Your opinion about Ginny is interesting, because I've seen so many people claim that she's a good character in the books, not in the movies, but honestly... She's not very well written. She looks good in comparison with her movie counterpart, but that's only because movie Ginny doesn't have much of a personality.

I wouldn't mind her being a "tomboy", there are plenty of girls who are like that. The problem is that the narrative looks down on other female characters who are traditionally feminine.

The story seems to imply that most girls are too emotional and vain, unlike Ginny, who is cool, sporty and "not like other girls". I think Hermione also gets a similar treatment, but she's the "book smart, intelligent girl" trope, a different type of "not like other girls".

Again, there's nothing wrong with any of these characteristics. The issue is acting like they are "superior" for being that way.

I agree 100%. The issue with Ginny—and honestly, Rowling's female characters in general—goes way beyond just the individual tropes. It's not about Ginny being a "tomboy" or Hermione being "book smart"; it's about how the narrative frames those traits in a deeply sexist way.

Rowling consistently pits her female characters against traditional "girly" traits, like being emotional, vain, or caring about appearances, as if those traits are inherently shallow or inferior. Ginny gets to be "cool" because she's sporty, tough, and “not like other girls.” Hermione is valued for her intelligence and practicality but is often shown to be above "silly" things like divination or gossips (unless, of course, she's being awkward or it’s for comic relief). Even Luna, who’s supposed to be this unique, whimsical character, only really gets respect as a manic pixie dream girl—a quirky outsider that fits neatly into a masculine fantasy of the "weird but lovable" girl.

And let’s not even get started on how motherhood is practically the only "redeeming" role for older women. You're either a nurturing, self-sacrificing mother (Molly Weasley) or you're a caricature of bitterness and cruelty (Aunt Marge, Umbridge). There's no middle ground.

The problem is that Rowling doesn't just use these traits as character details—she assigns value to them in a way that reflects a masculinized view of women. Women who exhibit traditionally "feminine" traits are mocked or dismissed, while those who embody masculine-coded traits (strength, independence, intelligence in a way that doesn't challenge male characters) are put on a pedestal. It’s not inherently bad to have a “cool tomboy” or a “nerdy girl” in your story, but when you repeatedly present them as better than other women just for not being “girly,” it reinforces the idea that femininity is lesser.

From a feminist perspective, this plays right into patriarchal ideas about the "right way" to be a woman. You're only worth something if you cater to male ideals: the “chill girl” who likes sports and doesn’t nag, the hyper-competent intellectual who doesn’t threaten the male ego, or the kooky outsider who exists to spice up someone else’s life. Anything else? Forget it. You're either a joke, a villain, or invisible.

So yeah, the problem isn’t the traits themselves. It’s that Rowling uses them to perpetuate these tired, sexist hierarchies about what makes a woman "good" or "worthy."

It’s crazy to me how hated pansy parkinson is by some fans, which to preface this I’m yet to read the books, but as far as I know all she did wrong was have a crush on Draco and after being told that Voldemort was gonna kill everyone until he got harry, questioned why they weren’t going to trade harry over then. Which yeah I can understand as a reader you’re not going to like it when the life of a character you’re made to root for is debated against, but like she really wasn’t in the wrong for that when you look at her perspective 😭😭 like she was uninformed!!! And scared!!!! All she knew was that supposedly harry had survived the killing curse as an infant. And to her knowledge the hope that he’d survive it again (when him originally surviving it was already a debated topic) was all that they were riding off to win this war, she didn’t know about the horacruxes or the prophecy.

Like idk I feel like I should just expect misogyny from this fandom at this point bc there’s soooo many other characters that could replace pansy in this rant (lavender and Ginny for example) who’ve done little to nothing!!!! But some ppl will go out of their way to give redemption arcs to fucking snape, Draco, even Tom riddle???? Like make it make sense!!!

Give my girl pansy her redemption.

Welp, if JK Rowling being executive producer and therefore being fully involved in the show wasn't enough for people to boycott, then here's HBO basically saying they don't care JK Rowling is a bigot from hell who literally helped lead a harassment campaign of lies against Imane Khalif in her transphobia and obsession with women being terf's standards of women alongside posting harassment against trans people on twitter at times, they gonna stand by her, while using the excuse, "personal views". Hmm, yes, personal views- that's one way to uh, call what the fuck JK Rowling comes out with a-lot- last I checked personal views do come with consquiences if said out loud....a thousand times in JK's case and still counting....especially if they hurt people, but hey, if it means making another Harry Potter project to milk, just let it fucking be I guess.

(James in an interview after his and Regulus’s movie just premiered)

Interviewer: How do you play being in love with your co-star so easy?

James: Being in love with Regulus really helped.

[thisonewhocanbreathe]

“we need more complex female characters” the second women start showing a glimpse of emotion y’all call them over-sensitive or annoying. smh.

[daddiesdrarryy]

James: Okay, everything is under control, Pads. I came to your house, made sure your parents weren’t home and got your old clothes from Kreacher and Regulus

Sirius: You met Regulus?

James: I didn’t just meet him. We kissed a little

Sirius, screaming: NOOOOOOO!

James: Pads! What happened? What’s wrong?

Sirius: …you just made out with my brother

Sirius: *screaming louder*
