I don't know if the movies lean towards H/Hr so much as there's more chemistry between those two than any of the other characters. I don't think it was intentional on the director's part.

Ginny never sat well with me too. She seemed annoying and I don't want the annoying one to get with the heroguy. But I could be remembering incorrectly.

It's been a while since I've read the books, but I remember Ginny being fairly irritating in Chamber of Secrets, then great in the next several books, and was fine enough in Half-Blood Prince until she yelled at Hermione. I don't even remember anymore what she yelled at Hermione for, and I'm pretty sure we were supposed to read it was Hermione had it coming, but I distinctly remember my reaction being on the line of "OH HALE NO!" (Hermione is my fave). After that, I had trouble warming up to Ginny ever again.

Perhaps it was Daniel and Emma who unintentionally radiated that chemistry?

Oh good, at least I'm not crazy in finding Ginny annoying, I was thinking that I managed to read the books wrong.

Mostly, it's the directors loving Emma and giving her more lines/scenes. Because poor Dan is pretty terrible with romantic scenes. XD

I personally loved Ginny, but she did have some flaws. They all did, really.

Anon, was your gripe with Ginny vs. Hermione about the Sectumsempra spell? Because yeah, I understand being mad that Ginny sniped at Hermione, but Hermione really *did* come off as being more 'I told you so' about the book rather than worrying that Draco was trying to seriously hurt Harry. I personally just thought it was a bad moment for both girls. =\

Harry wish he didn't do it, but Ginny is sitting there praising Harry for having "something good" up his sleeve. It's obvious that Hermione was in the right here, but either way, it didn't give Ginny the right to be almost come off as questioning Hermione's concern over one of her best friends, and THEN be an immature bitch and personally insult Hermione.

She'd have a nice slap mark on her face that would match quite nicely with her hair if she said that to me.

(not the same anon, btw)

Just to make sure I was reading it right, I pulled out the book again just to be certain.

I don't think it was praise so much as it was being glad he had something strong to defend himself with since Malfoy was going straight to the Crucio curse. Also, re-reading the scene where they did have a spat, Hermione was being a little nit because she was more upset that the book was giving Harry an advantage in Potions that she didn't have, which is when Ginny called her out to get over it.


"Are you telling me, " said Hermione,"that you're going to go back--?"

"And get the book? Yeah, I am," said Harry forcefully. "Listen, without the Prince, I'd never have won the Felix Felicis. I'd never have known how to save Ron from poisoning, I'd never have--"

"--got a reputation for Potions brilliance that you don't deserve," said Hermione nastily.

No seriously, pull out pg. 532 and look at it--Hermione wasn't in the right either, here. It's only after being called out by Ginny that she starts to backtrack and say she's glad Harry's ok, but the spell was bad because it got him banned from Quidditch and that somehow destroyed Gryffindor's chances at Quidditch--which is also an indirect slap to the rest of the Gryffindor team, who have been able to get along without him. Hermione may have been right about the spell being bad, no one was contesting that (not even Ginny)--but that wasn't why Hermione was upset. She was pissed about being beaten by Harry in Potions.

So no, neither girl comes off with a particularly spotless image after this scene. =\

(I understand. I'm certain there's more than one Hermione fan miffed about this particular scene--that's why I made sure to pull out my book instead of trusting my hazy memory. I'm on a re-reading spree anyhow, but I'm currently on book 5, lol)

[(Anonymous)]

LOL seriously?

Hermione was nagging Harry abt the book, abt marks and then tried to use Quidditch to get Ginny on her side saying she should be upset with Harry because of what it did to their chances in the match. So not only did she say Ginny should be upset with Harry because of Quidditch, she then insulted Ron and Ginny saying they couldn't win without Harry - when they had done exactly that the year before. So much faith in her friends huh?

So really it was Hermione that was questioning someone's concern over a friend and being a bitch and not a good friend cause she insulted everyone there. I'm sorry but Hermione was quite frankly an uber bitch there and deserved more than Ginny gave her - who the fuck cares abt marks and being right at a time like that? Hermione who goes about it in a very nasty way. There are no words to describe how much I hate her in that scene.

Also, this is something I wish the Hermione fans would acknowledge, but what Ginny said is exactly the kind of stuff Hermione has said to others in the past - so why can't Hermione be called out when she's being a twit?

[(Anonymous)]

Hermione was being such a bad friend and an utter bitch in that scene, that my love for Ginny was sealed with that line. No one ever calls Hermione on her shit and I was sick of it. Fucking twat, who whines about marks when shit like that happens? But then again, I find Hermione to be obnoxious and annoying 90% of the time so perhaps that's where our opinions differ.

[(Anonymous)]

an utter bitch

Ugh. No. Just no.

[(Anonymous)]

My word, things certainly degenerated in this thread when someone starts demonizing perfectly ordinary characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Wording may have been a bit strong but that scene does no favours for Hermione who's fretting about Harry having a reputation in marks that he didn't deserve and going "I told you so" when he's feeling like shit. Kind of the right word.
