What do we have here? Someone wgo hot pissed that his/her most hated character actually has fans, vocal fans. Let's see. I will quote the author of course then I will share my opinion. This “masterpiece” deserves a whole reaction from me.“Ron is not a good characterThis is why many people are at best indifferent towards him.Let me tell you I was indifferent at first, when I was fourteen. Then I saw many characters in this light. I liked Cho, Fleur and Hermiome, ironically I felt that I am like Hermione when I am too insecure to feel like her. This is why I understand Ron's character better than Harry or Hermione.“Ron is simply useless. He does not contribute much to the plot and is not well-developed. If Ron developed as a character, then it was not shown in the books.”He got over his jealousy, he saved Hermione and Harry many times, he shared his family with Harry. Ron had his moments so let's not say that he didn't add to the plot.“Ron was only really comic relief and was only remotely useful at the beginning of the series. His role was to introduce the Wizarding World.”Harry was inexperienced in many ways when it came to the Wizarding World. And it is interesting to see wizard raised Ron clashing with muggle raised Harry and Hermione.“His role could have easily been filled by someone else. That is how irrelevant he actually is in terms of the plot.”Who? By Neville? By Draco? By Dean who was more experienced in muggle culture.Unfortunately, as the series progresses, he becomes increasingly detrimental by causing unnecessary conflict and not doing anything significant to help the main character.Look. Without conflict the series would be boring sorry to say that. We need drama, but they can't admit it. Humans carve conflict and drama. It is why a book or a movie is interesting. Without conflict a sunshine and rainbow book wouldn't be sold.“A note on his supposed geniusYes, Ron should be given credit when due. He is good at chess. This is the only real talent he has and even this talent is not substantially developed or addressed in the series.”Yes I hate that he never used his chess abilities after book one and some quick chess games with Harry. It is Rowling's fault that she didn't do anything with it.“Ron does seem to be at the very least a competent dueller but being good at duelling does not necessarily mean that you are an intelligent person.Ron is simply not a very talented wizard. Even Harry has natural talent in Defence Against the Dark Arts.”So that Harry is talented in DADA makes him smart? Why is that a problem that Ron isn't a “good” dueller (he is better than many average adult wizards in duelling).Ron has no exceptional ability in anything except Chess (which he never makes use of again). Even his Quidditch skills are subpar compared to those of Ginny and Harry. Hermione had to cheat so he could even have his position (which he repaid by hurting her feelings).He doesn't need to be subpar with Harry and Ginny, who both had their natural talent or practiced im secret. And Ron got into the team on his own merits in book 5 and won a match for them but we don't see that because Harry went off with Hermione and Hagrid.“Ron may some natural intelligence (he manages to pass his tests even though he does not study), but he has no interest whatsoever in learning and no natural curiosity, unlike his two friends.”I love that they admit it here than later on mock Ron's unexistent intelligence. He is brilliant but lazy, I think he pays attention in class and absorbs the knowledge or opens the books last minute and reads trough it to memorize something. Let me tell you it is a good ability to have. Hermione spends hours upon hours to memorize books word by word. That is so smart move of her.I had a friend who did the same study method like Hermione. But sadly she didn't understand anything that she learnt. She was like a parrot reciting the lesson word by word. Not a good way to study and learn right? Ron is a practical learner.Many people are being disingenuous by claiming that Ron is actually more intelligent than Hermione is. Such is the level of obsession with victimhoood and selective reading. I am sorry, but Hermione is brighter than her two friends combined. Hermione’s ability to think logically and deeply far surpasses any such capabilities of Ronald Weasley.Unlike my friend yes Hermione understands the text and meaning behind the lessons. And yes she is smarter than her friends, I nevet said that Ron is smarter than Hermione, just that he has a different way of studying.What is worrying is that many fans are so caught up in the Ronald-Weasley-Victim complex that they are, essentially, misinterpreting some of the most basic attributes of characters to suit their own narrative.Ron isn't a victim and I think many of his fans don't treat him as a victim.Ron is not a good personLet me ask another question. Are you a good person or consider yourself a good person? Because I reckon you have your own mistakes like I do too. Nobody is perfect, everyone has their fauls.truth, which I