20 Worst Moments In Wizarding World Movies

6. Harry And Ginny's Romance

For crying out loud - they really, really needed to get this pairing right. Ginny Weasley is the love of Harry Potter's life and she will eventually be his wife, but instead their romance was painfully rushed and the pair didn't have the slightest bit of chemistry.

Out of nowhere, Harry fancies Ginny, who's dating Dean Thomas (Alfred Enoch), then those two break up off-screen and later on, Ginny and Harry suddenly kiss in the Room of Requirement. The romance speeds along with no build-up or genuine emotion at all.

As for that scene where Ginny crouches down and ties Harry's shoelace while he's looking down on her... you know what, let's not even go there.

The moment where Ginny hugs Harry after Dumbledore's (Michael Gambon) death was a nice touch, but other than that this romance was largely screwed up and the book version was ten times better. The fact that more attention was paid to Ron and Lavender's romance (which was basically a joke) than this one is still baffling to this day.
