Not the OP, but while I really liked Ginny in the first five books - she was one of my favs in OotP - in HBP she turned into a classic mean girl in many ways. Calling Fleur "Phlegm"? It might not be a cutting curse, but it's certainly a sort of vicious popular girl stereotype.

Honestly, most of Rowling's female characters ended up acting similar to that in later books, so it's not just a Ginny thing.

I agree that Ginny is rude to Fleur, but it's really hard for me to read the Fleur-Ginny interactions as "classic mean girl stuff". Like... they're not exactly high school classmates jockeying for personality. Fleur is considerably older and Ginny is annoyed about her marrying into the family. That's not a mean girl thing.

And Fleur is a total snob who makes passive-aggressive insults right and left. Nothing about Ginny's disapproval was gonna break her self-esteem, if she was even privy to it.

their mom joined in on it as well and my favorite part of that book was how fleur shut molly the fuck down when she said (rather gleefully) that she probably wouldn't want to marry bill now. fuck molly and ginny.

DA. Lol, it's alright to hate Molly and Ginny. Though I think you're going a bit overboard with Molly 'gleefully' saying she probably won't marry Bill. Her sons face was almost ripped off and really, if anything it just shows how Molly's perception of Fleur's character was way off.

The shut down proves that, and it's all that is needed for Molly to welcome Fleur into the family.

So much this.

Frankly, AYRT's argument feels so profoundly biased it's actually wigging me out a little. I don't even like Ginny that much, but this simplistic, reductive, ungenerous interpretation of her character is odd. Especially since she's a teenager, and frankly, it's pretty normal and natural for a teenager to emit blips of insensitivity here and there. I know very few teenagers who didn't.

*nods*

Is Ginny being an immature brat to somebody she dislikes who is marrying an older brother she looks up to? Yes, although as noted below, she has some provocation. But she's a teenager, and that's a fairly predictable family dynamic.

I didn't care for how Ginny snickered at Luna, a mean girl trait that I've always detested. She strikes me as someone trying to be cool to fit in.

She winds up being friends with Luna.
