Sometimes when we over analyse and like a character, we don’t realise that this “extra thing” has been added for the sake of the plot and not necessarily the character themselves. For example Lupin is great, but despite his weakness of not telling dumbledore, I believe lupin should have latest snapped when Sirius attacked the fat lady and should have told dumbledore about the animagus .  Ron having a go at Hermione for scabbers, like I can understand the sadness for the rat and the annoyance at her never “I’m,-always-right attitude, but anyone who stays petty for so long is unnatural. You know she did not do it on purpose, you can see her baggy eyes, you can see her heart always wanting the best. I know it was done for the sake that scabbers mystery is kept up. Don’t get me started on Peter pettigrew and his betrayal. Sirius’s unnatural behaviour. Severus character is truly s mystery for me and for the plot. The plot always got a way to force the idea to “live eith the dursleys” .I honshone expected one more Weasley to die instead of Sirius (but j j not want anyone to die D:). The lack of Weasley sibling banter and heartfelt moments (yes I wanted moooooreeee). Hogwarts school. I forgot where I’m going with this.  All in all, the plot can be highly demanding, but with the amount of twists and details in the story which were written in such a beautiful way, I’m surprised why there are no more inconsistencies. This series still showcases amazing talent of story-telling.

Actually what Ron did happens ALL the time amongst kids and teens. You can say that about Ron giving her about a month of silent treatment, but when Ron’s single self got a girlfriend, Hermione not only attacked him with birds, and stomped on his self esteem about only liking GOOD Quidditch players knowing full well how insecure Ron is,she stopped talking to him for about four months. How petty is that?

And the rest makes no sense.

More and more, I find myself less impressed with Hermione during the Crookshanks-and-Scabbers incident. Ron repeatedly objected to Crookshanks being around Scabbers. Now, at first, I thought Hermione was being sensible; saying that Crookshanks would be in her dormitory and Scabbers in Ron’s. But then what does she does? Brings the flippin’ cat INTO Ron’s dormitory! 

Ron makes it clear that he believes Crookshanks is after Scabbers, and what does Hermione do when it looks like Crookshanks has actually eaten Scabbers? Suggests that Ron look for his rat under the boys beds. Like, not cool, Hermione. 

Ron even states that he’d happily reconcile with Hermione if she’d just give him a little validation for his point of view. He’s not asking for a full apology, he just wants her to show she understands that his feelings were hurt. That’s hardly petty. 

Also, word of advice to Hermione; yelling ‘we can bring guests!’ at your crush does not count as asking them on a date. And then she gets angry at him when he dates someone who actually shows him obvious affection. Did she seriously expect Ron to just read her mind? 

Ron loves Scabbers

Even though Ron hates having second hand things, and has out right stated that Scabbers is useless, he still is very affectionate of Scabbers. In Prisoner of Azkaban when Ron takes him in to find out why he is looking so bedraggled and the nice black sleek rats were showing off, Ron scoffs at them and defends Scabbers to the shop owner. Despite it all, Ron loves that Scabbers is his pet.

How on earth did Ron Weasley think that spell “sunshine, daisies, butter mellow; turn this stupid, fat rat yellow” would do shit???? Homeboy spends his whole life hearing parents and older siblings do spells and none of them are EVER in English, let alone that long??? In this essay I will

Well, Fred did tell him it was a spell. Ron pointed that out after it didn’t work, and that he suspected it was a joke. Also, the spell might have not worked because Ron wasn’t actually doing the spell on a rat. He was performing it on a human called Peter Pettigrew.
