I loved @vivithefolle‘s “Headcanon that Ron sleeps like a cat. Either curled up in a ball of adorableness or sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory.” so I decided to draw some cat Ron xD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE’S A CUTIIIIIIIIIIE OH MY GOD

Okay so that “sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory” Ron looks absolutely utterly fantastically HOT. Oh my god just look at him. But that peaceful expression though, he’s such an angel hhhh ❤

Also with that other sketch we get to know why Hermione wants Ron to wear tight jeans. Like, damn, that’s a mighty fine butt. He looks just so adorable with that way-too-big sweater, his nose hidden in his sleeves… Aaaah what an adorable cutie!! I want to pet his hair SO BAD. Or to put his head on my lap, THEN pet his hair. Hhhnngg!!

And the curled up Rons!! Oh my god can he get even MORE adorable – the answer is YES, yes he can! Look at him, looking so innocent and pure and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I wanna hug him and squish him and never let go <3<3<3

And awww, sleepy Ron probably falling asleep during Binns’ History of Magic lesson in the upper corner…

All in all, you are a gift and those sketches are a gift and goodness golly your Ron is so adorable I love him ;v;

“What are you doing with all those books anyway?” Ron asked, limping back to his bed.

“Just trying to decide which ones to take with us,” said Hermione. “When we’re looking for the Horcruxes.”

“Oh, of course,” said Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I forgot we’ll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library.”

The Harry Potter fandom is really strange. People are so quick to point out that a Ravenclaw can be a Ravenclaw and get the worst grades, because there are various types of intelligence, which is great. However, the “every kid is smart in their own way” mentality is applied to everyone but Ron Weasley.

Everything about Ron Weasley is forgotten; his strategic abilities, his emotional intelligence, his sharp wit, his common sense, his knowledge of the wizarding world, his willingness to do the heavy-lifting to repair a relationship, his ability to forgive others when they don’t deserve it, his aptitude for emotional magic, etc. Apparently, Ron getting Es instead of Os in his O.W.Ls or being occasionally lazy about his homework, is equivalent to Ron being a “stupid, useless and illiterate boy who isn’t good enough for the Brilliant Hermione.” Despite the fact that Ron enjoys engaging with Hermione instead of ignoring her, despite the fact that he is happy to call her out on her shit and isn’t afraid of challenging her, the fandom believes that he’s not intellectually compatible with Hermione. Seriously, HP fandom?

Let it be known, that according to the Harry Potter fandom, grades and intelligence don’t matter if you want to be a Ravenclaw. Grades and intelligence only matter if you want to be with Hermione Granger.

Dear HP fandom; don’t be hypocrites. I request you to start treating Ron Weasley the way you treat Ravenclaws. 🙂

one of my fav ron moments is when he apparates to the Forest of Dean, saves Harry Potter from drowning, pulls out the sword of Gryffindor from a frozen lake, destroys an extremely powerful horcrux, returns to the trio’s tent with multiple wands he single-handedly took from a gang of snatchers, and later shares precious information regarding the state of the wizarding world with Harry and Hermione (like he’s been doing regularly since he was 11 years old.) but sure, go ahead, rant about he wasn’t ‘valuable’, as if he wasn’t the reason the trio had any idea what was going on for like 100% of the series, considering he was the only one of the three who was brought up as a wizard. :))))

Can you list the Ron moments that the movie missed our changed?… or maybe give a link to a post which already has the list.

Okay, this is going to be done from memory so bear with me. 

Philosopher’s Stone

  • Ron offering to share his food with Harry from the moment they meet.
  • Ron teaching Harry how to play wizard’s chess (this is kind of in the film but not explicitly so I thought I’d include it.)
  • Staying over Christmas with Harry and trying to cheer him up after the mirror incidents (I think they did film a part of this but it was a deleted scene for some reason ??? why ???)
  • RON BEING THE CALM ONE DURING THE DEVIL’S SNARE SCENE NOT HERMIONE (’But there’s no wood!’ ‘Are you a witch or not?’)

