Okay but where are the deleted scenes where Ron went and got Harry to deal with all the spiders in their dormitory because you and I both know that happened many, MANY times.

I… actually kinda want this.

And after Aragog, Harry will put up with zero people giving Ron s*** about it.

(I had to double-check before I posted this, by the way. There are zero instances, after the one time Hermione laughed at him in CoS when she first found out, of anyone making fun of Ron’s fear of spiders. And it’s mentioned in all of books 2-7. “Hermione makes fun of Ron’s fear of spiders,” yeah, once, when they were twelve, and she’d just found out, before she knew how much they really scared him.)

Hermione’s actually thirteen by that point in COS, but she does never comment on Ron’s arachnophobia again. 

8. Who do you think was the best father figure towards Harry?

hillnerd:

Ron. 

I mean that. 

He looked after Harry’s well being better than any character- 

Harry’s being starved? He saves Harry and provides him not only with food, but a quick escape to a loving environment. 

Someone threatens Harry’s life? He literally puts his life on the line and stands in front of him.

Harry loss the bones in his arm? He’s putting pajamas on him.

Harry throws up from his scar/nightmare/vision- Ron’s there helping him get better.

Saves his life all the time, makes sure he’s doing ok emotionally, feeds him, tends to him when he’s sick, contantly writing him when they are apart, educates him about things he doesn’t know about, listens to him, believes in him, supports him in the highs and lows etc.

Agree with all of this. Although I always saw Ron as the mother-figure to Harry, and Hermione as the father-figure. Maybe that’s just me, though.

What the world sees Harry Potter as: A somewhat bland protagonist. A little serious, and
without much of a sense of humour. Why didn’t he end up with Hermione? And why
did he keep Ron around?

What Harry actually is: A complete sass-master and sarcastic joker.
Hot-headed and brash, with a fierce protectiveness over the people he cares
about. Treats Hermione as his big sister, and finds her really annoying most of
the time. Wouldn’t be able to function without his best mate and platonic life-partner
Ronald Bilius Weasley. Will probably curse you if you diss Ron. NO-ONE disses his wheezy.

What the world sees Hermione Granger as: Bad-ass female role model, and a literal genius. Incredibly
beautiful, brilliant at all forms of magic, and almost perfect in every way.
Literally the reason why Harry survived everything throughout the series. Why
did she settle for Ron?

What Hermione actually is: A vindictive know-it-all, but has a heart-of-gold
and loves her friends deeply. Is jealous, emotionally insensitive, and has
trouble socialising. While responsible for the book-smarts, she is also prone
to ignoring small but important details that are important in the wider
picture. Will start fist-fights with anyone who dares besmirch the name of the love of her life, Ron Weasley.

What the world sees Ron as: The sidekick and comic-relief of the trio. Eats a
lot, and makes Hermione cry. Makes a lot of dumb jokes and silly faces. Not a
brilliant friend, by most accounts. Emotional range of a teaspoon. How did he
land such a great girl as Hermione?

What Ron actually is: The heart and
soul of the golden trio. Completely irreplaceable to both Harry and
Hermione. A literal cinnamon roll that deserves the world. Quite possibly the
funniest and wittiest person you will ever meet. Has the best and healthiest
emotional range of the trio. A flawed but solidly good individual who made
mistakes, but always came through for his friends in the end. Has the best
character arc of the three protagonists, and a great example of a person rising
above their flaws and self-doubts. Never thought he was good enough for
anything, but eventually developed his own self-confidence. The perfect match for Hermione in every way;
the yin to her yang, the calm to her intensity, the water to her fire, and a
person so wonderful Hermione can’t
believe her luck that she ended up with him.

Although OP and I don’t share the same opinion, I love their passion.~ That’s one of the great things about the internet: fandoms can easily interact and share their opinions with each other. Please check out their blog!

Awww, thank you @i-n-tea-j; I’m glad you like my content! Sorry that we got off on the wrong foot.

Soo.. this person hates Hermione… I mean all the characters have their faults but trying to make her seem vindictive and jealous while Ron is the flawless best friend is too much. After all Ron was the one who abandoned Harry out of jealousy during TGoF while Hermione supported him and left him again TDH.

