Talk about Ron Weasley.

Best ginger ever!

Totally!

I love how loyal he is to Harry. He wasn't always perfect but his heart was always there with his family and friends, including Harry.

Yes! I love Ro. A true Gryffindor.

I felt that Ron became more of a "real" character in the fourth book when he is overtly showing his jealousy over how little attention he gets when compared to Harry. Up until that point he was just kind of the comedic relief sidekick, in GOF he showed something that had been stirring for a while.

And in DH when he was wearing the locket and it portrayed his insecurities and fears in an exaggerated way. I really enjoyed how they portrayed that in DH pt.2 also, I think they did that scene justice.

Same. He should do an irn bru ad

Irn Bru Ad? O.o I'm not sure what that means.

Haha same here

Irn bru is a orangey coloured drink we have in England!

Why can't we all live in England? It would be so great.... But then it would be too crowded. Put the people who want to live there there. Hey look! Two theres.

Whoa whoa whoa...alix? You live in England?

I want to live in England. :( come find me and take me.

Haha same here

A NINTH MOVIE???????????/"

A NINTH MOVIE! HOW COULD I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?

i saw it on some articale... you can see it at the orlando parks
i really want to c it

Yes I heard about that!!! I really want to go to the theme park! <3

I stalk heaps of Harry Potter websites... *laughs nervously*

...I have no life.

but it's just like a short movie, nothing major and the movie is just plainly for the theme park.
But still it's a Harry Potter movie!! It's pretty exciting!

Is it just a movie you go on and sit down to watch or is it part of the ride through the castle?

That sounds pretty cool! I love Ron! Go gingers!

Justin Bieber has ruined that date. :P

Has anyone else made the connection between Rory Williams (from Doctor Who) and Ron Weasley? So..(I'm putting it in a spoiler so that people who don't watch Doctor Who won't have to read it.)
(view spoiler)[
~They both like a girl who they think is in love with their best friend (-ish, in Rory's case) but the girl ends up marrying them.
~They both have the same initials.
~Rory's middle name is Arthur! How cool is that! (And his actor is called Arthur too, but that's breaking the Fourth Wall.)
~The actor who plays Rory's dad, also plays Ron's dad!
~He's often overlooked over the other male in his group, and he's the underdog of most of them. (For Rory it's the Doctor, for Ron it's Harry.) (hide spoiler)]
Didn't Ron mention he had a cousin or uncle or something who's an accountant in PS/SS? So my theory is that he's Arthur's identical twin, and that he's a Squib, but he isn't an accountant, that's what Ron thinks. He changed his name to Brian Williams but he still named his son after his brother (partially). Which means if Rory (or Melody, for that case) has kids, they might be WIZARDS! :D

asdfghjkl;
That's amazing. That's brilliant. I'm blown away. You have to be right. I'll do what I must to prove it. I'll rewatch everything-and reread-until I make it cannon. I'll write fanfiction. I'll whisper in BBC's ear. It will happen.

I know! *genius*

Ron is a great character in the books/movies. I love how when the books start he's so mean to Hermione but by the end they are married. Wow now that I've stated that it's a bit weird because I would never think of Hermione to marry someone who has treated her so rudely...

Hermione and Ron just didn't hit it off, I suppose. By the middle of the first book they were already friends, and those times were behind them.

I prefer Ron over Harry, for the fact that Harry had the responsibility thrust upon him but Ron chose to fight against it, and fight for the people who turn their noses up at his family

^^This

I think that the trio, in general, represent three different types of discrimination. Harry is shunned by many for being an orphan, and different (prejudice, in general). Hermione is put down for being a Muggle-born (racism), and Ron is taunted for his family's socioeconomic status.

They kept fighting, though, throughout the series. Harry had to keep hoping they'd make up, and they always did.

Brilliant. I totally agree. There was anti- homophobia in JK's books too. Dumbledore.

Oh, yeah. I forgot that Dumbledore was gay....

Wait, what?

J.K. Rowling revealed during a Harry Potter event (was it a book signing? I can't remember) that Dumbledore was gay. He was madly in love with Gellert Grindelwald.

<3 So much yes.

Wow... I had no idea...

I have never heard that quote before.... ^.^

One of my favorites.

O.O Why am I hearing of this now? Funny thing, I looked up Harry Potter Funny to get some funny pix/sayings and one of them said something about dumbledore being gay. I was like...whaaaaaa? ((Like the minion in my profile pic ;D))

I loved the character of Ron. His jealousies and insecurities prove that he is a normal guy, and I am glad he was portrayed this way instead of showing some weak comic guy who sticks with Harry without any opinion of his own. I love how throughout the books we can see the development of his character, in the movies he is shown to be very shallow. But it is and added advantage that he was super cute in the earlier movies and super hot in the later ones.
