Susan:
WOO HOO!!  I agree with you, Pippin.  Bring on Miss Ginny!! 

>From the chat:

Field: Do you plan for GInny to take on a major character role in the 
next two books? 
JK Rowling replies -> Well, now that Ginny has stopped being mute in 
Harry's presence I think you can see that she is a fairly forceful 
personality (and she always has been, remember Ron saying that 
she 'never shuts up' in Chamber of Secrets)? 

See?  She's a tough cookie with a mind of her own, nice Quidditch 
skills, and a built-in "bond" with that possession experience.  :-)
