] <DumbleDebbie> oh yeah [19:21] <danae24> Her Bat-bogey hex says all [19:21] <harrypotterfreak4> she's also the seventh child [19:21] <fw00per> bat bogey hex - 'nuff said [19:21] <MrMcGonagall> Definitely. The Bat Bogey Hex, for one. [19:21] <BrettMac> Well that's true then it would be a fouro...or something [19:21] <daretodream2> yes, the bat bogey hex [19:21] <kaelgirl> definitely [19:21] <harryfreak359> lol [19:21] <Shard> 7 is a lucky number as well [19:21] <harryfreak359> yes indeed [19:21] <Pellinore> only a touch from the bat-boogy hex and her abilities in the DA [19:21] <Aislinn> Her brothers and Slughorn have both admired her skills [19:21] <BrettMac> We never really see much of the bat bogey except from ginny [19:21] <FawkesFlames> Was she in the slug club just for the hex [19:21] <futureweasley> lol fw00per...that was a nasty bit of charmwork [19:21] <Shard> She is unique and maybe even a sign of change [19:21] <DumbleDebbie> she survived being possesed by Voldy [19:21] <SoonerGryffindor> yes. Being the first girl and being the 7th child all seem to lead to her being very powerful [19:21] <FawkesFlames> She's likely good at Potions too [19:21] <Aislinn> yes flames [19:21] <Shard> Maybe a change of luck for the Weasley's [19:21] <BrettMac> I agree [19:21] <nympheart> yes, debbie [19:21] <An_Eternal_Night> we have, but I think that we will be seeing a lot more of it [19:21] <Shard> Definatly she is going to do more [19:22] <Pellinore> at least marry into money ;) [19:22] <FawkesFlames> Her brothers seem to fear her as well, even though they're older and just as magically inclined [19:22] <fw00per> she's obviously mature too - having survived LV's possession of her with no lasting scars (that we've seen) [19:22] <DumbleDebbie> lol Pellinore [19:22] <futureweasley> she seems to be Harry's equal in many ways (magically speaking)...she good at what she's good at, and the rest comes from application [19:22] <BrettMac> maybe she's a horcrux...dont start yelling at me, i wasn't serious smile [19:22] <fawkes28> very true, fwooper [19:22] <danae24> she is intelligent too [19:22] <DumbleDebbie> I think they're there fwooper, on the inside [19:22] <kaelgirl> ah, gotta run. gotta hate work. [19:22] <Aislinn> yes, future, I'd agree with that [19:22] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, Fred and George are careful not to cross her. [19:22] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [19:22] <DumbleDebbie> bye kaelgirl [19:22] <danae24> bye kael! [19:22] <Aislinn> bye kaelgirl [19:22] <daretodream2> I think she knows just as much magic as her brothers and they are all quite gifted at times [19:22] <harryfreak359> bye Kaelgirl [19:22] *** kaelgirl has quit [Bye] [19:23] <SoonerGryffindor> When I think of Ginny, I think of the term "dynamite comes in small packages" [19:23] <Pleshette> be back in bit [19:23] <FawkesFlames> I think her connections and similarities to Lily are really important [19:23] <harryfreak359> lol [19:23] <BrettMac> Me too lol [19:23] <fw00per> I sometimes think of her as the female version of Fred and George [19:23] <nympheart> lol, SG [19:23] <harrypotterfreak4> i think all the weasley's will play a part at some time in the last book [19:23] <Shard> Thats a good term Sooner [19:23] <MrMcGonagall> Good point, Sooner! lol [19:23] <DumbleDebbie> that's very accurate Sooner [19:23] <fw00per> yes Fflames [19:23] <fawkes28> being in a family with six boys with definitely make a girl strong [19:23] <DumbleDebbie> bye Pleshette [19:23] <daretodream2> yes sooner [19:23] <Pellinore> I was thinking that Bill was her favorite older brother but I'm not sure if that's cannon or something i read in a fan fic [19:23] <futureweasley> very true fawkes28 [19:23] <Shard> I have toi agree there Fawkes [19:23] <emeraldflames> i agree fawkes [19:23] <harryfreak359> bye Pleshette [19:23] <FawkesFlames> no it's cannon [19:23] <harryfreak359> I agree Fawekes [19:23] <BrettMac> Me too [19:24] <harryfreak359> Fawkes* [19:24] <FawkesFlames> Bill is her favorite, it seems [19:24] <futureweasley> Ginny seems to be most famous for her mastery of the bat-bogey-hex. According to the Lexicon, the bat-bogey hex engorges an opponent's 'bogies' to bat-size, gives them wings, and sets them to attacking his or her face. What do you think about this spell? [19:24] <Shard> It is Ginny admires Bill and the Twins [19:24] <BrettMac> wow it seems like all I'm doing is agreeing... [19:24] <emeraldflames> it's never said specifically if she has a favorite brother, but she seems overly protective of Bill, especially in HBP [19:24] <nympheart> that's hilarious [19:24] <Poet> Disgusting, but effective [19:24] <Aislinn> it seems a rather gross spell, but effective [19:24] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it shows both her power and her mischevious side [19:24] <DumbleDebbie> I don't want to be on the receiving end, that's for sure [19:24] <harryfreak359> um...disgusting...yet I would so love to be able to use it [19:24] <MrMcGonagall> Tht is even more disgusting than the slugs. [19:24] <futureweasley> she must have learned it from the twins [19:24] <futureweasley> lol [19:24] <BrettMac> That's true and she seems to have a sort of rivalry with ron [19:24] <Poet> A perfect spell for a girl with 6 brothers to learn [19:24] <Shard> I think that spell is gross and I can't wait to see it in the thretres [19:24] <FawkesFlames> sounds like a really complex kind of charm [19:24] <fawkes28> i agree, sooner [19:24] <An_Eternal_Night> I think it's disgusting and amazing at the same time [19:24] <Shard> and I love that she did that to Malfoy lol [19:24] <DumbleDebbie> lol FW [19:24] <BrettMac> lol [19:24] <daretodream2> I think its really quite gross [19:24] <FawkesFlames> and to perform it well would be hard I think [19:24] <Shard> I bet she did FW [19:24] <Poet> I wonder if she ever used it on her brothers are retaliation - all in good fun of course [19:24] <Aislinn> it doen't seem to be one that a lot of people have mastered [19:25] <emeraldflames> I hope they show it in the film [19:25] <Aislinn> we don't really hear of other people using it [19:25] <nympheart> i'm sure she has poet [19:25] <BrettMac> Slughorn wouldnt compliment her if it wasnt really hard [19:25] <SoonerGryffindor> to me, it seems only a spell that a girl with 6 brothers would know [19:25] <Poet> *as retaliation [19:25] <futureweasley> I just think that she is a mite that packs a whollop, and there is just no messing with that girl [19:25] <MrMcGonagall> As hexes go, it's pretty nasty. [19:25] <Shard> It's hindted at in the first book [19:25] <harryfreak359> I agree Sooner lol [19:25] <An_Eternal_Night> is it the same as the Curse of the Bogies we hear about in Book 1? [19:25] <Shard> Ron wanted to learn the curse of the Boogies [19:25] <FawkesFlames> is it a hex in canon or is it called a charm? [19:25] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, love that about her FW [19:25] <Aislinn> it may be, AEN [19:25] <harryfreak359> It's a hex I believe [19:25] <SoonerGryffindor> I bet it is the same thing [19:25] <futureweasley> you want to cross a Weasley? Do so at your own peril! [19:25] <Pellinore> could be why she wanted a Pygmy Puff as a pet so the Bat-Boggy Hex couldn't be used against her ;o [19:25] <BrettMac> Lol [19:25] <fw00per> it shows her tomboy side [19:25] <MrMcGonagall> Definitely a hex, at least in the American edition. [19:26] <futureweasley> yes MrMcG [19:26] <futureweasley> Hex...US Edition [19:26] <FawkesFlames> she seems fair minded too, when she got on Ron for being a hypocrit [19:26] <BrettMac> Well i got canadian so that doesnt help sad [19:26] <fw00per> lol [19:26] <FawkesFlames> that reminded me of Lily trying to help Snape [19:26] <Shard> That Pygmy Puff is a Tribble I tell you lol [19:26] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [19:26] <Poet> Well, you'll have to go read up on Jo's site where it explains all the differences and similarities between hexes, curse, charms, etc. wink [19:26] <Poet> Yes, Shar, I agree. [19:26] <DumbleDebbie> yes, it does seem like that Shard LOL [19:26] <Pellinore> Tribble with a tounge [19:26] <fw00per> what's a tribble? [19:27] <Shard> They're in trouble if little Arnold starts breeding [19:27] <Pellinore> star trek refference o; [19:27] <FawkesFlames> Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them sir [19:27] <Poet> I think we have indeed seem examples of her magical skill [19:27] <SoonerGryffindor> its a star trek thing [19:27] <Shard> Little furbals from Star Trek [19:27] <DumbleDebbie> Star Trek ref fwooper [19:27] <FawkesFlames> haha [19:27] <fw00per> figures [19:27] <BrettMac> lol shard [19:27] <Aislinn> Let's stick to the question on the table smile [19:27] <Poet> And the fact that Slughorn thought it was good enough to invite her to his Slug Club says a lot [19:27] <Shard> Sorry *sheepis* [19:27] <fw00per> pardon my ignorance [19:27] <SoonerGryffindor> back to the bat-bogey-hex, I love how she has made this her "thing" [19:27] <An_Eternal_Night> yeah, it does Poet [19:27] <Shard> It does seem to be her own thing! [19:28] <FawkesFlames> yeah it gave Ginny something that is almost solely hers [19:28] <emeraldflames> yeah, you never really see anyone else using that hex [19:28] <BrettMac> Yeah [19:28] <Aislinn> it is definitely her specialty sooner, yes [19:28] <nympheart> so do I, Sooner, it's her trademark [19:28] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, don't mess with her! [19:28] <FawkesFlames> I don't believe we've seen anyone else perform it [19:28] <Shard> Kinda like how Snape claims Levicorpuis as his spell [19:28] <harrypotterfreak4> each character does seem to have a special speel [19:28] <danae24> but even for a bat-bogey hex, if I recall correctly, she does it with more power than other people [19:28] <Aislinn> and shows her to not be a shrinking violet, or girly-girl [19:28] <harrypotterfreak4> spell* [19:28] <FawkesFlames> well snape did create levicorpus [19:28] <Pellinore> its an interesting spell but if you can still cast while being attacked it only effects those who can't concentrate under pressure [19:28] <SoonerGryffindor> good comparison Shard [19:28] <Shard> Perhaps Ginny is as creative as Snape? [19:28] <futureweasley> she has taken what she knows and tweaked it to become "hers"...and that is very admirable in such a young person [19:28] <Shard> Agreed FW [19:28] <futureweasley> We know nothing about Ginny's wand, whether it be new, or hand-me-down. If you had to take a guess, what would you venture Ginny's wand core is and what would it be known as being good for? [19:28] <fw00per> yes future [19:28] <BrettMac> Yep [19:28] <SoonerGryffindor> phoenix [19:28] <Poet> Dragon heart string [19:29] <danae24> I guess it's new...... being the only girl [19:29] <DumbleDebbie> that'd be cool Sooner [19:29] <FawkesFlames> I would say Dragon Heart String as well [19:29] <futureweasley> I think it's Dragon Heart Sting, too [19:29] <nympheart> i think it would match Harry's, phoenix [19:29] <Pellinore> dragonheart string and hex's [19:29] <BrettMac> Maybe ie's phoenix feather and thats why she's attracted to harry? [19:29] <harryfreak359> hmmm, well I'm no expert with wand cores but i'd say the dragon heart string as well [19:29] <fawkes28> i agree poet - dragon heart string [19:29] <daretodream2> I would say dragon heart string also [19:29] <Aislinn> I think it would be known as being good for charms [19:29] <SoonerGryffindor> and I think it would be good for Charms [but not because of Lily] [19:29] <FawkesFlames> I'm betting it's like Lilys [19:29] <Aislinn> and I agree with dragon heart string [19:29] <BrettMac> Maybe [19:29] <futureweasley> I think that it's likely all the Weasley's dragon cores are the same...it's part of what makes them so "tight" [19:29] <An_Eternal_Night> I think it's a dragon heartstring as well [19:29] <fw00per> i can't decide, leaning toward dragon heart string [19:29] <Shard> I am going to hazard it is new... [19:29] <SoonerGryffindor> nonon. Ginny is very unlike Lily, IMO [19:29] <harrypotterfreak4> i also think dragon heartstring [19:29] <FawkesFlames> whatever Lily's core was is what hers is. And it's likely good for charms [19:29] <MrMcGonagall> For Ginny, I really don't know. I could see any of the Ollivander options. [19:29] <nympheart> I doubt that she has her own wand though [19:29] <Poet> I say dragon heart string simply because of the words used in its name wink [19:29] <harryfreak359> I think it is new as well [19:29] <Pellinore> rather see it being something that would complement Harry rather then duplicate [19:29] <DumbleDebbie> that's a neat idea FW [19:29] <emeraldflames> Hermione also has dragon heart string [19:29] <fawkes28> phoenix feathers aren't that common either [19:29] <SoonerGryffindor> I just have a feeling it may be phoenix [19:29] <harrypotterfreak4> maybe charley got the wand for her for a present [19:30] <futureweasley> is it Hermione with the Dragon Heartstring? [19:30] <Aislinn> yes, pellinore, I agree [19:30] <emeraldflames> yes [19:30] <futureweasley> I thought that was Ron [19:30] <BrettMac> I think so [19:30] <nympheart> yup, fw [19:30] <emeraldflames> Ron has the unicorn [19:30] <danae24> we still havent seen anyone with unicorn hair. so maybe she has one in her wand [19:30] <Aislinn> I think it is future [19:30] <nympheart> on Jo's site [19:30] <FawkesFlames> Ron had unicorn hair [19:30] <SoonerGryffindor> and I do think it is new as well. She has been too good all these years to be using a hand-me-down [19:30] <harryfreak359> yeah fw [19:30] <danae24> ohh......... forgot about ron [19:30] <Poet> Well she IS firey, so it could be either phoenix or dragon... [19:30] <SoonerGryffindor> Ron, Nevillie, and Cedric all had unicorn [19:30] <FawkesFlames> I agree SG [19:30] <Pellinore> wasn't ron's a handme down from Charlie or another brother? [19:30] <daretodream2> I agree it her wand is not new [19:30] <Aislinn> me too, sooner - I think it is new to her [19:30] <An_Eternal_Night> we don't really have a good idea as to what it would be good for because we've never seen her in classes before [19:30] <nympheart> yup, Pellinore [19:30] <fw00per> if she is using a hand-me-down, think what she could do with a new one [19:30] <FawkesFlames> The wand is new because I can't imagine anyone who would have given up theirs to her [19:30] <harryfreak359> Ron's came from Charlie [19:31] <FawkesFlames> and it wouldn't be as effective [19:31] <Shard> If everyne with Unicorn hair died I dont think there'd be that many characters [19:31] <BrettMac> I don tthink jo would do that, create a new wand core after all this time [19:31] <Poet> I think after 7 children there might have not been another wand to hand down [19:31] <nympheart> I think Ginny's is probaly a hand-me-down, but if Ron got a new one with the winnings from the draw, maybe she did too [19:31] <Pellinore> i would expect Her wand to be a new one.. courtesy of either Bill, Charlie or both [19:31] <harryfreak359> mmhmm, I agree Poet [19:31] <BrettMac> Yeah theyd need their wands all through life [19:31] *** Floridagirl8192 has quit [Bye] [19:31] <DumbleDebbie> i think it's new too [19:31] <danae24> I'm guessing is new since Mrs. Weasly talks about getting a wand in Diagon Alley for Ginny....... maybe it's a second-hand wand [19:31] <SoonerGryffindor> she's just too darned good with it [19:31] <DumbleDebbie> yep [19:31] <harrypotterfreak4> i agrre sooner [19:31] <Poet> Good catch danae24 [19:31] <harryfreak359> all wands are second though really, aren't they? [19:31] <MrMcGonagall> I agree Sooner, I think it's new. [19:31] <FawkesFlames> I'm not sure there is such a thing as a second hand wand [19:32] <futureweasley> I think the Weasley's would have tightened the financial belt to get the first girl in forever her own wand, personally [19:32] <BrettMac> Do they sell 2nd hand wands in diagon alley? [19:32] <harryfreak359> second hand* [19:32] <FawkesFlames> I don't think so [19:32] <SoonerGryffindor> so we all probably agree it is either dragon heartstring or phoenix, and new, eh? [19:32] <emeraldflames> not that i can recall [19:32] <Aislinn> she does seem to be quite good with it, too good for it to be a second hand wand [19:32] <fw00per> yes, future, I think they may baby her a bit [19:32] <harryfreak359> yes,I agree Sooner [19:32] <FawkesFlames> I would assume that the wand chosing the wizard would make the wizard inclined to keep it [19:32] <Pellinore> <--- being the older brother I'd easily see them helping out on her most important item. [19:32] <An_Eternal_Night> I agree future [19:32] <Shard> You know with Ginny's ability I think she has a wand that matches her [19:32] <danae24> If you no longer want the wand you have, you sell it.......... [19:32] <Aislinn> what about the wood? [19:32] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe Ginny gets a little special treatment in the family, too, for being the only girl. No hand-me-down robes, either. [19:32] <Poet> No, because otherwise it wouldn't be so big a deal for Ollivander to be gone [19:32] <FawkesFlames> unless of course it was broken or worn to a level that made it useless [19:32] <Shard> I mean who's to say a hand me down can't match the person?? [19:32] *** Floridagirl8192 has joined #lounge [19:32] <BrettMac> Thatstrue shard [19:32] <Aislinn> it's less likely though, shard [19:32] <BrettMac> *thats true [19:32] <SoonerGryffindor> true Shard, but I still doubt it [19:32] <harryfreak359> very true Shard [19:32] <Poet> And since he makes most of the wands, I'd imagine if there were second hand wands he'd be selling them himself [19:32] <DumbleDebbie> when is her birthday? [19:32] <nympheart> no, shard, but it still would cast spells, just not as strong [19:32] <futureweasley> but, even with the "pampering", she's not a princess...she's not a snot [19:32] <DumbleDebbie> it likely matches that [19:33] <FawkesFlames> I think that the wand might retain a bit of the person who previously owned it [19:33] <SoonerGryffindor> August [19:33] <harryfreak359> in August right? [19:33] <fw00per> the wood I think would be holly to match Harry's [19:33] <MrMcGonagall> True, FW [19:33] <SoonerGryffindor> 11th [19:33] <fw00per> haha - not a snot [19:33] <emeraldflames> she does have hand-me-down robes [19:33] <danae24> I dont remember... [19:33] <emeraldflames> tom riddle mentions her complaining about that in the diary [19:33] <harrypotterfreak4> i think her wood would be holly [19:33] <Poet> She's a Leo just like Harry. [19:33] <Pellinore> I always figured a smart wizard would keep the old wand as a backup at least.. heck i'd have 5 wands just in case i droped or had one expelled [19:33] <BrettMac> Well...i gotta go. bye guys [19:33] <harryfreak359> Yeah she is [19:33] <futureweasley> not so much "hand-me-down", but second hand, yes [19:33] <harryfreak359> bye Brett [19:33] <An_Eternal_Night> I would have thought it was willow, if Ron's hadn't been willow [19:33] *** BrettMac has quit [Bye] [19:33] <SoonerGryffindor> bye Brett [19:33] <Aislinn> bye brett [19:33] <DumbleDebbie> Auguest is Hazel on Jo's site [19:33] <nympheart> bye brett [19:33] <Shard> Bye Bret [19:33] <MrMcGonagall> Oh, that's right, emerald. [19:33] <FawkesFlames> I don't think her wand would match Harry's [19:33] <futureweasley> Does Ginny embody the traits of a typical Weasley? What makes her simiar or different from her brothers and which Weasley family member does she seem the most like? [19:34] <danae24> they go by the Irish wood thingy.... [19:34] <fw00per> I think her wood would match Harry's, but not the core [19:34] <harrypotterfreak4> i think she's like fred and george [19:34] <fawkes28> i think her sense of humor - they almost all have that in some way [19:34] <Aislinn> I think she is very like the twins [19:34] <FawkesFlames> yeah she is most like Fred and George [19:34] <Poet> She has a little of Ron's and Mrs. Weasley's "temper" [19:34] <fw00per> same here hpf [19:34] <SoonerGryffindor> I think she is most like a mixture of Fred, George, and Molly [19:34] <futureweasley> lol fawkes, I like that too [19:34] <emeraldflames> She's like Fred and George [19:34] <Pellinore> She seems to be her own person but closest to Bill [19:34] <danae24> She has a bit of everyone [19:34] <harryfreak359> I think she is a weasley, she is most like Fred and George for sure [19:34] <Aislinn> daring, with a good sense of humor [19:34] <FawkesFlames> She learned a lot from them growing up in my opinion [19:34] <Shard> I think Ginny's favors the rebels, Bill and the Twins [19:34] <MrMcGonagall> I think so, too, Sooner. [19:34] <daretodream2> Ginny has her brothers sense of humor and wanting to get into trouble for a good cause [19:34] <futureweasley> she is hilarious, loves a good joke, but still has a sense of "duty". From what we know of him, I think she's most like Bill [19:34] <Shard> Bill with his long hair and earring [19:34] <SoonerGryffindor> she definitely has her mother's temper [19:34] <FawkesFlames> She definately will bend the rules [19:34] <DumbleDebbie> Bill, twins, Molly [19:35] <FawkesFlames> and that's like Fred and George [19:35] <Poet> I can imagine that they are the coolest among those that she would have hung out with, close to her age (the twins) [19:35] <DumbleDebbie> lol [19:35] <fawkes28> she is definitely more relaxed and carefree than some of her siblings [19:35] <harryfreak359> yes I agree Shard, becuase she is a rebel in a way, being the only girl, she has to be [19:35] <fw00per> she also gets fired up every now and then [19:35] <danae24> she does admire Bill a lot....... [19:35] <harryfreak359> indeed, Fawkes [19:35] <FawkesFlames> she is similar to Molly [19:35] <futureweasley> oh, I don't think she's like Molly at all. Hermione has the peg on that market [19:35] <Aislinn> I don't think she is like Molly either [19:35] <emeraldflames> I agree FW [19:35] <FawkesFlames> I think she would get rather fierce when her friends are attacked [19:35] <SoonerGryffindor> I think she hero worships Bill almost, but that she is most like the Twins as far as her brothers go [19:35] <harryfreak359> She has a little bit of Molly in her I think [19:35] <DumbleDebbie> Hermione is more like her in the nuturing FW [19:35] <daretodream2> I agree fw, ginny is more laid back [19:35] <nympheart> i agree, sooner [19:35] <Aislinn> She is much too free spirited and willing to break rules to be like Molly [19:35] <harrypotterfreak4> but in the books it talks about ginny giving "molly-like" looks [19:35] <fw00per> I think she has some Molly in her [19:35] <Poet> Too true futureweasley . She is quite laid back. [19:35] <DumbleDebbie> She's got Molly's fire though [19:35] <Shard> Molly is a little uptight [19:35] <futureweasley> yes, Ginny is "chill" when Molly is on fire [19:36] <danae24> lol future! [19:36] <fw00per> nailed it dumbledebbie [19:36] <SoonerGryffindor> and she has Molly's temper [19:36] <Shard> Molly and Percy are more alike [19:36] <danae24> how? [19:36] <DumbleDebbie> right sooner [19:36] <FawkesFlames> I think Ginny could definately be fierce if her friends, those she loved, were in danger [19:36] <FawkesFlames> I think molly is like that too [19:36] <DumbleDebbie> definitely FF [19:36] <Pellinore> she's still young yet so its hard to compare personallities when she's still a way to discover her's entirely [19:36] <nympheart> she has been FF [19:36] <harrypotterfreak4> i think she has molly's temper, fred and george's sense of humor [19:36] <Aislinn> fierce yes, but not the day to day personality of her mom [19:36] <FawkesFlames> Molly does what she does to protect people [19:36] <SoonerGryffindor> Molly is a rule-breaker. she is in the OotP [19:36] <harryfreak359> Yes I agree, Sooner, and FF [19:36] <nympheart> true sooner, she snuck out with Arthur one night [19:36] <danae24> Molly protects those she loves, same with Ginny [19:37] <Shard> Not as much as one as her other family members [19:37] <Aislinn> I think she is very little like her Mom [19:37] <fw00per> yes danae [19:37] <FawkesFlames> no she isn't like Molly all day everyday but I believe she has some of Molly's temperment in her [19:37] <Poet> And she's a Quidditch player, so she has the additional connection to the twins that makes her similar to them. Ron's a quidditch player as well, but Ginny has the twins confidence [19:37] <SoonerGryffindor> I bet Molly was quite a handful in her younger days [19:37] <Aislinn> much closer to the twins, and possibly Bill [19:37] <Shard> The weasley's are very loyal to each other, expect Percy [19:37] <danae24> she stands for the underdogs......... Neville and Luna [19:37] <fawkes28> quite true, poet [19:37] <An_Eternal_Night> yes Sooner, she and Arthur went on midnight walks at Hogwarts, didn't they? [19:37] <FawkesFlames> I agree Shard [19:37] <Pellinore> Molly was the 7th of 7 to correct? [19:37] <SoonerGryffindor> before becoming a mom made her more responsible [19:37] <daretodream2> true danae [19:37] <FawkesFlames> and Ginny is vehement about Percy's descent [19:37] <MrMcGonagall> I think she's perhaps like Molly used to be. I think Ginny will follow a different path as an adult, though. [19:37] <SoonerGryffindor> yes AEN [19:37] <futureweasley> well, whatever the Weasley kids have, they got from both Molly AND Arthur. So, it's fair to say that they all have a little "Molly" in them someewhere [19:37] <Poet> sure [19:38] <fw00per> I see her quidditch playing as her own - she doesn't play positions her older brothers have [19:38] <harryfreak359> I agree Fw [19:38] <FawkesFlames> She acts as though she hates Percy because he was no longer loyal [19:38] <daretodream2> agree fw [19:38] <Shard> Thats a good point FW [19:38] <Aislinn> Molly has a traditional streak in her that I don't see in Ginny [19:38] <Pellinore> at least half of their DNA ;) [19:38] <SoonerGryffindor> arent all of us women more like our moms that we wish/or admit to being? [19:38] <Shard> Well Ginny did play Seeker [19:38] <DumbleDebbie> lol Sooner [19:38] <harryfreak359> yeah, true Sooner [19:38] <Shard> Though do we know what Charlie played? [19:38] <harrypotterfreak4> i don't think she hates percy, i think she's disappointed in him for betraying the family [19:38] <nympheart> I think Ginny may develop that streak [19:38] <daretodream2> I'm not going there sooner [19:38] <futureweasley> urm, yep Sooner... [19:38] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [19:38] <harryfreak359> lol [19:38] <Aislinn> there are always aspects of our mothers in all of us, yes [19:38] <danae24> but her stron point in Quidditch is Chaser [19:38] <fw00per> charlie was seeker [19:38] <Shard> I'm more like my mom... [19:38] <Aislinn> but not her primary qualities [19:38] <futureweasley> In book 1 after Ginny found out who Harry was, she wanted to run back into the train to get a better look at him. What are your thoughts on this scene and what does it tell us about Ginny? [19:38] <FawkesFlames> Charlie was seeker I think [19:38] <Poet> Mr. Weasley is a Muggle-lover, so perhaps some of Ginny's standing up for the underdog grew out of seeing her dad [19:38] <fw00per> but she prefers chaser [19:39] <SoonerGryffindor> that she is not afraid [19:39] <DumbleDebbie> I think it's adorable [19:39] <danae24> That she grew up admiring Harry...... [19:39] <Shard> Ginny was very young at this point and yes very Gryffindorish [19:39] <SoonerGryffindor> she's so open emotionally [19:39] <emeraldflames> yeah, it shows that she's not afraid [19:39] <MrMcGonagall> Early fascination with Harry [19:39] <harrypotterfreak4> she'd heard the stories of Harry and wanted to see him [19:39] <daretodream2> she grew up hearing his name and wanted to meet him [19:39] <Aislinn> I think she knew what she was interested in, right from an early age [19:39] <fw00per> hero worship and fascination [19:39] <fawkes28> yes, it definitely shows her gryffindor qualities [19:39] <danae24> not in the devoted fan way, but rather in the "I admire him" way [19:39] <FawkesFlames> I think it shows that she's admired and heard good things about him but she's also fearless [19:39] <Floridagirl8192> wow, quidditch is sure the weasley's sport [19:39] <Aislinn> right danae [19:39] <SoonerGryffindor> oh, it sets up her and Harry's relationship right from the beginning [19:39] <Pellinore> she admired the myth and the Weasley's must have shown some kind of admiration in telling the tale that she picked up on [19:39] <futureweasley> I think she thought him a fictional character...someone to be looked up to, like a "fable". When she found out her was real, it was like Christmas...a gift [19:39] <Aislinn> it does, sooner smile [19:39] <Floridagirl8192> did percy play quidditch? [19:39] <Poet> She's a romantic - even in her child-like way? Harry's story as a baby is a "romantic" one in some ways - boy survives.... [19:39] <FawkesFlames> her fear to be around him sure set it up in Chamber [19:39] <danae24> No [19:40] <fawkes28> it was like he was a celebrity - she grew up hearing his name and was curious and in awe [19:40] <Shard> I agree SG, Jo set up that scene to be very nostogica "Where mommy and Daddy first met:" kind of thing [19:40] <harrypotterfreak4> lol, i can't see percy playing quidditch [19:40] <MrMcGonagall> Me too, Sooner. I saw the first anvil drop on the platform in Book 1. [19:40] <SoonerGryffindor> it does also show that the Weasley family are not supporters of you-know-who if she wanted to go run and see them [19:40] <SoonerGryffindor> me too [19:40] <fw00per> awww shard that's cute [19:40] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, that's sweet Shard [19:40] <Pellinore> could have been an infatuation that once she learned more about Harry, wore off [19:40] <FawkesFlames> she talked about it in HBP [19:40] <fw00per> or intensified [19:40] <Shard> Once she saw through the Rockstar image yes I think Ginny really began to value Harry more [19:40] <Aislinn> actually, shard, that is where Jo's parents met, so that makes a lot of sense [19:40] <FawkesFlames> she said that Hermione told her to get over it and ease u [19:40] <FawkesFlames> up^ [19:41] <MrMcGonagall> Oooh, good catch, Aislinn. [19:41] <Poet> Ooo, Aislinn, I almost forgot that bit of info [19:41] <Shard> That's what I was talking about Aislinn and what convinced me of H/G [19:41] <SoonerGryffindor> back to the scene in book 1: What were your impressions of Gnny here? [19:41] *** cbm has joined #lounge [19:41] <DumbleDebbie> lol I thoughtt hat's what Shard meant [19:41] <fw00per> hi cbm [19:41] <cbm> hi again! [19:41] <futureweasley> wb cbm [19:41] <DumbleDebbie> oh he did lol [19:41] <An_Eternal_Night> hi cbm [19:41] <nympheart> hi cbm [19:41] <danae24> she was just a curious girl, trying to meet a legend [19:41] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it was so great that she was this carefree little girl running and crying following the train also [19:41] <fw00per> cute, eager, full of energy [19:41] <Shard> I think Ginny shows a senbse of adventureism by wanting to run back on the train [19:41] <nympheart> a bit immature too [19:41] <futureweasley> Ginny was adorable, like someone opened her eyes to heroes that day [19:41] <Shard> That she is definatly not a quite sit in a corner girl [19:42] <danae24> she was 10 [19:42] <fw00per> she fears nothing but loneliness [19:42] <Aislinn> it endeared her to me right away [19:42] <Pellinore> impressionable child with a strong sense of curiousity and willingness to follow through and not hide in embaressement (not entirely) [19:42] <harryfreak359> Yes, I agree Future [19:42] <emeraldflames> I think it's a good example of the 14 year old spitfire we'll later meet [19:42] <SoonerGryffindor> she was 10 and I think that showed a lot of spunkiness for that age [19:42] <futureweasley> me too Sooner [19:42] <daretodream2> yes it did, sooner [19:42] <Shard> Agreed Sooner [19:42] <danae24> or her first crush...... [19:42] <futureweasley> very astute observation... [19:42] <fw00per> she wasn't embarrassed either [19:42] <SoonerGryffindor> nope [19:42] *** WaggaWaggaWerewolf has joined #lounge [19:42] <fw00per> hi wagga [19:42] <nympheart> hi www [19:42] <daretodream2> hi www [19:42] <Aislinn> hi wagga [19:42] <DumbleDebbie> hi wagga [19:42] <FawkesFlames> I thought it was just like any ten year old who'd want to meet someone they grew up knowing about [19:42] <harrypotterfreak4> lo wagga [19:42] <Poet> With six older brothers she's learned to stand up for herself [19:42] <Shard> Hi Wagga! [19:43] <An_Eternal_Night> hi Wagga [19:43] <futureweasley> The next year that we see Ginny at the Burrow, she seems to act completely differently around Harry than she does around her family. What do you think of how Ginny dealt with this whole situation? [19:43] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hello. [19:43] <Shard> Shes had to, she doesn't want to be overshadowed but she doesn't do it in a woe is me like Ron does [19:43] <fw00per> I was like that around a guy I liked - it made sense to me [19:43] <danae24> she deal like any tween with a crush......... all shy and stuff [19:43] <FawkesFlames> she was young and in awe of him and probably thought he was rather cute [19:43] <nympheart> she was very self-conscious [19:43] <Aislinn> I think it is natural for a girl with a crush as big as hers to act shy around the object of the crush [19:43] <Shard> Ginny dealt with the abscence of her brothers [19:43] <Shard> Probably all alone [19:43] <FawkesFlames> she dealt with it the way most young girls deal with a crush [19:43] <cbm> Which year are we talking about? [19:43] <Poet> It's always a bit weird to to have members of the opposite sex that aren't your brothers in the house [19:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I felt so sorry for Ginny in this scenario [19:43] <Pellinore> started to get shy about her fealings and didn't know how to deal with it... typical for that age. [19:43] <harrypotterfreak4> it's different to meet a guy you like in a public setting than it is in your own home [19:43] <Shard> Maybe she went and talked to Luna *g* [19:44] *** amyluhu has joined #lounge [19:44] <Aislinn> CoS, cbm [19:44] <DumbleDebbie> hi amyluhu [19:44] <futureweasley> well, she was blathering on like a 12 year old SHOULD blather on! She was embarassed and panicky.. [19:44] <emeraldflames> I think the difference between the first book and second book is very telling, when dealing with her crush [19:44] <daretodream2> well I think the person she has always wanted to meet is actually staying in the house and she is a little thrown by it. [19:44] <SoonerGryffindor> you have to admit that she handled it very well considering the circumstances [19:44] <fawkes28> plus she was in her own territory - so she could feel more comfortable [19:44] *** ProngsPatronus has joined #lounge [19:44] <Aislinn> yes d2d, it is different to have him face to face [19:44] <danae24> yes..... it's more dificult for her to hide the fact that she really likes Harry [19:44] <fw00per> she wasn't exactly expecting him [19:44] <DumbleDebbie> hi PP [19:44] <nympheart> hi PP [19:44] <fawkes28> hi prongs [19:44] <SoonerGryffindor> hi Prongs [19:44] <Aislinn> hi prongs [19:44] <FawkesFlames> g2g guys things to do [19:44] <amyluhu> What's the topic?

