Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Rupert Grint as a young Ron

Rowling first introduces Ron with his family in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (1997). Harry is lost at King's Cross railway station with no instructions as to how to board the train to take him to his wizarding school, Hogwarts. The only lead he has is that it departs from "Platform 9¾," which he cannot find. Luckily, he overhears a family, the Weasleys, mention the word "Muggle", which is the wizarding term for a non-magic person. Harry seeks their help and they guide him through the barrier of Platform 9¾ into the wizarding world. Ron and Harry share a compartment on the Hogwarts Express, and they begin their friendship: Ron fascinated with the famous Harry, and Harry fascinated with the ordinary wizard Ron. It is here that they both meet Hermione Granger as well, who they initially dislike but who later becomes their close friend after they save each other during a dangerous encounter with a mountain troll.[1] Ron and Harry share the same classes throughout the series, and generally have similar academic successes and disappointments. Ron plays a vital part in the quest to save the Philosopher's stone. His strategy at Wizard's Chess allows Hermione and Harry to proceed safely through a dangerous life-size, animated chess game. During the game, Ron, who plays as a knight, allows his piece to be sacrificed and is subsequently knocked unconscious when he is captured by the opposing queen. His friends proceed on to save the Stone.[2] At the Leaving Feast, the last dinner of the school year, Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' Headmaster, awards Ron fifty House points to Gryffindor for "the best-played game of chess Hogwarts has seen in many years." These last-minute points help support Gryffindor's win of the House Cup.[3] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

During the summer, Ron attempts to write to Harry several times. He receives no reply because Dobby the house elf is stopping Harry's wizard mail. Ron becomes so concerned that he convinces his brothers Fred and George to fly their father's enchanted Ford Anglia car to Harry's home at his aunt and uncle's house.[4] Harry spends the next month at the Weasleys' home, the Burrow. While attempting to depart from King's Cross station, Harry and Ron find themselves unable to enter the barrier to access Platform 9¾, because Dobby has sealed it off to prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts. With Harry, Ron conceives the idea of taking the flying Ford Anglia to Hogwarts. The plan is successful, but the Anglia loses power at the end of the journey and crashes into the Whomping Willow. Ron and Harry survive the impact, but the car drives itself off into the Forbidden Forest, a forest at the edge of the Hogwarts grounds in which student access is prohibited.

Later in the novel, Ron, Harry, and Hermione discover that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened by the Heir of Slytherin, and the dangerous Basilisk released. Suspecting their old enemy Draco Malfoy, Ron and Harry transform themselves using Polyjuice Potion to resemble Malfoy's close associates Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle, so that they can spy on him, though they learn he knows nothing of the Chamber.[5] During the hunt to find the Heir of Slytherin, Rowling introduces Tom Marvolo Riddle when Harry discovers the name on Riddle's diary. Ron is responsible for providing the first clue to his identity, recalling that he saw the name "T. M. Riddle" on a trophy inscribed "For Special Services To The School".[6] Able to interact with Riddle through this diary even though he lived fifty years prior to the action of the story, Harry tells Ron and Hermione that their friend and Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid must be the Heir to Slytherin. When Hermione is petrified by the Basilisk, the monstrous creature inhabiting the Chamber, Ron and Harry must work together without her. Ron is forced to come face-to-face with his biggest fear, spiders, in the Forbidden Forest, when the two learn that Hagrid is not the Heir of Slytherin. An Acromantula (giant spider) Aragog, nearly eats the two of them, but the Ford Anglia returns from the Forbidden Forest and rescues the pair. [7] Ron and Harry then discover the entrance into the Chamber, and enter it in the hopes of saving Ginny Weasley, Ron's sister, who had been kidnapped and kept in the Chamber. Due to an accident with Ron's wand, the Chamber Entrance's ceiling collapses, trapping Ron on one side and Harry on the other. Harry goes on to rescue Ginny and defeat the "memory of" Tom Riddle, a younger version of Harry's nemesis Lord Voldemort. Ron and Harry are rewarded Special Awards for Services to the School because of their help finding the Chamber of Secrets.[8] Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the main setting of the Harry Potter series of novels by J.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (1999), Ron's role is minor compared to his in Chamber of Secrets, and Hermione's role, which was more sidelined in Chamber of Secrets, is larger. However, Ron's rat, Scabbers, whom Rowling introduced in Philosopher's Stone, goes missing; he blames Hermione's new cat Crookshanks, and the two have a falling out.[9] They eventually make up when Hermione has a nervous breakdown from taking too many classes. Meanwhile, Buckbeak, a hippogriff owned by Hagrid, has been put on trial for allegedly injuring Draco Malfoy, though in reality Malfoy feigned his pain as a result of his family's hatred for half-breeds like Hagrid, who is half-giant. As compensation, Ron offers to help with the preparation of Buckbeak's defence for Hagrid. Harry, Ron and Hermione go to see Hagrid on the execution day where they discover Scabbers hiding out in Hagrid's hut.[10] As they leave, Scabbers bites Ron and runs away. He chases Scabbers to the Whomping Willow where he is grabbed by a large black dog and dragged into a tunnel hidden below the tree.[11] Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third novel in the Harry Potter series written by J.

