Tag: ron weasley deserved better

that david yates quote about the seventh movie regarding harry and hermione is so weird to me bc in the books by that point the canon pairings were obvious and it was canon that harry was in love with ginny and that ron and hermione were in love with each other. even if u didnt ship them, it was obvious. why would harry and hermione randomly fall in love because ron left them? and why didnt jkr mind them inventing a love triangle and discussing it like its canon? lol

Eh. A stupid comment about a stupid scene. In the books, there was no dancing scene. There was no such thing as “Harry trying to make Hermione feel better” because newsflash: Harry’s not emotionally receptive to Hermione’s feelings. There was no “almost kiss” , no “it might have been.” There was only “We are siblings and we both love Ron Weasley.” If the filmmakers didn’t have a boner for H*rmione, they would’ve just scrapped the dancing scene and made room for Dudley’s redemption, but they didn’t because…fanservice.

They were stupid enough to believe that something would happen between Harry and Hermione and made a build-up to a possible Har/mione endgame. Obviously, the delusional shippers/movie fans got their hopes high, so they had to give them something. (A cringey dancing scene wasn’t enough, apparently. Harry and Hermione had to each other’s faces as well, while Ron and Hermione were only allowed to get a badly staged kiss.)

Don’t even get me started on J.K Rowling. She’s so gullible. She completely forgot what she wrote in the books and got influenced by the filmmakers’ H*rmione agenda. They gave Romione’s dance to H*rmione, and the fact that JKR approved of this is embarrassing and unforgivable. Lmao, fuck them all.

The reason why I hate the Harmione pairing so much is because thanks to it, we were robbed of Rupert Grint’s amazing acting, oh and also robbed of an adaptation of those goddamn books.

All we got was Kloves’ high-budget wanking fantasy.

I’ll never forgive Kloves for his BS and Rowling for allowing it to happen. If I was her I wouldnt have stood for it. I would have found someone else to do it, or did it myself.

Not only was all the H*rmione baiting rude to people who actually liked the book characters, but it was rude to people who liked the H*rmione ship too. It could never happen due to the films having to roughly follow the canon-plot, but the film-makers inserted H*rmione stuff nonetheless. It built-up the idea that the two could get together, even though that could never happen. Putting it in the films preventing H*rmione shippers from enjoying it in an AU capacity, and made them hope that it was possible when the film-makers knew they could never follow through on it. 

I’ll never be over the fact that Rupert Grint basically got sidelined for an entire decade simply because the production higher-ups had an agenda against Ron and insisted on inserting build-up to a pairing that was never going to have a conclusion. 

Seriously, I never seen such fragrant under-use of brilliant acting talent as what happened with Rupert Grint in the HP films (especially considering the amazing character that Rupert wanted to do his best to adapt). It will forever be my biggest stumbling block to enjoying the HP film series. 

It’s like the film-makers were purposely dangling Rupert in front of us, going “oooh, you like this actor? You like the character that the actor really wants to portray well? You want a healthy, well-rounded character who shows someone can learn from their mistakes and be amazing despite everyone telling them they were useless? You want to see that- WELL, SCREW YOU ALL, YOU CAN’T HAVE IT!”

Rupert deserved better, and so did Ron.

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: wtf did the fictional character ronald bilius weasley do to piss off steve kloves, david yates, michael goldenberg, chris columbus, and alfonso cuarón so much that they basically made the entire movie series into one big  anti ron/pro harmione event? they completely erased any importance ron had, gave all his good lines to hermione and other characters, forced him into the role of comic relief, and tried so hard to force harmione to be canon, this was a huge disservice to ron and the rest of trio, but it was also a big ‘fuck you my version is bettter’ to jk fucking rowling. they need to stay a thousand feet away from ronald bilius weasley for the rest of their life, i swear to god-

The Fandom Effect

The Fandom Effect: a piece of information about Harry Potter that everyone thinks it’s canon after tons of fanfictions/fanarts but when they read the books again it’s actually not.

What are the best examples?

Lucius Malfoy does NOT have long hair *le gasp*

Ooooohoooohoohoho yes let’s talk about this.

