Ginny - Love, Hate or On-The-Fence?

[Majimaune]

That it does. I thought it was more controversial with the wizard being in there.

I'm sort of on the fence with Ginny. One the one hand, she was a strong female character with a friendly personality, but on the other...well, she wasn't that striking. When I said she was strong, I meant she doesn't whimper and run away from danger like a frightened kitten (*cough*Hermione*cough*), but as an actual character, she just didn't stick out that much. Rowling could have done much more with her.

Too much of a Mary-Sue, and the "Oh, we must deny our love because I am running off to be a dashing hero" act - difficult to read, difficult to accept.
Then again, she's better than Cho or Hermione.

Definitely better than Cho or Hermione. I have to say though, I would've liked to learn much more about her. Her character isn't nearly as well defined as a lot of major characters and, I mean, she ends up with Harry! I don't think we hear enough about or from her in the books and that's why she comes off as the typical Mary-Sue. I think JKR knows and develops all her characters very well, and that a lot of the time the ones we hate for being typical are only hated because we don't know enough about them. There just wasn't the time or place for it. Because we have to follow Harry, we can't hear or see anything he doesn't.