[19:45] *** hrh7 has joined #lounge
[19:45] <MrMcGonagall> I enjoyed picturing her during that year she was still at home, daydreaming about Harry, and then he comes to stay at the Burrow in Book 2. [19:45] <SoonerGryffindor> can you imagine if someone really famous that you had a crush on came to live with you for a monthh? [19:45] <futureweasley> she was in her PJ's looking for a sweater. She had no time to "primp" like most pre-adolescent girls would have wanted to do, and she handled it like a champ [19:45] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> bye flames [19:45] <Poet> Also, she's about to go off to Hogwarts and will be around Harry all the time. She may just be starting to wonder how to act around him [19:45] <DumbleDebbie> hi hrh7 [19:45] <ProngsPatronus> what is the question? [19:45] <SoonerGryffindor> and you were only 11 years old??? [19:45] <daretodream2> true future [19:45] <DumbleDebbie> lol, would be awkward Sooner [19:45] <Aislinn> that would be really overwhelming, sooner [19:45] <fw00per> yes sooner [19:45] <danae24> well........ the whole sweater thing was just a Klove-ism........ it isnt on the books [19:45] <harrypotterfreak4> too true sooner [19:45] <harryfreak359> That would be a little scary Sooner lol [19:45] <An_Eternal_Night> Ginny definitely acted how most people would act [19:45] <fw00per> I'd freak out [19:45] <futureweasley> me too [19:45] <SoonerGryffindor> the fact that she came back out of her room shows she is brave IMO [19:46] <amyluhu> i don't know prongs. i came late too. [19:46] <Poet> Funny SoonerGryffindor - I'd never thought of that, but you are right in my opinion [19:46] <danae24> but it still akward to suddenly the guy you have feelings for in your kitchen [19:46] <SoonerGryffindor> right now we are talking about Ginny guys [19:46] <fawkes28> it was a good time for her to do some observing - she was more concerned with harry than he was with her [19:46] <cbm> She was meeting a rock star and was awe struck. [19:46] <futureweasley> I would have hid under my bed for weeks, personally [19:46] <futureweasley> lol [19:46] <amyluhu> thanks sooner [19:46] <DumbleDebbie> lol FW [19:46] <danae24> Me too futur [19:46] <Pellinore> hehe fw smile [19:46] <emeraldflames> same FW [19:47] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> like having the Queen dropping into afternoon tea when the house is a mess. (gulp) [19:47] <futureweasley> Like every other Weasley, Ginny was sorted into Gryffindor. Was there ever any other house that she could have potentially been sorted into? [19:47] <SoonerGryffindor> me too fw [19:47] * danae24 is sucking at typing today [19:47] <harrypotterfreak4> ravenclaw [19:47] <Poet> I seriously can't see her in any other house [19:47] <Aislinn> nope - she is Gryffindor through and through [19:47] <fw00per> ravenclaw [19:47] <danae24> not really........ [19:47] <nympheart> I think she's very gryffindor [19:47] <SoonerGryffindor> I honestly have to say that I only see her as a Gryffindor [19:47] <Shard> Never! It's all Gryffindor [19:47] <DumbleDebbie> she's 100% Gryff IMO [19:47] <harryfreak359> me too danae smile [19:47] <Pleshette> Nah, I think she's all Gryffindor [19:47] <fawkes28> i actually think gryffindor fits her perfectly [19:47] <emeraldflames> yeah, she's 100% Gryffindor [19:47] <daretodream2> I can't see her in another house personally [19:47] <MrMcGonagall> No, she's definitely Gryffindor. [19:47] <Shard> I would say she is less hasty then her brothers [19:47] <danae24> she is a 110% gryffindor [19:47] <amyluhu> she is pretty smart so maybe ravenclaw but i don't know [19:47] <harrypotterfreak4> she's very smart, but gryffindor suits her to a tee [19:47] <harryfreak359> No she's a gryffindor perfectily [19:47] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Later on in the books a Slytherin tendency though [19:47] <Shard> Buit she is very Gryffindor [19:47] <emeraldflames> I wonder if the diary would've done anything to try and get her into Slytherin, though [19:47] <SoonerGryffindor> which is funny because most of the other characters have an inner "someting" else [19:47] <fawkes28> it's funny because i usually see most characters in more than one house, but not her [19:47] <harryfreak359> can't imagine her as anything else [19:47] <nympheart> I agree WWW [19:47] <futureweasley> well, she's 100% Gryffindor, but I love her "equal opportunity" attitude, and her smarts are off the charts, too [19:47] <Shard> 'Growing up with the Twins, you start think anything is possible" [19:48] <fw00per> I think she has qualities of each, but Gryffindor is clearly the strongest [19:48] <DumbleDebbie> interesting emerald [19:48] <Aislinn> I think that her qualities of being feisty and fiery, and the way she sticks up for Neville and Luna all are so consistent with the Gryffindor qualities [19:48] <danae24> I agree with amyluhu........ she is smart, but not Ravenclaw smart [19:48] *** Val_Halla has joined #lounge [19:48] <SoonerGryffindor> I was about to mention that wagga. I think that she does have slight Slytherin qualities [19:48] <DumbleDebbie> hi VH [19:48] <ProngsPatronus> and I find that troubling in some sense [19:48] <SoonerGryffindor> hi VH [19:48] <Val_Halla> hi [19:48] <ProngsPatronus> hey, VH [19:48] <Pleshette> Well, I think everyone has traces of other house qualities, but I could never consider her a Slytherin [19:48] <An_Eternal_Night> she has a fiery personality, and, after all, Gryffindor's element is fire [19:48] <nympheart> true AEN [19:48] <Shard> Ginny is very fair to others is true, so she might have slight Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw qualities but I don't think this is a child that ever doubted what house she should be in [19:48] <danae24> maybe Hufflepuff, because she never makes anyone aside....... even if they are in different houses [19:48] <Pellinore> i see it more that she's been hanging around the Twins to long ;o [19:48] <Aislinn> I don't see Slytherin tendencies in her [19:48] <amyluhu> well i think she has a good balance of smart and fun so she wouldn't want to be in ravenclaw [19:48] <SoonerGryffindor> its funny just how much of a Gryffindor that she really is [19:48] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> telling her mother porkies is definitely Slytherin [19:48] *** daretodream2 has quit [Bye] [19:49] <fw00per> fred and george have slytherin qualities too, but it's not the evil sort [19:49] <SoonerGryffindor> that is another trait that she shares with the twins as well [19:49] <nympheart> she was after Harry, I'd call that ambitious [19:49] <cbm> I wish we could of found out how long the sorting hat was on her head [19:49] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> true. Ginny most like the twins [19:49] <Aislinn> she can sometimes act like a bratty sister, but all sisters do that [19:49] <ProngsPatronus> well, her ambition was to be with Harry, and she pursued that ambition with a single-mindedness that was amazing [19:49] <amyluhu> i don't think that is slytherin qualities i think they have weasley qualities [19:49] <futureweasley> What makes Ginny a Gryffindor? [19:49] <Pleshette> But she never pursued Harry, she waited [19:49] <futureweasley> what works better, sorry [19:49] <danae24> and being the only female, we can somewhat understand her brattyness [19:49] <SoonerGryffindor> Her braver, her fire [19:50] <harrypotterfreak4> she's smart, brave, and talented [19:50] <fawkes28> she doesnt have much fear - very brave [19:50] <DumbleDebbie> she stands her ground [19:50] <SoonerGryffindor> her drive to succeed and do what is right [19:50] <Aislinn> Her qualities of bravery, fiestiness, fiery temper, as well as the way she looks out for others [19:50] <danae24> her bravery..... even to stand to Tom Riddle [19:50] <Shard> sShe is willing to do anything for family and friends [19:50] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> able to stand up to big brothers, stand up for other students, brave in front of new experiences [19:50] <MrMcGonagall> Kind of bossy. [19:50] *** Poet has quit [Bye] [19:50] <amyluhu> brave smart loyal fun [19:50] <fw00per> red hair, bravery, talented, sense of fairness [19:50] <emeraldflames> she sticks up for what she believes in [19:50] <fawkes28> she is passionate [19:50] <Shard> She stood up to Malfoy in CoS [19:50] <Pleshette> all of the above wink [19:50] <amyluhu> oh yeah a little bossy like her mum [19:50] <harryfreak359> She's brave, stands up for what she believes in, passionate, and has a prankster/fun side. [19:50] <Aislinn> standing up for others is very much a Gryffindor trait, I think [19:50] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> No I don't see Ginny as bossy. Hermione yes, but not Ginny [19:50] <fw00per> wb Pleshette [19:50] <Aislinn> agreed wagga [19:50] <MrMcGonagall> Ginny has no problem telling Ron where to get off. [19:51] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> hi pleshette [19:51] <An_Eternal_Night> she is chivalrous, brave, doesn't hold back... she is quite the Gryffindor [19:51] <danae24> Ginny has traits of leadership....... not bossiness [19:51] <harryfreak359> No definitely not lol [19:51] <DumbleDebbie> lol Mr M [19:51] <nympheart> Ginny is a bit bossy, she ordered her brothers out of her love life [19:51] <amyluhu> that's my point mr mc [19:51] * Pleshette waves at everyone [19:51] <Aislinn> that's being a sister Mr M [19:51] <harryfreak359> hi Pleshette! [19:51] <DumbleDebbie> hi Pleshette smile [19:51] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> That is not bossy. [19:51] <Aislinn> nothing wrong with that [19:51] <fw00per> that's telling it like it is [19:51] <Pleshette> I'm not sure if that's bossiness [19:51] <Shard> Thats because that is sibling rivarly [19:51] <amyluhu> you have to be a bit bossy with all of those brothers [19:51] <harrypotterfreak4> that's not bossiness, that's asking for common curtousy [19:51] <Shard> Ginny speaks her mind [19:51] <MrMcGonagall> She put the smackdown on some of her exes, though, too. [19:51] <Pellinore> that's more defensive [19:51] <Aislinn> she was sticking up for herself [19:51] <futureweasley> her bravery is just unmatched. but, she still has the sense to have logic. Not the crazy kind of logic Hermione sometimes runs away with...logic that makes sense [19:51] <Shard> Even to Harry [19:51] <fw00per> lol MrM [19:51] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> They never had any right in her love life in the first place. Would they have liked such dabbling in their own affairs? [19:51] <cbm> That is not bossy, that is standing up for yourself [19:51] <Pellinore> bossiness = offensive [19:52] <amyluhu> good point aislinn [19:52] <futureweasley> What made Lucius give the diary to Ginny? Was she just the easiest target or was there more to it? [19:52] <nympheart> they were offended, they were only trying to help her [19:52] <DumbleDebbie> i like that FW lol "logic that makes sense" [19:52] <fw00per> young=vulnerable in his mind [19:52] <Val_Halla> Well, it needed to be one of Arthur's children [19:52] <Aislinn> that's an interesting question [19:52] <DumbleDebbie> probably because she was a girl, and the youngest [19:52] <fawkes28> i think he mainly wanted to get back at arthur [19:52] <Pleshette> She was a newbie Weasley student [19:52] <harrypotterfreak4> she made it easy to do a little "slight of hand" [19:52] <amyluhu> easy target and he wanted to do something bad to a weasley [19:52] <danae24> Yes, Lucius thought that Ginny, being the only girl in a big family would have felt missunderstood........ [19:52] <nympheart> I think it's because the opportunity presented itself and he knew she'd keep the diary more likely than one of the boys [19:52] <cbm> He wanted to derail every thing her father was doing [19:52] <SoonerGryffindor> I think Lucius thought she would be the easiest swayed by the diary [19:52] <fawkes28> and she was in a convenient spot at the time [19:52] <Pellinore> Lucious may have thought that the youngest and or a girl would be more likely to write in a diary [19:52] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Assertiveness is not the same as bossiness. Hermione wants other people to do things, while Ginny just wants them to butt out [19:52] <DumbleDebbie> like a bully going for what he thought was teh weakest target (fooled him) [19:52] <An_Eternal_Night> well, she is "Arthur Weasley's daughter" as Dumbledore put it [19:52] <MrMcGonagall> Easy target, nd a way to get back at the Weasleys. [19:53] <SoonerGryffindor> and its more of a "girl" thing to have a diary [19:53] <Aislinn> I think she was convenient too fawkes [19:53] <Pleshette> right Debbie [19:53] <ProngsPatronus> she was the one with the cauldron! [19:53] <Floridagirl8192> at the time lucius didnt know what i t was, so i would say she was an easy target [19:53] <Val_Halla> Girls are also more likely to keep a diary, I think [19:53] <danae24> that too [19:53] <Aislinn> He was looking to get rid of an object that could have landed him in Azkaban [19:53] <futureweasley> ickle firstie Ginny...no "girlfriends", she was an easy target. Like a kid taking candy from a man outside of HoneyDukes [19:53] <fawkes28> he knew she would be a first year and have insecurities - perfect target [19:53] <fw00per> I hadn't though of the girl and diary thing, but that makes sense [19:53] <Pleshette> oh future, that's a creepy thought [19:53] <danae24> Ye was the vulnerable one......... she needed to vent somehow [19:53] <DumbleDebbie> yes, disturbing image FW [19:54] <SoonerGryffindor> I also think that in retropsect, Lucius could not have picked a worse candidate to give it to. Bad for LV's side, I mean [19:54] <Pleshette> but true [19:54] <fawkes28> right, aislinn - he was selfish and also wanted to possibily cause trouble for the weasley's [19:54] <DumbleDebbie> right Sooner [19:54] <cbm> But I think the main reason she was a target is because of who her father was, in addition to what everyone else is saying [19:54] <Aislinn> that's probably true sooner [19:54] <Pleshette> I agree cbm [19:54] <Floridagirl8192> i agree, sooner [19:54] <DumbleDebbie> of all the Weasley's she seems to me internally the strongest [19:54] <fw00per> Lucius wouldn't have known that though [19:54] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> And if it got Arthurs children into trouble so much the better. Lucius not so luscious after all [19:54] <Aislinn> yes, fawkes - I think he saw it as a convenient way to cause Arthur trouble [19:54] *** wemisscedric has joined #lounge [19:54] <DumbleDebbie> hi wemisscedric [19:54] <Aislinn> while protecting himself at the same tie [19:54] <SoonerGryffindor> its only because of Ginny that diary tom riddle stopped going after muggleborns [19:54] <fw00per> hi wemisscedric [19:54] <Aislinn> time [19:54] <Pellinore> but Lucious may not realise who the strongest Weasley is nor really care [19:54] <amyluhu> good point wagga\ [19:54] <Shard> Do you think he picked Ginny or only the closet Weasley at the time?? [19:55] <cbm> But DD, did the diary make her strong, or was she strong before? [19:55] <harrypotterfreak4> right, if a weasly would have been caught with something that could be linked back to Voldemort, Aurthur would have lost his job and made Lucious's much easier [19:55] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, looking for an opportunity, and an unbelievable one presents itself. [19:55] <Val_Halla> Lucius wanted very much to discredit Arthur and his Muggle protection Act [19:55] <DumbleDebbie> strong before cbm [19:55] <futureweasley> According to Jo, Ginny is definitely in no way possessed by Voldemort. Nor is she a Parselmouth, and she does not have a life debt to Harry from Book 2. Why do you think that Jo selected Ginny to be the one to open the Chamber of Secrets? [19:55] <Aislinn> yes Val [19:55] <Pleshette> I think Ginny was a deliberate choice [19:55] <cbm> I think so also [19:55] <amyluhu> yep potter freak 4 [19:55] <Shard> She was strong before, Jo said that whatever Tom put her left when tyhe Diary was destroyed [19:55] <DumbleDebbie> strong enough to fight the diary [19:55] *** SoonerGryffindor has quit [Bye] [19:55] *** SoonerGryffindor has joined #lounge [19:55] <Shard> To have her go through the same fire that Harry as been through [19:55] <fw00per> hmmm..... [19:55] <Pleshette> It gives her that unique bond with Harry [19:55] <cbm> So harry could save her! [19:55] <Aislinn> I think she needed to keep Ginny in the middle of the story [19:55] <harrypotterfreak4> it solidifies Ginny and Harry's relationship later on in the book [19:55] <fawkes28> to show us that she does play a role in the series [19:55] <Pellinore> Hero saves the girl to be his Wife.. how romatic ;) [19:55] <Aislinn> yes, shard [19:55] <danae24> I think so...... she would be the last person anyone of us would have thought