Ginny, and a little thoughts on book 7
So now Ginny= pretty much the pre-HBP Draco with female bits and without reasonable justifications for her biotchiness has become sort of a popular view. Well, I feel somewhat smug for having pointed that out in adela711's lj before I even finished the book ;-) Unlike the rest of the not!Ginny-fan!fandom though, I am not harboring a deep loathing for Ginny
( Read more... )
And yet...this is encouraged by the author's voice in the book as well as her interviews. Hermione chooses Gryffindor because she heard it was the "best" house. (I wonder if someone can be in a house and not embody it's attributes....or is it a matter of say I want to be loyal so I will strive to be that way.)
JKR would want to be in Gryffindor although she thinks she's a Hufflepuff. "Bravery" is the most important and so on and so worth...
Notice the ideal girl for Harry has to come from Gryffindor.
I was under the impression that the four founders were equals who worked together to build the school...but it doesn't come across that way. Gryffindor seems to be placed ahead of the others with Slytherin discounted because he's "bad" and the women barely mentioned.
Personally, I think since she has harped on the courage issue that she needs to show members of all of the houses exhibiting it in some manner. They are not Gryffindors, but Gryffindors tend to recklessness and arrogance in their actions.
hoping Draco would be the key to opening Slytherin's locket.
I hope so!
interhouse-unity in book 6 and 7,
I'm wondering if the breach of Hogwarts by the deatheaters will force the houses together.

True! I think it's largely due to Dumbledore, a Gryffindor principle upholding Gryffindor values ;-) Makes me wonder what were the days like under Phineas Nigellus's reign, oh yeah he was the least popular Hogwarts principle wasn't he, I wonder why /sarcasm>
The founder women? I am willing to bet a lot on one of them being just like Hermione, and the other just like Ginny/Lily, you know the bestest wise and wild women archetype in HPverse X-D!!!

Oh! Yeah... I think that'll be told from a non-Harry POV, or someone will just tell Harry what happened after the DE incident! Since Harry won't be in Hogwarts much if at all. Gosh at least I hope so, am so not interested in a Hogwarts w/o Snape and Draco!!!
