When I read that part in the book before getting to the end when he sees Ginny I immediatly thought that the flowery smell is Ginny.

Oh my goodness.. I never even realized that. However, I didn't exactly expect Harry to find an interest in Ginny in the first place.. so I bet that never even occurred to me for that reason.

Okay, in chapter nine of the book Harry went to Potions he caught a wiff of the Amortentia (a potion that smells like whatever attracts an indevidual).
Here's what Harry smelled:
Treacle tart
Woody smell of a broomstick handle
Something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow

So why's that important? Well at the end of the chapter this paragraph can be found (I'm using the USA version):
Quote:
"Hang on," said a voice by Harry's left ear and he caught a sudden waft of that flowery smell he had picked up in Slughorn's dungeon. He looked around and saw that Ginny had joined them.


I can't believe I don't pick that up the first time I read it. Rowling...is...a...genius!


youre' right! i never noticed that! that's interesting! wow! i should read it again!

That's what always happens with me too. It took me 3 times to read the fifth book for the second time because school projects kept interfering.