believe has been raised elsewhere, is that Ron either does not know Harry that well or does not care to. Given the amount of time they spend together, I am inclined to believe the latter.After supposedly being friends with Harry for all these years, deep down Ron truly does believe that Harry wants fame and attention and therefore put his name into the Goblet of Fire.I think deeper down Ron knows that Harry doesn't want fame just he had enough that he is always pushed on the sidelines, never noticed and everyone mispronounce his name. I would be pissed too.His supporters argue that it was a natural reaction, but I disagree. Any sensible person who is good friends with Harry (such as Hermione) would have known that, firstly, Harry does not want to be famous and enter into life-threatening situations, and, secondly, it would be impossible for Harry, a rather mediocre wizard when all is taken into consideration, to manipulate the age-line.Sensible here is the key word. Do they think that Ron, insecure, jealous, teenager boy Ron can be sensible? Oh the moster who only can think about himself but not about Harry who yesterday thought how awesome it would be to enter into the tournament. What did he think about how did Harry enter his name? With his Invisibility cloack that is different from other cloacks like that.Hermione Granger was reasonable enough to see that. Ronald Weasley was not. Jealous of the attention Harry was receiving (or perhaps jealous that he could not partake in this particular adventure), he proceeded to act in a very immature manner.And oh he was jealous, so he is a bad friend and immature. Look jealousy is a bad trait but Ron had it in him for three years or going back it came from the Burrow with him. Here is something about why I love Ron he had one of the most natural flaws jealousy. Everyone has it in her/him. You can be jealous for your significant other for cheating on you or jealous of other people having a loving family that you don't have.It says a lot about how friendless and needy Harry was before going to Hogwarts that he tolerates this sort of behaviour from Ron.Harry tolerates Ron? Harry loves Ron like a brother.Why do I think that Harry should have kept his distance from Ronald?A major element of friendship is loyalty. Friends may have disagreements and fallings-out over comparatively small issues, but would you trust a friend who abandons you when you need them most? For some reason (the plot), Harry does, but this is not normal.Many fans of Ron refuse to understand why many people dislike Ron. Many people may have felt neutrally or even positively about Ron, but his betrayal of Harry is the main reason people hate or dislike him.Yeah the two famous betrayals. The first one was already coming from years because Ron was insecure and jealous the tournament was fuel to that fire. I don't like that but it happened. The second one had more into it. They were running around without food without a clear goal, Ron wore the horcrux and he was worried about his family. It is a lot of feelings in a teenager boy who they consider immature and insensible. So of course it blew up like that.There were two main times when Harry needed the support of his two best friends more than ever, but only one decided to abandon Harry each time because of his own insecurities and overall selfishness: Ronald Weasley. I have already discussed the incident in regard to the Triwizard Tournament. However, the main reason that people dislike Ron is not even necessarily that incident, but the time he left Harry and Hermione in the last book.What many people seem not to take into adequate account is that the horcrux does not actually force new emotions upon you. It simply intensifies them. Ronald was the one who chose to focus on his own lack of comfort and insecurities (out of the three of them he places a high level of importance on food) while they were trying to save the Wizarding World.There were more feelings than food like I said and under the surface Ron had a lot of negative feelings that were doubled thanks to that horcrux. And what else to focus on when you are out in the wild without a clear goal.And whatever Harry said to him, he was the one who chose to leave. As others have noted, it is noticeable that only Ron’s behaviour is so negative under the horcrux. Dumbledore seemed to have had a keen insight into everybody’s characters, to be honest, and had realised that Ron has one fundamental flaw that his fans ignore: he is not reliable.Yes he left great but he comes back and saves Harry in the end he was there when he was needed.Ron is not loyal, especially during difficult situations. Rowling herself has noted that it took much longer for Ron to mature than it did for Harry and Hermione and this is evident in the books. He is too immature and self-absorbed to be a good friend to Harry.Okay Harry had a bad life before coming to Hogwarts, he did many adult chores at eleven of course he is more mature. He witnessed Cedric's death and killed Qurriel and a basilisk. Hermione