The Entire Timeline of Harry & Ginny's Relationship (Harry Potter Explained)

YouTube keeps turning comments off, idk why, but sorry about that. They should work now

Wish Harry and Ginny’s relationship was the same as it was in the books

Ginny's relationship with Fred & George is very underrated, I love this trio a lot.

Ginny going to the ball with Neville speaks volume to her character though. Even having a chance with Harry in that moment when Ron said that Harry should go with her, she didn't bail on Neville. That is an extremely loyal thing to do despite literally being lovestruck by Harry for the past 4 years.

2 things missed. What slughorns potion smelled like to harry. And the fact that bellatrix almost killing ginny actually made him stop going towards Voldemort and head to bellatrix instead (only to be stopped as molly got there first)

On top of that, Ginny's got the kind of parents you actually want to have as in-laws--that in and of itself is rare. If Harry's parents were alive they would welcome her with open arms the way Arthur and Molly did for Harry. That's also pretty rare among married couples.

When I was younger, I didn't appreciate The Half Blood Prince as much because I felt it turned too much towards romance, but now I think the character relationships are what make it good. I love how the characters are so flushed out that the usually agreeable Ginny and Hermione can have a spat over if Harry's actions are justified. It really makes them all feel like really people. A lesser writer just has Ginny crush on Harry every day until they date. But Rowling puts them both through arcs and they GROW into a relationship. Great writing.

“Hes not wrong, hes just four and a half years early”

Also, regardless of the awkwardness of their romance in the movies…I will forever defend Bonnie Wright. I believe if she was given the opportunity to actually play Ginny from the books!

Morgan really puts his mind and soul while talking about Harry Potter I really appreciate it

Funny thing is that Ginny was the first girl naturally raised in the wizarding world that Harry (being muggle-raised) met at Platform 9 3/4. Also, Hermione was the first muggle-raised girl Ron, a wizarding world-raised boy, met at Platform 9 3/4. Later, this foreshadowing is full-circled when we see both the couples sending their children off in the Epilogue.

The main reason why Harry and Ginny were ruined in the film were because of Steve Kloves (the screenwriter for all but the fifth film). He self-admitted in front of JKR that he was a Harry/Hermione shipper and for this reason he butchered down Ron and Ginny hard. This is why I genuinely dislike the films.

Harry and Ginny had a great relationship in the books, I’ll forever be upset that the movies ruined their relationship

To be honest I watched the movies before the books. The movies had me rooting for Harry and Cho Chang. The books made me fall in love with Harry and Ginny.

I liked watching Ginny’s crush on Harry grow from schoolgirl obsession to genuine love.

Her love turned from a heroic crush to a true love when Harry rescued her and stayed close to her after the others turned away from her because of what happened that year. Their relationship is amazing in books, ginny is the right woman for Harry, she has grown up with six brothers, so she was fierce and strong-willed. And the fact that she had a big family treated Harry like a son the one who his desire was to have a family the movies ruined her character

Although she was sad at the time, thinking that she'd missed her chance with Harry, when not only did she realise that she'd already said yes to Neville, but that Harry clearly hadn't noticed her at that point, I think that it was better long term for their relationship. If they had gone to the Ball together, I feel that Ginny would have had a pretty miserable time. Not only would her nervousness and self-consciousness reach new heights, affecting her enjoyment, but also considering that Harry was infatuated with Cho at the time, then he wouldn't have given Ginny the attention she would have liked.

Love how JK describes Harry’s feelings for Ginny like being some monster in his chest.

People say Umbridge, Voldemort and Bellatrix are the best HP villains. But for me, it'll always be Steve Kloves, John Tiffany and Jack Thorne.

She fell first but he fell harder
