New member here, joining in. *waves* I agree completely. That
scene doesn't sit right with me for a couple of reasons. First, Hermione *completely* has a point- Harry should never have tried
out an obviously dark curse, even on Malfoy. The idea that Ginny
congratulates him for having a good trick up his sleeve and
disregards this makes her seem very cold- almost scary. Second, Hermione was anxious and maybe a little overbearing, but she was
never rude to Ginny. Then Ginny just comes back with something completely uncalled for and snotty.
I've never been a Ginny fan, but I tried hard to appreciate or
like her in this book, and it just wasn't happening (I'm sure
other people have said it better).