would open the chamber [19:56] <Val_Halla> The trio had to be specially motivated to help whoever it was [19:56] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Closest and most vulnerable. Apart from Lockhart's books the one most likely to have a lot of second hand books [19:56] <DumbleDebbie> it's so romatic that Harry saves her happy_crying [19:56] <MrMcGonagall> Total contrast. The person we'd never suspect. [19:56] <fw00per> I agree with al [19:56] <Pellinore> er, Romantic.. may have smelled good to ;o [19:56] <An_Eternal_Night> it was quite a shock for the reader, very unexpected [19:56] <fw00per> *all [19:56] <Shard> I agree Danae [19:56] <fawkes28> i think she also wanted to creating a "bonding" experience between her and harry [19:56] <Pleshette> She's the only one to understand what Harry went through [19:56] <Val_Halla> It also furthered the rmoance between Ginny and Harry [19:56] <SoonerGryffindor> I think that its vital to the plot that Ginny has gone through that as well [19:56] <harrypotterfreak4> ginny knows what it's like to have voldemort in her head, so it allows harry to speak to her about it [19:56] <Aislinn> yes fawkes, I think that was part of it [19:56] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Sooner. [19:56] <danae24> That too Pleshette [19:56] <futureweasley> I think that Ginny was the natural choice. She was the only "Weasley" how hadn't shown all their personality traits, yet [19:56] <Floridagirl8192> i agree fawkes [19:56] <SoonerGryffindor> she can tell us in OotP that Harry really was not possessed [19:56] <amyluhu> it gave a good base for the feelings to pop up between them later [19:56] <Aislinn> And the fact that it makes them be able to relate to each other even more, as the grow older, as both have had to deal with LV [19:57] <DumbleDebbie> yes, Sooner. to solidify her character as a fighter and a survivor [19:57] <futureweasley> right Sooner...that was very important! [19:57] <wemisscedric> exactly, they needed someone not directly connected to voldemort, but enough so that it was necessacery for the trio, mainly harry fight another battle with voldemort [19:57] <Pellinore> true FW, not like Ginny has gotten much exposition since then. [19:57] <Shard> That is true Sooner, so it's important that Ginny has these experiences and I think she revists them in PoA when that Dementor showed up on the train [19:57] <harrypotterfreak4> and it makes the fight between her and voldemort more personal [19:57] <Pleshette> Definitely Shard [19:57] <wemisscedric> yess [19:57] <fw00per> it elevates her to Harry's status as well [19:57] <ProngsPatronus> commonality of experience was vital for a future Ginny/Harry relationship [19:57] <DumbleDebbie> yep Shard [19:57] <SoonerGryffindor> Harry is going to need a bunch of tools at his disposal and Ginny having been possessed by LV will help a lot, I think [19:57] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Also Ginny stood up later for Harry against Hermione [19:57] <amyluhu> agree pp [19:57] *** daretodream2 has joined #lounge [19:58] <Shard> Thats true, I read an essay on how what happened to Ginny was a violation to her, a "mental rape" if you will [19:58] <DumbleDebbie> wb d2d [19:58] <An_Eternal_Night> very good point Prongs [19:58] <Shard> And she needs payback [19:58] <danae24> Ginny will help Harry understand a lot of thing after what she has been thru [19:58] <SoonerGryffindor> without Ginny, Harry is his own island when it comes to a lot of things [19:58] <amyluhu> yes sooner [19:58] <Shard> Ginny is also a promise for the future, something for Harry to fight for [19:58] <Pellinore> Also a stong way to earn Harry and other character's respect [19:58] <Shard> and LIVE for more importantly [19:58] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I'd have seen it that way, Shard. I agree with that summation [19:58] <fw00per> awww Shard's all romantic tonight [19:58] <futureweasley> What do you think is the significance that Ginny is the only one besides Harry to ever have had LV in their head? [19:58] <Shard> Yes I am I can' [19:58] <Shard> t help it [19:59] <MrMcGonagall> Besides Quirrell? [19:59] <DumbleDebbie> they're made for each other smile [19:59] <MrMcGonagall> lol [19:59] <harrypotterfreak4> she understands him better [19:59] <DumbleDebbie> lol [19:59] <SoonerGryffindor> okay... living people [19:59] <Pellinore> hehe MrM [19:59] <nympheart> shipping wise, they can identify with each other better [19:59] <harrypotterfreak4> and in a way no one else can [19:59] <amyluhu> It connects the 2 in an intimate way [19:59] <fawkes28> she is the only one who can come close to truly understand harry [19:59] <fw00per> yes fawkes [19:59] <fawkes28> thus it creates some type of deep connection between them [19:59] <daretodream2> I think it connects them in some way [19:59] <Pellinore> and may have insite into LV's motivations/personallity at least [19:59] <DumbleDebbie> she can understand harry in a way that no one else can andsome of what he's been through [19:59] <fawkes28> which may be a powerful mental weapon [19:59] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> You can see that understanding sort of developing at the beginning of POA. [19:59] <fw00per> that romantic link again :-) [19:59] <harrypotterfreak4> and i think that voldemort may think that she's and easy target to get to harry, but he would be sorely mistaken [19:59] <Aislinn> it definitely creates a connection [19:59] <Pleshette> Maybe she'll be the one to draw him back from some sort of possession or alternate state brought by V later on [19:59] <futureweasley> They are just connected in most every way. [19:59] <wemisscedric> it makes there relationship more intertwined, in a sad and tormented way [19:59] <SoonerGryffindor> Again, it makes Harry not so alone with things that he has experienced [20:00] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it goes way beyond shipping [20:00] <Shard> It may mean that Ginny can have a part in helping Harry defeat Voldmort [20:00] <wemisscedric> yes, thats what I believe [20:00] <danae24> you're right Shard!!! [20:00] <DumbleDebbie> that would be a very strong shared experience bond [20:00] <Aislinn> yes, sooner - and he needs that so much, given his isolation through his fame and his role in the prophecy [20:00] <SoonerGryffindor> there is now someone who he can relate to and has experienced this with him [20:00] <Shard> It gives Harry more support that's for sure [20:00] <SoonerGryffindor> right Aislinn [20:00] <harryfreak359> yes, I agree Shard [20:00] <fw00per> intimate understanding [20:00] <Pellinore> hehe, Harry gets possesed by LV and Ginny kisses Harry.. Blows LV's mind... SPLAT [20:00] <amyluhu> agree shard. love is so powerful [20:00] <SoonerGryffindor> its very important to keep him from feeling so outcast [20:00] <futureweasley> it's beyond shipping, you're right Sooner...it's basis humanity [20:00] <fw00per> LOL pellinore [20:00] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> In the books, even a hint of it when Ginny tells about Percy getting a girlfriend in COS [20:00] <daretodream2> it seemed in the OOP that Harry finally connected with Ginny after the snake attack. Ginny told him that she understood [20:01] <Shard> I like that Pellinore [20:01] <DumbleDebbie> that's neat d2d. it's important to have someone who understands you [20:01] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> At that stage, Cho was Harry's love interest though. [20:01] <Shard> Harry began to value Ginny as more then just Ron's little sister in OOTP [20:01] *** Poet has joined #lounge [20:01] <Shard> But as a valued Quidditch and battle partner [20:01] <DumbleDebbie> wb Poet [20:01] <fw00per> wb poet [20:02] <emeraldflames> I agree shard [20:02] <ProngsPatronus> I have to go--have a good chat, y'all!

[20:02] <Val_Halla> bye PP [20:02] <Aislinn> bye prongs [20:02] <amyluhu> bye prongs [20:02] <futureweasley> they are who they are with or without each other...it just so happens they are perfect for each other. Their lives and their experiences; their family and their education...their ability to love connects them. Theres no denying that [20:02] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> bye pp. [20:02] <Pleshette> I think it was Quidditch that made Harry start to see Ginny in a different light [20:02] <fw00per> and her sense of humor [20:02] <Pleshette> and the rest just followed from there [20:03] <cbm> Agreed about the sense of humor [20:03] <DumbleDebbie> yes, they do share that too fwooper [20:03] <Pleshette> yes fw00per [20:03] <nympheart> sorry, i'm sick, i think i've had it, bye guys [20:03] <danae24> I thought that from the DA days Harry began seeing Ginny in a different, more comfortable light [20:03] <wemisscedric> byee ! [20:03] <DumbleDebbie> bye nymph [20:03] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Probably. taking out all her brothers' brooms in turn behind their backs. A bit Slytherinish in a good way [20:03] <futureweasley> At the beginning of her second year, Ginny was shown to be particularly affected by the Dementors on the Hogwarts Express. What do you think Ginny's boggart is and do you think that it has changed over the years? [20:03] *** nympheart left #lounge [] [20:03] <DumbleDebbie> feel better [20:03] <Val_Halla> bye nymph [20:03] <fw00per> get well nymph [20:03] <danae24> bye nymph! [20:03] <An_Eternal_Night> bye nymph [20:03] <harryfreak359> I agree Pleshette, quidditch is probably what started making him notice her more [20:03] <Pellinore> she also grew up to, that always helps smile [20:03] <harryfreak359> bye numph [20:03] <harryfreak359> nymph* [20:03] <Shard> Teh Boggart may have been Tom Riddle or Voldemort [20:03] <fawkes28> probably that diary [20:03] <fw00per> it's a diary [20:03] <Shard> Maybe Dead Harry *eheh* [20:03] <DumbleDebbie> I think she was reliving the possession [20:03] <Aislinn> I think it brings back the horror of being possessed by Tom [20:03] <SoonerGryffindor> I definitely would think that not being in control would be a big boggart for her [20:03] <Floridagirl8192> yes, ginny has changed alot from the shy girl we saw in the first books [20:03] <daretodream2> I want to say it had to be with the diary [20:03] <MrMcGonagall> Oooh, that's a tough one. [20:03] <danae24> I agree with the diary [20:04] <futureweasley> Dead Harry? Lord Voldemort possessing her body\ [20:04] <Shard> More likely she revisited the poessesion [20:04] <fawkes28> but now i do think it is harry dead [20:04] <Aislinn> And I think that is why she is more deeply affected [20:04] <Poet> I was going to say a diary as well, but I'd say Harry dead now [20:04] <wemisscedric> most likely the diary and over the years it most likely changed [20:04] <harryfreak359> I don't know really. Hard question [20:04] <Pellinore> either the Diary, LV/TMR or a Basilisk [20:04] <amyluhu> it might be a diary or tom [20:04] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> basilisk? [20:04] <cbm> I think the bogart would be harry dead now [20:04] <An_Eternal_Night> I'm sure it would have to be related to the Diary and Tom Riddle [20:04] <SoonerGryffindor> I think its very likely that ..... what Poet just said laugh [20:04] <DumbleDebbie> yes, Sooner, loss of control would be a big part of that [20:04] <Aislinn> Lupin said that Harry was affected more because he had more horrors in his past - so does Giny [20:04] <wemisscedric> even though LV may still scare her, the boggart now would probally be a scene where harry is dead [20:04] <fawkes28> true, future - i bet she fears getting possessed again - who wouldnt [20:04] <fw00per> dead Harry and reliving the LV possession [20:04] <DumbleDebbie> awww, true. but on the train in PoA I think it was the possession thing [20:04] <Pleshette> yes [20:05] <danae24> maybe Ginny's boggart is Tom Riddle....... not necesarly LV [20:05] <amyluhu> i agree with poet and sooner [20:05] <emeraldflames> yes, in PoA, it was the possession [20:05] <DumbleDebbie> ooo, might be danae [20:05] <Shard> I didnt think of it on my first read but now when I see that I feel bad for her [20:05] <wemisscedric> no doubt [20:05] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> agreed Dumbledebbie [20:05] <fw00per> did she ever actually see Tom Riddle in the diary? [20:05] <Shard> I mean re-reads [20:05] <Shard> She saw himj come out and trhen fainted [20:05] <DumbleDebbie> yes Shard she was almost as affected as Harry [20:05] <danae24> we dont know, maybe she did fw00per [20:05] <Shard> Who knows what memeoires she may hgave shown him [20:05] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> She saw Tom Riddle [20:05] <wemisscedric> yea, Shard is right [20:06] <Poet> She couldn't remember what she was doing, so probably not - though Harry saw Tom, so why not Ginny as well - when she was reading [20:06] <fw00per> if she did see him, TR could have been her boggart for awhile [20:06] <MrMcGonagall> Dementor = reliving possession; boggart = Harry being harmed [20:06] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> She did show him a lot. Tom Riddle said so. The fact she cared for Harry. [20:06] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it is interesting that Ginny, Harry, and Neville were all most affected in that scene [20:06] <Poet> So when she was reading, but not when possessed I assume [20:06] <DumbleDebbie> yep Sooner, says a lot I think [20:06] <DumbleDebbie> about what they've been trhough [20:06] <Aislinn> they all have the most horrors in their pasts sooner [20:06] <Shard> Yes Sooner I agree there too [20:06] <An_Eternal_Night> Ginny's family is also very important to her so I don't see why it couldn't be the same thing as Molly's boggart [20:06] <daretodream2> yes sooner [20:06] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> All ones who had an experience of him or his followers [20:06] <SoonerGryffindor> I like the idea that Tom might have been her boggart [20:07] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, the three with the most horrific experiences in their past. [20:07] <harrypotterfreak4> those three will be vital to defeating voldemort because he's affected them the most so far [20:07] <Shard> Do you think Lupin taught his 2nd years about the Boggart??? [20:07] <wemisscedric> yea i would say so [20:07] <MrMcGonagall> Oooh, that would be interesting, Sooner. [20:07] <SoonerGryffindor> and 3 very strong people in magic as well [20:07] <fw00per> good thought hpf [20:07] <futureweasley> During her third year, she honors a promise to attend the Yule Ball with Neville Longbottom despite Ron telling her to attend with Harry - whom she still has a crush on. What does this scene say about Ginny? [20:07] <Aislinn> others who have had normal childhoods would not be so deeply affected [20:07] <Shard> Not trying to be OT just wondering if she SAW the Boggart ever [20:07] <SoonerGryffindor> no idea Shard [20:07] <amyluhu> honest [20:07] <fawkes28> that she is a nice person who was raised right [20:07] <Aislinn> I think it is admirable that she held to her commitment [20:07] <cbm> Honest [20:07] <harrypotterfreak4> that she keeps her word and is a fierce friend [20:07] <Val_Halla> She has good morals and ethics [20:07] <fw00per> loyalty and honesty [20:07] <Poet> She cares about others feelings [20:08] <DumbleDebbie> gir's got integrety [20:08] <SoonerGryffindor> honestly, I cannot say how impressed I was with this [20:08] * DumbleDebbie can't spell tonight [20:08] <cbm> She did what was right [20:08] <Pellinore> not that i'm aware of Aislinn [20:08] <fw00per> extremely mature [20:08] <wemisscedric> she is a loyal girl whom puts others feelings infront of her own [20:08] <Shard> Its says thaqt Ginny's a keeper of promises [20:08] <danae24> That she is loyal........... she made a commitment with Neville, so she got the guts to say no to Harry [20:08] <SoonerGryffindor> most girls would have abandoned ship ASAP [20:08] <MrMcGonagall> There's a part of her that is accepting that Harry might never develop feelings for her. [20:08] <amyluhu> agree sooner [20:08] <fawkes28> she wants neville to not feel left out because i think she knows what it is like [20:08] <Shard> You'd think that this would tell some certain people how much moral character Ginny has... [20:08] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Ginny hadn't expected Harry to ask her, and accepted because it was either Neville or missing ou [20:08] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> out [20:08] <fw00per> awww [20:08] <DumbleDebbie> yet another Gryffindor trait IMO, doing what's right not what's easy [20:08] <Poet> I agree 100% SoonerGryffindor [20:08] <futureweasley> her integrity is beyond reproach. She is just awesome, and I don't think that she would ever NOT honor an obligation she had set for herself. [20:08] <SoonerGryffindor> I like the point you bring