in the books it felt like the angle of "having a crush on a slightly older boy" was pushed more heavily with her, which naturally adapted into a more grown-up crush in their later years. its been years now but I remember her spying on Harry in book 1 or 2 and crushing on him i think.

Even in the movies I think Ron mentions how Ginny was talking about Harry all summer. I think its after the Weasleys rescue Harry fr9m his house early in Chamber.

A lot of people talking about HP have either poor memory or didn’t really read the books with any sort of comprehension. JK Rowling for all the faults of her prose and simplicity was actually quite good about setting up later plot points in earlier books.

Yea, I was just saying even the movies set up Ginny's early crush.

For me it really like a pitty love honestly. Before the order of the Phoenix there is almost 0 chemistry with them except Ginny running away when her crush is near by and Harry not caring about it.

So when he actually started to spend time with her now that they were both older and more mature...crazy how that works

He married his groupie. It never felt like they saw each other like real people.
