Ron Weasley Is BETTER Than Harry Potter - Here's WHY

Ron Weasley is better than Harry Potter and in today's video i'm going to tell you why. There are many Harry Potter fans who play down Ron Weasley as an important character, let alone being BETTER than harry

In the post-movie phase of the Harry Potter franchise, people forget that Ron used to be the most popular character from the books and there is a reason for that. In the films, a lot of his best moments are either left out entirely or handed off to another character (often Hermione). A lot of his worst moments are left in and to him, however, and are sometimes even exaggerated. Does he have bad moments? Of course! We ALL do. What is more, because we're not inside Harry's head in the films, we miss a lot of the negative things about Harry's personality that we see in the books. When I saw this video, I was so happy because I know the films have had such a strong, negative affect on how the character is viewed.

All the weasleys are immensely talented after all there mother is a prewitt. All their talents shined in one way or another but I think Ron's lack of self confidence is what held him back. Even tho he shows a tremendous amount of bravery. And shows he's a keen strategist by playing what dumbledore was the greatest game of chess hogwarts had ever seen. And he constantly delivers on this skill especially during the last part of the second wizarding war

Ron was always my favorite character. He was very under apprenticed. I hate that most people only really know him from the movies. They turned him into a mean bubbling idiot.

Basically Ron is the best friend we all WISHED we had.

Ron is fabulous and too few people realise that

[tamarasmith]

Ron was definitely underrated by many who deemed him as just a sidekick & apparently didn't pay close enough attention to the book details. Ron, Hermione & Harry all had character flaws that they had to work to overcome, & all were gifted with different attributes that made them great at different things.

My fav character I remember laughing at him for being scared of everything when I was younger then my mum said to me - ‘He still does it all though, ’ and that’s when I found so much respect for the character

Ever since then I’ve wanted to be like Ron for being a good friend

[bundsta]

I have always felt that Ron is one of the best parts of the entire movie and book series!!

Ron exemplifies what it means to be Gryffindor more than any other Gryffindor student in the books. Brave, loyal, courageous… he’s got those in spades, maybe not so much chivalrous but he does learn that better later on. Just look at some of his accomplishments…. 11yrs old he won against a chess set enchanted by Mcgonagal, at 12 won one of the highest honors the school can give, at 15 became a prefect, learned how to make a patronus, helped to win the quidditch cup and fought off highly skilled death eaters, at 17 helped take down Voldemort (among other things like saving Harry from drowning etc…) He’s a highly skilled wizard who just happens to come from a rather large family and is over shadowed by not only his best friend but his brothers as well. It’s like Harry said in book 5, his only real problem is a mental one.

As said in the beginning, “Ron sees Harry as a person”, that reminds me on the vid of “Why Hermione Went to the Yule Ball with Victor Krum”, she too sees him for…HIM.

[lyndsaybrown]

I don't know about better, but Ron doesn't get the credit he deserves.

As for him being mad at Harry in the 4th book, all Ron ever wanted was to stand out in his family. If he were a Hogwarts champion, that would have been something the other Weasley's did not have. So, when he thought Harry put only his name in the cup - not even both he and Ron's names - he must have been hurt.

Have you ever thought about doing a read through all the books, it would be interesting to hear you read through the chapters. Please make this happen ☺

I am so very glad that Ron is being looked at more seriously. My favorite character in HP always bounces between him and Neville.

[emiliegoethals]

Ron was my favorite character. he's so cute, funny and so much more.

[gillianhynes]

Ron was always my favourite character in the books shame the films didn't portray in the same way

[SomaSong]

Idk... Having the best most capable and respected wizard of the class tell you they love you... Is probably a decent consolation prize.

[michellestella]

I always said the same thing. He wasn't the most intelligent like Hermione, he wasn't as talented as Harry in Defence Against The Dark Arts, and he wasn't as confident as all of his siblings, yet he went on that journey with his best friends, knowing there was a strong possibility he would die.

[johnjohnson]

I love the discussion! Ron has knowledge that Harry and Hermoine do not. He knows the magic side, they know the muggle side. They complement each other's shortcomings.

[LordWyatt]

Ron’s movie counterpart doesn’t do as much justice to the character as the book. I blame the writers, not the actor👌

[korie]

Ron really helped Harry understanding and feel accepted in a new environment and even introduced him to his future wife in a roundabout way.