up Shard about keeping promises [20:08] *** CarpeDiem has joined #lounge [20:09] <daretodream2> that she is not trying to be a Harry Potter idol anymore and is going for her true feelings. I believe she thought that Harry would have never asked her because she was Ron's sister. [20:09] <DumbleDebbie> hi CD [20:09] <harryfreak359> Hi Carpe [20:09] <fawkes28> hi carpe [20:09] <futureweasley> in a sense, she's got a bit of a "saving people" thing, herself. [20:09] <SoonerGryffindor> hi Carpe [20:09] <SoonerGryffindor> she does fw [20:09] <harrypotterfreak4> maybe she thought she'd do neville a favor and still might get the chance to dance with harry [20:09] <An_Eternal_Night> gotta go, be back very soon [20:09] <CarpeDiem> Good evening all! smile [20:09] <Poet> It would have been easy for her to say "this is my chance to get together with Harry" [20:09] <futureweasley> CD!! Oh, how I've missed you! [20:09] *** An_Eternal_Night has quit [Bye] [20:09] <amyluhu> that is another connection with harry. she went to the ball with neville and harry let neville know he is worth 10 malfoys. both care for him and protect him from harm [20:09] <Shard> Yeah FW I agree [20:09] <Poet> Hi CarpeDiem ! [20:09] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I'm glad she was so good to Neville. [20:09] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I don't think she would have liked to be asked to go with Harry the way Ron was doing it. [20:09] <fw00per> agree waggga [20:09] *** stewiegryf has joined #lounge [20:09] <harrypotterfreak4> she doesn't want to be harry's last choice [20:09] <fw00per> *wagga [20:09] <daretodream2> agree wwww [20:09] <DumbleDebbie> hi stewie [20:09] <SoonerGryffindor> but I also think that her pride would have kept her from doing it. She would have known that deep down she was jsut a desperation date [20:09] <danae24> as I said before, Ginny is brave to stand for the underdogs........... in this case, Neville [20:09] <stewiegryf> hi! [20:10] <harrypotterfreak4> she wanted to be a first choice and that's what neville gave her [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> hey stewie [20:10] <Poet> She was only 13 at the time, so it was a very mature thing to not change dates [20:10] <fw00per> she want's to be wanted by Harry [20:10] <Poet> I like that harryfreak359 [20:10] <wemisscedric> she has respect for herself and others around her, and it showed in her decision [20:10] <MrMcGonagall> Oh, I don't know. If she wasn't already committed to Neville, I don't think she would have been particular about Harry asked her at that point. [20:10] <Shard> Yeah in OOTP Neville said he was nobody and Ginny stood up to that [20:10] <futureweasley> Neville is so sweet, anyway. A lot like Ginny's friendship with Luna...it can't really be explained, it just "is"\ [20:10] <Val_Halla> I agree Mr M [20:10] <Poet> I mean harrypotterfreak4 [20:10] <MrMcGonagall> *how Harry asked her. [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it is so admirable that she wanted Harry, but only on the right terms [20:10] <Aislinn> I don't know , sooner, she was miserable after Ron suggested it [20:10] <fawkes28> very good point, future [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> I still think she might have taken a pass [20:10] <cbm> Did Hary ever really ask her? [20:10] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I didn't like the attitude Ron had to Neville. It wasn't kind [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> no [20:11] <fawkes28> ginny has a great nuturing quality about her [20:11] <MrMcGonagall> I think later on she would have been more particular, but in GoF she would have taken any offer, no matter how backhanded, from Harry. [20:11] <danae24> no, Ron suggested that she could go with Harry [20:11] <fw00per> I think she was miserable because Harry hadn't thought of asking her himself [20:11] <cbm> I did'nt think so [20:11] <Aislinn> I agree Mr M [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> I really do think this was the turning point for her [20:11] <emeraldflames> me too Sooner [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> this is where she made her choice to "get over it" [20:11] <futureweasley> cbm, Ron suggested that Hermione go with him and Ginny go with Harry [20:11] <Poet> I keep going back to the idea that she was only 13. That's a hard age to think reasonably at smile [20:11] <emeraldflames> that's where she met Michael Corner [20:11] <stewiegryf> I agree Sooner. [20:11] <Shard> I think she would have gone with Harry if she could Mr McG but Jo didn't want it that way lol [20:11] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Sooner. [20:11] <Aislinn> I'd agree with that sooner [20:11] <CarpeDiem> I agree with that Poet! [20:11] <harrypotterfreak4> yeah, i think this was a point when she realized she needed to move on from harry and hope he'd notice her one day [20:12] <fw00per> agree Shard [20:12] <SoonerGryffindor> I also love how she shut the 2 boys up! [20:12] <fw00per> absolutely, Sooner [20:12] <Aislinn> that was brilliant [20:12] <SoonerGryffindor> our first glimpse at OotP Ginny [20:12] <DumbleDebbie> yep Sooner smile [20:12] <MrMcGonagall> Yay for Ginny! [20:12] <daretodream2> she is good at that sooner [20:12] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> It seems Ron in particular hung up on looks and popularity [20:12] <Shard> I think you are right Sooner, Ginny had to get over her Rockstar delisuion and this was it [20:12] <futureweasley> In OotP we finally get to see the "real" Ginny that has been hinted at in earlier books. What are your thoughts on the "Order of the Phoenix Ginny" that we get to see? [20:12] <stewiegryf> Yes, she's not one to take lip from anyone, especially her crush or her brother. [20:12] <Shard> Actually I think we glimpsed that in PoA [20:12] <cbm> I liked her! [20:12] <DumbleDebbie> she rocks! [20:12] <Shard> There was a scene where Ginny wanted to talk to Harry and Ron and Ron told her to bug off [20:12] <SoonerGryffindor> This is her book! She owned it [20:12] <Val_Halla> I think Ginny is remarkably like the description of Lily [20:12] <fw00per> true colors shining through [20:13] <fawkes28> brave and tough [20:13] <MrMcGonagall> Definitely a jump in maturity. [20:13] <Shard> Anf she got spunky and told him off before leaving [20:13] <harrypotterfreak4> she'll be a force to be rekond with [20:13] *** NiGHTS has joined #lounge [20:13] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Ginny learning to leave that behind [20:13] <fw00per> same here val halla [20:13] <daretodream2> I like Ginny in the OOP she gets things stirring a bit more [20:13] <DumbleDebbie> hi nights [20:13] <NiGHTS> Hiya [20:13] <SoonerGryffindor> and I think it was all because she finally turned the corner [20:13] <Shard> I think OOTP Ginny is awesome, she is finally being herself and let [20:13] <Aislinn> me too Val [20:13] <Shard> 's Harry see what he's missnig *ehhe* [20:13] <NiGHTS> how's everyone tonight? [20:13] <fawkes28> she has grown into a wonderful young woman filled with self-confidence [20:13] * Shard is so bad [20:13] <amyluhu> she's tough, brave [20:13] <Floridagirl8192> before ootp, ginny still seemed to me like a little girl [20:13] <Aislinn> that is what I was reminded of when we see lily in the pensieve [20:13] <fawkes28> as well as independence [20:13] <CarpeDiem> Confidence in yourself can allow you to do wonderful things. I think the more confident she grows, the more of the "real" Ginny we see. [20:13] <MrMcGonagall> Really becoming her own personality rather than trying to meet expectations of others. [20:13] <Poet> She compliments Harry well in OotP. Too bad he wasn't ready for her yet. She knew how to put him straight. [20:13] <Shard> Ginny sticks up for who she cares about, she's brave and clever [20:13] <Floridagirl8192> but after ootp she seemed like someone harry's age [20:14] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Beginning to show what she is capable of doing in Phoenix [20:14] <fw00per> that's because girls are more mature than boys, florida [20:14] <harrypotterfreak4> i think ginny finally realizes that the world is changing because voldemort is back and she needs to accept that responsibility [20:14] <Shard> She isn't afraid to speak her mind in this book as well [20:14] <danae24> brb.......... little sister is asking for a snack [20:14] <NiGHTS> there's definatelt more to come from Ginny, being the 7th child of a 7th child and all that [20:14] <NiGHTS> definately* [20:14] <harrypotterfreak4> the 7th of the 7th in the 7th book [20:15] <NiGHTS> true !!! [20:15] <fw00per> yikes! [20:15] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I loved the bit in the Hogshead when she imitated Umbridge to get attention to subject [20:15] <Shard> lol I think we get the point that 7 is special [20:15] <NiGHTS> lol [20:15] <harryfreak359> lol, i think so [20:15] <harrypotterfreak4> lol [20:15] <fw00per> same here wagga [20:15] <emeraldflames> me too, wagga [20:15] <futureweasley> in OotP, she's really coming into her own, as a young woman, and as a witch [20:15] *** hrh7 has quit [Bye] [20:15] <SoonerGryffindor> her personality exploded on the pages, and I loved it [20:15] <NiGHTS> I liked the Ron's got a pygmy puffskein tatoo but not saying where line myself ! [20:15] <harrypotterfreak4> she likes to pick fun at people [20:15] <Shard> It's curious if Harry marry's Ginny he'll be the 7th son of Molly and Arthur... [20:15] <harrypotterfreak4> umbridge and Phlem [20:15] <Shard> Just thought I'd mention that lol [20:15] <harrypotterfreak4> hehe [20:15] <amyluhu> that was hilarious nights [20:16] <fw00per> nights, that's my fave scene [20:16] <SoonerGryffindor> I always thought that she had this great potential, and I was glad to see the person I thought was there the whole time smile [20:16] <NiGHTS> creased me up, amy ! [20:16] <Pleshette> Me too Sooner smile [20:16] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I don't think that was true. Just teasing Ron [20:16] <Shard> Yes Sooner she has been that way but for a time afraid to be that way in front of Harry [20:16] <fw00per> agree sooner [20:16] *** hrh7 has joined #lounge [20:16] <DumbleDebbie> wb hrh7 [20:16] <NiGHTS> It's interesting how JKR has compared Lilly to Ginny ... [20:16] <fw00per> I think so too nights [20:16] <futureweasley> We also see Ginny play seeker for the Gryffindor house team when Harry is banned from quidditch. What does Jo's choice in Ginny's postition say about her? First as alternate seeker to Harry, then as chaser, then seeker when he is unavailable again? [20:16] *** harryfreak359 has quit [Bye] [20:17] <harrypotterfreak4> she's flexible and can play many roles [20:17] <fw00per> the girl's got talent! [20:17] <DumbleDebbie> I think it's a sign she'll help him in the horcrux hunt [20:17] <stewiegryf> She does what she needs to do to help others. [20:17] <MrMcGonagall> Well, she does have the makings of a good seeker, but clearly her preference is for chaser. [20:17] <Pleshette> took the words right out of my mouth hpf4, lol [20:17] <Val_Halla> She's sporty, unlike Hermione [20:17] <fw00per> hmm . . maybe her wand wood is flexible [20:17] <Aislinn> she is talented, yes fw00per [20:17] <cbm> It makes them equals, in the last 2 years Ginny 3 snitch catches, Harry 2 [20:17] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> She can deputise for Harry [20:17] <harrypotterfreak4> she's not afraid to take on any task [20:17] <amyluhu> she is flexible but she knows her true talents best [20:17] <futureweasley> there is no "Ginny mold" [20:17] <NiGHTS> she's soooo got a role to play in the final reckonings [20:17] <SoonerGryffindor> I think its foreshadowing that Ginny may have to take over for Harry at some point [20:17] <daretodream2> I think she could play any position on the team, but I think she was born to be a chaser [20:17] <fawkes28> i think the person that plays seeker needs to be determined and confident that /she can catch it [20:17] <Poet> She's not afraid to try new things, and to giver her best [20:17] <futureweasley> she can not be pegged as on thing or another [20:17] <harrypotterfreak4> oooo good point sooner [20:18] <futureweasley> *one [20:18] <DumbleDebbie> could be Sooner [20:18] *** harryfreak359 has joined #lounge [20:18] <wemisscedric> showing maybe if harry dies, ginny in a way will grow to live up to his potential in beating voldemort [20:18] <SoonerGryffindor> she is the only other person we have ever seen in his "position" [20:18] <Pleshette> She can stand or take over when needed [20:18] <wemisscedric> in a symbolic way [20:18] <Shard> First she was a seeker and then chaser, makes me wonder what that means as her role in the book 7 [20:18] <NiGHTS> I think Ginny is - as has been put before - powerfully magical [20:18] <DumbleDebbie> she's the only one I can see fitting a role like that [20:18] <MrMcGonagall> I think Ginny likes to be where the action is. [20:18] <stewiegryf> I think it's also a way of showing she's on par with Harry. [20:18] <harryfreak359> Don't know what my computer just did....are we still on teh same question? [20:18] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Interesting point wemisscedric [20:18] <harrypotterfreak4> and it's another link to harry [20:18] <SoonerGryffindor> right stewie... she really is his equal [20:18] <stewiegryf> She's not him (ie not a seeker) but she can do what he can. [20:18] <DumbleDebbie> Quidditch HF [20:18] <Pellinore> I was thinking Harry & Ginny would keep in touch with Mirror's while he's away hunting and she's at school.. would also be a big help if there's something at the school he needs. [20:19] <Poet> I like that stewiegryf [20:19] <fw00per> show's her link to Harry, but still that's she's an individual [20:19] <harryfreak359> okay, thanks Debbie smile [20:19] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> But she is a good team player [20:19] <Pleshette> Harry can rely and depend on her when he can't do what's needed at the time [20:19] <amyluhu> ginny as seeker chaser seeker question hf359 [20:19] <DumbleDebbie> np smile [20:19] <SoonerGryffindor> I think its so great that she can take over for Harry when he is unable to be seeker, but she also supports him in the chaser role [20:19] <amyluhu> oooh good pleshette [20:19] <futureweasley> ever heard "Anything you can do, I can do better?" from the musical? That's totally Ginny's attitude. Bring it on, and I'll show you how it's to be done [20:19] <MrMcGonagall> I think Ginny likes to be in the thick of things, whereas Harry always tends to be sucked into the middle of things. [20:19] <Pleshette> They make a great "team" [20:19] <SoonerGryffindor> right Pleshette, that is where I was going with that [20:19] <Aislinn> yes pleshette [20:19] * DumbleDebbie now has that song stuck in her head [20:19] <fawkes28> love that future! [20:20] <amyluhu> like any good partner would sooner [20:20] <daretodream2> thats true Mr. McG [20:20] <stewiegryf> lol future...I agree. Filk anyone? [20:20] <danae24> i'm back....... [20:20] <NiGHTS> Was cool to pop in but better go; 'tis 20 past 1 in morn here in UK and I'm up for work in too few hours ... G'nite [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> bye nights [20:20] <futureweasley> you got it, Stewie [20:20] <danae24> bye nights! [20:20] <Pleshette> Goodnight NiGHts [20:20] <harryfreak359> bye Nights [20:20] <amyluhu> night nights [20:20] <DumbleDebbie> bye nights [20:20] <cbm> Night Nights [20:20] <harrypotterfreak4> bye nights [20:20] <NiGHTS> lol@night NiGHTS Cya [20:20] *** NiGHTS has quit [Bye] [20:21] <wemisscedric> jk is so beyond whats on the surface so I think all these little details are symbols for the growing topics for book 7, so I just think everything is a symbol for something else as I stated before. i think it has to do wiith ginny defeating or fighting voldemort when harry can't [20:21] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> nighty night nights smile [20:21] <Pellinore> at the end of 6 it sounded like they weren't going to team up right away though... but its possible an attack at the wedding changes all of that and all 4 go together [20:21] <futureweasley> We also see Ginny standing up for Neville and Luna in OotP. What does the fact that Ginny befriends "uncool" people more comfortably than Harry or anyone else say about her? [20:21] <SoonerGryffindor> I agree wemisscedric [20:21] <Aislinn> that's an interesting point wemiss [20:21] <Shard> Shes more accepting [20:21] <harrypotterfreak4> she'll be willing to fight along side anyone [20:21] <DumbleDebbie> she's more secure [20:21] <Pellinore> she's more grounded [20:21] <SoonerGryffindor> She is totally comfortable in her own skin [20:21] <danae24> it tells that she isnt a discriminating person......... [20:21] <Val_Halla> She has a lot of