was already mature her being friendless and maybe bullied before Hogwarts ensured that. And Ginny matured faster too, because she was traumatized by the diary. I think Ron matured after the Ministry incident.That line about how Dumbledore knew Ron would always come back always amuses me because it does not sound as inspirational as the boys think, but the fact that Harry thinks this is the standard of friendship to expect is very sad.Then what is the standard of friendship? Sucking each others asses all day, talking about useless stuff and staying together forever. Conflicts, clashes, falling outs happen and you can't always be there to your friend. You have your own issues too and what if both of you have issues at the same time? Who supports who then?Bizarrely, some people claim that Ron is more loyal than Hermione is. This is a joke. Who was it that abandoned Harry during two difficult times? It was Ron.I sense a pattern there, Hermione is a good friend Ron is the Satan. Hermione was more loyal here, I never said othervise. Happy now?Hermione was willing to risk her friendship with Harry to protect him (think of when she shared her suspicions with Professor McGonagall and Harry was furious as usual—he reacts much more harshly towards anything Hermione does than towards Ron’s transgressions, for some reason).Harry lost his broom, then got a new one that he lost again thanks to Hermione. Of course ha was mad at her. He loved flying and playing Quidditch it was his way to feel frer.Apparently, Ron is more loyal because he has been tested. Well, so was Hermione. She could have abandoned Harry during the horcrux-hunt as well. After all, she was enduring the same less-than-perfect living conditions that caused Ron to leave his friend. But she did not.Hermione erased her family's memories, they were safe in Australia so not really. She was worried too but she knew that the Death Eater's won't go to Australia to check on them. Ron's family was in danger.Many people claim that Ron is the kindest and most human member of the trio. He has flaws and is relatable, unlike the other two, apparently. I agree that he has flaws.Most human and relatable yes, kindest not in the slightest.Ron is quite prejudiced in some ways. As I have explained earlier, the Weasley family have many prejudices and Ron is not different in this sense. While he may not have a problem with muggleborn witches and wizards, he does seem to be prejudiced against werewolves and giants.And he isn't alone with his “prejudice” for creatures. He likes Lupin and Hagrid but he is prejudiced for werewolves anr giants good to know.He is certainly prejudiced against Slytherin.Like everyone else in Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Nobody likes the Slytherins like we saw many times. I wouldn't like a person like Malfoy sorry and I am a Slytherin too.Without Ron, Harry would not have been as prejudiced as he is towards Slytherin.It was Hagrid who told Harry about Slytherin's evil ways. Ron came later on. If Harry didn't befriend Ron he still had his grudge for Slytherins. Voldemort came from that house and Malfoy didn't help either.Hermione certainly attempts to encourage Harry to view inter-house relations from a balanced perspective, but Ron tends to serve as fuel for negative emotions and rash judgements.Hermione “I punched Malfoy's face" Granger?You may think that his prejudice towards Slytherin is relatively benign, but he was willing to allow two Slytherins, Draco Malfoy and Gregory Goyle, to die in the Room of Requirement. Malfoy and Goyle were not threatening him, but Ron was happy to let them die.Malfoy and Goyle taunted the trio for years. Malfoy called Hermione mudblood and wished her death. Malfoy nearly killed Katie Bell and Ron indirectly. He let Death Eaters to school ground.Perhaps happy is not the correct word. It seems that to Ron the Slytherins are almost subhuman; he tells Harry to let them die with concerning indifference. Ron is ready to abandon any sense of human compassion and morality towards those he has categorised as evil, making him no better. Harry, in contrast, generally has a sense of right and wrong (which is discarded when he subjects others to the Unforgivable Curses).Yes he should have saved them.So, Ron is viewed by his supporters as the kindest member of the trio. However, this was not the impression I had when I read the books. Ron is always the person who is most likely to immediately come to negative conclusions about others.Remember when he cheered up Lav about her rabbit when Hermione called out Trelawney about her prediction. Or he saving Harry from the Dursleys when he felt bad.He has a certain type of arrogance that allows him to derisively dismiss others, such as Neville Longbottom.I love that people love to nitpick all of his mistakes. He was eleven at the time.As I will discuss in another post, he is very quick to judge others by their appearance and, contrary to the delusions of certain fans, he is patronising and often unfair towards Hermione, Ginny and other female