Ginny Weasley's Background Story

Ginevra Molly Weasley, born in 1981, was the youngest child and only daughter in the Weasley family. Initially shy around Harry Potter, whom she'd had a crush on since childhood, Ginny grew into a powerful witch and confident young woman. In her first year, she was possessed by Tom Riddle's diary, an experience that gave her inner strength. She became a skilled Quidditch player, a fierce duelist, and a loyal member of Dumbledore's Army. Eventually, she and Harry began dating and later married. Ginny became a professional Quidditch player and then a sports journalist.
