blue eyes... tsk!  In canon (early CoS, I think) they are clearly 
mentioned to be brown (do I get LOON membership here??).  But as we 
haven't yet seen Ginny on-screen, I suppose the benefit of the doubt 
is in order here... brown contacts may have been applied.

(when vain, I prefer to go blind, otherwise I take my glasses on and 
off to suit), but from all accounts, the first week or so wearing 
them is agony, take an hour to get them in for one hour, count the 
minutes, take them out, spend the rest of the day in bloodshot 
agony... quite a lot to inflict on an eleven-year old child actor!  

Contacts are not that bad!  I speak from experience.  I got contacts 
when I was about 14 to wear on stage when performing rather than 
glasses.  Be a rather curvaceous girl all my life, glasses tended to 
make my face heavier, which was not a good thing when singing in 
front of a crowd.  So I got contacts.  After the first day or two 
with soft, water-based contacts, this little redhead was fine.

I'm sure little Ginny will be fine making her blue eyes brown (*hears 
a reversed song cue and ignores it*).  Children are remarkably hardy 
little critters....
