It won't feel like a natural progression for me. There is something 
wrong with the romantic subplot of a story if the hero has more 
scenes alone with a competely different girl than the one he 
supposedly likes or the only date he goes on in the story is with 
different girl than the one he cares for. It was a giant copout and 
poor storytelling to not show the post kiss walk or any other 
bonding scenes after they begin dating.  Harry is clearly opening up 
more with Ginny than he ever did with Cho. Why? What has made him 
change the way he acts around girls? What do they talk about? Why 
should I care even slightest about the break up when we almost never 
saw them together? 

We saw the trainwreck that was Harry/Cho in technicolor. Why 
shouldn't we get at least the same with the girl that is supposedly 
perfect for him? I hate the character of Ginny, the way she is 
written, the very idea of H/G, and pretty much every scene that has 
her in it and I am arguing that we didn't get enough Harry/Ginny in 
the story! that should tell you how badly I think this romance was 
written. would ten extra pages have killed an extra tree or 
something? why couldn't it have been a little longer to flesh out 
this couple. I did after all pay to get the authors interpretation 
of Harry's adventures and loves and not a skeleton to hang my own 
vision on. I want hers damn it!

I leave with this thought: The title of the current anti-H/G thread 
at fictionalley is called 'Even George Lucas is laughing at you'.

Pretty much says it all.
