I’ve been re-reading the Harry Potter series and contrasting them to the movies. I can’t help but feel Ron was done really dirty by the movies. There are actually many instances of Ron’s shining moment being poached and handed to Hermoine. Now I’m not calling this woke or anything like that. It’s a well known fact the movie’s writer was a huge Hermione fan. That’s probably why it’s the case here. All I’m tryna say is book Ron is far superior to movie Ron. They turn him into a complete doofus in the movies. Example, The moment in Prisoner of Azkaban where Sirius changes from a dog to a human. It wasn’t Hermoine that said if you want to kill Harry you have to kill us first. THAT was Ron. What do you guys think?

No doubt about it he’s done dirty. Not to mention the movies really don’t set up his romance with Hermione that well. Based just on the movies Hermione made more sense to end up with Harry instead. That being said the movies are so far from what the books establish especially with the characters such as Ron

I’m only just now going through the books for the first time, so my understanding of the characters is still largely limited to the films. I have never been a fan of Ron in the movies, so I’m interested to see of that changes as I receive a deeper character arc through the books. In certainly willing to believe that could change as I’ve already seen demonstrably larger emphasis put into numerous other characters.

The books are better! Ron was more important in the books than the movies! They gave Hermione special treatment and all the movies because she is a fan favorite character. I like Hermione but the special treatment was sometimes annoying! The books are superior in my case because they mess up the fourth book plot and took so many great moments out that were in the book! As I said before the books are better!

The HP movies ruined my favorite book and the death of Voldemort and I will never forgive them for that.

I like the movies although I don’t agree with some decisions they made but the Cursed Child was what ruined Harry Potter to me.

I’m not the biggest fan of Ron, but movie Ron feels intentionally designed to be pathetic and almost unlikable, whereas book Ron is very endearing, brave, loyal, and just a fairly average wizard trying to do the right thing.
In a sense, Hermione steals much of Ron’s lines/moments, while Dobby’s get stolen by Neville.

Agreed, the movies were still enjoyable, Cursed Child was literally fanfiction that had Rowling’s stamp of approval to make money out of. Also, Hermione secretly being black the whole time made zero sense.

I saw ‘Done Dirty’ and immediately thought of Finn.
Anyways, although I’ve read all seven books, I don’t recall much of it.
