here is, if Jo hadn't explained Ginny's QUidditch ability at all, I 
wouldn't have thought about it. I would have thought that she just 
discovered her talent during flying lessons, like Harry did. But JKR 
did gave us an explanation, and it was one that I don't find 
convicing. I do think it's in character for the twins not to lend 
her their broomsticks, and I also can see that Ginny would "borrow" 
them secretly, but that she is flying around the Burrow, without 
anyone noticing, doesn't make sense at all. Surely somebody would 
see her.

I don't want to concentrate too much on this, there are other 
inconsistencies in the series that have nothing to do with Ginny at 
all. But it's just an example, of why I find Ginny's character 
development not as convincing, compared to the development of other 
characters. I do think JKR planned spunky Ginny from the beginning, 
but I also think she could have presented her better and smoother.


*******Marcela:  Perhaps you find Ginny's character not very 
convincing from a 'main character' POV. 
I truly believe that Jo has no intention of making her more 
important than she got to be in OoTP.  Her 'sneaking' traits that 
even fooled her Twin brothers is, IMO, foreshadowing that Ginny is 
going to be their 'substitute' in the future books.  With the Twins 
out of Hogwarts, someone had to replace them, Ron is the 'goofy' 
funny character, the Twins were never goofy, and Ginny's attitude: 
telling white lies with no blushing, being frontal in voicing her 
opinions, not worrying about the company she keeps (Looney), hexing 
Malfoy with no remorse, etc. tell me that her character is indeed 
going the "Twins path".  She is going to be Ron's nightmare with all 
her dating and a great source of 'funny' scenes.
