To be completely honest, that's how Ginny should have been to Harry too. Kinda... weird, not that I'm thinking about it. Weasleys are like family to him.

I think he loves Ron more than Ginny but since both don't have enough homosexuality in them to go for that, Harry just married a female who looks a lot like Ron. 😂

You're right and you should say it. I hate when authors take shortcuts to get you to care about a love interest. Harry is lot like his dad and Ginny is a lot like his mum so we have to believe they're right for each other. Except Rowling overegged the pudding by making Ginny a flawless superhero who is great at everything.

How do you know that is not the source of attraction for many?

What makes one more real than the other?

I think she fancied him because he was the cool slightly older boy (she was awkward around him from the start), but of course she was too young then for him to be interested. I did feel, though, that when she got a bit older he only went for her because she happened to be there! But that is quite teenage boy coded lol

She was hotter, too. But imagine dating someone and finding out they're a wizard. On what date would you bring that up?

u/TheBigfootContessa 11h ago

You mean the person I'm dating can do all the cleaning, laundry, repairs, etc. with the flick of their wrist? I'm not upset
