which character do you hate the most...


Harry Potter is one of the best young adult books series ever made. Hands down the series is terrific. The movies, while not as good and frankly cut out way to much, were still really good. But nothing is perfect. And its always more fun to dump on something than say nice things about it. So in that spirit, which character did you hate the most.

One of the strengths of the series was how many well developed, well rounded characters
their were. From Harry to Bellatrix, from Luna to Mundungus Fletcher, it was the amount of different and interesting charters that made the Harry Potter Universe so fun and diverse. But with so many characters spread out across 7 books and 8 eight movies, you can't love em all.

As for me i always hated Ginny Weasley. She was a bitch. She always seemed very full of herself. Now one of the strengths of the Potter series, compared to something like Lord of the Rings (which was always stupid) is that it actually had well developed female characters and not just like one token chick. Characters like Hermione, Luna, Bellatrix, Tonks, Mcgonagall, Cho, Narcissa and so on. Hell, one of the most bad ass moments in the series comes from Molly Weasley (if your familiar with the books/or movies you should know what I'm talking about). And really, how often do middle aged house wife's get to be bad ass. So yeah the Harry Potter universe has a lot of good female characters. But Ginny, just a bitch. Just a bitchy unpleasant tough chick stereotype.
Didn't have much of a character other than that. Plus she was kind of a skank. i think she dated every guy in the school but her brothers. And she was just kind of nasty.

In Half Blood Prince, i remember in one scene Ron was trying to get a kiss good bye form Fleur Delacour, she was giving them out, and Ginny tripped him on his way to her. And he fell flat on his face. Now a jokes a joke, but i got to say, if i had a chance to kiss a supernaturally hot french girl and my sister tripped me. I would have gone crazy. And threw out the books, there was a lot of stuff like. Which wouldn't be so bad if she had a little more character. But no, she's just kind of full of herself, and kind of a bitch. And as for the movies, they didn't make her any better. The actress they got to play her was pretty flat. Pretty bland. Also, in neither the book nor the movies, did her and Harry have any real chemistry. They should not have ended up together. I think even J K Rowling eventually realized that she screwed up on who ended up with who (Ron and Hermione, wasn't crazy about that either).

Anyway i think i have pretty definitively proven that Ginny sucks, but what about you?

Who did u hate the most?

You really had to copy/paste this on the board of every Harry Potter movie? It's not that good/interesting.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

I'd hardly call Ginny a "hate-worthy" character--there are plenty of bad guys in the Potter series! However, she wasn't a very well-developed character, and always seemed JK Rowling's most Mary Sue character (which may be why she comes off as unrealistic). I'd never call her a skank--during one school year, she dated three guys (mostly due to Hermione's advice to show interest in other boys to get over her crush on Harry).

U didn't answer my question

I actually think she sucks too. I don't understand her pairing with Harry. In the books, it seemed so forced. And in the movies it made me cringe. JK eventually though that Harry and Hermione were the ones who were more naturally inclined towards each other. But she wrote it to be Ron instead mostly as her own personal wish fulfillment. Cause well Harry already has everything.

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love..

Definitely Umbridge. And I loved Ginny. She wasn't a bitch, or full of herself. I don't know what the hell you're talking about. You obviously dislike her for some reason, and now you're just making up reasons to justify that hatred. Just say you didn't like her character and leave it at that.

Though Rowling admits that IN SOME WAYS, Harry/Hermione may work better, she said that from the very beginning Harry and Ginny were going to end up together, even stating that she wrote Ginny to be Harry's deal girl. I even have a quote from her here: "Harry and Ginny are real soulmates. They’re both very strong and very passionate. That’s their connection, and they’re remarkable together."

reply

Just because Rowling says something after the story was written doesn't mean the opinions we form while reading it aren't valid. I found Ginny rather obnoxious and unimportant and that she didn't really much chemistry with Harry. I don't hate her though as I don't care about who paired off with who.

reply

I'm not making up reasons to justify my hatred. I'm pointing out the way Ginny acted. And because of the way she acted, hating her is the normal and appropriate reaction.

I agree. For me the worst was Umbridge and I always liked Ginny, sometimes even more than Hermione, although she'll always be my fav. The thing is that we as readers don't know much about her character imo.

umbridge

I don't hate but the Weasly twins are so annoying. And they talk at the same time. Annoying.

reply

Well, I think I have to choose two most hateworthy characters: Marge Dursley and Dolores Umbridge.
Ginny is maybe a Mary Sue as somebody pointed out, but I don't hate her or even dislike her.

reply

Hey, I like how you write.

Umbridge
