Quando JK Rowling decidiu fazer Harry e Ginny um casal?

19

Perguntei uma pergunta semelhante recentemente, e me ocorreu que só vemos Harry sentindo atração por Ginny em Harry Potter e o Príncipe Mestiço (enfatiza o meu):

They chose the one nearest a gold-colored cauldron that was emitting one of the most seductive scents Harry had ever inhaled: Somehow it reminded him simultaneously of treacle tart, the woody smell of a broomstick handle, and something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow. He found that he was breathing very slowly and deeply and that the potion’s fumes seemed to be filling him up like drink. A great contentment stole over him; he grinned across at Ron, who grinned back lazily.

e um pouco depois

“Excellent, excellent! Now, this one here... yes, my dear?” said Slughorn, now looking slightly bemused, as Hermione’s hand punched the air again.

It’s Amortentia!”

“It is indeed. It seems almost foolish to ask,” said Slughorn, who was looking mightily impressed, “but I assume you know what it does?”

“It’s the most powerful love potion in the world!” said Hermione.

“Quite right! You recognized it, I suppose, by its distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen?”

“And the steam rising in characteristic spirals,” said Hermione enthusiastically, “and it’s supposed to smell differently to each of according to what attracts us, and I can smell freshly mown grass and new parchment and -”

Então sabemos que algo com um cheiro floral na Toca atrai Harry. Estes próximos trechos mostram que é não o jardim deles:

“Hang on,” said a voice close by Harry’s left ear and he caught a sudden waft of that flowery smell he had picked up in Slughorn’s dungeon. He looked around and saw that Ginny had joined them. “Did I hear right? You’ve been taking orders from something someone wrote in a book, Harry?”

e finalmente

Only as he walked blindly back through the crowd did he realize, from a trace of flowery scent on the air, that it was Ginny who was leading him back into the castle. Incomprehensible voices battered him, sobs and shouts and wails stabbed the night, but Harry and Ginny walked on, back up the steps into the entrance hall.


Então foi só depois Harry Potter ea Ordem da Fênix que JK Rowling decidiu colocar Harry e Ginny juntos ou ela decidiu antes, mas só colocou em movimento Harry Potter e o Príncipe Mestiço?

Note que Harry não mostra nenhum sinal de atração por Ginny em Harry Potter ea Ordem da Fênix.

Isso foi planejado anos antes do Livro 6

Numa entrevista em Leaky Cauldron em 2005, Rowling revelou que pretendia que esses dois personagens terminassem juntos, porque Harry precisava de alguém "quem pode suportar as demandas de estar com Harry Potter". Eles não eram emocionalmente maduros o suficiente desde o início e é por isso que esse relacionamento atrasou de certa forma.

MA: Had you been trying to get them —

JKR: Well I always knew that that was going to happen, that they were going to come together and then part.

ES: Were you always -----ing it? [We can’t figure out what Emerson actually said here.]

JKR: Well, no, not really, because the plan was, which I really hope I fulfilled, is that the reader, like Harry, would gradually discover Ginny as pretty much the ideal girl for Harry. She's tough, not in an unpleasant way, but she's gutsy. He needs to be with someone who can stand the demands of being with Harry Potter, because he's a scary boyfriend in a lot of ways. He's a marked man. I think she's funny, and I think that she's very warm and compassionate.

These are all things that Harry requires in his ideal woman. But, I felt — and I'm talking years ago when all this was planned — initially, she's terrified by his image. I mean, he's a bit of a rock god to her when she sees him first, at 10 or 11, and he's this famous boy. So Ginny had to go through a journey as well. And rather like with Ron, I didn’t want Ginny to be the first girl that Harry ever kissed. That's something I meant to say, and it's kind of tied in.

Era intencional para Ginny mostrar sua afeição por Harry para os leitores muito antes (Harry Potter e a Câmara Secreta), mas realmente acabou com ele depois de ter amadurecido o suficiente e se tornar a "mulher ideal" para ele.

Além disso, Harry teve que passar por sua própria jornada emocional também, antes de estar, simplesmente colocado, "pronto".

One of the ways in which I tried to show that Harry has done a lot of growing up — in “Phoenix,” remember when Cho comes into the compartment, and he thinks, ‘I wish I could have been discovered sitting with better people,’ basically? He's with Luna and Neville. So literally the identical thing happens in “Prince,” and he's with Luna and Neville again, but this time, he has grown up, and as far as he's concerned he is with two of the coolest people on the train. They may not look that cool. Harry has really grown. And I feel that Ginny and Harry, in this book, they are total equals. They are worthy of each other. They've both gone through a big emotional journey, and they've really got over a lot of delusions, to use your word, together.
