> I am not against the Harry/Ginny pairing, I just don't think Rowling wrote it very well - I don't think she wrote any of her romantic relationships very well.
 
Joann:
I agree. She is brilliant in every other aspect of the books, but fails miserably with the romance.

> va32h:
> Somewhere around book 5, Ginny just became Perfect Girl - beautiful, smart, athletic, sassy, etc.  As with most "perfect" characters, she's pretty two dimensional. 
 
Joann:
She also had a little bit of a nasty streak in her too(in the book). I'm glad they left that out of the movie.

> va32h: 
> Probably pretty typical for a teenage romance, but if I'm supposed to believe that Harry and Ginny are a Love for the Ages, I need a little more than that. 
 
Joann:
I'm sure H/G is a thing of beauty in Rowlings head, she just for got to write it out for us! 


> va32h:  
> Oh I agree.  I could not understand why DH began with Ron/Herimone *still* not together when HBP seemed to have settled the matter between them. 

Joann:
I think in the book she didn't want to have to deal with them as a couple being alone together in tents and such. They *are* childrens books after all.

I 'm not a huge R/H fa., In the movies, I don't see much chemistry between RG and EW. It's too bad actually. But we all know you can't create chemistry. It's there or it isn't.