empathy - another Lily trait [20:21] <SoonerGryffindor> which is so unlike Cho [20:21] <MrMcGonagall> I love this about Ginny. One of my favorite characteristics in her [20:21] <stewiegryf> It shows she has enormous character. She doesn't care what others think. [20:21] <futureweasley> she's not superficial in the least [20:21] <harrypotterfreak4> maybe ginny will help harry recruit other types of beings into fighting against voldemort [20:21] <harryfreak359> She is more accepting and she is completely comfortable with everything it seems, she just flows [20:21] <Poet> She's a good example to Harry. It helps him expand his acceptance circle. [20:21] <Pleshette> That she rocks smile [20:21] <fawkes28> i think just that she is secure outside her comfort zone as well [20:21] <DumbleDebbie> yes Mr M, it's wonderful [20:22] <Aislinn> I think she is self confident, and sees what is truly important in people, not the surface popularity stuff [20:22] <daretodream2> I think she is comfortable with people who are not particullary in the in crowd. [20:22] <amyluhu> i think she has kinda taught harry how to do that. and ron for that matter [20:22] <fw00per> yes aislinn, I agree [20:22] <Pellinore> i've seen that is several very beutiful women that they are secure in who they are and get more attention then they crave anyway so associating with and outcast isn't detrimental to them. [20:22] <danae24> I like the fact that she sees the good in the less popular people......... [20:22] <harryfreak359> I agree Aislinn [20:22] <SoonerGryffindor> amazing trait in a 14 year old, huh? [20:22] <Pleshette> She's down to earth, not trying to impress anyone, accepting [20:22] <MrMcGonagall> I think the hard knocks Ginny has experienced help her empathize with people. [20:22] *** WannabeHarry has joined #lounge [20:22] <harryfreak359> indeed it is, Sooner [20:22] *** Tanaqui has joined #lounge [20:22] <DumbleDebbie> yes Sooner, very much [20:22] <SoonerGryffindor> that is a good point Mr M. [20:22] <DumbleDebbie> hi wannabe and tanaqui [20:22] <Shard> I agree with that MrMcg [20:23] <fawkes28> she makes friends more easily perhaps - because she didnt have a tight group of friends her friend year so she is more willing to go out on a limb [20:23] <WannabeHarry> hi [20:23] <DumbleDebbie> true mr M [20:23] <SoonerGryffindor> She comes from a poor family and she has not exactly had it easy [20:23] <stewiegryf> It would be amazing for a 20 year old, sooner. [20:23] <harryfreak359> hi wannabe Harry, hi Tanaqui [20:23] <Shard> Do you think it's possible that Ginny met Luna before going to Hogwarts? [20:23] <danae24> ok guys, this has been a fantastic chat....... but I have to go!!!!! see ya later! [20:23] <DumbleDebbie> could be Shard [20:23] <Shard> The Lovegoods living nearby the Burrow [20:23] <wemisscedric> byee! [20:23] <harryfreak359> Bye Danae [20:23] <Tanaqui> greetings--what's our question? [20:23] <Floridagirl8192> it sets her apart from all the other girls who "chase" Harry [20:23] <fw00per> bye danae [20:23] <Pleshette> Bye danae! [20:23] <harrypotterfreak4> bye danae [20:23] <Val_Halla> The Lovegoods are from their neighborhood [20:23] <DumbleDebbie> they live preety close [20:23] <amyluhu> by dna [20:23] <Aislinn> yes, shard, I think so [20:23] *** danae24 left #lounge [] [20:23] <DumbleDebbie> bye danae [20:23] <SoonerGryffindor> its an outside possiblity, but Ron had no clue who she was [20:23] <futureweasley> repeat of the q: We also see Ginny standing up for Neville and Luna in OotP. What does the fact that Ginny befriends "uncool" people more comfortably than Harry or anyone else say about her? [20:24] <Pleshette> brb [20:24] <Tanaqui> excellent, thanks [20:24] <Shard> I didnt know who all my sisters friends were SG [20:24] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> It shows that she is no fairweather friend [20:24] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it is a way in which she and Harry compliment each other [20:24] <Shard> Especially if Ginny met her while Ron was at school [20:24] <wemisscedric> it could be so, but Ron had no idea who she was and it seems a bit to weird for that to be true [20:24] <harrypotterfreak4> she may be able to rally people against voldemort easier than harry would [20:24] <SoonerGryffindor> true Shard [20:24] <amyluhu> agree sooner [20:24] <MrMcGonagall> Ginny sticks up for the underdogs. I like that. [20:24] <WannabeHarry> when the color of the chat is red does it means its a LL um MOD? [20:24] <SoonerGryffindor> I love how Harry learned from her on this [20:25] <futureweasley> right Wagga...she makes a decision, and stands there. She does things because her principles are in line with her morals and ethics [20:25] <Shard> Eithjer way she sticks up for people [20:25] <wemisscedric> it shows where her true loyalty lies when its tested [20:25] <Pellinore> that she's not that concerned about her social standing [20:25] <DumbleDebbie> but Harry was good to Neville right from book 1 [20:25] <Aislinn> exactly future This post has been edited by fawkes28: Jan 10 2007, 09:30 PM |

[20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> no, you can choose your own colors wannabe
[20:25] <amyluhu> it means it's sooner [20:25] <WannabeHarry> k [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [20:25] <futureweasley> What do you think of the ways in which Ginny and Harry interacted in OotP? [20:25] <Shard> Not always [20:25] <Shard> Harry tended to brush Neville off [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> down at the bottom of the screen on the right. Click on the arrows [20:25] <cbm> I liked it [20:25] <harrypotterfreak4> they were forming a tight bond in ootp [20:25] <Aislinn> I think they were starting to connect here [20:25] <DumbleDebbie> I was thinking of the worth 12 of Malfoy moment [20:25] <WannabeHarry> ok ty [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> I love it. Total friendship [20:25] <Poet> I loved the fact that he was willing to listen to her, and that she was able to break through to him when no one else could. [20:25] <fw00per> the fire got a little warmer [20:25] <MrMcGonagall> Ginny isn't going to spend her life waiting around for Harry. [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> your welcome [20:26] <Shard> I klike the way that Ginny interacts with Harry, consoling him but not babying him or sucking up to him [20:26] <fawkes28> awww there relationship is starting to blossom - very very slowly but you can tell it is going that course [20:26] <Aislinn> there were times they shared a joke - definitely related to each other [20:26] <Pellinore> More as equals in OotP figuring each other out more. [20:26] <futureweasley> he's into Cho, but everytime his expectations fall flat on that front, Ginny's around to talk to him, or make him smile. He really begins to "notice" her in OotP [20:26] <Val_Halla> Ginny still liked harry but she let him down off his pedestal [20:26] <daretodream2> I think they giving a true friendship a try. [20:26] *** DA63 has joined #lounge [20:26] <amyluhu> agree pel [20:26] <DumbleDebbie> hi DA63 [20:26] <harrypotterfreak4> basing a relationship off of a friendship is always the best way to start [20:26] <SoonerGryffindor> I love the fact that Ginny and Cho seemed to be compared on every level and Cho was found wanting every time [20:26] <Shard> I agree HPF [20:26] <Aislinn> yes hpf [20:26] <stewiegryf> Exactly Poet. I love how she was able to get through to him when he thought he was being possessed by voldemort.

Yes, that is what that means [20:26] <Aislinn> yes wannabe [20:26] <Tanaqui> our little ginny grows up a lot in ootp *sniff* [20:26] <MrMcGonagall> That's an excellent point, Sooner. [20:27] <futureweasley> you have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found needing a kleenex [20:27] <cbm> She was also willing to help harry with his cho problems, that should maturity, she wanted what was best for Harry [20:27] <Aislinn> she does tanaqui [20:27] <fw00per> lol futre [20:27] <DumbleDebbie> lol future [20:27] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL FW [20:27] <Pellinore> Yes, Wannabe just don't feed Snuffles he bites ;) [20:27] <wemisscedric> Ginny has been infatuated with Harry, as we see early in the series and I just in OOTP it began to really take off which brought us to HBP, which we all know what happened :] [20:27] <fawkes28> OotP definitely shows that Ginny is more mature than Harry, which most girls are at that age [20:27] <MrMcGonagall> Cho was Harry's first crush. Thank goodness Ginny had better taste. [20:27] <Tanaqui> i just love that she finally allowed herself to be herself around him [20:27] *** tldy969 has joined #lounge [20:27] <Shard> Exaclrty she never flautnbed MC in front of Harry nor did she act bitter about Cho [20:27] <DumbleDebbie> hi tldy [20:27] <Aislinn> hi tldy [20:27] <Shard> Shes a very sensible girl [20:28] <tldy969> hey wat have you been talking about [20:28] <amyluhu> ginny [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> everything about her. She is the total package [20:28] <Val_Halla> I think to the girls it was obvious harry and Cho had nothing in common beyond Quidditch [20:28] <futureweasley> What do you think Ginny's patronus is? [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> I love how she became Harry's FRIEND before anything else [20:28] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hi tldy [20:28] <amyluhu> lion [20:28] <stewiegryf> Harry [20:28] <fw00per> harry [20:28] <Pellinore> yea Ginny is almost to perfect. as though she's written to be 10 years older then she is. [20:28] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Did it say in OotP? [20:28] <harrypotterfreak4> an eagle, i don't know why [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> I really want to know what you guys think about this [20:28] <Shard> I think it has to be an animal [20:29] <fawkes28> i think it is an animal [20:29] <futureweasley> I don't think of Harry as an "animal", but if I did, it would be a Dragon [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> no. It said it was mist [20:29] <Pellinore> Pygmy Puff! ;o [20:29] <DumbleDebbie> I dunno, something strong and tenaceous [20:29] <fw00per> ooo, I like dragon [20:29] <Aislinn> something like a lion [20:29] <WannabeHarry> ok well we all know she always liked harry*OHHH since when * lol and i think she might even whitout him accepting try to help him hehe [20:29] <Tanaqui> something strong, yet loving... [20:29] <futureweasley> she makes reference to his Hungarian horntail tattoo (lol) [20:29] <fawkes28> something that is brave a strong - i do like the idea of a lion [20:29] <Tanaqui> i agree with aislinn [20:29] <wemisscedric> i think jk wrote ginny as herself, on some subconcious level [20:29] <DumbleDebbie> lol FW [20:29] <daretodream2> I think it would be something strong and cuddly, maybe a bear? [20:29] <cbm> Unicorn [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> I like to think it may be a Mongoose [20:29] <Pellinore> a Harpy Eagle ;) [20:29] <stewiegryf> I think it would be something like a lion. Strong, self-confident [20:29] <fw00per> mama bear [20:29] <Poet> Something in the Weasel family? [20:29] <Shard> Yes Soooner a Mongoose~~ [20:29] <MrMcGonagall> I like that, too, Sooner [20:29] <Aislinn> yes stewie [20:29] <Tanaqui> why a mongoose? [20:29] <Poet> Mongoose is great, because it is a natural enemy to snakes [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> Snake killer [20:29] <fw00per> what's a mongoose? [20:29] <futureweasley> I don't know what a mongoose is [20:30] <Shard> Because Mongooses atack Snakes [20:30] <fawkes28> me either [20:30] <harrypotterfreak4> wouldn't it be funny if it really were a weasel [20:30] <Poet> And its a member of the weasel family [20:30] <DumbleDebbie> that would fall under tenacious I think and the snake thing is great [20:30] <harrypotterfreak4> or a ferret? [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> they are famous for killing snakes [20:30] <harryfreak359> hmmmm...that'd be interesting [20:30] <fw00per> that's so cool [20:30] <Aislinn> she was born in Augues, so is a Leo, and definitely has those qualities, and she is a Gryffindor through and through [20:30] <Tanaqui> thank you--i had forgotten about that fact [20:30] <futureweasley> no, I don't think it would be a ferret...Harry is much stronger than that [20:30] <Aislinn> I think a lion fits her [20:30] <Pellinore> Mongoose is a type of Ferret/weasle that's extreemly quick and kills Cobras [20:30] <fw00per> thanks pellinore [20:30] <cbm> Or how about a doe to go with Harry's stag [20:30] <Tanaqui> but i still agree with aislinn [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> right, and snce Jo loves the weasel..... [20:30] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Not a ferret. That would be Draco's boggart, wouldn't it? [20:30] <fawkes28> a lion would also be very fitting because she is in gryffindor [20:30] <futureweasley> aww, cbm, I love that idea, too [20:31] <WannabeHarry> ur talking about her forme????????????*animal forme*wat animal she might be??? [20:31] <fw00per> lol wagga [20:31] <DumbleDebbie> yes, she does Sooner [20:31] <Val_Halla> LOL Wagga [20:31] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Or his animagus form [20:31] *** An_Eternal_Night has joined #lounge [20:31] <Pellinore> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoose [20:31] <harrypotterfreak4> and it'd give something for Draco to fear Ginny about [20:31] <SoonerGryffindor> remember, a patronus is what your would identify as being your protector [20:31] <DumbleDebbie> wb AEN [20:31] <Aislinn> her patronus wannabe [20:31] <An_Eternal_Night> hello again! [20:31] <Tanaqui> i thought of that, too, cbm, but it's not strong enough [20:31] <wemisscedric> i'd love to know what pp's boggart is..would it be voldemort? [20:31] <fw00per> wb eternal [20:31] <amyluhu> don't mongooses catch ferrets [20:31] <cbm> Neither is an otter [20:31] <futureweasley> Ginny breaks up with Michael when she finds him to be "sulky" and a "bad loser" over his house's Quidditch team suffering a loss to her house's team. What does this say about her character? [20:31] <Aislinn> Hermione is an otter [20:32] <harrypotterfreak4> well ron's patronous is a jack russel like dog [20:32] <fw00per> she doesn't like whiners [20:32] <SoonerGryffindor> that she will not tolerate a bad attitude [20:32] <futureweasley> typical reason to breakup in High School...over something trivial [20:32] <cbm> SHe likes happy people [20:32] <Shard> That Ginny values good sportsmanship [20:32] <Val_Halla> I suspect maybe MC insulted Harry in some way [20:32] <fawkes28> yes, cbm! [20:32] <Pellinore> Mongooses mostly feed on insects, crabs, earthworms, lizards, snakes, and rodents. However, they will also eat eggs and carrion. Some species, such as the Indian mongoose, are popularly known for their ability to fight and kill venomous snakes such as cobras. They are able to do this because of their agility and cunning, but typically avoid the cobra and have no particular affinity for consuming their meat. [20:32] <Aislinn> that she doesn't put up with loser boyfriends [20:32] <DumbleDebbie> lead, follow or get out of the way [20:32] <SoonerGryffindor> me too VH [20:32] <daretodream2> she doesn't want to stay with someone who always has a bad opinon on things [20:32] <Shard> MC probably said bad things about the team [20:32] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> She expects friendships to transcend house rivalries [20:32] <fawkes28> lol aislinn [20:32] <WannabeHarry> well we all know that she liked harry and was dating others to forget..... [20:32] <futureweasley> but, she knew that Michael wasn't "the one" anyway. Who gets together with "the one" at 14? [20:32] <wemisscedric> she's wise beyond her years [20:32] <futureweasley> not many people, anyway [20:32] <WannabeHarry> iono [20:32] <MrMcGonagall> Ginny is totally not going to waste her time on someone so self-absorbed. [20:32] <WannabeHarry> girls these days lol [20:32] <DumbleDebbie> no wallowing or whining allowed ;) [20:32] <harrypotterfreak4> that she won't put up with a guy that doesn't support her [20:32] <Aislinn> too right, Mr M [20:32] <Shard> Thats true HPF [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it also goes to show that she is not going to "settle" [20:33] <wemisscedric> would micheal like some cheese with that wine ? :] [20:33] <WannabeHarry> who is Mr m??? [20:33] <fw00per> yes MrM and sooner [20:33] <fawkes28> Ginny has high expectations and she should [20:33] <emeraldflames> we know michael wasn't too upset anyway, he ran to Cho [20:33] <Pellinore> She's able to move on and gets annoyed by people that whine [20:33] <harryfreak359> I agree Sooner [20:33] <DumbleDebbie> Mr. McGonagall, wannabe [20:33] <WannabeHarry> ok [20:33] <Aislinn> we use parts of names in here wannabe - it's quicker [20:33] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Michael and Cho better suited [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> I also think that's another H/G hint. Each of their exes get togetehr [20:33] <WannabeHarry> call me wana [20:33] <emeraldflames> me too, sooner [20:33] <Poet> I love it SoonerGryffindor [20:33] <harrypotterfreak4> funny how ginny and harry's ex's end up together [20:34] <fw00per> I had forgotten about that [20:34] <cbm> call me cbm smile [20:34] <harryfreak359> yes I forgot about that too [20:34] <fw00per> very funny, Jo [20:34] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [20:34] <WannabeHarry> lol [20:34] <Poet> It shows that Ginny doesn't like whiners [20:34] <Floridagirl8192> lol [20:34] <DumbleDebbie> lol [20:34] <WannabeHarry> mm [20:34] <harryfreak359> lol [20:34] <fw00per> whiners and there kleenex stick together [20:34] <Tanaqui> ginny's not a shallow girl--she's not going to stand for someone who is all surface [20:34] <WannabeHarry> heyheyhey ITS FATTTTT ALBERT lol sorry [20:34] <futureweasley> In her 5th year, Ginny finds herself a member of the Slug Club. Is Ginny the only 5th year in the Slug-Club that we know of? What does this say about her potential? [20:34] <Poet> Ginny has shown on the Quidditch field that she knows how to get things done [20:34] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Both MC and Cho stuck on their own house and selves. [20:35] <futureweasley> Please no underlining or bolding [20:35] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Couldn't transcend that [20:35] <DumbleDebbie> she's very talented [20:35] <harrypotterfreak4> that she has tons of potential [20:35] <SoonerGryffindor> She's the only 5th year we hear of [20:35] <Shard> She has alot of potential [20:35] <tldy969> yea ppl are always talking about ginny's magical potential [20:35] <cbm> She is Harry equal, and it must be more apparent than it is in the books [20:35] <An_Eternal_Night> Slughorn thinks that she could be very successful [20:35] <WannabeHarry> HMM sorry is the Slug-Club the harry club cause i read the book in english and im reading the 1st book now in ENglish lol [20:35] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it shows that she belongs on a level with the trio [20:35] <tldy969> escpecially her bb hex [20:35] <Shard> Shes alkso drafted on the merit [20:35] <daretodream2> I think that means that she is quite gifted after all she wasn't on slughorns list to begin with [20:35] <wemisscedric> she's exceding the other fifth years, also contributing to the "final" battle [20:35] <Aislinn> Slughorn has an uncanny knack to pick out talent, and he spotted her. I think it is meant to reinforce the notion of her power as a witch [20:35] <WannabeHarry> slug club is slughorn ok ok the new teacher right? [20:35] <Tanaqui> considering her older brothers, it's not that surprising...i mean, it's probably not just quidditch practice she sneaks on the side [20:36] <fw00per> yes wanna [20:36] <WannabeHarry> ok ty [20:36] <MrMcGonagall> I rather think Slughorn doesn't mind finding his proteges young. Gives him more time to "develop" their talents. [20:36] <stewiegryf> Again, its another sign that she is a good equal with Harry. I'm sure if Sluggy had been there Harry's fifth year, Harry would have been in the Slug Club. [20:36] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> It shows up Ron in a way. Fred and George as well [20:36] <Aislinn> yes, the spider has more time to spin his web, Mr M smile [20:36] <Pleshette> Her talents stand out among others at times and Slughorn noticed that in her [20:36] <harrypotterfreak4> exactly MrM [20:36] <SoonerGryffindor> agreed stewie [20:36] <harrypotterfreak4> i wonder when he had voldemort join his club? [20:36] <fw00per> good question hpf4 [20:36] <Shard> Gives some credit to Sluggy, that he values ability [20:37] <DumbleDebbie> probably young hpfreak [20:37] <tldy969> harry wud hav been in the club from 1st year if slughorn was there [20:37] <MrMcGonagall> I thnk early on. [20:37] <daretodream2> I like the fact that Ginny doesn't want to be there any more than Harry does [20:37] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Voldemort member in Year 6, probably earlier [20:37] <Tanaqui> but would harry have been asked to join on merit or popularity? ginny's in on skill [20:37] <fw00per> me too d2d [20:37] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Slughorn his house master, and thought highly of him [20:37] <Aislinn> harry was asked on fame tanaqui [20:37] <tldy969> yea voldy showed exceptional talent early, he was prob in it by like second year, def not 1st [20:37] <WannabeHarry> ok ty very much g2g see ya guys maybe on the forum heheee [20:37] *** WannabeHarry left #lounge [] [20:37] <MrMcGonagall> Good point, wagga [20:37] <Shard> Not just fame [20:38] <Tanaqui> right, i should have said fame, not popularity [20:38] <SoonerGryffindor> bye wanna [20:38] <Shard> but for his mother as well, though I am sure he heard alot of Harry's ability [20:38] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> bye wanna [20:38] <Tanaqui> and i know he's got talent...but slughorn likes people with connections [20:38] <harrypotterfreak4> at that point harry's abilities were very well know [20:38] <harrypotterfreak4> known* [20:38] <Shard> Interesting that Hermione wasn't invited until later [20:38] <Val_Halla> Harry's name has been in the papers [20:38] <tldy969> he wanted the chosen one, the boy who lived, but he prob wud hav picked him just for lily [20:38] <wemisscedric> i must go, but I hope you all have a potterful-thursday tommorrow :] see you all soon! <33 wemisscedric [20:38] <fw00per> Hermione's in on talent [20:38] <Aislinn> I believed what DD said about Slughorn viewing Harry as a jewel in his crown, and that is all about the Chosen One [20:38] <futureweasley> Also during her 5th year, Ginny had a famous row with Ron when he and Harry discover her kissing Dean in a deserted corridor. What are your thoughts on the interactions between Ron and Ginny in this scene? [20:38] <Tanaqui> what does he think he can get from ginny? [20:38] *** An_Eternal_Night has quit [Bye] [20:39] <Aislinn> bye wemiss [20:39] *** An_Eternal_Night has joined #lounge [20:39] <Poet> Wow . I loved that scene. [20:39] <wemisscedric> oh i can't leave now [20:39] <amyluhu> she got him [20:39] <harrypotterfreak4> i think that if his name hadn't been Harry Potter and Slug found out that he could produce a Patronous he would have been on the list [20:39] <wemisscedric> haa i love this question [20:39] <SoonerGryffindor> so many people use this scene to assasinate Ginny's character. I loved her here [20:39] <cbm> Ron was being an idiot [20:39] <MrMcGonagall> Ron so had it coming. [20:39] <Shard> I thought Ron was out of line [20:39] <wemisscedric> after this I shall leave [20:39] <Pellinore> being a muggleborn, Slug probably waited until he saw her (Herminone's) talent [20:39] <futureweasley> oh, me too....I wonder what the orange sparks that came from the wand were? [20:39] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> One in the eye for all those censorious elder brothers [20:39] <wemisscedric> Forshadowing to the extreme [20:39] <daretodream2> I love the whole scene and she puts Ron right in his place [20:39] <DumbleDebbie> baby sister putting big bro in his place, loved it [20:39] <Shard> I thought Ron was being a hypoocrite and deserved what Ginny gave him [20:39] <stewiegryf> Typical brother/sister interaction. I didn't see anything wrong with it. [20:39] <harrypotterfreak4> ron doesn't want to see his sister growing up and having to worry about her [20:39] <Aislinn> I think it was a very typical scene between two teenaged siblings [20:39] *** Floridagirl8192 has quit [Bye] [20:39] <MrMcGonagall> I did too, Sooner [20:39] <Shard> Good way have putting it Aislinn [20:39] <Tanaqui> i loved seeing how ron felt a little protective--has he in the past? my brain has frozen... [20:40] *** Floridagirl8192 has joined #lounge [20:40] <Poet> I agree Aislinn, which is one reason I really enjoyed it. We get to see another (honest) side of Ron and Ginny. [20:40] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I think anyone behaving like Ron a hypocrite and deserving what they get [20:40] <Shard> I have had worse fights with my own sister [20:40] <CarpeDiem> I agree Aislinn...sounded pretty typical to me. And of course Ginny is going to have the upper hand. Another great flash of her brilliance smile [20:40] <emeraldflames> I loved the scene, very typical of siblings [20:40] <SoonerGryffindor> I think the worst part about this whole thing for Ginny is that it happened in front of Harry [20:40] <fw00per> yes to all, and she may have been embarrassed that Harry saw her and Dean [20:40] <futureweasley> I am an only child, so insight into sibling relationships is always so interesting to me! I have no experience with them, and scenes like that make me wonder if I'm better off. LOL [20:40] <Shard> Heck Ron has gotten worse treatment from the Twins [20:40] <DumbleDebbie> yes Sooner [20:40] <Aislinn> he acted that way about Michael Corner too, tanaqui, but not as rabid [20:40] <wemisscedric> ugh I must go, stay potterful :] <33 [20:40] <DumbleDebbie> lol FW [20:40] <Pellinore> older brothers are typically brought up to be protective of their siblings but not taught how to let go until their charge speaks up [20:40] <amyluhu> that poor monster inside harry [20:40] <SoonerGryffindor> the one boy she probably didnt want to catch her kissing anyone [20:40] <Shard> Aw FW, I am glad I have my sister, even if we did fight [20:40] <tldy969> yea thats prob why she flipped on Ron, cuz she was so mad that harry saw her [20:41] *** hlstaffiera has joined #lounge [20:41] <DumbleDebbie> hi hlstaff [20:41] <CarpeDiem> Interesting thought there Pellinore! [20:41] *** wemisscedric has quit [Bye] [20:41] <stewiegryf> Sometimes I wonder if I'd had been better off as an only child, so it's a two way street future! [20:41] <Aislinn> yes, I agree tldy [20:41] <MrMcGonagall> ginny doesn't need advice or protection from Ron. [20:41] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Just the thing to arouse the Green-eyed monster in Harry [20:41] <emeraldflames> by the end of the fight, Ginny is in tears [20:41] <hlstaffiera> hello, glad I made it [20:41] <harrypotterfreak4> i have a younger brother and he would have done the same to me, and he's half the size of the guys i used to date [20:41] <futureweasley> sparks issued from Ginny's wand...wordless magic. I wonder what happened there [20:42] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hi hlstaff [20:42] <DumbleDebbie> a little unchecked temper FW? [20:42] <MrMcGonagall> I think just emotions running high, FW [20:42] <SoonerGryffindor> I htink she was just that angry [20:42] <Shard> an reaction from an spurt of strong emotiuon FW [20:42] <Pellinore> my cousin used to introduce her VERY big older brothers to her dates. You mess with me they hurt you... [20:42] <harrypotterfreak4> she was maybe a bit embarassed and a lot ticked off [20:42] <Aislinn> extreme emotion, like we've seen from Harry [20:42] <tldy969> yea it seems like it takes alot to unwillingly do magic [20:42] <stewiegryf> It was a strong inflow of emotion. Just like Harry at the zoo. [20:42] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> unmentionable swearwords? [20:42] <Shard> I think so to, Ron was implying something nasty about Ginny \ [20:42] <cbm> size is no idication of power and she was upset [20:42] <MrMcGonagall> Or maybe it's the stirrings of a Bat Bogey Hex. [20:42] <CarpeDiem> Good point FW! She's got some brilliant potential that's carefully being hinted at perhaps? [20:42] <Shard> Maybe MrMcg lol [20:42] <DumbleDebbie> lol Mr M [20:42] <futureweasley> Does Ginny have any close friendships other than the trio, Neville, and Luna? [20:42] <Tanaqui> perhaps she's furious about ron's timing--i mean, he's not been super-protective in the past, so why has he started now? (in her mind) [20:42] <emeraldflames> Ron's lucky he didnt get the BBH [20:43] <DumbleDebbie> Hermione [20:43] <Shard> I would say no FW, we would have met them [20:43] <DumbleDebbie> oops blushing [20:43] <Poet> Hard to say [20:43] <amyluhu> i get the feeling that she does. [20:43] <fw00per> Hermione [20:43] <SoonerGryffindor> great chat guys! Gotta run [20:43] <fawkes28> bye sooner [20:43] <Shard> She may have casual friends, [20:43] <stewiegryf> bye sooner! [20:43] <emeraldflames> Hermione [20:43] <cbm> I am sure she does, be we do not know [20:43] <Shard> By Sooner [20:43] <harrypotterfreak4> i bye sooner [20:43] <DumbleDebbie> bye Sooner [20:43] <CarpeDiem> okay see ya Sooner! [20:43] <Poet> I imagine that everyone pretty much likes Ginny [20:43] <Val_Halla> bye Sooner [20:43] <fawkes28> maybe friends she has in class [20:43] *** cbm has quit [Bye] [20:43] <Pellinore> cya sooner [20:43] <Tanaqui> close friendships, no, but casual friendships, yes [20:43] <amyluhu> bye sooner [20:43] <DumbleDebbie> she seems to be very accepting of people [20:43] <fw00per> bye sooner [20:43] <tldy969> if hermione knows about ginny lovin harry, maybe hermione told ginny something about ron [20:43] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> bye sooner [20:43] *** cbm has joined #lounge [20:43] <emeraldflames> bye sooner [20:43] <MrMcGonagall> I think she's been better at developing friendships in other houses than the trio have been. [20:43] <Floridagirl8192> it seems like those are her only friends, but we really dont see much of her during the school day [20:43] <CarpeDiem> I think she's closer to Hermione than we realize because we are seeing through Harry's eyes. [20:43] <daretodream2> I'm not sure she has strong relationships, but she has friendships outside of those people [20:43] *** SoonerGryffindor has quit [Bye] [20:43] <futureweasley> I get the feeling that she's not really tight with anyone else. I wonder who her suitemates are at Hogwarts. I mean, we know who the trio hang with (or avoid) because they live together [20:43] <DumbleDebbie> and I think it's neat she's friends with Luna, who is in another house [20:44] <stewiegryf> I agree Tanaqui. She seems like she'd get along with everyone, but not really have any close friendships outside those listed. [20:44] <An_Eternal_Night> I think it was in Book 3 that Ginny ran off to sit with her friends and Harry was reminded that Ginny doesn't usually hang out with him, Ron, and Hermione [20:44] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I think they were close [20:44] <Aislinn> I don't think we see them, but she is described as popular - I think she has plenty of friends [20:44] <Shard> That was book 6 [20:44] <Poet> Since she has older brothers, I imagine that she is diverse in her ability to make friends with people of all ages. With that many siblings you also sometimes don't have the need for as many outside friends - you have your siblings and their friends too. [20:44] <amyluhu> that is what i was thinking of eternal night [20:44] <tldy969> shes not good friends with luna tho, its just one of those ppl u wanna b nice 2 [20:44] <An_Eternal_Night> ok, thanks, I really wasn't sure [20:44] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hermione and Ginny often shared a room at the Burrow [20:45] <Tanaqui> i still think those were casual friends she ran off to...she just talks with hermione of the trio more so harry doesn't see the closeness [20:45] <CarpeDiem> Good point, Poet [20:45] <fawkes28> i think as far as girlfriends - she has gotten closest to hermione so she may not feel the need to reach out to other girls as much - especially because she can be more of a tomboy [20:45] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Not good if not friends [20:45] <Pleshette> I think she's grown closer to Hermione through each book [20:45] <Aislinn> I think it is just because she is peripheral to Harry until the later books, that we don't really see who those friends are [20:45] <harrypotterfreak4> i think ginny may look at hermione as an honorary sister [20:45] <Poet> Agreed [20:45] <Pellinore> She may be a person that is generaly friendly to many people but might only have a few really good friends, like Luna etc. also Harry may not know much about Ginny's contacts to [20:45] <Pleshette> Yes I agree [20:45] <Aislinn> agree hpf [20:45] <Pellinore> True Aislinn [20:45] <Shard> That is true, Harry filter again [20:45] <CarpeDiem> I wonder if after PoA it was hard for her to have "close" friends. [20:46] <futureweasley> According to Jo, "Ginny has been written to be pretty much the ideal woman 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. " How do you think Jo did with this, and do you agree? Why