Harry Potter - Leos H/G: Rowling has all but said, "Duh."

**baileycat** · 07-01-2007, 07:16 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...

Post away my Leos.

emeraldflames · 07-01-2007, 07:27 PM

I'm just going to bring over my last post, since the last thread just ended:

First up, YAY EVANNA! She's a Leo and a Sidekicker! I thought she shipped H/Hr, though? Hmm. Well, whatever. Her answer for Luna/Dumbledore is hilarious. She cracks me up! Her and Bonnie were so cute in their little interview on that behind the scenes footage.

Also, this picture:

Quote:

SO CUTE.

Look at Ginny's untucked shirt like Ron's!

Also, did you guys see this quote with David Yates from Movie Magic? I saw part of the answer at the Sidekick thread the other day, but not the whole thing.

Quote:

MM: What do you think is the underlying strength of the storyline of HBP?

David: It's a great coming of age story, ultimately. The romantic elements of it will really be key to it--Harry's unrequited feelings for Ginny Weasley, and the relationship that will develop between Hermione and Ron is delightful and funny and tender and true. There's sort of a universality to the kind of way these romantic engagements or unrequited moments play out. I think anyone who has grown up with a crush on someone or fumbled with a first sort of relationship, will absolutely get what Jo has given us in that book. There's alots of stuff that's going to be fun to shoot, and I can't wait until we get to it.

OMFGSQUEEEEEE! Harry's feelings for Ginny and R/Hr will be "KEY" to the story for HBP!

**baileycat** · 07-01-2007, 07:38 PM

And David, we can't wait to see it!!!

Harry's unrequited feelings for Ginny was so delicious to read. Just picturing Dan trying to play it cool around her and failing miserably. And at the same time fighting off the feeling of betrayal with Ron. Oh man, this is going to be so good.

I still haven't downloaded the 100mg file. I'm hoping a smaller one will be available. Or some kind-hearted soul would convert it and upload it to youtube instead.

Wilpen · 07-01-2007, 08:45 PM

Love the title and love David's words!

It's obvious this guy knows Rowling's romantic stories to perfection and that's very good news for us.

marybongiovi · 07-01-2007, 08:45 PM

Ohh i agree! I can't wait to see this!

**baileycat** · 07-02-2007, 03:02 PM

Are we back?... testing testing. hello?
ETA: YES!

Yes we are *finally*

anyway new thread

london premiere tomorrow!!

LooBitteTundiLoo · 07-02-2007, 03:13 PM

I'm happy that he said the romance from book 6 is gonna play such a key role in the film. I loved reading those parts in the book and can't wait to see how they are put on the screen. Yay for Yates directing again!

Leo-4-Life · 07-02-2007, 03:20 PM

It's working!!

And yes, the London premiere is tomorrow!

Lucy Pearl · 07-02-2007, 03:20 PM

Yay, we are back! I've been trying randomly all yesterday and today to get onto FF. It better not go out tomorrow during the premiere.

Oh, David Yates, stop saying all the right things! I can feel my will to keep my hopes down for HBP weakening.

DaParTyGirL · 07-02-2007, 03:29 PM

I'm so excited for the premiere tomorrow, especially because you can view it online LIVE!!

**baileycat** · 07-02-2007, 03:38 PM

Yeah. I only wish I could watch it live. I'll be knee deep in work and I don't think my boss will allow me to watch it while I work. But I think it will also be recorded too like they did for GOF so I'll have to be satisfied to watch that instead.

BTW I did get to see the French BtS download from youtube. Did anyone catch Dan give Katie a peck on the cheek as they walked out after talking to David (during the Kiss scene). It's about 3/4 the way through the video. OMG! I think that was the most adorable thing I've seen! He's so sweet.

ETA: oh also while FF was down we found another quote from Katie about H/G

Quote:

Latino Review: And, lastly, do you think we’ll see Cho in The Deathly Hallows?

Leung: Do I think or would I like? I don’t know. I don’t think she’s as significant anymore as she was. She basically was there to convey that Harry is growing up into this adolescent teenager and he’s got hormones, but then he moves on to Ginny in The Half-Blood Prince, doesn’t he? And I think they’re a very good match. So I don’t think she’ll pop up in The Deathly Hallows.

DaParTyGirL · 07-02-2007, 04:04 PM

He. I love Katie, she seems to be a big Leo

I didn't saw the french Bts yet because I don't wanna be spoiled but I saw a cap at another forum where Dan gives her a kiss,too adorable.

iamFez · 07-02-2007, 04:05 PM

I noticed the peck!

Looks like Quidditch will make it into the HBP movie after all!
