Ginny Weasley

Ginevra "Ginny" Molly Weasley (born August 11 1981)http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrcom/birthdayarchive.shtmlhttp://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_view.cfm?id=63 is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series. She is the youngest of Arthur Weasley and Molly Weasley's seven children. She has vivid red hair and bright brown eyes, is repeatedly described as small, and is occasionally likened to a cat. She is a deceptively talented magic user in spite of her size, noted especially for her skill with the Bat-Bogey Hex. According to author J.K. Rowling, she is also the first female born into the Weasley line in "several generations."http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=7

Trivia

• Ginevra is the Italian form of Guinevere. There seems to be somewhat of a running theme of Arthurian legend in some Weasley family names.
• Ginny mentions Voldemort by name at the end of book 6, making her one of only a select few people (and only the third student, after Harry and Hermione) who is willing to say his name. Prior to that, she did not refer to him by name.
