#jkr is not a feminist it is quite the opposite look at what it does in its female characters

[chelleblack]

My problem with Ginny Weasley as a Harry Potter couple.

I didn't want it to sound so rude, and I also know that the strange and somewhat sexist development of this character is not his fault, but of whoever writes it, obviously. But it is a subject that we have to touch to the people who read Harry Potter. We need to talk about Ginny, and her rowdy and troublesome development, and what JKR did to her, and what some fans still do.

You see, I don't have any hatred towards Ginny, but I have several problems with her. Three big problems with that character, which I repeat, is not his fault.

I want to talk about the material in the books, since in the movies it is much worse.

I'm ... let's start with the most uncomfortable. Why does Ginny exist, what is her purpose?

You know in the first book, you love the idea of ​​the fact that she is the only girl of six brothers, you think that obviously that girl will have an incredible impact on the plot, even in the chamber of secrets, they wanted. To understand that Ginny would be an important character for later, I say that she got directly involved with Voldemort, they made us that illusion that perhaps in the following books, she would have an important theme that relates her to that evil villain again, until she joins the trio golden when defeating him. Well, the last thing happened ... But people, it didn't happen like we thought it would happen, the background that could be worse and full of content, where Ginny had an interesting role ... natural. It turned out to be the opposite.

And Ginny's existence felt too forced. Because Ginny Weasley was only created to be the future companion of Harry Potter. It sounds horribly sexist, and we need to talk about this.

Sorry, I know Harry is the main character. But this is still not good.

Why is everything Ginny does for Harry? Folks, when Hermione fell in love with her teacher and forgot about him and got over him like all childhood crushes, it was okay. I think everyone would have liked the same thing to have happened with Ginny. BECAUSE IT IS VERY TERRORIFYING THE CRUSH THAT GINNY HAS HAD FOR HARRY THE WHOLE SAGA.

It does not fit in my head how this couple is so loved by everyone if it is so problematic. God, Ginny was nagging, analyzing, and watching Harry all of her adolescence until he finally saw her the way she wanted. You all point to Romilda for trying to charm Harry with love candy, you have called her unbearable, and crazy.

But they've been loving Ginny, who literally had boyfriends to get experience with Harry, who's been planning her whole life with him- And she wasn't going to give up. I don't understand how this can be romantic, it isn't. I don't know how JKR sold us this.

Look, Harry is the protagonist, we all expected a decent love story for him. (Although personally it would have been better, not seeing teenagers taking relationships so seriously, it's not healthy, they were still kids, they were traumatized, they have too many exams, they are in a war and they are dying witches all the time. Time, where jkr did it make sense to propose romance?

The thing here is that Ginny and Harry's romance has so many inconsistencies and it's so forced and bland, because it is, and that's so bad for a lead, which I understand as secondary and more troublesome romances like HermionexRon and TonksxRemus, even people becomes more excited about Severus and Lily's frustrated romance, even Narcissa and Lucius have more fans. The aforementioned couples are more loving and developed than Harry's with Ginny. And it is disrespectful.

Why did JKR do this?

It doesn't just bother me, how it turned Ginny into an obsessive girl who fetishizes the boy who has a sad life, and wants to get involved with him if so. But there is also the fact that Ginny, is perfect, and fulfills hormonally, socially and traumatically what Harry seeks. And that's not okay for Harry, much less Ginny.

It bothers me so much that Harry started "loving" Ginny because he started sexualizing her, I don't know how jkr found it nice to do this. Putting scenarios of Harry imagining being kissed by Ginny like he did with her boyfriend, but we barely saw a line from Harry, talking about how he liked her personality, that he wanted to ask her out. I mean, with Cho it felt a lot more natural, really if Harry fell in love with her. But Ginny from the beginning was so hormonal, that I understand how people think that Ginny used amortentia, although she didn't, we read the books but we still don't understand this. Because it doesn't make sense ...

From one book to another, Ginny is the prettiest girl at Hogwarts and everyone wants with her. Cho isn't anymore, because Harry doesn't care anymore. But out of nowhere Ginny is.

And she becomes the "pretty girl from Hogwarts" and Harry is just dating her. And Ginny is not only pretty, but she's the most popular at Hogwarts. This is incredible...

It's creepy how Ginny is physically the same as Lily, and Ginny's entire existence is noisy. Harry not only noticed the most popular girl, and beautiful, and double of his mother, and who is madly loving him- But Harry clung to the Weasleys with Ginny, because surprise! ... Ginny was the only woman of the Weasley that was left, and Harry longed to be part of that family which was perfect for him- And of course Ginny is the right thing to do?

She likes Quidditch, she is the most attractive, and popular, and she has it dangling from her hand. It is everything that Harry idealized in his dreams of glory and filling his voids. Or rather what JKR thought Harry might have.

Stop for a moment, is there not a Weasley character, with better development to be a couple of Harry and fill that void? And that character, isn't it Ron?

Yes, Ron Weasley makes more sense.

Ron lives up to a lot more expectations and has the cheesiest, sanest, gayest story with Harry, but since Jkr is homophobic, this is clearly a no.

¨So here is Ginny, it is Harry's fantasy, it is the comfort, even about to die, instead of thinking about more important things, in his family or life. He was already idealizing Ginny, because he loved her for life, because he depended on her, and they would both die for each other. And I absolutely hate this.

We absolutely hate the fact that Ginny's character is so planned that she feels so artificial around Harry. I absolutely hate that Cho's crush is more personal and natural in Harry's life. But I really HATE the fact that if Ron were a girl everyone would be pairing him up with Harry, because they have tangible material in the books. It's 2021 take this fact.

I don't hate Ginny, but I do loathe her empty existence for mediocre, calculating purposes, which makes Jkr a sexist person. I mean, I know that she and the fans have tried to raise the character of Ginny, contributing and thanking her for things that she did not do, to give her relevance and be in line with Harry. ¨

But Ginny is not representing Quidditch as female empowerment, she did not even represent her home. The representation of the sport was Angela, she is the first female captain who is spoken of and is followed by Cho. And it is very racist that everyone takes that apart from Cho and Angela, being that they are minorities. And secondly, Ginny did not make and form the Dumblurore army, she only gave the name, calm down, without Hermione that would not have existed. And Neville was primarily the one who stood up for the army at Hogwarts, and everyone generally did.

Sorry, I know it's a lot of text, but I had to get rid of the frustration this couple left me. I hope that if you read this, you will also analyze these points.

I would have liked very much to see a Ginny with an important role, other than being the fantasy and idealized girlfriend of the protagonist, if she weren't the girl in the movie. To see at least a pure romance between them- Although I still think that romance was unnecessary in the lives of those children, that Jkr hypersexualized them-

Harry needed therapy, vacations, some sleep - not a girlfriend who looked like his mother.