– Remus never canonically had scars on his face. 

– Daphne Greengrass doesn’t actually get a single line in the series let alone the personality of being the ‘ice queen’.

– SIRIUS BLACK NEVER ONCE DATED A FEMALE PERSON, OR ANY PERSON. Yes, there were several girls giggling as they watched the Marauders but I have absolutely no idea where the characterization of Sirius being a ladies’ man even came from. Or a guys’ man. Or anyone’s man. 

– Remus wasn’t as smart as James and Sirius. He admits right in the Shrieking Shack that James and Sirius were smarter than he was when it came to the inventions/becoming Animagi so the characterization of Remus getting all As in his classes as the other Marauders scraped by is wrong.

– Regulus Black could have actually been an asshole. Like the fandom came together in this wonderful agreement that he was going to be this innocent kid, too afraid of his parents’ abuse, and that Sirius protected him up until the point he ran away, at which point Regulus faced the abuse alone and was forced into becoming a Death Eater because nobody else was around to protect him. I love that characterization with a heart and there’s nothing disproving it but there’s also nothing proving it. Reg could have been a complete asshole who wanted to kill Muggles before he realized the error of his ways.

– Lily wasn’t a fusion of Hermione and Ginny

– Bellatrix was ten years older than Sirius

– Luna was odd but not a complete hippie who smoked one too many, she said plenty of things that made sense, she also never talked in riddles??? Not sure where that characterization came from

– The House of Potter was never a Noble and Most Ancient House. James and Lily were only rich because of Fleamont’s hair potion. I love Powerful!Harry fics to death but the Potters were not part of the Sacred 28.

– And as far as fanart goes, don’t even get me started on Lily’s hair being shoulder-length, Ginny have orange hair like the rest of the Weasleys, Petunia being blonde, Neville being blonde, Luna having dirty-blonde hair, Harry being incredibly thin due to the abuse, Ron having scars on his arms due to the brains, Hermione only getting the Mudblood scar in the movies, Bellatrix looking identical to Andromeda which means sheprobably didn’t have the crazy Bride of Frankenstein hair, Voldemort having red eyes, Ron being tall, etc.

– draco Malfoy isn’t ‘just behind hermione’ in classes. All we know was fact is he’s not as smart as her.

– Hermione never calls Ron Ronald

-Ron isn’t dumb as a rock. He doesn’t only pass his classes because Hermione fixes his work for him. He scores nearly the same on his OWL exams as Harry does, passes the same number of OWLs as Harry, and had no help during those exams because *they’re ministry administered examinations*.

-Pettigrew isn’t basically a squib. He’s a strong and intelligent enough wizard to become an animagus at 15. Whether he had help or not doesn’t matter, he still completed the transformation, which no one can do for him. He also isn’t dumb as a rock. He successfully played traitor/spy in the first Voldemort war without being caught, then pulled off faking his death while framing another wizard, and managed to keep up the pretense for 12 years. He found wraith-voldemort on his own, and cared for the baby-homunculous for a year, alone. He also completed the rebirth ritual, with guidance from voldemort for the prep, most likely, but the actual ritual was all him.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) dir. Mike Newell

IDK how Kloves can claim he’s read the books and write this bullshit dialogue.

Right? Cuz Ron would have written.

And I already headcanon that when Mr. Weasley put that phone in the Burrow, Ron and Hermione spent long hours on the phone until she came to stay with them.for the summer.

Ron NEVER writes Hermione. She just showed up at the burrow unannounced that summer and they were like “We just HAPPEN to have an extra ticket to the Quidditch world cup, care to join us?”

Lmbo haha that conflicts with my “he asked her shyly” headcanon lol

It conflicts with the books too, but Kloves wouldn’t know that seeing as he never read them

Facts, truths, and accuracy.

You both took the words right out of my mouth. Did Kloves really think that Ron wouldn’t want to talk to his best friend and crush as much as possible during the only time of the year he didn’t get to see her?

“Hermione and Belle are like perfect head and heart girls, they have both. They’re super smart but have this incredible empathy and compassion and ability to see, kind of, beyond things and be non-judgemental.”

