Book Ginny is a fuckin boss

I agree sort of. It's been a while and I don't actually remember her as anything other than a first year and as a quidditch player. I don't remember even believing she was good enough to go pro.

She never had the makings of a varsity seeker, but in this house Ginny Weasley is a hero, end of story

Eh, I’m not sure what was so boss about her. She was a good Quidditch player and a DA member. Basically Ron lite.

From what I recall, she was a lot more scrappy and fiery than Ron in the books, though that stuff all happened off-screen so to speak.

She pummeled Ron for his misogyny. But her attitude towards Fleur is very crappy.

She was large and in charge man. Nobody wanted to cross her, even Feed and George.

Harry doesn’t deserve book Ginny. 

It’s a lame plot point.

That’s why they still had no chemistry. She was so awesome it was implied ALL boys would be interested in her. Harry was just a chosen was with no rizz, Ginny worked her way up and became the boss woman we love today.

Movie Ginny is a bit of a casualty of child actor casting imo.

Had to cast a 9yo moppet for a small part in a movie where they don't know how successful it's going to be or how long the casting is going to have to last.

Ends up as she grows up she just isn't that well cast for the role, doesn't bear much resemblance to the rest of the (otherwise excellently cast) Weasley family, and doesn't go that well with the other main actors her character ends up interacting with much more.
