How The Harry Potter Movies Ruined Ginny Weasley's Character

Harry Potter Fans Were Upset With Ginny Weasley's Character In The Films.

Who thought Ginny Weasley was annoying in the Harry Potter films? Who was confused why she and Harry wound up together? Any Potterheads who are in this category may not have had the chance to read the books. Ginny Weasley went from a young, inexperienced girl who was overcome by Harry Potter and his fame to a strong, powerful witch that Harry wound up choosing as his wife. The movies had a lot to cover and did a good job of doing so, but they definitely left out some key parts, especially when it came to the Ginny Weasley story arc. While the movies depicted her as a manic pixie dream girl who was obsessed with Harry, readers of the books will recognize that Ginny was a powerful, spunky, independent and positive role model for women. She may have stuck out only for her red hair in the films, but the books painted her as the layered, dynamic and fire character she truly was. Unfortunately, people who only saw the film wouldn’t get the chance to see this brilliant character developed as many of her scenes and moments of significance were either glossed over or not included at all. This video will look at her transformation from shy girl to warrior witch, the depth of her relationship with Harry and take note of all the reasons she was so much more than just a love interest. While the movies don’t do her justice, we’re here to set the record straight!

Book Ginny: Bat boogey hexes, cool and fierce.
Movie Ginny: Ties Harry's shoelaces.

Exactly and another thing I hated from the movies, they never again mentioned her traumatic first year... in Prisoner, Ginny is affected badly by the dementors, she sobs uncontrollably and she also never trusts anything where she can't see its brain again. She also has a go at Harry for shutting her out in the Order of the Phoenix book as she knows how being possessed by Voldemort feels. Ginny is so much more than just a love interest

movie ginny: dont you trust me *awkwardly feeds harry pie*
book ginny: don't you trust me *shoves pie in harrys face* haha big mistake

Books: Ginny is just AMAZING
Movies: GinNy wHo nOw

Ginny takes after her mother. Molly Weasley may be a stay at home mother, but she is the one who takes out Bellatrix. She is one powerful witch, and Ginny is, too.

Book Ginny: Headstrong, rebellious, confident, popular
Movie Ginny: Shoelace
FYI love Bonnie Wright it was the screen writers fault. 😂

The harry potter filmmakers cutted every scene where ron was actually a helpful friend
Because they shipped harry and hermoine and made ron look like a idiot

[averymoran]

Honestly, there better be a good reason.
I loved Ginny in the books.
In the movies, however, who is GiNnY WeAsLeY?!

[sumitghosh]

Honestly, Ron and Ginny both deserved more attention. The only thing I’m really mad about is they changed Ron so much that people started thinking why is Ron in Gryffindor ? Like People in Gryffindor are known for their bravery, And the craters made him look that he is scared of almost everything.

[rhydonbeacham]

Don’t forget that Harry and Ginny were both touched by Voldemort at young ages, and thus forced to grow up sooner than expected

[jkrause]

I've read the books, and seen the movies, and I really do think Steve Cloves could have brought forth Ginny Weasley quite a bit more without shifting the focus away from Harry Potter appreciably. Even playing up Ginny's and Hermione's friendship a little more might have been enough.

Ginny Weasley is amazing.. why doesn't she get more attention? She is so amazing..

They could’ve atleast showed the bat bogey hex cus it shows why she was invited to the dinner party
And they should’ve showed Harry and Ginny dating and breaking up cus it seems like they broke up without dating and we never knew the people’s reaction to them dating

Ginny is my favourite character I wish she got more screen time it’s unfair how little screen time she got in the movies. But J.K Rowling gave her a lot and that’s what she deserves. (I respect if you disagree)

[eliseingle]

I think Hermione Ginny and Luna would have made an awesome trio

[Ryuuchin]

The movie makers COMPLETELY erased Ginny's personality 😐

[harrypotterfan]

THE WHOLE REASON HARRY LIKED GINNY WAS BECAUSE OF HER PERSONALITY IN MATTER OF FACT THAT’S THING HE FELL INLOVE WITH FIRST!! WHEN THEY HAD CONVERSATIONS THROUGH OWL POST

[arsalansiddiquias]

I saw movies first and shipped Harry Hermione and hated Harry and Ginny but after watching movies I started reading books for the first time and then realised Harry and Ginny relation was better than Harry and Hermione.

[nafisajariwala]

Oh yesss! I want a movie which would have justice for Ginny's

[rhysvandermerwe]
