Analysis

Snippet analysis

“There’s room in this one, there’s only Loony Lovegood in here — ”

Neville mumbled something about not wanting to disturb anyone.

“Don’t be silly,” said Ginny, laughing, “she’s all right.”

She slid the door open and pulled her trunk inside it. Harry and Neville followed.

“Hi, Luna,” said Ginny. “Is it okay if we take these seats?”1

This is probably the most troublesome thing that Ginny says in the entire series. It is also the biggest counter example to trying to deal with the next quote. The only interesting thing is that while Ginny uses the name “Loony” outside the compartment, she switches to “Luna” as soon as they go in, and immediately strikes up a friendly conversation with the outcast girl. This is not in character for someone who uses derogatory names. The contradiction in Ginny’s behaviour is unexplained, to my knowledge, by cannon sources.

“Oh, for heaven’s sake, Harry, you can do better than her, ” said Hermione. “Ginny’s told me all about her, apparently she’ll only believe in things as long as there’s no proof at all. Well, I wouldn’t expect anything else from someone whose father runs The Quibbler.”2

When reading this keep in mind that this is filtered through Hermione. While it looks fairly harsh, PercabethHinny noted in Discovering the Truth that Hermione might be misrepresenting Ginny’s actual words (emphasis mine).3
