Harry Potter - Leos H/G: Hermione's OTP. Smart girl that Hermione *again* because Amy's such a dork!

iamFez · 03-04-2007, 04:56 PM

Welcome to the official Leo thread everyone. Home of Harry James Potter and his beautiful bride to be Ginevra Molly Weasley.

Artwork by Nicole

We think Leo (the astrological sign of the lion) is a great representation of Harry and Ginny and here's why:
1) Both are Leos: Harry was born on July 31st and Ginny was born on Aug 11th
2) Both are Gryffindor (Lions) students and quidditch team members
3) Both have firery spirits that seem to compliment each other perfectly

If these don't say match made in heaven, then heaven must not exist.

What J.K. Rowling says about Harry and Ginny

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
MA: Did Ginny send Harry the valentine?
JKR: Yeah, bless her.
MA: Was it a Tom Riddle thing, or Ginny Weasley?
JKR: No, Ginny Weasley.
MA: Well, she got paid back for it.
JKR: [laughs] Eventually.
MA: I think you set that up from the train compartment scene [in book one], where he was watching — all the relationships, that scene probably set it up.
JKR: I think so. I hope so. So you liked Harry/Ginny, did you, when it happened?
ES: We've been waiting for this for years!
JKR: Oh, I'm so glad.
MA: Oh my gosh, that kiss!
JKR: Yeah.
ES: It actually materialized!
JKR: It actually happened, I know! I felt a little bit like that.
MA: Had you been trying to get them —
JKR: Well I always knew that that was going to happen, that they were going to come together and then part.
ES: Were you always -----ing it? [We can’t figure out what Emerson actually said here.]
JKR: Well, no, not really, because 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.

Katie Leung ~ GOF premiere: "Well, I think Harry was supposed to be with Ginny all along, I mean, I knew from the start, so I don't want to break their relationship apart!"

Our Favourite HBP scene: Chapter 24
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. The room had gone very quiet. Then several people wolf-whistled and there was an outbreak of nervous giggling. Harry looked over the top of Ginny's head to see Dean Thomas holding a shattered glass in his hands and Romilda Vane looking as though she might throw something. Hermione was beaming, but Harry's eyes sought Ron. At last he found him, still clutching the Cup and wearing an expression appropriate to having been clubbed over the head. For a fraction of a second they looked at each other, then Ron gave a tiny jerk of the head that Harry understood to mean, "Well – if you must."
The creature in his chest roaring in triumph, Harry grinned down at Ginny and gestured wordlessly out of the portrait hole. A long walk in the grounds seemed indicated, during which – if they had time – they might discuss the match.

Chapter 25
The fact that Harry Potter was going out with Ginny Weasley seemed to interest a great number of people, most of them girls, yet Harry found himself newly and happily impervious to gossip over the next few weeks. After all, it made a very nice change to be talked about because of something that was making him happier than he could remember being for a very long time, rather than because he had been involved in horrific scenes of Dark magic.
"You'd think people had better things to gossip about," said Ginny, as she sat on the common-room floor, leaning against Harry's legs and reading the Daily Prophet. "Three Dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest."
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail," said Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. "Much more macho."
"Thanks," said Harry, grinning. "And what did you tell her Ron's got?"
"A Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where."
Ron scowled as Hermione rolled around laughing.

But Ron's tolerance was not to be tested much as they moved into June, for Harry and Ginny's time together was becoming increasingly restricted. Ginny's O.W.L.s were approaching and she was therefore forced to revise for hours into the night. On one such evening, when Ginny had retired to the library and Harry was sitting beside the window in the common room, supposedly finishing his Herbology homework but in reality reliving a particularly happy hour he had spent down by the lake with Ginny at lunch-time, Hermione dropped into the seat between him and Ron...

PM the thread started or one of the mods if you want to be added to our list.

**baileycat** · 03-04-2007, 05:02 PM

Nice.

iamFez · 03-04-2007, 05:09 PM

Okay before the end of the thread we were discussing Patronus.

Spoiler:

Like what was said Dumbledore's Patronus is a magical animal since it's a phoenix. And, Tonks Patronus changed to a warewolf.

