Like many wizards and witches, Harry obtained his wand in preparation for his first year at Hogwarts. Visiting Olivanders, Harry was paired with a wand made of holly wood, eleven inches in length, with a phoenix feather core. As many know, Harry's wand core is shared with Voldemort, whose tail feather came from the same phoenix.News: 'Cursed Child reveals first look at Harry, Ginny, and Albus Potter in character' at Pottermore Weasley: Arthur had 2 brothers, but we don't know their names ( JKR). According to Jo, Ginny is the first female to be born into the Weasley family in generations, so we can deduce that Arthur had no sisters ( JKR). Dumbledore's Army was an organisation founded by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley in 1995, and led and taught by Harry Potter to oppose Dolores Umbridge, as well as offer students a place to learn and practise defensive magic. Ginny was one of the first to join, and the one who came up with calling the organisation ' Dumbledore's Army,' based on Cornelius Fudge's paranoid fears of Dumbledore mobilising Hogwarts students in a coup against the Ministry. She was also partially responsible for bringing several of its Ravenclaw members into the fold, as her then-boyfriend Michael Corner brought his friends Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein with him to the first meeting. Cousins: Mafalda, a cousin who never made it into the books ( JKR) and her father the Muggle accountant ( PS6).

Hermione gave Ginny advice on how to deal with her feelings for Harry [10] — advice that would lead to her going out with him and their eventual marriage. In the summer of 1996, when Hermione was staying at the Burrow, Ginny and Hermione openly disliked Fleur Delacour and criticised her together. Ginny appeared to be disgusted with her brother Ron Weasley, Hermione's love interest, when, after a fight with Ginny, Ron began dating Lavender Brown. However, Ginny was not afraid to stand up to Hermione when she felt she was wrong, for example when Hermione scolded Harry Potter for using the Sectumsempra spell. [10] Harry Potter: " I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together." Ginny: " It's for some stupid, noble reason, isn't it?" Harry Potter: " Voldemort uses people his enemies are close to... Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you." — Harry breaking up with Ginny for her own safety [src] Harry and Ginny share a lot in common when it comes to Lord Voldemort-they were both temporary Parselmouths, they were both briefly possessed by Lord Voldemort and they have also lost family members to Voldemort. Lily looked like her mother and was jealous of her brothers, who were leaving for Hogwarts, exactly as her mother had been in 1991. Ginny comforted Albus (who physically resembled his father) when he was nervous about the possibility of being sorted into Slytherin house, and scolded James for teasing his brother. After James interrupted his cousin Victoire while she was kissing Teddy Lupin, Ginny noted how similar he was to Ron. Minerva McGonagall is one of the most underrated figures in Harry Potter. A strong figure of resilience and truth at Hogwarts, McGonnagal might never have been easy on Potter and his friends, but always treated them with the respect she deemed necessary.

Leadership skills: At the young age of sixteen, Ginny was able to effectively co-lead Dumbledore's Army alongside Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom, showing her to have been a capable and resilient leader. By the end of her fifth year, Ginny and Harry began dating after spontaneously kissing in the aftermath of Gryffindor winning the Quidditch Cup. They broke up shortly thereafter, as Harry realised that if they continued dating openly, Voldemort would seek to use her to get to him, as he had done previously. He simply could not bring himself to endanger her life while he sought a way to destroy Voldemort. Calling the break up an 'act of nobility', Ginny accepted his decision, but always held onto the hope that he would return to her. [10] In spite of the break-up, their feelings for each other remained as strong as ever. On Harry's seventeenth birthday, Ginny ' kissed him as she had never kissed him before,' though they were interrupted by Ron, with Hermione in tow. Ron discouraged Harry from ' getting [Ginny's] hopes up,' mentioning that his sister was ' really cut up' when Harry attempted to end their relationship. Hermione, on the other hand, seemed to be more sympathetic toward Harry and Ginny's actions. Ginny wears the number 5 in her Gryffindor Quidditch team tunic in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Many photographs and posters have her wearing number 6, but that is the number of the generic tunic she wore only for the try-outs. Several times throughout the series, some of Ginny's actions are described as being catlike. [ citation needed] However, her personality does not reflect the style of her actions, as her Patronus is a horse instead of a cat.