I’m the person who wrote this and I certainly don’t hate Hermione. I’m not quite sure how acknowledging a characters’ flaws equates to “hating” them.

I never said Ron was flawless; if you re-read my original post, I described him as

“flawed but solidly good individual who made mistakes, but always came through for his friends in the end”. 

Ron does make bad decisions (although him leaving in DH was caused by a part of Voldemort’s soul manipulating him, so I hardly think that counts), but so does Hermione. They’re both characters who have flaws and make mistakes. 

Ron stopped speaking to Harry in GOF because he thought Harry had found a way to be chosen as champion without telling Ron about it. Hermione stopped speaking to Harry (and Ron) in POA because she refused to acknowledge that her cat had eaten Ron’s rat. They’re teenagers; they bicker with each-other, and fall out occasionally. It’s just what happens. 

One of the points I was trying to make in my original post was that Hermione’s flaws and mistakes are largely ignored by most people (which I attribute to the films), whereas Ron’s flaws and mistakes are often made out to be worse than they actually were. 

Ron’s not perfect, but he’s still a good person, and he certainly doesn’t deserve the sheer amount of hate he receives. 

I mean, I personally do think Hermione can be vindictive and jealous, but we’ll have to agree-to-disagree on that. 

Love triangle turned wreck-tangle

The yule ball is almost there, and Cho Chang hasn’t been invited by anyone yet. She’s trying to focus, but can’t stop thinking about her probable options. Should she invite one of them if they didn’t come to her first? Would people think she’s desperate? Did they even want to go with her or was she getting the signs wrong?!

She couldn’t focus on anything without thinking about the ball!

All her friends seemed to think that Cedric was into her now, but despite the cute little smiles he threw at her direction from time to time, he never actually approched her.

image

But Diggory was so cute, and his smile, and those little dimples in his cheeks, and his gorgeous hair! Girls were going crazy about him, and time was running out!

But Harry, on the other hand, was just… Harry. Not only was him The Boy Who Lived, he also was so mysterious in his own way, and so serious all the time, and looked so… alone, sometimes. Something about that messed with Cho’s feelings and brought up the urge to hug him and take care of him.

image

Plus, he was also really cute, with that mess of a hair and those glasses, and those beautiful eyes and all the combo. Girls were also starting to grow an interest in him, and it made Cho feel jealous about it, because it was obvious he fancied her…

I mean, he couldn’t even act normal around her…

No, no, no, too many options as it is, no need another one.

The fact that the books has like 2944383883883 romione and rarry moments that I never got to see on screen is messed up. Where is the scene where Hermione kisses Ron’s cheek? Where is my “Hermione, I love you” scene? Where is that scene where Hermione hugs Ron while He awkwardly pats her on the head? Where is the scene where Hermione kind of asks Ron to the Slughorn party and Harry awkwardly stands there wishing he was anywhere but there. Where is the scene where Ron offers to teach Hermione his whole family tree to protect her? Where is the scene where he offers himself to one of the most dangerous deatheaters just so Hermione survives? Where is the scene where Harry says that he loves Hermione like a sister? Where are the scenes of Ron putting his arm around Hermione to comfort her? Where is the scene where Ron asks Hermione to dance with him because he learned from their fourth year? Where is all the scenes where Ron was the cutest and most supportive friend? Where is the scene where’s Ron Weasley helps Harry to dress? Where is the scene where Ron stands up on his broken leg to protect his best friend? Where’s my Rarry hug after Ron came back? Where are all the scenes where Ron was so freaking charming and so funny that I had to put the book down to take in how much I love this kid? Where is all the scenes where Ron and Harry where being the best friends they’re? Where is the scenes where Ron was the thing that Harry will miss the most? Where is the scenes of Ron being a great emotional support for Harry and knows when to tell Hermione to stop nagging Harry? Where is the scene where Ron notices the “I must not tell lies” scar then telling harry that he needs to report it?

I could go on and on about this f*ckery. Ron, Harry and Hermione deserved better than the movies. JK how could you let Steves and Yates ruin your books??? Can’t believe you even let them ruin your understanding of the characters.