Harry and Hermione follow the tunnel, which leads to the Shrieking Shack. The dog is actually the animal form of Sirius Black (an Animagus), Harry's godfather and an escaped convict from the wizard prison Azkaban. Throughout the book, Harry has vowed to kill Black for supposedly turning Harry's parents, James and Lily Potter, over to Voldemort. The school's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin arrives just after Harry and Hermione. Along with Black, Lupin casts a spell on Scabbers, who also turns out to be an Animagus by the name of Peter Pettigrew. Pettigrew was Black's, Lupin's, and James Potter's school friend, thought to have been murdered by Black.[11] Hiding his death by transforming into a rat, Pettigrew reveals nothing, but Sirius and Lupin piece together that he has been a servant of Voldemort, and it was he who divulged the secret whereabouts of Harry's parents, leading to their murder. Initially, Ron does not believe Sirius and refuses to turn over Scabbers to him, but he is disgusted when he learns his rat's true identity. Unfortunately, Scabbers escapes when the main characters lead him out of the Whomping Willow for execution.[12] Ron, injured by the bite Black gave him as a dog, is taken to the hospital wing, and is not part of the adventure Harry and Hermione have as they travel back in time to save Sirius and Buckbeak.[13] At the end of the novel, Sirius sends Ron an excitable little owl whom Ginny names Pigwidgeon, but whom Ron refers to as "Pig".[14] Sirius Black is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2000), the Weasleys invite Harry and Hermione to the Quidditch World Cup. Ron is in awe at his favourite Quidditch player, the famous Viktor Krum.[15] Ron is even more excited when Krum, still a student at the Durmstrang wizarding school, comes to Hogwarts to take part in the Triwizard Tournament, a magical wizarding tournament uniting the top three magic schools in Europe.[16] When an underage Harry is mysteriously chosen as a Tournament champion, Ron and Harry have a falling out and don't speak for nearly a month.[17] Ron believes Harry somehow cheated to enter his name into the tournament without telling him. Whenever they do speak, it is usually to insult or threaten one other. Ron and Harry reconcile shortly after Harry successfully gets by a fire-breathing dragon in the first task; Ron realises how dangerous the Tournament is and believes that Harry didn't enter himself, although Hermione believes that Ron was simply jealous of Harry's overwhelming fame.[18] At Christmas time, the Triwizard Tournament's tradition is to host a Yule Ball. Ron and Harry, fail to secure dates, and Ron tells Hermione that she is "a girl" and could go with one of them. Hermione is outraged at Ron's supposition that she would not have secured her own date and refuses to even divulge the identity of her date. Ron continues to profess his disbelief that she really has a date, but continually pesters her regarding who it will be. At the last minute; Harry saves the day by getting Parvati Patil and her sister Padma to agree to come with the duo, although Padma seems less than pleased at Ron's surly attitude and shabby dress. Ron becomes overcome with jealousy when he sees Hermione, unexpectedly attractive, having the time of her life with his former idol, the famous Quidditch player Viktor Krum. When Hermione comes over to Ron and Harry for a friendly chat, Ron loses control and accuses her of "fraternising with the enemy" and giving away Harry's Triwizard secrets, shocking and appalling her. At evening's end, the two have a heated row, in which Hermione tells Ron he should have asked her before Krum, rather than simply hoping to secure her by default. [19] While Harry, having walked in on the pair's argument, understands that Ron's jealously is a result of Ron's developing feelings for Hermione, Ron remains either in denial or oblivious to this fact. However, Ron's jealousy over Krum is countered by Hermione's dislike of Fleur Delacour (of the Beauxbatons Academy and a Triwizard competitor), on whom Ron has an obvious crush, indicating a possible mutual attraction between Harry's best friends.