Why exactly do people hate Ginny so much?

I dislike Ginny because her name is Ginny, that name's stupid. Because I think she's a nuisance, and an unnecessary character. Because she's a Weasley, which doesn't necessarily mean I hate every Weasley ...well sometimes Ron. But that's for an entirely different reason. I hate her because -to me- her character is underdeveloped. However I don't believe she is in anyway a slut. It is perfectly alright to have three boyfriends. Ginny is not promiscuous, and does not sleep around.
I swear, her character came out of nowhere, and was just thrown into the mix for the soul purpose of being Harry Potter's প্রণয় interest. I mean, in the chamber of secrets she was all shy and crap. Then they ditched her for a while and introduced Cho, and then brought her right back again. All ব্রেভ and un-shy. What the heck was that about? As well as the fact that nobody seems to call her out on her faults. She is portrayed as the perfect girl for Harry. Perfect at everything..bleh. My extreme dislike of her also stems from the fact that Harry chose her. I প্রণয় Harry. He went on so many great adventures, fought battles, made বন্ধু etc, etc. Where was Ginny throughout all this? Umm she wasn't there. It would have made আরো sense had he ended up with Hermione.

She's dull and very boring unlike the other Weasley's. She doesn't do much until Half Blood Prince and even after that, she barely does anything yet she's still a main character. Apparently she's part of the "silver trio". Neville and Luna have done WAY আরো than Ginny. I think Draco should be in there instead. I mean, he did save Harry in the end, anyway.

I dont think Ginny is a slut অথবা a Mary-Sue whatever..
She is a great character and has a great personality..
How would আপনি feel if your বন্ধু are away from আপনি and can die any second,any time? How would আপনি feel if the person আপনি প্রণয় was going to leave you? and if আপনি aren't even sure if আপনি are going to meet him ever again?
To face all that আপনি require courage..and Ginny had all that! She didn't cry even once!
She is great though i just think sometimes she is a bit rude..

I agree. Maybe Ginny seemed a little too perfect, cos really - her character wasn´t brought to such depth. And I think if Ginny was real, I would like her. দ্বারা the way, I never though there was something wrong with her character when I read the books, just opinions of the অনুরাগী I read later made me feel her character wast that good. And one important thing - I think people can´t separate their opinions of the character and the actress - cos I feel like many people don´t like Ginny just because they don´t like Bonnie Wright. :p

I don't hate Ginny. I just find her a sort of dull character sometimes.

However... although I agree with আপনি about Ginny not being a slut, there are many reasons why people consider her a Mary-Sue, most of which আপনি already listed. I see where you're coming from when আপনি say it would be different if the বই were in her point of view, but the fact that she *could* have flaws isn't enough because we as the readers don't even see them. Flaws don't count if they're not acknowledged দ্বারা the author. If Ginny was আরো of a side character this would be a different conversation, but since she is pretty much a main character now (at least in my opinion she is) her flaws are supposed to be noticeable. Since they are not, we as readers have every right to assume she doesn't have any, even if that may not be true.

And I'm not sure why আপনি used Hermione as an "example" of a Mary-Sue, because her being a know-it-all is one of the reasons why she is not one.

For me, part of it is the Mary Sue factor. Another part is that, to me, it basically felt like she was included as a way to make Harry officially part of the Weasley family. Hermione marries Ron, Harry marries Ginny, and thus the trio are bonded for life. (Also, the fact that she idolized him when she was younger is just sort of... awkward for me.) The number of boyfriends she had has no bearing on my dislike for her.

People are probably gonna hate me for this but;

- Mary Sue
- Weasley
- Annoying
- Partly responsible for Bellatrix's death

I don't hate her per say but I don't exactly like her. She seems quite full of herself to be honest and a very manly woman, like when she play quidditch with Harry she does sort of over ভালুক him. But I ship drarry so... yeah. I do think she is a very demanding girl. Which is also why I don't think she would work out with Harry, I doubt he'd want the dangerous life after the war, he hated having his life in constant risk so I don't see why he would settle down with ginny and be an auror. He needs some sort of conflict in his life which I believe would come from being in a relationship with Draco and plus I think he would still want to help people which is why he would become a healer অথবা run an apothecary in diagon alley অথবা Hogsmead with Draco after the war. Back to ginny though, I don't think Harry would want the damsel in distress which is sort of what she would be, she is very co-dependent, while Harry would want someone who could stand on their own.