or why not? [20:46] <Shard> I think so CarpeDiem [20:46] <amyluhu> well she definitely doesn't have a sidekick [20:46] <stewiegryf> gotta run! bye all [20:46] <Pellinore> good point Carpe [20:46] *** stewiegryf left #lounge [] [20:46] <Pleshette> bye stewie [20:46] <Shard> I agree I think she showed this throughout the books [20:46] <amyluhu> I agree and ginney seems a little like lily at times [20:46] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> bye stewie [20:46] <Shard> Even in CoS we see brave parts of Ginny and so on [20:46] <Val_Halla> I think she did a great job [20:46] <harrypotterfreak4> i think harry and ginny are like puzzle pieces that fit together seemlessly [20:46] <emeraldflames> I agree with what she did with Harry and Ginny [20:46] <futureweasley> I would be scared senseless to fall in love with "The Boy Who Lived"...and Ginny has never had a doubt that he's the one [20:46] <Shard> Yes HPF [20:46] <tldy969> its weird that in books 3 and 4 theres no mention of wat happened to her w/ riddle [20:46] *** hrh7 has quit [Bye] [20:46] <harryfreak359> I think that they are perfect for each other, [20:47] <daretodream2> I think Jo did a great job. I agree they fit together [20:47] <cbm> I agree, but it was VERY underwritten and that is why we had ship wars [20:47] <harrypotterfreak4> and they will strengthen and challenge each other [20:47] <Aislinn> I think she did brilliantly with this, as i do think that Ginny is his ideal soulmate [20:47] <fawkes28> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the Corner Booth Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/Corner-Booth-f184.html. Don't forget to vote in the latest poll for the next WWW chat here http://www.leakylounge.com/Topic-Poll-WWW-Chat-1-1-t37734.html [20:47] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I think Jo did very well in laying out this relationship. [20:47] <Tanaqui> agreed--having all those older brothers, a father who's nuts about muggle stuff and a protective mother have contributed to who she is when we first see her at hogwarts [20:47] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> In a sense we all fall in love with 'the boy who lived'. The alternative isn't too attractive [20:47] <amyluhu> jo did great as usual [20:47] <Shard> I think Jo did an excellent job with the H/G relationship [20:47] <futureweasley> I do, too, Shard [20:47] <Val_Halla> Pesonally, I thoght Ginny would end up with Harry ever since she put her elbow in the butter dish in book 2 [20:47] *** hrh7 has joined #lounge [20:47] <Poet> I agree, he needs a girl friend that has already "faced" Voldemort or Death Eaters or other obstacles and shown she is fearless [20:47] <amyluhu> i think she will do an even better job with it in book 7 [20:48] <futureweasley> she didn't "give it away", and I really liked the natural progression of their relationship [20:48] <Aislinn> they are kids, growing up - it's natural that their relationship would evolve, and that Harry would not take notice of her when they were only 10 and 11 or 11 and 12 [20:48] <hlstaffiera> I think it is amazing how much Lily and Ginny parallel each other [20:48] <Pleshette> I think it's great how they each had to grow and mature independently but when they came together finally it was right and meant to be [20:48] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I think so too. Not at all superficial [20:48] <Pellinore> is well done so far.. also due to having a lot of focus time in several books to build on it. [20:48] *** Shard has quit [Bye] [20:48] <Aislinn> but the friendship has gradually grown, and we have gradually seen more of the admirable and likeable girl she is [20:48] <MrMcGonagall> Oddly enough, I always see their relationship through the Ginny lens. [20:48] <Aislinn> a natural fit for Harry [20:48] <Aislinn> yes hlstafiera [20:48] <Tanaqui> well, and harry had a few other things on his mind before he 'noticed' ginny [20:49] <Pleshette> interesting Mr.McG smile [20:49] <harryfreak359> I agree Aislinn [20:49] <Tanaqui> i love her patience [20:49] <fw00per> I thought so too Pleshette [20:49] <CarpeDiem> How so Mr.McG? [20:49] <tldy969> if JKR took that much time to develop them as the perfect couple, its weird that she broke them up after a couple weeks [20:49] <emeraldflames> harry is a scary boyfriend, like Jo said, and we all know Ginny can deal with that [20:49] *** DA63 has quit [Bye] [20:49] <futureweasley> Ginny is a tough cookie [20:49] <Pleshette> I loved her Valentine in PoA [20:49] <futureweasley> I have no doubts, because she has no doubts [20:49] <fw00per> oh, they aren't broken up for good [20:49] <MrMcGonagall> I can understand the development of it better from Ginny's perspective. Maybe because I picked up on clues already in Book One. [20:49] <hlstaffiera> but I don't think they willl be broken up for good [20:49] <daretodream2> you can't break up true love tldy no matter how hard you try [20:49] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> No it isn't. A traumatic experience made Harry think of the implications [20:50] <Poet> Book 6 and 7 are like two halves of a book. Hopefully Harry will reconsider wink [20:50] <emeraldflames> well, tldy, I think there's more to come for them in DH [20:50] <harrypotterfreak4> harry gave up ginny for a valid reason, but i don't think ginny is ready to give up harry and will be adament about that [20:50] <An_Eternal_Night> me too Pleshette, it was great! [20:50] <tldy969> theres def something more that has to happen with them before they can get back together tho [20:50] <An_Eternal_Night> but it was CoS, wasn't it? [20:50] <Pleshette> So innocent and sweet [20:50] <CarpeDiem> Ah! Okay, I see what you mean. [20:50] <Aislinn> that was so brave of her pleshette [20:50] <tldy969> cuz otherwise theres no point to splitting them [20:50] <hlstaffiera> i agree too much build up to let it pass in a couple chapters, never to be seen again [20:50] <futureweasley> At the end of HBP when Harry breaks up with Ginny, she states that his noble streak is perhaps the feature which she finds most compelling about him. She also seems to accept his decision with a mimimum of fuss. What are your impressions of this scene? [20:50] <Aislinn> it was [20:50] <harrypotterfreak4> harry is going to see that he needs ginny [20:50] <hlstaffiera> definitly [20:51] <fw00per> she's not digging her claws into him [20:51] <fawkes28> she is brave and knows harry is too noble to change his mind [20:51] <DumbleDebbie> she's not going to be set aside so easily [20:51] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Asks a question about is giving up a relationship for Ginny's protection brave or not? [20:51] <Tanaqui> i was surprised she gave up that easily [20:51] <harryfreak359> She knows how harry is, and she's not going to fight him [20:51] <amyluhu> She knows that she won't let him go even though he is being so admirable [20:51] <Poet> Ginny understands what is going on. They are all feeling the loss of Dumbledore and the attack on Hogwarts deeply. [20:51] <harrypotterfreak4> she'd been the constant in all of this stuff with voldemort and harry is going to see that he needs that to move on and defeat voldy [20:51] <futureweasley> on Tanaqui, me too [20:51] <daretodream2> because she understands what he needs to do and hes going to do it anyway so just let him do it [20:51] <Val_Halla> She's intelligent enough to know that arguing at this point is useless [20:51] <fw00per> she knows he'll be back [20:51] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Nope. Harry had to stand aside for her studying [20:51] <fawkes28> right fwooper - she has enough confidence to know that he still loves her [20:51] <futureweasley> that was very "unGinnylike" [20:51] <Aislinn> she is not going to just go quietly away and sit in a corner [20:51] <cbm> She knows him very well and it did not come as a surprise, and I do not think she has given up [20:51] <emeraldflames> this is part of why she's perfect for him, because she understands that he needs to take down Voldemort [20:51] <Poet> And she's waited for him through other trials before... [20:51] <Pellinore> i was kinda annoyed... if Harry was going to leave her so they didn't look like they were together... going to a huge public event (funeral) wasn't a good idea. [20:51] <Tanaqui> especially the way we've seen her react to harry previously [20:52] <futureweasley> I think she knew that throwing a scene was just going to make it easier for him to leave her [20:52] <tldy969> well its not only her accepting them seperating, but also her accepting that she isnt coming with him to do w/e he needs to do( she still doesnt kno) [20:52] <hrh7> I agree Val Halla. She hasn't given up. [20:52] <amyluhu> She also knows how it is to put others in danger. she understands why he wants to sheild her becauseshe wanted to sheild othersin cos [20:52] <futureweasley> she was mature, and that will be both a blessing for Harry, and his undoing [20:52] <Poet> Well it also makes sense. She has school, and he is going off to on a dangerous mission and won't be able to contact her - or so it seems. [20:52] <fw00per> his undoing?! [20:52] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> He didnt even want Ron and Hermione but they have other ideas [20:52] <Pleshette> how will it be his undoing future? [20:52] <Pleshette> not sure i follow [20:52] <amyluhu> unless she and neville and luna show up to help sometime like christmas holiday poet [20:53] <Tanaqui> and that's how i expected ginny to be as well--like ron and hermione [20:53] <emeraldflames> She definitely hasn't given up, that's the scene where she told Harry she never gave up, probably telling him that she still won't even now [20:53] <Pellinore> Think Ginny gets killed trying to find them FW? [20:53] <futureweasley> I think he'll drive himself nuts about how easily she let go after he's had time to think about it [20:53] <harrypotterfreak4> harry will see that he was wrong and she was right because he needs her and she knows that [20:53] <Aislinn> we haven't seen them together at the wedding yet [20:53] <futureweasley> no Pell...anyway, I hope not! [20:53] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> no. That will be interesting [20:53] <An_Eternal_Night> good point emeraldflames [20:53] <Aislinn> things can change [20:53] <Poet> Too true Aislinn smile [20:53] <CarpeDiem> lol futureweasley - that is a VERY male thing to do smile [20:53] <fw00per> that'll be good aislinn [20:53] <amyluhu> oh goody the wedding [20:54] <futureweasley> I know this, Carpe! I think he will be cool, then, BAM...reality of the situation will level him [20:54] <tldy969> how are wizard weddings gonna work [20:54] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Something to look forward to - or not [20:54] <harrypotterfreak4> harry will go to the wedding and see ginny all beautiful and his heart will do flip flops [20:54] <cbm> I do not think she has let him go, I think she knows that this is just a temporary parting [20:54] <Aislinn> but she will be there for him [20:54] <Pleshette> hee hee [20:54] <Poet> I agree cbm [20:54] <Tanaqui> is ginny in the wedding party? [20:54] <amyluhu> absolutely hpf4 [20:54] <Pellinore> they get transfigured into ropes and tie the knot literally [20:54] <fw00per> LOL [20:54] <Aislinn> she is supposed to be tanaqui [20:54] <Tanaqui> she may not have lots of time to talk with harry if so... [20:54] <DumbleDebbie> lol Pellinore [20:54] <emeraldflames> lol [20:54] <Aislinn> her and Gabrielle [20:54] <CarpeDiem> lol pell [20:55] <Val_Halla> Yes, she's a bridesmaid - yellow dresses, remember? [20:55] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Wearing gold because unlike gabrielle has red hair [20:55] <tldy969> harry isnt going to let her come with him, and she isnt going to let him go without her, so its going to b interesting to see wat she does [20:55] <Poet> No point in arguing with someone over something like your relationship. That is something you can't force. [20:55] <Pleshette> Does anyone think there may be a second wedding? [20:55] <Pellinore> but do those kids know that Poet? ;) [20:55] <harryfreak359> possibly [20:55] <Pleshette> Just though i'd throw that out there [20:55] <fw00per> oh yes, I do I do! [20:55] <amyluhu> not at the beginning of the book [20:55] <cbm> Not until the epilogue [20:55] <DumbleDebbie> maybe in the Epilogue Pleshette [20:55] <Pellinore> better be 4 Pleshette ;) [20:55] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Maybe............Just what cbm says [20:55] <amyluhu> oh yeah i can see many in the epilog [20:56] <Floridagirl8192> i agree cbm [20:56] <hrh7> Tonks and Remus? [20:56] <Pleshette> What an interesting twist if there's an extra one at the beginning [20:56] <Poet> Ginny hasn't forced Harry in the past, so its her nature to be senstive in that way [20:56] <amyluhu> hope so hrh7 [20:56] <tldy969> i dont kno if there wud b point to another wedding in the final chapter [20:56] <CarpeDiem> Agreed Poet. At some point you have to step back and let the other person figure things out. The summer of the 7th book is going to be a big maturing point for harry. He's got a lot to think over and do. [20:56] <futureweasley> Ginny Weasley -- live or die? [20:56] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> They definitely will tie the knot. [20:56] <harryfreak359> Live [20:56] <DumbleDebbie> live [20:56] <tldy969> maybe a proposal or something like that [20:56] <harrypotterfreak4> live [20:56] <Pleshette> Live! [20:56] <hlstaffiera> live [20:56] <An_Eternal_Night> live [20:56] <Floridagirl8192> live [20:56] <fw00per> LIVE [20:56] <daretodream2> live [20:56] <cbm> LIVE [20:56] <fawkes28> live [20:56] <Poet> She lives [20:56] <Aislinn> I really hope she lives [20:56] <amyluhu> maybe the epilog will just show us who is married not all of their weddings [20:56] <harrypotterfreak4> and the key to defeating voldemort [20:56] <Val_Halla> Live!!! [20:56] <emeraldflames> live [20:56] <amyluhu> live [20:56] <fawkes28> wow - i think everyone said live [20:56] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Could die, but luck of 7th child might come into play [20:56] <amyluhu> live [20:56] <fawkes28> smile [20:56] <Pellinore> I want her to live but i can easily see her getting killed [20:56] <Aislinn> I want to see him and her have those 12 kids laugh [20:57] <amyluhu> no.....live [20:57] <fw00per> live live live [20:57] <Pleshette> Me too Ais! [20:57] <fawkes28> lol [20:57] <DumbleDebbie> lol Aislinn [20:57] <CarpeDiem> lol 12 kids...poor Gunny ;) [20:57] <amyluhu> oh yeah 12 kids [20:57] <Poet> Yes Aislinn, Trelawney said so... [20:57] <Tanaqui> i think she'll live--i can't belive molly would be put through that by the author [20:57] <cbm> I think her death would be too much for Harry to deal with [20:57] <fawkes28> no one for half- live? anyone? anyone? laugh [20:57] <An_Eternal_Night> for some reason, I just can't see her being killed [20:57] <amyluhu> ginny is brave remember [20:57] <Pellinore> 7 kids ;o [20:57] <tldy969> yea everyone clearly wants her to live, but harry's right when he says she in danger from voldemort [20:57] <DumbleDebbie> yeah, what did HF say? [20:57] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> 12 kids far too much. Fleur maybe [20:57] <Aislinn> no fawkes! [20:57] <Tanaqui> she may come close to death [20:57] <fawkes28> she said live! can you believe it? [20:57] <hlstaffiera> but she's in danger just being a weasley [20:57] <harryfreak359> biggrin [20:57] <amyluhu> butlove is awfully strong [20:57] <DumbleDebbie> HF said "live" it's official smile [20:58] <tldy969> shes already pretty much died at riddles hands [20:58] <Tanaqui> she may be kidnapped [20:58] <harryfreak359> lol it is [20:58] <fw00per> I forgot about trelawny - that's be hilarious if she were right about 12 kids for Harry [20:58] <amyluhu> i typoed [20:58] <fw00per> *that'd [20:58] <CarpeDiem> GOod point tldy...seems a shame to bring her back and kill her [20:58] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> perhaps only partly right. [20:58] <Tanaqui> she may have to be like sirius and go into seclusion [20:58] <amyluhu> yet love is awfully strong [20:58] <Pleshette> could be tanaqui [20:59] <harrypotterfreak4> thanks for the great chat everyone...i'm out [20:59] <tldy969> well it just seems that if she dies, it wud b alittle repeatitive if voldemort captured her to get to harry [20:59] * Poet passes out wedding mints [20:59] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> terrible though. We don't know [20:59] <tldy969> so it wud probably b another way [20:59] <Aislinn> bye hpf [20:59] <fw00per> thanks poet [20:59] <fawkes28> thanks for coming everyone! smile [20:59] *** harrypotterfreak4 left #lounge [] [20:59] <amyluhu> thanks for having the chat [20:59] <Pleshette> Great chat everyone!