characters.Suffice it to say that Rowling was right when she admitted that the eventual marriage between Hermione and Ron was wish-fulfilment.I agree that Romione isn't perfect but Rowling just added fuel to the Harmony shippers fire when she admitted that. It was her wish-fufilment by the way.Why would Hermione want to be with a man who continually belittles her, does not truly respect her intelligence, is jealous of her achievements, generally has an irritating inferiority-complex and is lazy and content to remain in his comfort-zone while she is hard-working and eager to challenge herself? I need to devote an entire post to debunking some myths surrounding this couple.Okay let me stop them there. Ron praises Hermione many times for her smarts and plans. He respects her. Has an irritating inferiority complex? Great so they think that people who has self esteem issues or inferiority complex are annoying? Then I am annoying to them I guess. Ron is lazy but we see him many times study, practice or running around school with Harry.He remains his comfort zone? He was ready to go into a spider pit when his biggest fear is arachnophobia.Yes he doesn't deserve Hermione and she shouldn't give a damn about lazy Ron. I am sure their next post will be so good like this one.Ron is a bad influence on Harry.I heard this too many times.This is something I noticed in the first book and which greatly annoyed me as I read the rest of the series. Not only does he encourage Harry to behave rashly and harbour prejudices, he is the single worst influence on Harry’s intellectual life. I recall that Harry was actually quite interested in books and reading before he met Ron and he was so interested in his Hogwarts subjects that he stayed up late to read his schoolbooks.Then he met Ron.And he met Hermione too who had an influence on him too. Or now Hermione doesn't matter only Ron? Hermione didn't influence him at all only Ron.And he was so pleased and relieved to finally have a friend that he was willing to imitate Ron’s poor academic habits. In time he came to find reading his school-books boring, which shows how easily influenced Harry can be. He allowed Ron to persuade him to take comparatively easy subjects. Time and time again Ron works to inhibit Harry’s natural curiosity, which is a shame because Harry is not unintelligent: he simply does not put in sufficient effort in part because of his friend’s negative influence and in part because he allows himself to change his interests in order to be accepted.When did he change his interest? I don't remember about this.Ron is the sort of person who never wants to push himself or challenge himself. He has the same flaw for which Slughorn is berated: he likes his comfort. He really does. This is why during a very dangerous time for his friend, Harry Potter, and his muggleborn friend, Hermione Granger, he is preoccupied with the fact that he is not receiving three meals a day. He cares a lot more about his comfort than he does about Harry’s fate and cares a lot more about his temporary comfort than any potential he has to change his situation.Okay why is this releated for his not studying? Hermione is ready to not eat because she sometimes doesn't care. Harry was starved for days. Ron is the friend who likes to eat and likes when his friends eat too. They are still growing, not eating food is important too. Survival rules: have a shelter, have food, have water and have protection. They didn't have food they coulf have starve to death.The truth is that it is difficult for many people to respect Ron because he is lazy. This is not an endearing trait to anybody, except his supporters.Nobody is active and hard working like the author and Ron haters. Some people are lazy, not motivated or active.Ron is more than capable of recognising the problems in his life, but he refuses to put in any effort or implement any plan to improve his lot. He feels that his life is unfair, but he never does anything to change his circumstances.He worked too, but nobody will see it anyway.His elder brothers were also born into the same poor family, but they all worked to achieve their goals. Bill and Percy put in the effort to achieve academic excellence and become Head Boys.Not everyone is an academic okay? Not everyone wants to be the first in ranking and later on he realized he doesn't want to be another Bill or Percy. Why do they compare him to his family? Ron is his own person who learnt how to not attach his self worth or compare himself to his family. He has his talemts.Fred and George, for all their faults, at least put in the hard work required to found their own shop. Even the practical jokes they were playing involved a high level of magical manipulation and sophistication. Ron’s brothers and sister all put in effort into improving their skills in Quidditch.Ron dis improve his Quidditch skill let's not take away that from him.Ron sees glory in the Mirror of Erised but does nothing to work towards it. He only even has his own Chocolate Frog car because he happened to be the sidekick