So I don't think it matters if the animal is magical or not

space_cowgirl · 03-04-2007, 05:11 PM

Ditto.

Spoiler:

Question. What is the purpose of the test screening if they're leaving out important plot points? (No sarcasm intended.)

iamFez · 03-04-2007, 05:17 PM

Spoiler:

Just to see how certain things go well with the audience. Like Amy said before they left out the Harry/DD scene from the end of GoF at it's test screening. Plus we know that David Yates filmed 45 minutes of other footage. This might be a way of working out what they can take out to add in.

**baileycat** · 03-04-2007, 05:19 PM

Spoiler:

yeah, I'm rethinking my stance on the unicorn thing. You smart people have convinced me

As for the testscreening lack of scenes. It could be that the scenes have been shot and it take the test screeners inquiry and demands to get them back into the final cut. Or at the very least put them on the DVD. *shrugs*

I just saw the article about Rupert not going to Equus. I can see it that he and Dan talked and Dan said it was okay if he didn't want to go. But as far as everyone else? Heck, the general public is seeing him, any professional actor wouldn't have any qualms of doing it infront of his peers. Be it teenagers or adults. Dan's already said he's comfortable with his body and the nude scene in general so it's probably just a personal preference.

Bonnie's friend said this. "bonnie said we could come, but that was ages ago, i will have to remind her." and that was back in late January.

iamFez · 03-04-2007, 05:23 PM

The guy from Leaky PM'ed me and he's saying the same as IMdb.

Spoiler:

Quote:

I am sorry to say, the posters on IMDB are correct. She is just there; but, you do see her power is demonstrated when she wields her wand. The only foreshadowing to her interest in Harry is a glance she gives him and they sort of look at eachother then quickly look away.

So they share a look/moment? Yeah, I think stuff was just taking out of the test screening and I'm certain Jack's info is right!

skylines · 03-04-2007, 05:24 PM

Hooray for the new thread!

I wonder if that poster over at Leaky will reveal anything the guys over at imdb might have missed?

**baileycat** · 03-04-2007, 05:26 PM

Spoiler:

OMG!!!!
I'm dancing around the room right now. Seriously? OMG!!!!!! Yup, that's sooo enough for me.

iamFez · 03-04-2007, 05:28 PM

Spoiler:

I know I'd love to see that look! That would be a mini-movie moment!

space_cowgirl · 03-04-2007, 05:32 PM

Spoiler:

Okay, as far as movie foreshadowing, that's pretty clear. And I'm happy. But, wait, Fez, does that mean that guy at Leaky's confirming what's in the test screening...or what's in the final cut?

skylines · 03-04-2007, 05:33 PM

Spoiler:

Nevermind, so he reiterated pretty much the same info? Although, Harry and Ginny sharing a look and glancing away quickly is new. I'm grinning stupidly right now. Is it sad that such a small thing makes me want to do cartwheels around the room?

I've decided I'm not going to sweat it anymore. Regardless, of how much we get this movie I'm going to enjoy it and look forward to HBP when we'll finally get to watch our couple in action. If Ginny can be patient so can I. lol

Spoiler:

Depending on whether or not you thought the Ron/Hermione arm grab was a subtle forshadowing in POA or not I guess.

For me? This says they haven't forgotten H/G and they're teasing us. And it's working, darn it.

Now, WHERE exactly do they share this look? Did you give him a follow-up question Fez?

Spoiler:

Amy, you hurt me you really do! Like I, me a H/G shipper wouldn't ask a follow up question! *gasp*

I've asked for what scene, if there were close-ups, context, etc! I think the poor guy will regret sending me a PM!

As for what he was confirming, he only saw the same test screening the others did.

Spoiler:

<sigh> I'm going to love that moment. That one is different from the Sad!Ginny moment, right? I still wish that Ginny actually had some dialogue with Harry. Or any at all, I'm not picky. lol

Hopefully there is more to Ginny than that, like Jack said, but I admit I'm still steeling myself up to the possibility that the test screening=basically the movie we're getting.
