Hidey-ho...first post....

You know, honestly, I really didn't care much for Ginny (or Hermione)
in HBP, but I am starting to think that her new characterization is
JKR's response to all of the complaints she got about not having a
strong female character.

I do not say this to imply that I feel Ginny is meant to become that
singular archetype that readers are looking for, but it makes sense
that it would be easier to give those qualities to someone less
developed like Ginny versus someone as "well planned" as Hermione.

Possibly off topic.....

There it is.
