So thanks for that and it's very well written even though I don't fully agree to it, but as you said earlier it's open to be looked at different by everyone and that's the beauty of it. But it did make me view Ginny in a different light which I quite like.
Thanks for that. I do appreciate it very much. Alot of people I do know dislike Hermione and they say aren't vocal about it because they get clobbered about it from her fans which I thought was BS but I now see it's true. Yet, it's nice to see that there are some people out there that can respect other people's opinions. You'd be amazed at how many people do dislike her .. they just don't constantly moan about it. There are alot of people who are vocal about their dislike about Ginny but there are also many who like her ... she is one of the most popular characters there.

U r going over😕. Hermione is not as bad as u r making her😳. she can be a bit studious and all, but when the hell did she critisize ginny??? It was ginny who critisized hermy about not knowing anything in quidditch.The only one thing hermione lacked. U talk abt hermione using other boys to make ron jealous??? Well it's ron's fault to go around wid lavender just bcoz he was jealous of Krum. And wht abt Ginny? She admitted in HBP tht she went out wd sooooo many boys just to get the attention of Harry. And not trusting harry for a second wid cho. I find Ginny's character absolutely disgusting.Hermione might be a know it all. But that's what helped the trio all the time and she stuck wid harry all the time. whereas ron was jealous of harry.
Oh for the freaking love of god. I am not going overboard. I was merely sharing my thoughts on a character which is what one does on a forum like this. To me she is as bad as I said she is. I could say you are going overboard on your hatred of Ginny but I am not. You are allowed your opinions. Face it people, she's got her virtues but most of us Ginny fans don't force that onto people like you are doing to me. I find Hermione one of the most disgusting characters I have ever read. And the author glosses over many of her real flaws and the MANY things she lacks in ... Okay ? Geez man, the lack of being able to voice a thought on this board is disgusting.
FYI, moving on is DIFFERENT from using a guy to make another guy jealous. Ginny does the former, Hermione does the latter. Not the same thing. Like not seeing your guy for a year and being worried about him and then seeing him go with his ex gf away before even talking to you is something any 15 yr old girl or any woman would like. Like Hermione would let Ron wander off with Lavender. Oh wait right, she's a saint, course she would let him go.
And she criticized Ginny and Ron when she said they couldn't win a match without Harry. Even though they've done it before ... nice, telling your friends that they can't win. To me, it's an insult. Alright ??! Add it to her being a downright nasty when talking to Harry abotu the most petty thing ever aka grades and then using it to guilt Harry when she really doesn't know the game just made me laothe her even more. Being able to rattle facts about it doesn't make you understand anything ...

Well, if Harry wud have also roamed around with so many girls i wud have also blamed Harry, I am also not a sexist, either. Harry only loved Ginny, but Ginny dated with a lot of boys. But other than her all characters had only one lover. IMO i dont like i concept of having or dating with so many people, but once again thats only my opinion.
I also, havent said that i only hate her for roaming with many boys. I had given my reasons why i hate her. Plus, it isnt important for a character to be negative in order to be hated. Even if we think her to be postiive, i will still hate her. Feelings comes naturally which cannot be stopped. I dont find anything appealing in her character. And also, she critisized and made fun of Hermy in book six, which i absoulutely loathed.and she didnt even tust Harry, and was extremely jealous of ChoShe didnt even think wether Harry will be alive or not, all she cared about is that Cho doesnt go with HarryAnd she didn't even come with Harry when Harry needed her the most...she was having fun in Hogwarts...
Lastly, my point is that i don'thate Ginny thinking that she roamed with so many boys etc etc...my point is i am also not a sexist. (Just clarifying if u thot otherwise)😊
I too think it's sexist to hate someone cause they dated a boy and not hate the boy for it. Actually let's break it down :
Harry - Went on a date with Cho, Parvati and Luna. And then Ginny. So that makes 4 girls.
Ron - Went on a date with Padma. Dated Lavendar. Then Hermione. So 3 girls.
Hermione - Went on a date with Krum and Cormac. Then Ron. So that's 3 boys
Ginny - Went on a date with Neville. Dated Micheal and Dean. Then Harry. So that's 4 boys.
I fail to see how Ginny is the only one who had too many. You are wrong that Harry didn't have as many .. I've broken it down for you ... it's the same. The fact that she had serious boyfriends shows that she actually gave a damn about them and was trying to move on with her life when Harry didn't care.
LMAO. Yes she was having fun trying to defend others at Hogwarts and fighting the Carrows and running the DA and getting crucioed. Sounds like a real picnic doesn't it ? As for her not caring about Harry being alive or not, perhaps you missed her reaction when she thought Harry had died ... the most vocal one of them all.
And hey, who cares that she's underage and has a trace so they can find her ? Honestly. That's why she couldn't go .. not because she didn't want to. Because it would screw them all over.

LOL...I dislike her not because she's been roaming with boys, but because she criticised Ron and hermione...no one can criticise them ok except they can criticise each other😆*terribly biased opinion*😳😆But i like Ginny for some things like she doesnt ever make fun of Luna or Neville...she was the first to befriend and be nice to them😛😳
Alot of people are biased towards her like that but you are the first one I've seen admit it. It's a vry refreshing change 😊👏

Do u know what does the term "bashing" means?? 😕
Bashing means to critisize someone extremely harshly, and thus by the usage of extremely filthy words. Here, in I-F, bashing means anyone who uses words which arent allowed in I-F. As far as ican see, me or anyone over here, has not bashed Ginny. We are critisizing her, not bashing. There is a huge difference b/w critisicm and bashing. Critisicm is very well allowed here, so it cannot be stopped just because u r saying it to. Bashing isnt allowed, and no one bashed her - everyone critisized her. I request u, check the meaning of bashing plz.😊
I have said Ginny to be "evil minded" "Bad" "evil" and lots of things...but they all fall in the catagory of "critisicm". And not and never bashing. Hope it is understandable. Bashing is if i call Ginny to be some extremely degratory names, which arent allowed in I-F. but critisizing someone and saying her to be evil minded is allowed. and is not bashing.😊
As for "luna n hermy r also nt perfect they also hv flows in their characters no body is perfect alright " - yeah u r right. Luna and Hermy werent right too. If this is the case, then y arent u critisizing them aas well?? As i said critisicm is very well allowed in this forum. If u want, u can critisize Hermy and Luna for their mistakes as well if u want. No one is gonna stop u.
After all, this is the purpose of a discussion forum. We are here to discuss...and in a discussion its not always possible to agree...disagreement will occure, and so critisicm will occure too.
Lastly, let me make this clear again: Critisicm is Allowed, Bashing isn't.
Funny, when I said I didn't like Hermione I was bashing her and now when you are calling Ginny evil, which is bashing and criticizing, it's not bashing. Sigh. Personally, IMO, calling someone evil without any basis for it is bashing and not criticism; that's saying ... she has a bad temper.
