My guess would be the 16-yr-old is talking about the girl who plays 
Hermione in the movies, who IS incredibly lovely.  Wouldn't we all 
have loved to have been a nerd like her?  The girl who plays Ginny 
in comparison is pretty enough, but she's young and hasn't grown 
into her full loveliness yet--so of course to a 16 year old boy, 
he's not going to pick her.

If you go by how everyone is described in the BOOKS, I'd say you can 
see it a little better.  I think in the books Ginny is probably a 
little prettier than she is played in the movies, and also she is 
like utter stuntgirl.  She can play Quidditch, fly like a dream, and 
loves a good joke--but she can be a *girl* too.  Wouldn't that be 
most guys' dreamgirl?  The girl who is a girl, but is actually 
interested in things that don't involve shopping, hairstyles, or 
shoes?
