I think you're wrong; it's a canon fact that Ginny is pretty and good looking.
And in DH, we have Victor Krum noticing Ginny. But he also notices Hermione. Does this mean Hermione is a great beauty?
Viktor does more than 'notice' Ginny; he remarks outright on her looks:
"This girl is very nice looking," Krum said ...
...
"Vot," he said, draining his goblet and getting to his feet again, "is the point of being an international Quidditch player if all the good-looking girls are taken?"
Viktor leaves us convinced as to Ginny's good looks, telling us twice.
Pansy's remark in HBP is also much more assertive, leaving Ginny's good looks in no doubt:
"A lot of boys like her," said Pansy, watching Malfoy out of the corner of her eyes for his reaction. "Even you think she's good looking, don't you, Blaise, and we all how hard you are to please!"
Yes, Blaise wouldn't have a bar of Ginny, but that's on ethical grounds; he thinks she's a 'blood traitor'. But *a lot of boys* like Ginny and think she's pretty.
I'm sure there are other scenes in canon where Ginny is blatantly described as pretty. When they're shopping in Diagon Alley, for example, a street vendor suggests that Molly purchase something for her "pretty daughter/girl", something like that.
Ginny is never called *beautiful* - she's not a classic beauty like Fleur - but she is most definitely good looking / pretty. Nothing but the best for the hero and his love interest!
