Leos {H♥G}: Because in the end all was how it should have been. ♥

~ Welcome to the Official Leo Thread Everyone ~
Home of Ginny and Harry Potter. As well as their three beautiful children James, Albus and Lily



Banner by Oº°‘¨Laura¨‘°ºO

We think Leo (the astrological sign of the lion) is a great representation of Harry and Ginny and here's why:
~ Both are Leos: Harry was born on July 31st and Ginny was born on Aug 11th
~ Both are Gryffindor students (Lions) and quidditch team members
~ Both have fiery spirits that seem to complement each other perfectly
~"They're both very strong and very passionate. That's their connection, and they're remarkable together."-JKR

~What JKR Has To Say About Our Favorite Couple~


JKR Q&A (pre-HBP)
(Red Nose Day Chat) Q: Will Harry ever notice the long-suffering Ginny Weasley?
JKR: You'll see... poor Ginny, eh?

(Dec, 2000 Time Magazine Interview) Q: And what about Ginny (Ron's younger sister?)
JKR: Poor Ginny, languishing in love for Harry, and he's merrily asking out other girls right under her nose! But that's just a boy thing."

(Online Chat 04/03/2004) Q: Do you plan for Ginny to take on a major character role in the next two books?
JKR: Well, now that Ginny has stopped being mute in Harry's presence I think you can see that she is a fairly forceful personality (and she always has been, remember Ron saying that she 'never shuts up' in Chamber of Secrets)?

TLC and Mugglenet's interview with JKR -July 16th, 2005

"The plan was, which I really hope I fulfilled, is that the reader, like Harry, would gradually discover Ginny as pretty much the ideal girl for Harry. She's tough, not in an unpleasant way, but she's gutsy. He needs to be with someone who can stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he's a scary boyfriend in a lot of ways. He's a marked man. I think she's funny, and I think that she's very warm and compassionate. These are all things that Harry requires in his ideal woman. But, I felt — and I'm talking years ago when all this was planned — initially, she's terrified by his image. I mean, he's a bit of a rock god to her when she sees him first, at 10 or 11, and he's this famous boy. So Ginny had to go through a journey as well. And rather like with Ron, I didn’t want Ginny to be the first girl that Harry ever kissed. That's something I meant to say, and it's kind of tied in.

One of the ways in which I tried to show that Harry has done a lot of growing up — in “Phoenix,” remember when Cho comes into the compartment, and he thinks, ‘I wish I could have been discovered sitting with better people,’ basically? He's with Luna and Neville. So literally the identical thing happens in “Prince,” and he's with Luna and Neville again, but this time, he has grown up, and as far as he's concerned he is with two of the coolest people on the train. They may not look that cool. Harry has really grown. And I feel that Ginny and Harry, in this book, they are total equals. They are worthy of each other. They've both gone through a big emotional journey, and they've really got over a lot of delusions, to use your word, together. So, I enjoyed writing that. I really like Ginny as a character."


~ J.K. Rowling (Oct 19th, 2007 ~ New York, Open Book Tour)-
"Ginny and Harry are soulmates, with a passionate connection."

♥ Our Top 5 H&G moments ♥




"We won!" yelled Ron, bounding into sight and brandishing the Silver Cup at Harry. "We won! Four hundred and fifty to a hundred and forty! We won!" Harry looked around; there was Ginny running towards him; she had a hard, blazing look in her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her. After several long moments – or it might have been half an hour – or possibly several sunlit days – they broke apart.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



"Harry, come on."
A much smaller and warmer hand had enclosed his and was pulling him upwards. He obeyed its pressure without really thinking about it. Only as he walked blindly back through the crowd did he realize, from a trace of flowery scent on the air, that it was Ginny who was leading him back into the castle. Incomprehensible voices battered him, sobs and shouts and wails stabbed the night, but Harry and Ginny walked on...

