Ginny - Not

> Jen: I agree.  I suppose that scene was meant to substitute for Ginny picking a maggot out of Harry's hair, lol.  Domestic!Ginny, tying Harry's shoes & feeding him pies.

Kemper now:
That scene bothered me because of the implied eroticism of it.  Okay, 'eroticism' may be too strong a word.  There's some flirtation/sensuality with Ginny feeding Harry, and that's cool.  But the scene with the shoestring is awkward/icky/weird to watch.  The image of a girl, vulnerable in a bathrobe, going down to(on) Harry's string, looking up at Harry when she's done... it's just odd.  

Tying a someones shoe, in her case, seems a maternal thing to do as well and this only adds to the ick.  It's like the director wants Harry to have the Madonna and the whore, when all Harry wants is Ginny.

Not sure if that makes any sense.  I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the time.  It's late and I'm making some bolognese for a camping trip; I have no grill skills, but I can turn on a Coleman stove.