[20] In the Second Task of the Tournament, Ron is the person selected for Harry to rescue from the depths of the Hogwarts lake, as he is the one whom Harry would most miss. Harry successfully saves him, on top of saving Fleur's captive for her and staying to make sure the other two captives are freed as well.[21] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film) or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (video game) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth novel in the Harry Potter series written by J.K.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2003), Ron is appointed a Gryffindor prefect, much to the surprise of himself and everyone else, especially Hermione, the other new prefect.[22] His brother, Percy, now distant and disconnected from the family, sends Ron an owl congratulating him and advising him to "sever ties" with Harry and side himself instead with Professor Umbridge, the abominable new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts; the letter angers Ron.[23] Ron explicitly shows his support and loyalty for Harry when his classmates imply Harry is lying about the return of Voldemort, sometimes using his power as prefect to threaten them into silence.[24] Though they spend their usual amount of time bickering, Ron and Hermione present a united front endorsing Harry. Ron supports Hermione's suggestion of Harry teaching students practical Defence Against the Dark Arts, which Umbridge, using the Ministry of Magic to slowly take over the Dumbledore-run school, has all but banned. He helps to found the secret students' group called Dumbledore's Army.[24] At the climax of the novel, Ron battles the Death Eaters alongside Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom at the Department of Mysteries. He is injured in the fight, but makes a full recovery by the end of the novel. It has been suggested that Inquisitorial Squad be merged into this article or section. ...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005), Ron receives fair grades on his O.W.L. examinations. He passes seven subjects and only fails History of Magic and Divination, just as Harry does, but he receives no top scores of "Outstanding" like Harry (who received one) or Hermione (who received ten).[25] Ron, who has grown taller over the summer, attracts the attention of Lavender Brown. Harry, the new Quidditch Captain, picks Ron as Keeper for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, over Cormac McLaggen, who is supposedly as good as Ron, but has difficulty with teamwork and following orders.[26] Upon learning Hermione most likely had kissed Viktor Krum, Ron's Quidditch performance increasingly grows worse, thrown off by jealousy of his former idol and causing him to be unkind to Hermione. This low self-esteem is not helped much by his younger sister, Ginny Weasley, who throws in the fact that of those in the group, Ron is the only one who has never had his first kiss. To bolster Ron's confidence, Harry pretends to give him Felix Felicis, a potion which makes the drinker lucky; believing he has actually taken it, Ron performs admirably and Gryffindor wins the match. However, this leads to a major row between Ron and Hermione: Hermione accuses Harry of helping Ron cheat, while Ron berates Hermione for having no faith in his abilities. At a post-game celebration, Ron kisses Lavender Brown (though Ginny describes it as "eating her face"). Hermione, jealous and seeking retaliation, takes Cormac McLaggen as her date to new Potions professor Horace Slughorn's Christmas party, but he proves to be an egomaniac.[27] After Christmas, Hermione continues to ignore Ron, stopping only to give him disdainful looks and occasional snide remarks. By now, Ron is visibly discontent with his relationship with Lavender.[28] Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, released on July 16, 2005, is the sixth of seven novels in J.K.