Chamber of Secrets

  • Constantly defending Harry from Draco
  • The scene where Draco calls Hermione a mudblood and it was actually Ron who new what the term meant and explained it, not Hermione
  • Visiting Hermione in the hospital wing after she turns herself into a cat and bringing her all her homework that she missed
  • Ron going into a freaking forest full of spiders and tackling his biggest fear. Even though he was shaking the entire time and is so terrified he can’t even speak by the end of it and actually /throws up/ afterwards, he still went and did it because it needed to be done and he wasn’t about to let Harry go alone. (Okay so this was in the films but I really don’t think they actually captured the gravity of it, instead choosing to turn Ron into comic relief… Again.)
  • Being the one to go to the hospital wing so that Hermione will have someone with her so she’s not alone and to explain what happened when she wakes up

Prisoner of Azkaban

  • Actually being really concerned about Scabbers’ health and buying the rat tonic for him
  • Actual background to the Crooksanks v Scabbers business instead of just villainising Ron for the sake of making Hermione seem better
  • When he was literally woken up by Sirius holding a knife over his bed, who, as far as anyone knew then, was a mass murderer??? Why isn’t this talked about more ??
  • ‘YOU ASKED A QUESTION AND SHE KNOWS THE ANSWER, WHY ASK IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE TOLD?’ 
  • Noticing Hermione’s weird af schedule and being the only one to aCTUALLY CARE about where she was going and what she was doing
  • Literally fucking pushing Harry out of the way when they see Sirius in dog form (who they think is The Grim) and consequently getting a broken leg + dragged by his arm into the Whomping Willow
  • Awkwardly patting Hermione on the head after she apologises, instead of that weird hug thing they share in the films
  • Taking on Buckbeak’s appeal and dedicating so much time and effort into his case. Call this boy lazy or apathetic again I dare you.
  • Standing up on a BROKEN LEG to tell Sirius, who, again, was thought to be a MASS MURDERER, that ‘If you want to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too!’ whilst Hermione stood frozen in the corner
  • Making peace with Crookshanks at the end of the book by holding Pigwidgeon up for him to check that he isn’t evil (I love Ron so much)

Goblet of Fire

  • ‘We’ll pick you up on Sunday if you can come, and we’ll still pick you up on Sunday if you can’t’ (or something like that) when talking about the quidditch world cup
  • The background and reasoning behind the big fight with Harry (+the later argument they had where Harry threw the badge @ his head.)
  • The actual insecurity Ron suffered because of the dress robes, not just the comic relief side of it.
  • Helping Harry practice for the second and third tasks practically 24/7 (including letting Harry practice stunning on him!!! #dedication)
  • Getting Krum to sign his autograph + basically all of hIS HUGE CRUSH ON KRUM JFC
  • Just generally being there for Harry after Cedric even when Harry pushes him away

Order of the Phoenix

  • Again, just generally being there for Harry even when Harry is being an ass to him (+ the part where Ron desperately wants to tell him what’s going on but Hermione + all the adults insists that they can’t)
  • RON WEASLEY BECOMING A MOTHERFUCKING PREFECT
  • The year of quidditch which, although being an essential part of the book with the whole Umbridge arc, is not even MENTIONED in the film. Literally, it’s one of the only films that doesn’t feature quidditch yet it’s the book where I’d consider quidditch to be the most important.
  • Anyway, yes, quidditch. Ron getting a new broom and sneaking out to practice so he can try out for the team
  • HERMIONE KISSING HIM ON THE CHEEK FOR LUCK. I SCREAM.
  • Ron making it on the team and having very very very little confidence so he’s… quite terrible the first few matches.
  • The awful ‘Weasley is Our King’ song that Malfoy made and the Slytherins take to singing at. Every. Single. Match.
  • Ron gaining his confidence and destroying the other team at quidditch, during which, neither Harry or Hermione were actually there to witness it. And Ron is so happy and proud but when Harry and Hermione start talking about Grawp, instead of being petty and angry at them, he listens intently and tries to help
  • Always backing up Harry when Hermione is being slightly insufferable towards him and not really understanding of his needs. (e.g when she’s pressuring him to do better at occlumency and Ron tells her to back off)
  • The whole arc where Arthur gets injured and all the Weasleys are sat around the kitchen at Grimmauld place waiting for news + the parts in St Mungos (this was in the film a little but they really didn’t go into the effect it had on the Weasleys. Especially Ron and Ginny)
  • The miraculous plan they all come up with to get Harry into Umbridge’s office (which, admittedly, backfires, but hey. At least they tries) during which Ron plays a pivotal role, not just a struggling character in the background
  • Everything to do with the ministry tbh ??? From battling death eaters to the spell that makes him delirious to the brain almost suffocating him
  • Staying in the hospital wing with Hermione for the rest of the year and the scars all down his arms from where the brain attacked him

