What I do disagree with is that Harry and Ginny are not equals. 
Ginny is the ONLY one who understand what does it mean to have 
Voldemort in her head, so she clearly knows what Harry is going 
through
 
GEO: 

Except their experiences are so clearly different. In Ginny's 
possession, she blacked out and was unknowingly under Riddle's 
thrawl for some time. In Harry's case, he felt it and knew when 
Voldemort was arising within him. Two totally different cases.

Alla:

Oy, what have I gotten myself into? :o) I am really really not that 
passionate about SHIPS, except couple of slash ships, both of which 
include Sirius.

But I love Ginny and do feel that she will be a good match for 
Harry. As I said earlier I don't feel that she is the only possible 
match for Harry ( or Harry for her). I can quite easily see Harry 
with any of "just a name" characters, I just don't see Harry with 
Hermione, not because I don't think they are a good match, but 
because I think that books lead to Ron/Hermione. If Ron dies at the 
end, then I can see Harry/Hermione too, otherwise, I just don't see 
it. Moreover, I don't think I have much passion to argue for 
Ron/Hermione or against them. I just think that text goes that road. 
You can call it my intuitive speculation, if you'd like. :o)


So, back to Harry and Ginny. OF COURSE their cases are different. 
Harry is the hero of the book. Ginny is still secondary character. I 
was only arguing that they share something that NOBODY (including 
Hermione) shares with Harry. Voldemort messed up with both of their 
heads. Of course Harry is different. He is after all destined to 
kill Voldie ( if prophecy is correct), not Ginny. I just think that 
Ginny was strong enough, but of course she was overpowered at the 
end.

As Dumbledore said "Older and wiser wizards than she had been 
hoodwinked by Lord Voldemort" - CoS, p.330, paperback.


Alla earlier: 
And she was not just taken by Riddle. She thought against him 
bravely. 

 
GEO: 

And in the end she lost against a mere shadow of a young 
Voldemort when in comparison Harry fought against Voldemort in his 
most powerful and inhuman incarnation and expelled him from his 
mind, which in my opinion creates an inequality between the two: 
Harry is stronger in will and power in comparison to Ginny.


Alla: 

Umm, yes, she did lost. I am just saying that she put up a good 
fight, that is all. She is not Harry, no question about it. :) It is 
just no other female character shares that kind of experience with 
him.


GEO: 

Is Harry Potter a fairy tale? It has fairy tale elements, but 
it certainly is not a fairy tale and probably won't end like one. 
 
In fact I'm willing to wager a few quatloos that there will be no 
Ginny and Harry at the end of book 7 and it will be Harry and 
Hermione at the end.


Alla:

It is not a fairy tale, but earlier books had a lot of fairy tale 
elements, IMO.

And bet accepted - NO Harry /Hermione, if Ron is alive, if Ron is 
dead, the bet is off. :o)

What I wish  would happen and what I think will happen.  I'd like to 
see H/Hr, R/L and  N/G, but that's not what I expect to happen.  I 
believe in the chess theory  which means that Ron will die in the 
final battle so that Hermione and Harry can  go on to defeat 
Voldemort.  I feel that the final defeat of Voldemort will  actually 
be cased by Hermione.  It just seems right that the mudblood  should 
have a big part in bringing him down.  The question is whether  she 
will die doing so.  The only couple I'm predicting is N/G.   Neville 
will also become a Hogwarts 
Professor. 


Alla:

If we are to go with Chess game foreshadowing then Ron will appear 
to die, but not really dead at the end, IMO.

I can see Neville and Ginny and Harry/Luna also, but I feel the most 
confident with Ron/Hermione,which of course can be wrong. :)

JMO,

Alla.
