> There were some debates on this list as to Ginny's name. I think the three
most popular versions are Virginia, Regina and Guinevere. According to the
movie >credits for Harry Potter And the Chamber Of Secrets (the movie) the
character is listed as Virginia "Ginny" Weasely. Considering that Rowling is
supervising the >movie productions, can we assume that as canon evidence to
the fact that the full name is indeed Virginia?

Did you take that from the IMDB? If so, that's a user-maintained database,
in which anyone can send in information about the cast and crew of a movie.
In all likelyhood, someone just figured that the name Virginia was
canonical, and decided to submit it to IMDB.
