Please create the standard disclaimer about how this essay is a peice of crap and I'm so sorry I wrote it and please don't judge me if it's horrible in your heads because I can't be bothered to write it all out. *laughs* But, really, I've wanted to write something about what I think Ginny's character was meant to come off as and what JKR was ( Read more... )

Thank you very much! :) Sorry for the late reply, I haven't been checking my e-mails.
The beta of my essay is on my page which you should now be able to view. It's about...uh...three entries back or so.

Actually, I've decided to tweak it tonight. Expect the possibly finished version, or at least essay 2.0 up tonight.
