I have a lot of opinions about Ron Weasley and I will not hesitate to throw hands with the next person to mischaracterize him as an emotionally immature idiot with no depth. Like??? okay so HP is kinda making a comeback and I am angrier than ever. Like legit aside from the fact that the world’s gone haywire this topic makes me genuinely angry and is the reason I don’t talk to my friends about Harry Potter except like one. No one gets this boy. Am sad.
So i’m doing Yule Ball research and in all my 25 years of living I have NEVER SEEN THIS IMAGE BEFORE AHAHAH
and I immediately ran to you all to show it to you so you can all scream “WHATTTT“ in awe and splendor with them because look at how cute they are I can’t handle it.
Okay, there are just so many reasons to love this guy. (and please keep in mind that I don’t ever have celebrity crushes; the closest was Harrison Ford when I was about 4)
First, because this is how I was introduced to him, is his portrayal of Ron. We all know that Ron’s character was given the short end of the stick, to say the least; so many of his good qualities were cut, and his negative ones enhanced and left unexplained. I think if anyone else had played him, there would be even more Ron hate than there already is. But Rupert somehow gave him so much of the heart that they tried to leave out, and that says a lot about him as an actor.
And as an actor, he’s really interesting. In real life, he’s a fairly shy person, but ‘Rupert’ melts away once he’s on screen on stage, and you see the character, and not him. He can play cocky and arrogant so well that you would think he wasn’t acting at all, and that takes skill. I also admire the fact that rather than taking roles that will increase his fame or bank account, he instead chooses ones that will either teach him something, or one he will simply enjoy making for the love of it.
But to be honest, I love him for more than his acting abilities. Or his cute face. Or his delicious forearms. Or his squeezable….*ahem*…yes. I just really love what I’ve seen of his personality. He’s always so kind to fans, and tries to make time for them, even when you can tell he’s busy. His love of animals is a big plus; who can resist a guy with teacup pigs and alpacas? He does charity work, but he’s not showy about it. He has a heart for people, but he doesn’t want or need recognition. His family is very important to him, and he makes time to keep those relationships strong.
He also has such a wide variety of interests! From music, to his choices in literature, and art, he’s always involved with something creative. I think it’s wonderful that he produces his art under another name, and doesn’t rely on his fame to get by.
Really, I could talk about Rupert all day, but it basically boils down to the fact that he’s kind, sweet, funny, quirky, humble, and talented that really makes me take an interest in him.
(It has nothing to do with his nekkid rump. That doesn’t enter into it at all. Nope. Not even a small factor. Can’t even recall what it looks like.)