After being cured by Slughorn, he then consumes poisoned mead (courtesy of Draco Malfoy, and actually intended for Dumbledore). Harry saves his life by forcing a bezoar, a poison antidote, into his mouth, and Ron is transferred to the hospital wing. A panic-stricken Hermione arrives, forgetting her past anger. While sitting by his bed, Hermione, Harry, Ginny and the twins hear Ron mutter Hermione's name while half-unconscious. Conversely, Ron feigns sleep when Lavender visits him.

Initially, Ron does not support Harry's belief that Draco Malfoy is a Death Eater, a follower of Voldemort, but later is convinced. Before leaving Hogwarts with Dumbledore to recover a Horcrux, a piece of Voldemort's soul stored in an object, which makes him immortal, Harry arranges for Ron, Hermione, and Ginny—together with any of Dumbledore's Army they can summon—to keep a close watch on Malfoy and Snape. Harry also provides them with the remains of his vial of Felix Felicis, to aid them in the effort.[31] Despite the D.A.'s watch, Malfoy provides the Death Eaters entrance into Hogwarts, and a battle ensues. Thanks to Felix Felicis, Ron, Hermione and Ginny are unharmed by the Death Eater's hexes during the battle.[32] Snape kills Dumbledore during the battle when Malfoy proves that he is unable to.[33] During his funeral, Ron comforts a weeping Hermione.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007), Ron agrees to go with Harry and Hermione on the quest to destroy all of Voldemort's horcruxes. After his disastrous relationship with Lavender Brown, Ron seems to have finally recognized his feelings for Hermione and seems to be working on acting on them. “HP7” redirects here. ... The year 2007 in literature involves some significant new books. ...


Worried that the Ministry, now taken over by Voldemort will learn he is with Potter on a quest, Ron dresses the family ghoul up in pajamas and spreads the story he is ill with "spattergroit," a type of highly contagious magical illness. Ron disguses himself as Reginald Cattermole as the trio attempts to find the locket Horcrux in the possession of Dolores Umbridge.


Harry decides he wants someone to wear the Horcrux at all time, fearing it might be lost or stolen. This has a much more profound effect on Ron than it seems to have on Hermione or Harry. Ron ends up lashing out in frustration at the lack of comforts and a concrete plan, eventually leaving his friends behind. Distressed over his absence, Harry and Hermione do not even mention his name during the time that he is gone. However, when they finally mention his name, Ron, who had immediately regretted his decision to leave but was captured by Snatchers and then could not return due to Hermione's anti-Death Eater enchantments, was lead to Harry's location by unknown magic within the Deluminator he inherited from Albus Dumbledore. Ron dramatically returns by saving Harry from drowning when Harry is attempting to recover Godric Gryffindor's sword from an icy pool. Harry, a sudden believer in the fate created by his return, immediately forgives Ron and insists it must be Ron who uses the sword to destroy Slytherin's locket. However, the portion of Voldemort's soul inside it plays on Ron's insecurities by revealing that he thinks his mother does not love him (or that he is "least loved by a mother who wanted a daughter"), then by showing him a Harry who tells him that he was happier without him and a Hermione that does not return his affections and is involved instead with Harry. Ron breaks through the spell and destroys the locket, but is visibly shaken until Harry tells him that he thinks of Hermione as a sister and a friend, nothing more. However, Hermione, furious at Ron for his apparent refusal to return, treats Ron coldly and refuses to accept his repeated apologies.


The trio are eventually captured by Death Eaters and Hermione is tortured via the Cruciatus curse by Bellatrix Lestrange for information. This sends Ron into a panic, and continually screams and fights with all his effort to save her, despite Harry's instruction that he calm down and think of a better plan. Eventually, the trio returns to Hogwarts, hoping to find the last unknown Horcrux shown in Harry's vision. Having lost the Sword of Gryffindor to Griphook the Goblin, Ron gets an idea to procure more Basilisk fangs and manages to speak enough Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets, where Hermione destroys the Horcrux in Helga Hufflepuff's cup. He begins to worry about the fate of Hogwarts' elves, which prompts Hermione to consummate the mutual attraction in a kiss. He also takes part in the battle, witnessing the death of his brother Fred, and teams up with Neville Longbottom to defeat Fenrir Greyback. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a fictional school of magic that is the main setting of the Harry Potter novels by J. K. Rowling. ...


Nineteen Years Later

As seen in the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Ron and Hermione marry sometime after the battle and have two children - Rose, who they are sending off to her first year at Hogwarts, and a younger son named Hugo. We also see that Ron has passed a test in Muggle driving, despite Hermione's apparent belief that he could not do so without Confunding the examiner. However, Ron secretly reveals to Harry he actually did Confund the examiner. “HP7” redirects here. ...