Now it’s clear, Emma. You never quite understood your character.

Hermione, non-judgemental? She probably haven’t heard the word at all.

Where was Hermione’s empathy and compassion when Lavender lost her pet rabbit? Oh, I remember, that scene got deleted in the movies!

Who’s responsible to this all? Of course the good ol’ Steve Kloves. Sometimes even professional writers forget that super humans with no flaws are not believable.

Emma really needs to re-read the books again…. 

You can tell how badly she fell for Kloves’ distorted versions of the characters. 

I think calling Steve Kloves ‘a professional writer’ is actually insulting to writers. Kloves might have done other good work, but his ‘adaptation’ of the HP series was basically just a H*rmione fanfiction with an almost-flawless Hermione, a generic protagonist Harry, and comedic sidekick Ron. Shame on Kloves. 

Kloves frankly hijacked the series from JKR and that’s the hill I’m gonna die on.

He has no talent nor writing ability, he’s just good at picking a better writer then trying to make THEIR story fit HIS perception of what the story is.

I think that the HP series would look different, had Rowling not been so taken with Kloves’ Hermione-worship. Perhaps Hermione’s jealousy of Harry in HBP would be amped up. Perhaps Ron’s behaviour during the Horcrux Hunt would be described differently, with less “complaining about food” and more “sick, and out of mind with worry because Ginny is held hostage at Hogwarts”.

All in all… without Steve Kloves, I think the Harry Potter books would look much, much better.

Agreed. 

(Maybe there’s some reality where Kloves never went near HP, and Rowling didn’t get influenced by his way of thinking. I hope so. Lucky reality.)

A quick heads-up for Steve Kloves…

Characters it would make sense to have fall asleep in the library whilst researching for the second task in the GOF film:

  • Hermione Granger. Works herself way too hard, and stays in the library a lot anyway. Has a tendency to forget all that’s going on around her when she’s studying. It wouldn’t surprise me if she lost sleep from reading textbooks til the early hours. 
  • Harry Potter. Is stressed out from the Triwizard Tournament, and finds studying tiring anyway. Is probably losing sleep over what could happen to him in the third task

Characters that it doesn’t make any sense to have fall asleep in the library whilst researching for the second task in the GOF film:

  • Ron Weasley. Is super-supportive of his best friends, and wants to help Harry out with his research for the second task. Is probably still beating himself up about not believing Harry at first about not putting his name in the goblet of fire. While Ron doesn’t enjoy studying for long periods, his friends’ well-being is a high priority for him, and he wants them to be okay. Knows when to take a break from studying and keep himself alert. You’d have to be extraordinarily ignorant of Ron’s character to ever think he’d fall asleep whilst researching a way to keep Harry alive.

  “Autumn seemed to arrive suddenly that year. The morning of the first of September was crisp and golden as an apple, and as the little family bobbed across the rumbling road towards the great sooty station, the fumes of car exhausts and the breath of pedestrians sparkled like cobwebs in the cold air. Two large caged rattled on top of the laden trolleys the parents were pushing; the owls inside them hooted indignantly, and the redheaded girl trailed tearfully behind her brothers, clutching her father’s arm.”  – Epilogue: Nineteen Years Later, Chapter 37, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Why is Ron cut out of the last shot? I know he’s in the one above, but still…

what she says: i’m fine

what she means: why do jk rowling and the pottermore staff think ron’s only talents are eating sweets and supporting the chudley cannons? have they suddenly been struck with amnesia so severe that they’ve forgotten the events in all seven books that lead to everything his character is? or have they been exposed to the movies for too long? do they honestly think that ron is just there for comic relief? just there to be ‘one of harry’s two best friends’, eating sweets and supporting the chudley cannons? why is he treated so unfairly by the very people that are supposed to understand his character best? does the staff at pottermore realise how many people relate so very deeply to ron and all that he represents? and that, by reducing his character to nothing more than ‘eating sweets and supporting the chudley cannons’ they take away that relatability, as well as indirectly offending the thousands that identify strongly with ron’s personality and storyline? what are they doing? why are they doing it? will ron weasley ever get the appreciation he deserves? when will this injustice end?