Half Blood Prince

  • When Hermione is talking about why girls find Harry attractive and Ron is all like ‘Look at me Hermione! I’m tall too! I have scars too!” 
  • Backing up Harry when he answers Snape’s question about inferi compared to ghosts (”Well what Harry said was the most useful! If I’m going to face an inferi I’m going to be looking for if it’s transparent not asking ‘excuse me are you the imprint of a departed soul?’” or something similar. Get wrecked Snape.)
  • All of the quidditch moments in this book are golden.
  • That moment where Hermione super awkwardly asks Ron to Slughorn’s party and Harry is just in the background like,,, what an interesting plant
  • Ginny antagonising Ron about never having kissed anyone and the subsequent Lavender disaster that followed
  • Everything to do with Lavender tbh. Like, their whole relationship, not just the comic version in the movies
  • Ron’s getting poisoned actually being a really serious thing and all his family showing up at the hospital wing
  • Pretending to be asleep when Lavender comes to visit (Ron Weasley how dare you, your mother raised you better than this)
  • Okay, I really want to make a separate post about this but the whole Luna/Ron friendship in this one is gold
  • I feel like we as a fandom collectively forget this one but Ron and the rest of the DA fighting the death eaters with felix felicis whilst Harry is up the astronomy tower with Dumbledore
  • Holding Hermione at Dumbledore’s funeral ???? Honestly that’s all I need in life
  • RON ‘WE’RE WITH YOU WHATEVER HAPPENS’ WEASLEY VOWING TO ALWAYS BE AT HARRY’S SIDE INSTEAD OF SITTING IN THE BACKGROUND LIKE A STALE POTATO WHILST HARRY AND HERMIONE PLAN

