Luna:
Hi Rizza, I agree with every word in your message. I think that H/G
didn't come out of the blue, it was heavely foreshadowed as well as
Ginny's personality was foreshadowed in COS and in GOF. Honestly,
Ginny in OOP didn't come as a surprise to me as H/G in HBP didn't
either.
The point is that we would've liked to see more of the romance
evolving between them in HBP. I would've liked to see more
interaction scenes between those two... Jo could've sacrificed some
of those Ron/Lavender snogging scenes for a H/G nice conversation or,
well, just a snogging scene, whatever... something more! How come we
see Ron and Hermione's reaction to Harry kissing Ginny and we don't
see Ginny's reaction! She's the one that got kissed!
I general, I did like the book, I just feel that Jo failed to write
H/G properly in HBP...
