Harry married Ginny at some unknown point.1 Harry worked as an Auror,2 while Ginny initially played for the Holyhead Harpies and then became a Quidditch correspondent.3
I feel somewhat comfortable with this pairing unless and except if you include the Cursed Child play. If that gets categorised as a fan fiction work, then my concerns are more limited. It mostly comes down to the disconnect between what I would consider an ideal ending and what secular culture does. Harry, whose greatest desire is for family, must have made many compromises to successfully navigate a relationship with Ginny as she works for the Harpies. While I have no moral qualms about women working, I think that the children would be impacted with Harry and Ginny both having very demanding jobs like this. In that sense I suppose Cursed Child is slightly more believable. I do not see, from the outside looking in, the same level of devotion from Ginny to Harry that I suspect he must have for her. However, the two working parent family is the secular norm, and from a secular standpoint, of course Ginny had to achieve all of her dreams without compromise. Still, I find it hard to believe that Harry would allow himself to become so disconnected from his family as Cursed Child makes out.
