Leos ~ H♥G: "The relationship between them, I think it ended well. Definitely." ~ BW

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

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.

From OotP:
"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....

From HBP:
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.

From DH:
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...

I had to trim the title slightly. But it fits now.

Post away Leos.

Thanks!


At the DoM!


I love how this was shot! And, it looked amazing in 3D in the IMAX!


"Stand back, Ginny! I'll protect you!" - Harry


Any cap that has Harry and Ginny this close I love as an icon maker (who really should be making icons again!)








Time to run!


Click for larger view! - I love how it takes a wee while after everyone straightens up before H/G let go of each other! It's like they can't stop touching!




Ginny rocks! And, yeah Harry knows it!




Uh, oh!




Run like the wind!







The other picspam is coming in a few minutes since I couldn't just copy/paste the code from the old thread 'cause it's closed!

Click for larger just to squee over how Ginny's looking at Harry here!

It was indeed.

Loving the caps. I still question why they put Dan in the sport jacket. Professor Potter leading the way.

This is my favourite of the first bunch. Kickass Ginny.


And I adore the quick glance back right after he said they have something worth fighting for. Yeah Harry, your future family.

Yay, new thread!! I love the quote from Bonnie! I don't think we've ever used a quote by her before.

lol, I love that Ginny ran behind Harry in this bit.

Oh check it out, they're both staring at the veil.

This is one of my favorite caps in the entire movie. The sextet is ! And I love how R/Hr, H/G and N/L are all sort of grouped together. It makes my shipper heart squee.

Ginny's look at Harry is adorable. And I'm with Laura, I love that Hermione's also looking at Ron, it just makes it all the more awesome.

This whole scene was just perfect. That's right Harry, you've really got something to fight for.

Yay, to the new thread!

The OOTP picspam makes me happy. Thank you for posting it, Fez.

Okay. Google and I are on a roll. I just found a new Bonnie and Katie article but it's in Spanish. I ran it through a translator and, from the gist of it, they talk about the HBP kiss. I can't tell if Bonnie says they've filmed it yet or not. I read it as not filmed yet but that can't be right.

Any H/G Spanish speakers willing to give a better translation? Pretty please?

I don't speak Spanish, so it's hard for me to understand, but yes, that article sounds like Bonnie hasn't done the kissing scene yet. This is what the translator says for me:

Perhaps when it arrives the moment for filming I will be nervous, but now I feel well.

And this interview was from the DVD launch?

If this is true and that means the kiss has not been shot yet, then what the heck did Dan mean? If it hasn't been shot yet, then I can still have hope it'll be like the book and Hermione will be there.

Okay this is what I got (I put it into a translator)-

Quote:
She happens to be the shy younger sister of the Weasley family, and the girl who steals the heart of Harry Potter. One of the greater challenges for the young actress Bonnie Wright.

Bonnie gives life to the personage of Ginny Weasley in the saga of the teen magician, and will become one of the main personages in last the two films of the series, Harry Potter and Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, she will be the lucky girl who will kiss Harry Potter.

"It is very exciting and I have enjoyed my character very much, I am sure that it is now going to be very rewarding when Ginny takes a more important page in the life of Harry, it is going to be very interesting to see", she explained, in an interview during the presentation of the DVD Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The actress, who has participated in the five films until now, said that surely she will feel nervous when the moment arrives for filming the important scenes and of kissing the teen wizard.

"Perhaps when it arrives the moment for filming I will be nervous, but now I feel well. I think that Katie did a well job (the scene of the kiss in the fifth part of the series), it was a great moment."

"Katie was under a lot of pressure, but she was very positive. It is always the subject if you are going it to do a scene like that and I think that she did it very well, because I enjoyed it very much. I hope to not have much pressure during the moment, but now it's good, I obtained one at least (kiss)", commented. (??So they've kissed?)

Katie Leung, who is part of the sixth part of the saga, said to be sure that Bonnie will interpret the new love of Harry Potter without a problem, and she is far from feeling sad, because her character will no longer be important in the love life of the magician, she is very grateful for the oppurtunity. Without being an actress she defeated 3 thousand girls to interpret the personage.

"The famous scene of the kiss in this film (the Order of the Phoenix) was very difficult because we did it over and over again and there were cameras in all the angles, and everybody wanted to see it. My character is already fulfilled and he did it well, and now he moves on to Ginny, as he is raised in the books. I believe that her character deserves the love of Harry, and Bonnie has made an excellent work of interpreting it ", assured Leung that studies photography and thinks to follow its race of actress.
Best I could do.