I don't think Ginny is a slut অথবা anything like that অথবা a Mary-sue, I just don't think she's a very nice person. She didn't handle her relationship with Dean well did she? I mean going off to his বন্ধু and crying about him, while flirting with Harry? No that isn't very nice for Dean. And what about Neville? I personally think they fit each other better than anyone else. I don't know. I even think Ginny would have suited Hermione personality wise. Herm' doesn't like very daring people who put themselves in danger for no reason অথবা immature people and neither does Ginny, I think they suit very well as well.

I wouldn't say I hate her, it's just that I she never had an impact on me like the other characters did. I barely noticed her for most of the series and then her character suddenly changed and Harry suddenly had feelings for her... It was just rushed and kind of forced. There was no real development towards a relationship. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't hate Ginny, but I do hate the fact that she and Harry got together. I wish the epilogue never existed... :/

Oh yes, I am a Harry Potter fanatic. I suffer from an obsession so powerful that, upon finishing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I promptly flipped to the first page and read the entire book again. I am now on my third reading. Is this obsession ever awkward to discuss in the presence of non-obsessed, mentally sound individuals? Not really, unless the topic of Ginny Weasley comes up.

আপনি see, my loathing of Ginny Weasley is so profound that it often causes me to foam at the mouth. Like, actually foam. Think Frodo Baggins in Return of the King after he got pwned দ্বারা Shelob. Such powerful abhorrence requires some explanation, so please allow me to তালিকা the many reasons I have for detesting Ginny Weasley.

Reason Number One: I hate fangirls. When she's introduced in Book One, she's nothing আরো than a swooning Harry Potter fangirl. She continues to fangirl all over Harry through Book Two, in which she also happens to almost succeed in resurrecting Voldemort's evil overlord ass. For the পরবর্তি two books, she basically drops off the face of the Earth. When she reemerges in a blaze of Quidditch-playing glory in Book Five, she's suddenly hot shit and ballsy to boot. No আরো Harry Potter idolization for her! She's now too busy putting the "ho" in "Hogwarts", which brings me to...

Reason Number Two: She's a slut.

Reason Number Three: She's a moron. Not only did she make বন্ধু with an interactive diary (that told her to strangle roosters and set a giant snake on her school chums), she very kindly told Harry that he had nothing to worry about, since Voldemort wasn't possessing him in Book Five. Wrong-o, Ginny. Harry WAS getting possessed and SHOULD have been shutting his mind to Voldemort; if he had taken his own concerns seriously in the first place, my darling Sirius would be alive. Stupid red-haired harlot!

Reason Number Four: We're consistently bashed over the head with how amazingly incredible she supposedly is. Other characters inform us that she's smart, hot, athletic, funny, wonderful, tough, not weepy, able to cure cancer, etc. However, the only thing that I'm able to infer from her negligible amount of "on-screen" interactions with Harry is that she's a good kisser. And she eventually gets knocked up at least three times, which, প্রদত্ত her reproductively-inclined Weasley genes, isn't really that much of an accomplishment.

What the heck is a Mary-sue?
The people who don't like Ginny either have a secret crush on Harry অথবা think they have a better idea of who he should end up with. Unlike many Harry Potter প্রেমী on this site, I have absolutely zero interest in any teenager's প্রণয় life and would be just as happy if the বই were written without any romantic elements and therefore, I have no problem with Ginny and actually think she has great personality. Also, i am not a অনুরাগী of the চলচ্চিত্র so I just "know" her from what I'm reading... I guess some people might not like the actress who plays her.
People have a problem with her being "perfect" but I don't think JK Rowling wrote enough about her to actually know her well. She was very much a secondary character - I mean look how little screen time she got in the movies.
As for ppl thinking she's a slut for having three boyfriends.. That's rediculous. She didn't change guys every month, she didn't go sleeping around, didn't cheat on the guys she was going out with... Even if she had been trying to get Harry's attention with them, she was not "using" those boys. He genuinely liked them and had a good time. It's just like if a kid wants to be বন্ধু with someone but can't manage it -- does it mean the kid is using the friend he has now?

That's just what I think:-)

i completely agree with dawn54321. all u h8ers who think Ginny's a slut wish they could চুম্বন daniel radcliff

I don't hate Ginny but she's not my favorite. I agree with that it seemed like she and Harry got no screen time অথবা in the বই just dialogue together. She's definitely the better অথবা Harry's tow girlfriends ( uggh Cho) but isn't really well developed. It would have made sense with Harry getting with Hermione but i প্রণয় her and Ron so no to that XD i was fine with Ginny marrying Harry though. I don't think she's a Mary sue and definitely not a slut.
