Harry Potter married his childhood sweetheart this weekend, the star chaser of the Holyhead Harpies, Ginevera Weasley. Many people took this as a time to celebrate, but I think it was appalling. Many people wish to celebrate along with the happy couple, and what did they provide the media with? Nothing, a complete blackout. It almost seems as if he doesn't care about the people and the families who had relatives that died defending him in the battle of Hogwarts. He has said himself that he could not of won without the help of the students defending him and then he goes and slaps the face of all these people and their relatives. Why weren't they allowed to celebrate the life their loved ones deaths help create?
The bride, so were told, wore white. After those pictures of her leaving his house, I really believe she had no right to be wearing white! Maybe scarlet would be a more appropriate colour! It would not of surprised me if it was announced soon that another Potter was on the way. Whenever she is mentioned, it is said that she managed to pull herself up from a disadvantaged background to become a professional quidditch player. How much talent does it actually take to fly a broom? My nephew can fly a child's broom and he's three, it wasn't that she used her intelligence!
I happened to be at Hogwarts at the same time as Harry and Ginny and in the same house. Ginny was known for being bulshy and opinionated. There was a very well known incident when her brother found her and her boyfriend ( I forgot which one, there were a few!) together in an empty corridor and he was not pleased at what he saw between them. She screamed at him! Harry was constantly avoiding everybody, preferring to stay with the safety of his two best friends. In fact, I distinctly remember him avoiding contact with me during his last year attending school. From what I've seen, and people don't change, this is a relationship where she is most definitely in charge. Take her wanton ways into consideration and this relationship won't last long, as soon as he plucks up the courage to say no, she will be gone, and with half his money. Or have spent it already. So, therefore I see no reason to celebrate the fact that the couple completely disregard the families that helped them become who they are and a marriage that is bound to fail. It's a travesty.