Ron and Harry work for the Ministry of Magic as Aurors. They have revolutionized the Auror Department, and Harry is now the department head. Hermione also works for the Ministry and has attained a high position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. All have helped revamp the Ministry, and it is far different from the one that existed before.[35] Before becoming an Auror, Ron joined George at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, which became a very lucrative business.[36] Fred and George Weasley (both born April 1, 1978)[1][2] are fictional characters in the Harry Potter series of novels, created by J. K. Rowling. ... Weasleys Wizard Wheezes is a fictional business in the Harry Potter book series. ...


Attributes

Appearance

Rowling introduces Ron as "tall, thin and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose."[1] Ron has the trademark red hair of the Weasleys and is indeed one of Harry's tallest schoolmates, even outgrowing some of his older brothers. J.K. Rowling states in the novels that Ron has freckles, but Rupert Grint, the actor who plays Ron, has none. Rowling has also stated that Ron has blue eyes.


Personality

Generally speaking, Ron fits many of the stereotypes expected of the sidekick: He's a comical character often called upon to lighten the mood, is immensely loyal to the hero, and lacks much of the talent Harry possesses, at least in terms of magical power. Although smart (as evidenced by his innate chess-playing ability and considerable wit) he is a fairly average student, and is often too lazy to bother with his studies, a habit enabled by Hermione's perfectionist need to do even other people's work for them. He is sarcastic, passionate, hot-headed and often wears his heart on his sleeve (excepting in manners of romance.) With Harry and Hermione, Ron tends to use his sarcasm to bring his friends back to reality when they are formulating far-fetched concepts; for example, when Harry and Hermione hypothesize over Tom Riddle's motives for naming Hagrid as the culprit who opened the titular chamber and attempt to find elaborate reasons for the latter's innocence, Ron comments, "how many monsters do you think this place can hold?"[37] Tom Marvolo Riddle is a fictional character in the Harry Potter series of novels by J. K. Rowling. ...


There is a highly ambitious side to Ron, and he wants dearly to be popular and successful, due mainly to feelings of being overshadowed by his older brothers and best friend. Despite great loyalty to his family, he occasionally shows signs of being ashamed of their economic situation. This has occasionally manifested itself into fights with Harry out of jealousy, but these issues tend to pass quickly.


Like many of the boisterous Weasley family, Ron has a tendency to argue. This trait is never so present as it is in his relationship with Hermione Granger where bickering is a staple of their relationship, and is often how they best communicate. He seems to show surprise when some, such as Harry, express annoyance at their arguing as neither he nor Hermione appear to think it's a big deal. In their arguments, while Hermione's tone tends to be patronizing, Ron is more often than not bitingly sarcastic. Hermione Jean Granger is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. ...


Magic and skill

Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Ron inherits Charlie Weasley's old, chipped wand, which is made out of ash and has a unicorn hair sticking out of the end. He holds the wand together with Spellotape after nearly breaking it in half at the start of Chamber of Secrets, but it malfunctions dreadfully after this, backfiring spells, making strange noises, and emitting objects out from the wrong end. It eventually exploded. Ron's new wand is fourteen inches, willow and unicorn hair. He receives this new wand before the start of his third year at Hogwarts. In the movies he is portrayed as probably the least intelligent of the main trio, although in the books he seems to be as smart as Harry. He has also shown signs of incredible tactical ability, as evidenced by his skill of Wizard's Chess (which is played exactly like normal chess but with living pieces). He is often also portrayed as the most practical or pragmatic of the trio, and less likely to lose his head in a crisis than Hermione. (Although in the movies, this was switched, Ron became more of a panicker, for comic purposes, while Hermione was far more collected.) Ron's talents are rarely shown, but he, like the other DA members, survives a violent encounter with adult Death Eaters in The Order of the Phoenix, and it is implied that during the Death Eater assault in The Half-Blood Prince he held his own quite well because he was being helped by Felix Felicis, the good luck potion. In The Deathly Hallows, Ron loses his original wand, and thus used Peter Pettigrew's wand. Following this, Ron began to demonstrate more aptitude and general knowledge, along with a sudden spurt in maturity after a terrible row with his best friend Harry Potter. For a while he effectively leads the trio in the hunt for the Horcruxes while Harry suffers a major depression. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Family

Ron was born on 1 March 1980 [38][HP6] to Arthur and Molly Weasley, the sixth of their seven children, and the youngest son. His middle name, Bilius, is the same as that of a deceased uncle, who is mentioned in Prisoner of Azkaban. Ron grew up in the family home, The Burrow, near the village of Ottery St Catchpole in Devon. Ron has various siblings; his five older brothers, Bill, Charlie, Percy, twins Fred and George, and a younger sister, Ginny, each with their own distinct personality trait. One recurring factor in Ron's siblings is that they often appear to be more confident, self-assured and, to varying degrees, more outwardly talented than him.

