If she's wearing love perfume that
helps her to be so popular with the boys then why is Harry so
completely oblivious to her "charms" in this scene. It's like he can't
wait to get away from her to go spy on Draco. If you ask me, maybe
it's Draco wearing the LP! :grin:

Now me:
One of the reasons I have a problem with the whole Harry/ Ginny 
subplot is this inconsistency. One moment not there, the next 
big `monster' crawling out of the chest, and the next `poof': gone 
again. But, I agree with you Maxine
 I think what you see is what you 
get.

Well never say never, right? Especially with JKR. :)
In the absence of the interviews, I personally would be more open to
the possibility of a romantic twist in Book 7. However, I can't see
how her statements on the matter of H/G can be denied, unless we're
going to completely misconstrue what she said.

Now me:
I agree. Without the interview, any number of theories might be 
entertained in order to explain away glaring inconsistencies in 
characterisation and quite large and obnoxious plot holes. But alas, 
I think it's not a matter of JKR being more brilliant than we gave 
her credit for but less brilliant (in my opinion of course). I think 
she's explained how she sees things in the interview and, regardless 
of whether we think it was well done or very badly done, we merely 
have to accept it. I really do think she just isn't very good at 
writing romance. I think, from what I see in the interview, she 
thinks it should all be very self-evident.

(JMO
 please don't shoot me. I don't have the energy to duck ;))