Deathly Hallows

  • Giving Harry the how to charm witches book and actively trying to start a relationship with Hermione
  • Comforting Hermione when she’s upset and not being awkward about it !!!! Character development (I’m seeing a parallel to the head pat in PoA, anyone else?)
  • Standing up to the Minister of Magic at the age of seventeen like. Honestly Ron Weasley is such a badass I love him
  • Literally giving up a life of comfort and security to go and live as a fugitive in order to help Harry
  • Pushing Hermione the fuck out of the way when they’re found by Death Eaters near Charlesbury !!! Like, this boy is so brave and self-sacrificing I’m going to cry
  • Falling asleep holding hands with Hermione @ Grimmauld place
  • The severity of his splinching after the ministry debacle
  • The very real concern for his sister and Harry + Hermione’s apparent apathy that triggers the fight between him and Harry, not some motive entirely brought about by jealousy as the movies suggest
  • Okay, not Ron, but the movies really didn’t capture just how unable Harry and Hermione became without him. They didn’t talk to each other, they didn’t communicate in any way for like 95% of his absence. They were literally unable to function without him I’m so sad.
  • Saving Harry’s life and, importantly, the conversation they had afterwards where Harry reassured him that his insecurities were unfounded. And the hug. Where was my hug,Yates? Where was it?
  • Ron once again assuming his role as the heart of the trio; making Harry laugh, keeping the spirits up, getting them to function again.
  • Malfoy Manor. Just. Malfoy Manor. “NO YOU CAN HAVE ME, TAKE ME!” “HERMIONE! HERMIONE!” Literally being so distressed and worried for Hermione that he OFFERED UP HIS OWN LIFE FOR HERS AND LOST THE ABILITY TO THINK RATIONALLY. CAn we just. 
  • Even despite the mental anguish he’s going through, Ron still manages to come up with a solution for where Dobby should take them
  • Again, despite everything that’s happening around him, Ron does a near perfect imitation of Wormtail’s voice
  • Disarming Bellatrix fucking Lestrange
  • Managing to successfully apparate for the first time ever in a very high pressure situation in order to get Hermione to safety
  • Taking his shoes and socks off to lay on Dobby’s grave
  • Going back to Hogwarts and the reunion with the rest of his family; including Percy, which I really missed from the books
  • Literally like everything that happened during the battle of Hogwarts but especially:
  • “We’ve forgotten someone!” “Who?” “The house elves!” Like, guys, this is such a significant moment for his character and I understand completely why Hermione chooses this moment to kiss him 
  • How wrecked he was after Fred’s death. Like, in the books Ron is actually there to witness it. He sees his brother die. I am Not okay.
  • Hermione having to physically restrain him because he wants to go and get revenge for Fred
  • Ron punching Draco in his slimy little face “And that’s the second time we’ve saved your life tonight you two-faced bastard!”
  • Offering to be the one to go to the shrieking shack ?? ALone ?? He says something like ‘Harry you can’t go un case they see you, wait here with Hermione, and I’ll take the cloak and-” when they all know it could be a suicide mission. I’m.
  • BREAKING VOLDEMORT’S SILENCING SPELL
  • I’m sorry let me just re-iterate: RONALD WEASLEY BROKE A SILENCING SPELL MADE BY ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL WIZARDS TO EVER EXIST
  • Taking out Fenrir Greyback with Neville
  • Being the first to reach Harry after he defeated Voldemort, along with Hermione
  • Just the part where the trio go to Dumbledore’s office because I just. That’s such a nice and well rounded ending I’m going to cry
  • In the epilogue, practically everything about Ron is great but especially: “Don’t worry, it’s me, I’m famous”

In Conclusion

  • I love Ron Weasley so much
  • The films do not do him justice

People who say Hermione needs someone who is her intellectual equal. I mean WTF!!

Hermione never cared for brilliance or excellence. If she did, she would have fallen for a ravenclaw. She loved Ron because she spent lots of time with him, she watched him grow, she understood him, she knew him. She loved him without any particular reason. It was so natural so spontaneous it was as if they were destined to be together. They fought like husband and wife before they even started dating. Hermione wasn’t an over-ambitious bitch. If she was, she’d be a Slytherin. Nor did she cared for smartness or intellect that much. If that was the case she’d be a Ravenclaw. No, she was a Gryffindor. A brave, adventurous, lion hearted Gryffindor who valued friendship and bravery above anything else. And Ron was good at both. He was a good friend. He was brave. He was loyal. And he was just perfect for her.

Foundation of a relationship needs LOVE, trust, respect and understanding. Not IQ.

Besides Ron defeated Mcgonagall at chess at the age of 12.

Got more O.W.Ls than Fred George combined without studying properly.

Could produce a corporeal patronus at the age of 15 when many grown up wizards and witches struggled with it.

Even Tonks a qualified auror was impressed with his skills.

He could cast nonverbal spells easily.

He became an auror after the war.

He was more than enough to stimulate her intellectually. Thank you so much.

I’m sure he was also enough to stimulate her in… other areas 😏

This post went from ‘Ron is amazing and smart’ to ‘Ron is also great in bed’ in about five seconds. 

Reblog if your favorite Weasley kid is Ron

I’m curious to see what the people of tumblr think of the Weasleys.

 George Fred Bill Charlie Ginny Percy 

In fact, Ron is my favorite character ever. There is no character I worship more than him – not Anne in Persuasion, not Elisabeth, Bingley or Jane in Pride and Prejudice, not Marius or Nathalie from La délicatesse, not Jean Valjean, Cosette or Marius from Les Misérables…

Nope. Ron Weasley.

Ron Weasley is my guiding star, my sun at dawn, this sparkling in the fire.

I looooooooove him SO much.

She’s right, you know.

The only circumstance in which that line makes sense.
