why cant I change this page? I would like to add something about Ginny. She is my favorite person from Harry Potter. I want to add some more info about her and Harry and their kids. Please tell me how I can add it!!
J.K. Rowling's offical website says her birthday is on Aug. 11, on wizard of the month
Blood fractions are offensive
I don't think it's appropriate to apparently casually and systematically describe characters by the proportion that they are witches and wizards. It completely misses the point that Rowling was making and is the kind of thing a death eater would put in a bio.

Blood fractions are important to Voldemort's followers, and among others to the Black family with exception of Sirius Black and of Nymphadora Tonk's mother (Andromeda Tonks née Black, sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa). The fact that the Weasleys are full-blood wizards (and, as the Dark Wizards call them, "blood traitors") is mentioned in Order of the Phoenix chapter six, when Harry discovers the Blacks' genealogical tree affixed on the wall, and has Sirius explain it oo him, so it is part of the Harry Potter epos as told in the books. About being offensive, I don't see any offence in calling the Weasleys "full-blooded", Snape "half-blood" (he labeled himself the Half-blood Prince, remember?), and Hermione herself said she was "a Mudblood and proud of it" (Deathly Hallows ch. 24). It's all in the tone: Mudblood becomes an insult in Draco Malfoy's mouth or even in Kreacher's, but they miss their mark because Hermione decides not to take offence. —

Because they don't have other daughters. Only daughter doesn't mean only child if right before it it says "youngest sibling". —El Millo (

Full Name?
Just out of curiosity, in the opening paragraph with her name in bold, why is her name listed as "Ginny Weasley" and not "Ginevra Molly Weasley"? I happened to notice that on the other Harry Potter character's pages, their full names are showcased, such as "Ronald Bilius Weasley" instead of just "Ron Weasley." Is there a specific reason for not displaying Ginny's full name, or is it an oversight? — Preceding

There isn't a particular reason for Ginny being different. However, is her full name stated in the books? Is there a reliable source that can corroborate that is the character's full name? Because otherwise it's an unsourced addition, and anyone seeing it add it might conclude that whoever's adding it is simply making it up. —El Millo (

No, because she's Weasley for the majority of the books. She only becomes Potter in the epilogue - and even then with the exception of "Rowling said so" there's no canon to say they were married, or even took Potter's name if so. See
WP:HPP/SG - which is linked in the hidden text of the lede para.

"The Potter family — minus Mother, Ginny Potter, who of course is here in the journalists’ enclosure with me — have been given prime places in the front row."
