In the 2018 dystopian science fiction film The Darkest Minds, two of the main characters compare their relation to Ginny and Harry's, in a scene Noah Berlatsky describes as "a moment of meta-critique that’s just as likely to make the audience wince as smile.". [36] The film itself was widely panned by critics, Berlatsky himself calling it "flat [and] boring". Charms: Ginny was highly proficient in this branch of magic. In her first year, she animated 'a well card to sing shrilly when opened'. [8] She once used a single Scouring Charm in 1995 to clean all the Stinksap out of a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. [14] She also had highly swift reflexes with the Disarming Charm. [8] Most impressively, at the age fourteen, she was able to cast the extremely advanced and powerful Patronus Charm, which took the corporeal form of a horse.

Ginny tried to tell Harry and Ron what was going on, but could not get the words out, and she was interrupted by Percy. The memory of Tom Riddle was furious, as he had been planning on taking on Harry Potter himself after learning his story. Realising that Harry would come to save Ginny, he made her write a farewell on a corridor wall, then enter the Chamber of Secrets to die. She had poured so much of her life into the diary that she could not fight Tom's control of her, and the last thing she remembered as she lay down on the floor of the Chamber was Tom coming out of the diary. The memory of Tom Riddle had fed off her, gaining enough strength to become corporeal and regain the appearance of his 16 year old self. As Tom grew stronger, the life in Ginny faded away until she slipped into an unconscious state. [8] In the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Ginny must help Harry reconcile with their wayward son Albus Severus Potter, and there are references to events in previous books. Her job at The Daily Prophet is briefly mentioned when Draco accuses her of promoting suspicion against former Death Eaters, but she says her articles are purely sport-related. [17] Characterization [ edit ] Outward appearance [ edit ] Ginny's been nice though, she stopped two boys from calling me 'Loony ' the other day..." — Luna's positive opinion of Ginny [src] Come on, Ginny's not bad. Actually, I dunno how she got so good, seeing how we never let her play with us." — Ginny's impressive Quidditch and flying skills [src] Ginny's pivotal role in Chamber of Secrets was compared by Dave Kopel, citing John Granger's book, to a morality play like John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. He describes the final scene, where Harry descends to the Chamber of Secrets to rescue Ginny: "In the climax of Chamber of Secrets, Harry descends to a deep underworld, is confronted by two satanic minions (Voldemort and a giant serpent), is saved from certain death by his faith in Dumbledore (the bearded God the Father/Ancient of Days), rescues the virgin (Virginia [ sic] Weasley), and ascends in triumph. It's Pilgrim's Progress for a new audience." [32] This quote predates Rowling's revelation that Ginny's full name is Ginevra, not Virginia. [2] In popular culture [ edit ]Upon speaking with Dumbledore about the diary's remains, Ginny and her family came to learn that Tom Riddle is the original name of Lord Voldemort, much to Ginny's horror. According to herself in later years, Ginny would never forget these experiences and comforted Harry when he thought he was suffering a similar experience. Neville Longbottom: " I'm nobody." Ginny: " No, you're not." — Ginny defending Neville against himself [src] Molly Weasley: " ...Bill and Fleur... well... What have they really got in common? He's a hard-working down-to-earth sort of person, whereas she's —" Ginny: " A cow." — Ginny's obvious dislike of Fleur's personality [src] Ginevra [9] Molly [22] "Ginny" Potter [23] (née Weasley) (b. 11 August 1981), [1] occasionally known as Gin by Harry Potter, [4] was an English pure-blood [3] witch, the only daughter of Arthur and Molly Weasley (née Prewett), and the younger sister of Bill, Charlie, Percy, the late Fred, George and Ron. She was the first female to be born into the Weasley line for several generations. She and her older brothers grew up in The Burrow on the outskirts of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon.

Ginny's married name is Potter, a very common surname of English origin. [39] It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author. Potter's Field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; the Potter family had many members that fit that description. The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University. J. K. Rowling has also commented that she has liked the name since childhood, as a family that had lived near her carried this surname. [40] [41] Behind the scenes

Ginny and her family stayed at the Leaky Cauldron the night before setting off to start her second year at Hogwarts, and she met Harry again. She was even more embarrassed in front of him than usual, muttering a hello but not looking at him. The next day, on Platform 9¾, she did meet his eyes as they shared a laugh over Percy's behaviour when trying to impress his girlfriend, Penelope. [15]
