Leos {H♥G} ~ The Only One He Ever Feared: Cockblocker!Ron!

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



Banner by emeraldflames

We think that '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 firery 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 Others Have Said About H/G ~

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.
~ JKR ~

"I'd have to say that I was incredibly thrilled that Ginny and Harry got together!"
- Chris Rankin -

"My character has played her part and played it well, and now it's Ginny's turn, just as it happens in the books. I think her character deserves Harry's love."
- Katie Leung -

"It was interesting to see what happened with the relationship between Ginny and Harry and I think it ended well. Definitely!"
- Bonnie Wright -

As a fan, are you a shipper? Who do you like?
"I ship all the normal ones - Ginny/Harry, Ron/Hermione."
- Evanna Lynch -

It'll be a family affair, Rupert Grint believes, with his Ron cuddling up to pal Hermione, while Harry hooks up with Ron's sister, Ginny.
"Harry's sort of a Weasley anyhow since my parents have taken him in,"
- Rupert Grint -

Well, here's the thing, it was in the fifth movie too, that a lot of attention was being paid to your kiss, you know... the first kiss of Harry. And now, going into the sixth movie, if memory serves, it's Ron who, you know, gets all the hot make out sessions.
Well, I get... I get a kiss in this one! I kiss his sister!
- Daniel Radcliffe -

"We've been filming for 6 weeks now and it's going really well, it's a romantic comedy actually. He has a thing for Bonnie, [Ginny Weasley] , who's a lovely character and he does, he gets to kiss someone else in Half-Blood Prince, which is quite the romantic scene."{CroatiaRTL}
"There are many subtleties in their relationship, and a lot of sexual and emotional tension"
- David Yates -

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.
___________________________________________________



"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.
- - - - -
"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.
_________________________________________________



"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.
_________________________________________________



"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.
- - - - -
"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.
_________________________________________________



"Harry, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
"Huh?" He looked around. Ginny Weasley, looking very windswept, had joined him at the library table where Harry had been sitting alone.
-----
"You seem really down lately," Ginny persisted. "You know, I'm sure if you just talked to Cho..."
"It's not Cho I want to talk to," said Harry bruskly.
"Who is it, then?" asked Ginny, watching him closely.
"I...." He glanced around to make quite sure that nobody was listening; Madam Pince was several shelves away, stamping out a pile of books for a frantic-looking Hannah Abbott. "I wish I could talk to Sirius," he muttered. "But I know I can't."
Ginny continued to watch him thoughtfully. More to give himself something to do than because he really wanted any, Harry unwrapped his Easter egg, broke off a large bit and put it into his mouth. "Well," said Ginny slowly, helping herself to a bit of egg too, "if you really want to talk to Sirius, I expect we could think of a way to do it...."
"Come on," said Harry dully. "With Umbridge policing the fires and reading all our mail?"
"The thing about growing up with Fred and George," said Ginny thoughtfully, "is that you sort of start thinking that anything's possible if you've got enough nerve."
Harry looked at her. Perhaps it was the effect of the chocolate-Lupin had always advised eating some after encounters with dementors-or simply because he had finally spoken aloud the wish that had been burning inside him for a week, but he felt a bit more hopeful....
_________________________________________________



A roar of celebration erupted from the hole behind her. Harry gaped as people began to scream at the sight of him; several hands pulled him into the room. "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.
_________________________________________________



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—
-----
Any moment, the people for whom he had tried to die would see him, lying apparently dead, in Hagrid's arms.
[...snip...]
"No!"
"No!"
"Harry! HARRY!"
Ron's, Hermione's, and Ginny's voices were worse than McGonagall's; Harry wanted nothing more than to call back...

Thanks to Oº°‘¨Laura¨‘°ºO for this beautiful banner!

A video about how Harry and Ginny feel about each other, and it's mainly from Harry's PoV. It's also sort of HBP canon in a way, but minus the breakup.
Tired Of You
Harry was tired of so much in his life, but he never got tired of Ginny.

Daniel, Bonnie, Katie, David Heyman and David Yates talk about H/G and HBP.

Better Than Me
Set around HBP and DH. Harry splits up with Ginny, thinking that since he is a marked man, he would be putting Ginny in danger if they stayed together. This is Harry's feelings at the time.

I never post on Leaky and for good reason. I just go on there for the news.