of Harry Potter and thus was involved in the horcrux-hunt (let us disregard the fact that he abandoned Harry during said horcrux-hunt). It was pure chance, because if Voldemort had not attempted to endanger Harry, Ron would have spent the rest of life as an unknown mediocrity even though he wants to be great.Okay this was Ron's problem that he was Harry's sidekick and even the fans and bashers see hik just that, a sidekick. He got his card because he did his fair share on the war.He does not like to do his homework. He simply likes to whine, eat and then feel jealous and annoyed with those who do work hard to achieve what they want (e.g. Hermione, Percy).Did they really read the books or watched the movies too? It seems like they only see the movie version of Ron. And why is that a problem that he is not Percy or he is not Hermione? Not everyone are overachievers.Ron is a very jealous person. He is jealous of his siblings and is jealous of Harry and Hermione. This is why he abandoned Harry during the Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows. He wishes he were as rich and famous as Harry is. It is not wrong to have insecurities, but the way in which you manage those insecurities is important. As I noted, Ron has insecurities, but he does not do anything to improve his life. He then is jealous towards people who are good to him for things that are not their fault. It is not Harry’s fault that he is rich, and anybody who has read the series should know that Harry would trade all his gold in Gringotts for his parents to be with him.You always wish something that you don't have that can be a good goal. He became an Auror than helped out George in the WWW joke shop. I think he got money and fame in the end, he improved his life don't you think?To be fair Ron may have some good traits, although bravery in and of itself is not such a virtue, in my opinion.Then they hate Harry's bravery too I think and Harry's hero complex, if they fail to see why is bravery a good trait. They hate that Neville got braver to stand up to himself ‘because bravery isn't a virtue'.As I have explained, Ronald fails to exhibit the trait of loyalty. All he has is the quality of being a reasonably affable and friendly individual to those he likes. As a friend, he does not improve the character of Harry and instead brings out the worst in Harry. Even Crabbe and Goyle were, for the most part, more loyal to Draco than Ron was to Harry.Really? Crabble and Goyle were Malfoy's yesmen, bodyguards and they had zero smart remarks. Such loyal followers, more like brainless lambs, they were portrayed like that. Malfoy trusted them with his plan when he let in the Death Eaters? No. Really good friends, better than Ron indeed.The worshippers of Ron either claim that he is no worse than the rest of the trio or that he is better.No worshippers, fans and I never said such a thing. I think they are equals as friends.The latter claim is ridiculous, however, I shall address the former. For most of the series, I did not particularly like Harry and I certainly was not a strong fan of his. Harry has several faults which include a tendency towards arrogance, lack of observational skills and significant anger-management issues.The latest is in OoP where he had PTSD his anger came from there. But it is interesting that they hated both Harry and Ron. We have a Hermione worshipper, sorry fan.However, as incomprehensible as this seems to many fans of Ron, Harry is much kinder than Ron is. He can show compassion towards his enemies such as during the death of Professor Snape (when he did not know the truth about Snape). Ron displays a type of cruelty that is never acknowledged by the many people who view him as the victim of the series. Those he looks down on or dislikes, he views as not worthy of basic human decency. It was Harry who decided to save Malfoy and Goyle; Ron was happy to let them die. My point is that whatever flaws Harry has, I have always recognised the fact that he could have been very much worse, in light of his situation. A different boy may have been truly arrogant and cocky like Cormac McLaggen, for example. Harry has flaws, but when you take into account the fact that he has no real family, he has been mistreated by his aunt and uncle since he was a young child, there is an evil blood-supremacist after his life, the fate of his world rests on him and he is only an adolescent, it is fair to say that his flaws are not as egregious as Ron’s are.So Harry's faults can be justified but Ron's can't? Their adolescent excuse can work on Ron and on Draco too. They all were teenagers, still growing up and figuring out themselves.In contrast, Ron has almost every advantage that Harry does not. He has two parents who love him, a normal and carefree childhood and no real responsibilities or duties. Yes, his family is not as wealthy as other families, but they are not actually the poorest family in the world. They wear second-hand clothes and buy their school-books second-hand, but they always have food on the table