5 Disturbing Things About Ginny Weasley
Chapter 2
1. We meet Ginny for half a moment in the first book, but it's only in Chamber Of Secrets that we really get to meet her as a character. It's in this book that we see Ginny go to Hogwarts for the first time and ending up nearly losing her life due to the intervention of the Dark Lord. She spent most of her first year possessed... and no one noticed!
Hogwarts is a relatively small school and Ginny a member of a closely-knit family. Her soul was getting sucked out of her for almost a year and no one paid enough attention to notice what was wrong.
2. Luna Lovegood is definitely one of my favorite characters in the franchise so knowing that there is a friendship between Ginny and Luna might seem like a moment of happiness to me and every other reader, due to how strong both characters are. However, it's through Ginny that Harry meets Luna as Looney Lovegood, showcasing how Ginny doesn't think highly of the other girl. Luna talks a lot about Ginny and how nice she is but the friendship seems to be quite one-sided. Luna thinks of Ginny as a best friend but we rarely even see them together. Ginny should really treat Luna better.
3. We all know how the franchise ends (up until Cursed Child), with Harry and his friends, including Ginny, now as adults, sending their children to Hogwarts. This is the scene where we find out about their children's names: Albus Severus, Lily, and James Sirius, in honor of some of the most important characters in the franchise and in Harry's life.
Of course, we can discuss how ridiculous it was to name one of his sons Albus Severus, but what really grinds my gears is how none of their children have any names that remind us of Ginny and her familys. Even after the war and ending up with Harry, she still continues to be portrayed as nothing more than a secondary character, even in her own life.
4. In the Half-Blood Prince book, we learn (repeatedly) that Ginny is the coolest girl in school. Her dating life becomes very juicy and she seems to be thriving at Hogwarts. Harry overhears a conversation with a group of Slytherins where the topic of conversation is how amazing and attractive Ginny is, making it obvious the sixth year at Hogwarts is definitely Ginny's year.
This comes completely out of nowhere with her popularity exploding out of thin air. It's the year Harry gains feelings for Ginny, which can explain how he sees her in a much better light, but it doesn't explain why up until now Ginny was almost invisible, and suddenly, she was everything at school.
5. During Order Of The Phoenix, it comes as a surprise to everyone that Ginny is an excellent flyer. She even joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team and becomes an all-star player. This came as a surprise to many, including her family, that had no idea she could fly so well on a broom. Hermione explains that Ginny has been sneaking into the Weasley’s broom shed for years and secretly training herself to fly.
This doesn't really seem plausible though, considering how close the family is, making it impossible for her to sneak away for years to fly on her own, especially considering the location of the Weasley's house. We're left to wonder exactly how she developed this specific skill in the first place...
