Ginny Weasley

Ginevra Molly "Ginny" Potter (née Weasley) (born 11 August 1981) is one of the protagonists from the Harry Potter series. She first appears as a minor character in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, returning as a major character in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a supporting character in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the deuteragonist in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and a major character in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
She is a student at Hogwarts a year behind Harry and his friends. She goes on to become Harry's girlfriend and ultimately his wife, having three children with him, Albus, James, and Lily.
In the films, she was portrayed by and in the original play, she was portrayed by Poppy Miller.
==Physical appearance==
Ginny is known to be a pretty girl, short in stature with long red hair (like all of her family) and brown eyes like her mother. When she gets angry, her eyes become hard and blazing. She also has fair skin that turns as red as her hair when she blushes. When not in uniform, she dresses modestly and dons jewelry and make-up only for special occasions. 
==Personality==
Ginny is a strong-willed and independent girl, but her crush on Harry Potter causes her to become shy and withdrawn. On the advice of Hermione Granger, she becomes the girl she once was, which ends up attracting Harry. Thanks to her six big brothers, she was never afraid to stand up to anyone, be it her friend or her foe. For example, she stands up to Draco Malfoy in the summer of 1992 and defends Harry against Hermione when he uses Sectumsempra on Draco. She also knows how to defend herself on her own, notably by casting a Bat-Fury hex on Zacharias Smith when he annoys her during her fifth year, which does not fail to please Professor Horace Slughorn who invites her to lunch. In many ways, Ginny looks like Lily Evans. She is a very popular person who is of great interest to boys, which strongly displeases her brother Ron. She is also quick-witted and knows how to get the necessary joke out when needed to lighten the mood. Her acting skills will also help her very often. For example, she will scare members of Dumbledore's army by imitating the characteristic little cough of Dolores Umbridge in The Boar's Head.
She is a big animal lover, going from Mrs. Norris to Pigwidgeon. She is one of the only ones to succeed in bringing Crookshanks out of his hiding places to play with him. She gets her own pet in fifth year, a Puffball from Weasley, Pranks for Facetious Wizards named Arnold.
==Powers and Abilities==
===Powers===
*Magic: Ginny is well-versed in magic, being able cast multiple spells and curses, and expresses them in various ways:
**Defence Against the Dark Arts:  Magic dealing with defending a person or person(s) from any form of dark magic, i. e. a curse. Ginny was well-verse in defence against Dark magic, thanks to Harry teaching her how to use it properly. Ginny was also able to stop a curse from hitting her when Bellatrix casted it.
**Dueling: The use of magic against an enemy attacking a person with evil and harmful magic, Ginny was talented in dueling, especially during the battle of the Department of Mysteries. Even during the battle of Hogwarts, Ginny was even able to sustain a fight with Bellatrix Lestrange, but only for a short while, even with Hermione and Luna's help.
**Casting Charms: Used for defecting charms such as memory charms and patronus charms.  
***Patronus: Ginny could create a patronus by her fourth year, which took Corporeal form of the horse. A corporeal form is much more efficient than a non-corporeal one.  
***Scouring Charm: She used it in 1995 to clean all the Stinksap out of a compartment on the Hogwarts Express. 
*Dark Arts: Though not a dark witch, Ginny could perform Dark Magic, at least moderately. She could create the Bat-Bogey Hex (which is what got her admitted into slug Club by Professor Slughorn) and performs the Reductor Curse quite well.
*Flying: Ginny eventually became an accomplished flyer and played both Chaser (which she prefers, as she likes scoring goals) and Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Despite not playing Seeker regularly, she was able to defeat Cho Chang, a seasoned Seeker. She even effectively stepped into the shoes of the extremely talented Harry Potter (although she admitted that Harry was a better Seeker than her), winning Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup in 1996 and 1997. As an adult, Ginny became a professional Quidditch player for the Holyhead Harpies. In later years, she used her experiences in the sport to instruct the new members of the Statute of Secrecy Task Force on body control techniques upon falling off a broom.
*Love: One of the strongest magic known to Wizard kind. Ginny loved her family dearly, especially developing a strong love for Harry.
