~ 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,"[i]
- 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 -

Matt Lewis at Dragon*Con August 2008 was asked about the H/G stuff in the HBP film:
"Oh yeah, that stuff is brilliant! With Harry and Ginny and Dean, it's all really, really fun, and it's going to be great to watch!"
- Matt Lewis -

"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...

To repost what IceKat said on the last thread...

Some things were cut, of course, and they added one scene in (with Rowling's approval) that added to the pacing and gave it a more tense, desperate feel.

I told him that I was looking extremely forward to Daniel & Bonnie's H/G scenes together and his eyes brightened and he grinned: "Oh yeah, that stuff is brilliant! With Harry and Ginny and Dean, it's all really, really fun, and it's going to be great to watch!" He sounded very enthusiastic about it.

Can. Not. Wait.

(PS: Matthew Lewis is an absolute sweetheart!!!

Thanks for the new thread!

That info totally completed my day.

I'm so excited to see all the Harry/Ginny/Dean stuff.

kjb13248 · 09-01-2008, 04:18 PM

Wow, that is great! Sounds like Matthew Lewis is a Leo!

Oº°‘¨Laura¨‘°ºO · 09-01-2008, 04:19 PM

Yay Matt was already such a hardcore sidekicker and now we can add him to the Honorary Leo Members aswell

Gean · 09-01-2008, 04:21 PM

That's a great idea!

He does!

We should add his comment about H/G in the OP.

emeraldflames · 09-01-2008, 04:21 PM

Yeah, I think we can add Matt Lewis to the list of Leos? Y/N?

Also, Amy posted this on the last thread. There's a new French calendar out and it included the same Ginny/Harry image as the other calendar:

There was a lot of Draco and Dumbledore on the French one and none of Hermione again. So I'm glad Ginny made this. There's a good one of Ron but I can't find a larger version of it.

pennylane_4 · 09-01-2008, 04:24 PM

New thread!

And the title!

*snogs Matt for saying it* Thanks for telling us about it, IceKat!

And yes, I think we should definitely add him to the list of honorary Leos.

kjb13248 · 09-01-2008, 04:26 PM

Heh, the angle of that photo makes Bonnie's face look weird.

No Hermione again. That just doesn't seem right to me.

emeraldflames · 09-01-2008, 04:35 PM

I'm glad Matt also mentioned Dean.

He's the first person aside from Heyman to mention Dean specifically. Makes me wonder if he's present during some of the Dean/Ginny scenes.

There was also a clearer image of this Burrow attack image with Harry, Arthur and Remus.

I do think it's weird there's no Hermione, though. I'm glad they included Draco this time, but the no Hermione is just...weird.

Gean · 09-01-2008, 04:52 PM

Yes it's strange...but maybe we'll get more Hermione when they start their promotion for real.

Thanks for adding Matt's comment in the OP, Rose.

**baileycat** · 09-01-2008, 05:05 PM

Finally a report from DragonCon!! And what Matt said! *huggles him*

Ah man I just think its so awesome now to see real merchandise with our ship!

Thanks for starting the thread Rose!

No problem.

Now we have quotes from almost all members of the sextet. I also added Matt to the Honorary Leo list! I knew the boy was a big Sidekicker, so this just makes my day.

I said this on the other thread, but IceKat, you should send your Matt report into SnitchSeeker, Leaky or BWO. I'm sure they'd love to post it.

I know!! It makes me so giddy. An entire month devoted to H/G!

**baileycat** · 09-01-2008, 06:01 PM

Yes IceKat, we're dying to hear what else Matt had to say. Or at least I am.

What's also great about this french calendar is that on the cover it says it has 160 stickers included! I doubt they're all original but there's a good chance we'll get some new pics from the bunch too when they become available with the calendar.

I noticed that too. Here's hoping there's quite a few new pictures with those stickers and not just repeats. Some of the images on this calendar were older photos from the past films.

Did you guys see the one of Dumbledore and the horcruxes that had this huge image of the diary?

So cool.
