With all the buzz about Harry Potter surrounding the new book and movie, it seems right to look back at some of the good times we’ve had with Ron Weasley, Harry’s sidekick and best friend.
10.) “Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow,
Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow.”
So Ron’s gotten a little smarter over the years…
9.) “Can I have a look at Uranus, too, Lavender?”
Ron gets a little fiesty.
8.) “Accio Brain!”
Great going Ron. This one caused alot of trouble.
7.) Hermione frowned at Ron.
“He’s not a nutter, Ron–”
“His life’s ambition is to have his head cut off and stuck up on a plaque just like his mother,” said Ron irritably. “Is that normal, Hermione?”
Ron doesn’t like Kreacher.
6.) “…from now on, I don’t care if my tea leaves spell ‘die, Ron, die,’ I’m chucking them in the bin where they belong.”
Ron dismisses Professor Trelawney’s beloved Divination.
5.) “Tomorrow,” said Ron in a muffled voice, “I’d rather you set the alarm clock.”
Ron gets a rough awakening when Harry tries out a new spell.
4.) “Well, we were always going to fail that one,” said Ron gloomily as they ascended the marble staircase. He had just made Harry feel rather better by telling him how he told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in the crystal ball, only to look up and realize he had been describing the examiner’s reflection.
Amazing.
3.) “I want to fix that in my memory forever. Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret…”
Amen.
2.) “Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world.”
Ron offers Harry some good advice.
1.) “Fred and George tried to get me to make one [Unbreakable Vow] when I was about five. I nearly did, too, I was holding hands with Fred and everything when Dad founds us. He went mental,” sid Ron, with a reminiscent gleam in his eyes. “Only time I’ve ever seen Dad as angry as Mum. Fred reckons his left buttock has never been the same since.”
You just have to love the Weasley brothers.