and the parents do seem to try their best to ensure that their children have the necessities and also extras. He actually has quite a comfortable childhood, which is why he can be so obsessed with his comfort. I can understand that he would feel self-conscious about his relative poverty and feel overshadowed by his elder brothers.This whole post indicates that they don't understand. The children had clothes, food and some secondhand toys, that you can get for cheap. Ron didn't have a wand, that is my biggest issue when all of his brothers and sister got one.The fact that Molly stopped having children after Ginny was born seems to have given him the impression, which is not necessarily false, that she always wanted a daughter and that he was almost a mistake. But apart from his family’s lack of wealth and the feeling of being overlooked in a large family, Ron had a very fortunate childhood, in comparison to Harry’s. He has no real reason to be the way he is apart from an almost childish and immature disposition and a selfish and lazy inclination.Everyone has reasons for being how they are not just the family environment shapes your person but your experiences and behaviour. It is more compicated than your home life. Many experiences shape a person's personality and thinking, not just the parents.Even Hermione, as much as people criticise her, has a lot more compassion than Ron does. Many supporters of Ron do not understand what it is like to be socially awkward and to not have much in common with your peers.This is the total opposite what they said: so Hermiome is socially awkward (a person who has hard time to socialize with others because they are shy, nervous or don't understand other's emotions) but has more compassion and emotional understanding than Ron.She may not be well-versed in all of the social niceties, but she has a kind heart. Hermione is somebody who saw the oppression of house-elves and was moved enough to campaign against it.I don't want to go into this. Rick and Morty had a nice episode about slavery with Meeseeks, it makes you think. House-elves were enslaved but they did their job with care and adoration. Dobby was the first one who wanted payment.Hermione is somebody who tried to help Harry see other perspectives and less spiteful reasons for the behaviour of various individuals. The alleged faults of Hermione Granger pale in comparison to Ron’s. I do not want to wade into the Romione vs. Harmony debate today, so I will discuss Ron’s behaviour towards Hermione on a later date.So Hermione's faults pale? She was bossy, arrogant sometimes and so gooddamn insistent. She harmed Marietta (anyone can justify it I felt sorry for Marietta) and Ron out of spite. Those faults don't pale they are as present as Ron's fault.What should have happened to Ron?Rowling should have removed him from the story at a certain point. As a character, he had long outlived his usefulness, which was to introduce the Wizarding World to Harry.I love that he isn't useful for the plot. Let me say something every character has their usefulness even the most unnecesarry ones.His only remaining purpose was to be Harry’s best friend, which anybody could have done. In fact, he only served as a detriment, causing unnecessary conflict and hindering the progress of the main character.Hindering the main character's progress? Why I am slapping my head.Ron’s role in the series could have been given to another character such as Dean, Seamus or Neville. Alternatively, Harry and Hermione could have continued without him.Not really. Neville could be a fourt member of the trio but he wouldn't be Ron. Neville had his own nice character development. Dean was intended to be a member of the trio but later on removed. And seriously Seamus? He has the closest personality to Ron but he was one of those people who doubted Harry in the fifth book. No his role was his own not sombody elses, we need Ron.Harry and Hermione would be depressed after the third book without Ron or argue more.Rowling could have removed Ron by letting Harry show some self-respect and refuse to accept him after one of his betrayals. She could have also let Harry and Ron simply drift apart as Harry becomes increasingly focussed on training himself and developing his skills.I have nothing to say at this point.In conclusion, Ron is not a well-written character or an individual that most people can like. Some of his supporters need to stop indulging the Ron-The-Victim mentality and realise that Ron is not the persecuted, kind, loyal and compassionate genius that they like to think he is.In conclusion I know that I am not a blind worshipper of a fictional character and this individual thinks that Ron is looked a perfect character or a victim. Let me tell you and them that most of Ron's fans see Ron's flaws and don't think that he is a victim.I am curious about their Romione post, but this was a waste of time. I will check on my grammar errors and logical errors later.Source of quote:https://the45girl.com/ronald-weasley-does-not-deserve-your-admiration/