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



"Harry, will you come in here a moment?" It was Ginny.
--------------
Ginny looked up into Harry's face, took a deep breath and said, "Happy Seventeenth." "I didn't know what would be useful. Nothing too big, because you wouldn't be able to take it with you." He chanced a glance at her. She was not tearful; that was one of the many wonderful things about Ginny, she was rarely weepy. He had sometimes thought that having six brothers must have toughened her up. She took a step closer to him. "So then I thought, I'd like you to have something to remember me by, you know, if you meet some Veela when you're off doing whatever you're doing." "I think dating opportunities are going to be pretty thin on the ground, to be honest." "There's the silver lining I've been looking for," she whispered, and then she was kissing him as she had never kissed him before, and Harry was kissing her back, and it was blissful oblivion, better than Firewhisky; she was the only real thing in the world, Ginny, the feel of her, one hand at her back and one in her long, sweet-smelling hair -

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



None of the Death Eaters moved. They were waiting: everything was waiting. Hagrid was struggling, and Bellatrix was panting-and Harry thought inexplicably of Ginny, and her blazing look, and the feel of her lips on his—

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥



And finally, the epilogue.


"All was well"...nuff' said.

Luckily for us we believe Harry has those feelings and they are true to his very soul. Whether or not you agree or disagree with his actions is your choice but to not believe that Harry actually did love Ginny just based on what was written is not being objective at all. It's a fact he loved her. Just as it's a fact his second name and his first born is James.
I completely agree with this! If someone is still ignorant to that fact, than it only proves just how much of a fan they truly are. I couldn't care less.

Hey I noticed I'm not on this Leo List! Can I be added?

Actually, I've met quite a few Harry haters. Generally they base his entire character on his attitude in OotP. I wonder how you can love a book when you hate the main character, and it's written in his POV.

Never got that either. I can understand if they get annoyed by his attitude once in while, like it was in OotP, but to actually hate him.

I've actually seen some people say they hate Harry in HBP and DH and think he was fine in OotP. Most of these people were disappointed with something about the series (a lot were disappointed shippers) and say Harry became a jerk and shot Crucio's at everyone and was shallow for liking Ginny, yadda, yadda, yadda.

It's just so LOL. If Harry got with their person of choice, I doubt he'd be seen as a jerk to them.

Not Harry Potter, that's for sure. I still don't understand how people couldn't see OBHWF coming from a mile away. But that might just be me.

I know, I will never understand how anyone can say that he was just too whiny and bitchy of a character. The only time we ever really saw him like that was in OotP. And for the hell that's kid's been through, I'd say he deserved a little bitch-fest...

Well, most of the time people are delusional. They want things to happen their way. But JKR's the one pulling the strings.

Yeah, I just can't understand why people hate Harry. One girl made a comment in a thread: I want his head to explode, that's how much I hate him.

If I'm kept in the dark about Voldemort's plans, banned from Quidditch, having to deal with an evil hag, serving detention every week, cutting my hand open, and my first girlfriend is still crying about her dead boyfriend, well yeah, that would make me a bit cranky too.

And yet they call themselves Harry Potter fans.

What really makes me go "Bwah?" is the fact that a lot of those same people who hate Harry because of his CAPSLOCK in OotP absolutely love characters like Snape and Malfoy. I'm not trying to bash either of those characters, but they both did and said some terribly cruel things throughout the series (in particular, Snape's "I see no difference" comment to Hermione and his general treatment of Neville were inexcusible, no matter how you look at it). Yet a lot of people happily cut them slack and overlook those things, while crucifying Harry (and Ginny) for every tiny lapse in conduct. This seems thoroughly irrational to me. My mind, it boggles.

Delusional? Haha, I think I know who these haters are.


Harry's kind of annoying sometimes, in ootp he's rude to Ron and Hermione, and unleashed some of his anger on them. However his actions are understandable. He's got enough problems for more than two people have. People should try to understand what he's going through, for a person to experience all that, I wouldn't be surprised if he/she haven't explode yet. Harry's character is just being realistic.

At least there's Ginny who helps and knocks some sense in him.

I admit, my first reaction to OotP Harry wasn't a positive one either but then I realized later on that Jo did her job. She made Harry a typical 15 year old boy. Exactly. He had issues just like all teenagers do. Boy did he ever. And because I could finally identify with that revelation I began to like him again. And lets face it, Harry's pretty easy to love.

I was a bit shocked at first, too, mainly because he'd always been so very sweet in previous books. But then when I considered everything he was dealing with in OotP, I actually became rather impressed that he handled himself as well as he did. And really, by the time he was losing it and screaming in Dumbledore's office after Sirius's death, he was waaaay overdue for a breakdown. I found I couldn't begrudge him his anger at all.
