What do you think of Team Starkid’s portrayal of Ron in the potter musicals?

I haven’t actually watched AVPM the whole way through just yet (haven’t found the time), but I’ll post my thoughts about it when I do. 

So far, I like it, since it pokes fun at the way the fandom perceives him. Also, I like how many BROTP moments him and Harry get.

Thanks for the ask, anon!

Ron Weasley’s portrayal?

  • His b(romance) with Harry
  • Getting background music every time he came on stage.
  • His romance with Hermione.
  • His rivalry with Draco
  • His bromance with Snape.
  • Basically the entire, “Sidekick,” performance.
  • “That’s Lavender Brown! RACIST SISTER!”
  • “I see myself in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Hermione’s turning into a blueberry and I want to eat her.”

Just look at this…

Or maybe this?

Or how about this?

Just look at these cuties…

the love of my life with the love of his life…

This precious unicorn…

And this pretty much sums up Ron…

Joey Richter is an angel on planet earth and anything that he does is perfection. Therefore, his portrayal of Ron Weasley is perfection. Minus the casual sexism in Starkid, starkid!ron was perfect.

Was the casual sexism supposed to be ironic? Or was it just a product of the time it was made (the late 2000s/early 2010s)? 

Ron Weasley: (points out that Hermione- being a girl- isn’t technically allowed in the boys dormitory)
Ron Weasley: (is physically irritated by Hermione’s crush on Lockhart)
Ron Weasley: (Is shocked and a little terrified when Hermione hugs him)
HP fandom: Ron clearly didn’t realise Hermione was a girl until the Yule Ball.

RON
    Because of me! I’m extremely famous. My nose experiments are legendary!

does he tell this joke every time he comes to platform 9 ¾ or is it more of a daily occurance

I think it might be more of the ‘Ron is just the funny sidekick’ thing that CC kept pushing, as it took more influence from the films than the books.