Rowling has described the Weasleys as an old pure-blood Wizarding family. The family is relatively poor, and despite Ron's father's promotion from head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office at the Ministry of Magic to Head of the Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects in 2005's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, they remain financially strained. Ron is particularly self-conscious, frustrated, and even resentful of his family's modest means;[1] indeed, his school enemies, including Draco Malfoy and his father Lucius Malfoy, taunt him for his lack of wealth. Ironically, by the sixth book, Ron's father has been promoted to a much higher-paid position and Lucius Malfoy has been thrown in jail.

Ron is distantly related to Sirius Black and is part of the famed Black family, though he and the rest of his immediate family have been considered 'blood traitors' and are disowned. Other distant relatives include Nymphadora Tonks, Draco Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Phineas Nigellus Black. Furthermore, the Black family tapestry as shown in the "Order of the Phoenix" film shows that a "Charlus Potter" married Dorea Black (Phineas Nigellus Black's grandaughter) which would give him distant relation to Harry Potter as well.

Relationships

Hermione Granger

Ron's most significant romantic relationship throughout the series is the one he has with his other best friend (and unbeknownst to him, future wife) Hermione Granger. When the two first meet on the Hogwarts Express, they can't stand each other and spend the first few months of school trying to avoid each other as much as possible. However, after a dangerous run in with a mountain troll in the first book, the two put aside their differences and quickly become close friends, thus completing the main trio. Hints that Ron and Hermione's feelings for one another might go deeper than friendship appear as early as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but some argue maybe even earlier. The sexual tension escalates between the two throughout the third, fourth, fifth, and especially sixth book, but insecurity and fear of rejection on both their parts keep the two from admitting their deep attraction, even when it has become very obvious to everyone around them (especially Harry) that they have very strong romantic feelings for each other. Their friendship is very hotheaded and passionate, and the pair constantly bicker and argue as means to mask their true affection for each other. They are not above using other people to make each other jealous, as we see in Half Blood Prince, and it is only at the end of the 7th book, during the Battle of Hogwarts and in the face of almost certain death, that the couple finally admits and consummates their feelings. Hermione Jean Granger is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. ... Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) or Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (video game) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is the second novel in the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. ... Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the soon-to-be-released sixth installment in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling. ...


When Hermione was Petrified, and Ron was terrified of confronting the Slytherin monster, he glanced at Hermione's empty chair and it seemed to convince him, and he is most excited and relieved to learn that her recovery will be imminent. Despite his teasing and bickering with her, Ron is extremely protective and defensive of Hermione when anyone (Malfoy in particular) insults her, whether it be for her muggle-born status or her personality in general. He once belched up slugs when a curse backfired on him while he was trying to jinx Malfoy for calling her a "Mudblood," and had to be restrained from physically attacking him by Harry when he overheard Draco wishing Hermione had been killed in the basilisk attacks, claiming that he would "kill him (Draco) with my bare hands." In addition, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, his angry outburst defending Hermione against an insult from Snape in Potions Class landed him in detention. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film) or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (video game) Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third novel in the Harry Potter series written by J. K. Rowling. ...


Later on in Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron and Hermione have a serious falling out, one from which Harry thought they wouldn't recover. Their constant bickering registers to critics and readers that they may have a deep feeling for each other they may be unwilling to admit. Ron doesn't like to talk about his obvious feelings for Hermione, but becomes deeply jealous when she shows even the slightest bit of interest in another boy. The best example of this was his extreme jealousy when Hermione dated international Quidditch player Victor Krum in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Once Viktor's biggest fan, Ron comes to hate his former idol for dating Hermione, even going so far as to smash a model of him he had in his bedroom after Viktor attended the Yule Ball with her. His jealousy of Viktor continues throughout Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, where he is visibly disgruntled that Hermione still stays in touch with Krum via letters. ...

