@Munro-eli: Yes, Harry deserves someone fierce and loyal, and I do admit that Ginny has those characteristics. The thing about Harry/Ginny is that the characters have absolutely no chemistry. They're very boring to read about. And the actors are even worse. Radcliffe is a decent actor and Wright is very bad.

To add on to that, their relationship in HBP was arbitrary and unprecedented. Harry ignored the girl for four and a half books. And even when he started paying the slightest bit of attention to her, he never remarked on her personality in his head or even called her pretty. It all happens at once. To add even more to that, we only really get to know Ginny in HPB. We find out that she's basically a Mary-Sue. She's pretty. She's popular. She's fierce. She's loyal. My God, that girl has no flaws. I've been overall satisfied by Rowling's writing, but she really effed up when it came to Harry/Ginny.
