Ginny Weasley, I want to know more.


J.K. Rowling is a master at developing characters, forming them and giving us just enough to want more and then slowly reveals them to us, the readers. Ginny Weasly is a prime example of this idea in the story; although she has remained as much a mystery to us as Luna Lovegood has we have a deep desire to know her better. Harry realizes he has strong feelings associated with her; is it because she is Ron’s sister or is it because I want her to be attracted to me Harry finds himself asking. Ginny’s personality is as firey as her long locks, something we see that is constant within the whole Weasley family. Ginny is although distant from Harry, a tactic she is using to bring him closer she still remains involved and empathetic to Harry. She remains on constant force for Harry both in physical situations, like accompanying them to the Ministry to save Sirius and in his mind helping him to escape reality however briefly he can. Although Harry has experienced many changes over the years none of them prepared him for the changes he saw in Ginny. How could she be the same girl, the once quiet and shy now turned quick tempered, highly caring, talented and outgoing teen. Ginny not only plays quite good Quidditch, makes everyone laugh, jumps to aid of others  but she also offers insights and set Harry’s emotional creature inside a roaring.   Ginny is very weary when she finds he  listens to a book, much like her experience in book two but sets him at ease soon enough. We begin the story knowing Ginny only a tiny bit and not thinking much about her absence; we now see Ginny as a constant character yet we still want to know more about her. How is she so brave, why is she so kind, what do she do when we don’t see her and does she still like Harry or has she forgotten her crush because she is so popular with the boys.