Rowling. ... It has been suggested that Inquisitorial Squad be merged into this article or section. ...


In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Ron and Hermione come extremely close to admitting their romantic attraction, with him even agreeing to be her date to a Christmas party held by Slughorn, but all is wrecked when he learns that she had once kissed Viktor Krum. His insecurity and jealousy leads him to reject her angrily, and he quickly becomes involved with fellow classmate Lavender Brown. Hermione is devastated by this and the two do not speak for months, except to fight with or be cruel to each other. However, Ron obsesses over the fact that Hermione asks Cormac McLaggen to the Christmas party they were going to attend together, which Hermione merely does to get back at him for dating Lavender. Only after a near-death experience on Ron's birthday do the two reconcile, and shortly after, Lavender, who has caught on to the fact that Ron obviously harbors romantic feelings for Hermione, breaks up with him, much to Hermione's joy. At the end of the book, Ron is seen holding Hermione and stroking her hair, though readers are given no indication whether their relationship progressed beyond friendship.

This article is about minor Harry Potter characters who are Gryffindor students in the same year as Harry. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Minor characters associated with Quidditch. ...


Though Hermione returns his feelings, Ron holds a deep seated fear that Hermione will one day become romantically involved with Harry. In Order of the Phoenix, he reprimanded her in a panic when she said to Harry that he wasn't a bad kisser (in reality, Hermione was explaining to Harry his current girlfriend's reasons for crying when they kissed). In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, one of Voldemort's horcruxes shows Ron's deepest insecurity: the fear that Hermione will never love him back, and that she would fall for Harry, who, despite being his best friend, Ron has always felt overshadowed by. The Order of the Phoenix is a fictional organization in the Harry Potter series of books by J. K. Rowling. ... “HP7” redirects here. ...


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows shows a deep shift in Ron and Hermione's friendship. The two seemed to have at least admitted their deep and longstanding attraction, but have yet to act on their feelings. Their interaction is far more tender, mature, and less argumentative than it has been in the past 6 books, with Ron finally making attempts to form a real romantic relationship with her. Near the end of the story, Hermione pulls him into a passionate kiss due to his desire to evacuate all of the house-elves from Hogwarts during The Battle of Hogwarts (which he happily reciprocates). The kiss ends only when Harry yells, "OI! There's a war going on here!" “HP7” redirects here. ... “HP7” redirects here. ...


The epilogue reveals that he and Hermione have married and have two children, Rose and Hugo.


Lavender Brown

Lavender began to show signs of interest in Ron beginning in their sixth year. In the beginning Ron was either oblivious or disinterested in Lavender's obvious attraction. However, Ron soon began a relationship with Lavender following a fallout between himself and Hermione after coming close to the two admitting a mutual attraction. Ron's relationship with Lavender was short lived due to the fact he did not have much in common with Lavender and the relationship was entirely physical. After Lavender escalates her clingy ways, Ron begins to show signs of tiring of the relationship. While he is in the hospital wing recovering from being an almost deadly poisoning he fakes sleeping every time Lavender comes to visit him. Ron initiated the relationship with Lavender primarily for the purpose of making Hermione jealous (although Ginny's taunts regarding Ron's success with women did not help), which seemed to work, as Hermione made a disastrous attempt to date Cormac McLaggen, a egomaniacal seventh year who Ron heartily detested, to get revenge. Hermione appears unnerved at Ron's continuing relationship but cannot even look at Ron while he is dating Lavender, and seemed happy and lighthearted when the relationship ends. This article is about minor Harry Potter characters who are Gryffindor students in the same year as Harry. ...


Others

Ron shows signs of attraction to a number of other women throughout the series, although his attraction is almost universally for their looks. This causes Hermione to scathingly comment on numerous occasions (including his "fancy" for Madame Rosmerta, owner of the Three Broomsticks pub) on her perception that Ron is emotionally shallow. Ron has an obvious crush on Fleur Delacour due to her amazing beauty, although the attraction seems merely physical and he has displayed no signs of jealousy at the fact that Fleur is now married to his brother, Bill.
