Was she always this way and only her getting over Harry allowed her 
full personality to come out around them? Either way, it was handled 
badly. There are ways to lay out real clues that just didn't happen. 
Regardless of whether the transformation was supposed to be an actual 
change, or a change in perception, it needed to happen in a way that 
is less than a giant ton of bricks landing on our heads. While that 
might happen in real life, in books there needs to be foreshadowing--
and a lot of it when the change is as big a one as Ginny goes through.


Amie:
While I don't agree with you about Ginny being annoying, I do agree 
that her development wasn't handled extremely well. I do think 
though, that Ginny was being shown more because she was becoming 
closer friends with Hermione. Whenever she joins the trio she always 
stays with Ginny - at the burrow, at the World Cup, and then at the 
Order. In book 5, Hermione and Ginny spend the entire summer 
together. Since Harry wasn't there, we wouldn't see any of this. It 
does leave the reader out of her change though...which wasn't the 
greatest choice. It's possible that there are greater things in 
Ginny's future....or it's possible that she'll just go back into the 
background. We'll find out in 14 days, 16 hours, 1 minute (so says 
the countdown on my desktop) :)