One of the reasons why I quit IMDB is because the users there are so bitchy and elitist. Many prefer to blind themselves to other people's opinions and whenever I state an opinion that counters theirs, they tell me I am not letting people have opinions. But opinions lead to other opinions, hence the term debates. Anyway it's just a bunch of forums full of elitist snobs without any rules except you can report threads for any reason you want, because administrators there are not human, but machines, and it's a haven for trolls. May the troll rule IMDB with an iron fist, because there's no other site that would allow that. Esespecially not the FF.

The Ginny/Bonnie hate is idotic and hypocritical. I think the root of it is shipping. Fanon. That's just what I think.

I wonder about the bathrobe...is it flimsy? It looks like it goes down to her knees.

There's a Ginny hate thread on IMDB. I never understand why people spend so much time on something/someone they don't like. What a waste of energy. But yeah, I've seen alot of Ginny hate .. a big percentage doesn't like her in fandom but the majority of stuff I see from them is hypocritical crap or just wrong. I'm not saying misinterpretation but just like ... made up stuff. Though people do read alot of her actions waaaaay differently than I do.

I don't know ... that bathrobe looks kinda thin

Like I said, the root of all evil in HP is the fanon. My opinion on Fanon is that it trashes a wonderful work of literature. Most great works are never appreciated for what they are for years after publication.

THat was a nice touch giving Ginny a flimsy robe to wear. It really brings a sensuality to her, and if my "calculations" are correct, Ginny will be the first female character in the Harry Potter films to be portrayed in such an unusual way.

I'm quite a big Star Trek fan in addition to Harry Potter and you couldn't be more right. I'm still trying to find a good Star Trek forum where opinions can be shared and not debated.

Ah Ginny does have a sensual side to her

I like fanon in that it helps in fill in missing gaps and pieces and you can share your love and appreciation of characters.But unfortunately, it seems like there are only certain parts of fanon that you can really mingle in. Like basically, where your opinions are shared and what not .... stay in those places that have a similar POV or else be prepared to bang your head against your computer

I dub this one the sunlit days corner of the fandom

The sad thing about online fandom is that for a significant proportion of it (certain areas of Livejournal spings to mind ...), it doesn't inspire proper, reasonable debate at all - it just allows people of vaguely similar mind to band together, back up each others opinions and fuel each others' egos, until you get vicious sub-groups repeating the same tired, cliched arguments they've read a thousand times before, seemingly unable to think for themselves - they all merge into one very dull whinging sound.

The Ginny hate is just one example, because you'll see the same tired old arguments repeated almost word-for-word, and no matter how many times that you prove that the arguments are simply not supported by the text (and, for the most part, they just aren't - a lot of it isn't even a matter of opinion, it's just fact), they don't stop.

It's just a good job they're a tiny minority, though, and a few thousand people whinging on Livejournal is barely a dent in the millions of readers (most of whom don't even go on HP websites) who read the books.

Anyway, rant over. I'll just say I'm glad I found this place, where a H/G thread can live side-by-side with threads for other ships relatively harmoniously (excuse the pun ).


This is a song that always reminds me of Harry and Ginny now - it's a cover version of a song called "Interlude", sung by JKR's favourite singer-songwriter Morrissey (she once appeared on a documentary about him!), and Siouxie, from the Banshees. It's really nice, and makes me think of those few weeks they had together in HBP.

Wet hair, bathrobe, nothing underneath, Bonnie must have been keeping in shape in order to play a very different HP girl. We get wowed enough from Hermione, and welcome Luna for a change with her unique views on things, and now Ginny is going to give the films something entirely different. I can't wait.

Yeah, egos is another root of all evil in the fandom. You get that in all fandoms, Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, and the new kids on the block Twilight. HP is not unique when it comes to egos.

Lovely post. ITA. I especially liked your highlight of the egos ... everyone wants to be a BNF. Whatever people. I think the HP fandom while big is also a very small minority of people who read the books. I mean I see alot of people here on FF and LJ and I'm sure maybe other forums as well ( I have a COS account I haven't used in eons lol) .. stuff like that. Some of them are also in the Twilight fandom from what I have seen.

I'm actually very fine in my corner of the fandom which is mostly here and even though I don't use my LJ account ... I read stories there. Fine by me. It's a happy place. I do like FF quite a bit for exactly that reason. Or even, in a H/G or Ginny thread .. it seems to be basically those people that LIKE them posting ya know. Makes a nice change.

ETA - Sorry didn't mean to sound like I was analyzing an essay there. I like that songs ... thanks. This one song "You and Me" by Lifehouse used to remind me ALOT of H/G.

That's what I like to read, whether on livejournal or here or wherever - people who love the books and love writing about them. I just don't understand it when people get so angry about them.
