Leos H/G ~ Only Ginny knows how to make Harry's birthday a blissful happy one ~

Welcome to the official Leo thread everyone. Home of Ginny and Harry Potter. Aswell as their 3 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:
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

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.


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!"

You're Still The One A Harry & Ginny Fan Art Site

Our favourite H/G scenes (books 1-7):
From PS/SS:
The train began to move. Harry saw the boys' mother waving and their sister, half laughing, half crying, running to keep up with the train until it gathered too much speed; then she fell back and waved. Harry watched the girl and her mother disappear as the train rounded the corner.

From CoS:
"Ginny!" Harry muttered, sprinting to her and dropping to his knees. "Ginny -- don't be dead -- please don't be dead --" He flung his wand aside, grabbed Ginny's shoulders, and turned her over. Her face was white as marble, and cold as ice, yet her eyes were closed, so she wasn't Petrified. But then she must be --
"Ginny, please wake up," Harry muttered desperately, shaking her. Ginny's head lolled hopelessly from side to side.
[...snip...]
"You've got to help me, Tom," Harry said, raising Ginny's head again. "We've got to get her out of here. There's a basilisk...I don't know where it is, but it could be along any moment.... Please help me --"
Riddle didn't move. Harry, sweating, managed to hoist Ginny half off the floor, and bent to pick up his wand again.

From PoA:
"Ah, there's Penelope!" said Percy, smoothing his hair and going pink again. Ginny caught Harry's eye and they both turned away to hide their laughter as Percy strode over to a girl with long, curly hair, walking with his chest thrown out so that she couldn't miss his shiny badge.

From GoF:
"He -- er -- just asked Fleur Delacour to go to the ball with him," said Ginny. She looked as though she was fighting back a smile, but kept patting Ron's arm sympathetically.
[...snip...]
"She's part Veela," said Harry. "You were right -- her grandmother was one. It wasn't your fault, I bet you just walked past when she was turning on the old charm for Diggory and got a blast of it -- but she was wasting her time. He's going with Cho Chang."
Ron looked up.
"I asked her to go with me just now," Harry said dully, "and she told me."
Ginny had suddenly stopped smiling.

Okay now we need to get to work. We need new artwork, fanfic links, book quotes etc. to update our brand new thread celebrating our canon 'family' ship. I've already changed the opening welcome.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ETA: Okay guys, how should we do this? I want to put a selection of memorable moments from DH but I also want to keep some of our eariler moments too. Should we have a vote on the top 5 moments and post them? If we can find artwork that depicts the scene that would also help make it pretty too. I think we should have fun with this, so help me out.

No more spoiler tags!

Thanks for starting the new thread Amy! Love the title!

I want to keep the happy hours moment from HBP and of course the first kiss.
How about we add the Birthday kiss with the art Mudblood did earlier? So we'll two or three H/G moments from both books and then a picture of the kids with descriptions underneath.

ETA-- How about these as fanfics?

Yeah. It's tricky to figure out what to keep and what to delete. I want to cut down the JKR interview. Not entirely but just maybe use one quote from it.

I love the HBP's moments but now that we have DH we can't keep everything. It would just be too large so we have to be selective. That's why I think a vote of everyone's top 5 throughout the series would work. Also I can decrease the size of the member list to one point, thereby making more room.

What does everyone think of having just 5 fics recs? And we can keep them updated with each new thread. It's always easy to find new and great fics out there with all our resources we have now.

Only five fic recs is fine. We'll have more room.

Top 5 H/G moments throughout the series...
The First Kiss
Happy Hours
Silver Lining Kiss
Would the epilogue count?

I can only think of four, but that's only because I'm thinking of the happy ones that I liked.

Stopping in before I need to get to work to say I love the new thread! We're allowed to talk about DH without the spoiler tags now, right? I love seeing 'Ginny and Harry Potter' written on the beginning post along with mention of their children's names. I love our ship so much. :D

I can't even begin to narrow down which moments to put up because I love them all. The idea of voting for the top 5 moments seems like the most pragmatic solution.

I'm thinking about combining all of our favorite artists rendition of the birthday kiss into one piece side by side. That way they'll be altogether on an equal level.

Love the new thread!

Guys, before you add any art by Mudblood she's asked on her LJ a couple of weeks ago that you ask permission before using it anywhere. Some people have been posting commissioned art and actually stealing her art.

So you should ask her first. You want me to?

Oh, and we need an art of the happy family!

Marta hasn't done one of the kiss yet has she?

All those moments are great. I love too the moment Harry sees her before he is going to "die" and that Ginny is his last thought.

I think Marta's only done the R/Hr kiss so far.

Is that what your planning on keeping from the JKR interview?

Funny story: When I was 7 my parents took my brothers and me down to the park to have our portraits painted by a watercolourist. She was fantastic because somehow she painted me with a smile on my face when I can remember vividly sitting for the poor girl bawling my head off. I had just been stung by a bee and needless to say I wasn't really in the mood to sit still. Cambryn's portraits gave me a flashback to that unfortunate day. My parents still have the paintings on their bedroom wall at home.

I have the birthday kiss graphic done but I'll wait until we have permission to post it.
