Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

Harry Potter fans love to debate whether or not Hermione Granger could have ever been happy with Ronald Weasley as a husband, and even J.K. Rowling herself has admitted there would be some dissatisfaction in the relationship. After writing in defense of the couple in the play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Rowling reminded us of why it actually does work: because Ron Weasley often surprises us all.

Sure, he loves nothing more than eating and being lazy with his friends, he sticks his foot in his mouth more often than not, and he’s sometimes as thick as one of Molly Weasley’s Christmas sweaters, but who hasn’t done those things? He also happens to have that trademark Weasley spirit that sometimes makes him irresistible.

10 Snogging Lav-Lav

It was even more surprising to see Ron stay with Lavender even after admitting he didn’t particularly like her. He simply liked the physical aspect of their relationship. As idiotic as Ron can appear to be, this just made him seem to be like a giant jerk, and it was hard for many fans to respect him after this behavior. Fortunately he seems to have learned how to be a better boyfriend.

9 Standing Up To Malfoy

Actor Rupert Grint, who played Ron Weasley, stated that he hoped the slugs that he had to spit out were plastic, and that while coughing up the slugs was difficult, it was also pleasant due to the different flavors of slime he was able to sample, like chocolate and lemon.

8 He Sacrificed Himself

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

Ron visibly fearful of the consequences and knew exactly what he was getting into but chose to sacrifice himself anyway in order to help Harry (and Hermione, in the book) succeed on their mission. Dumbledore may award him points for playing a great game of chess, but we all know it was for his sacrifice and bravery.

7 He’s Great At Wizard’s Chess

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

Being great at chess isn’t an automatic admission into MENSA, but it does indicate a clever mind that Ron certainly isn’t known for. The fact that he is so good at it doesn’t just reflect practice but skill, and it surprised many Harry Potter fans. It’s quite possible that he and Hermione play Wizard’s Chess together on dates, matching his wits with hers.

6 He Treated His Friends Poorly During The Triwizard Tournament

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

Ron was mean to Hermione throughout the book as well when he saw how Krum, a person he’d idolized only weeks before, fell for the clever witch. Jealous Ron is not a pretty Ron and he seems to have been green with envy in both circumstances.

5 He’s A Fantastic Keeper

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

The fact that Ron thought he’d been drugged and was happy to still play is bothersome, but with the confidence brought about by the placebo effect he was able to demonstrate actual superior skills on the field, proving that he was indeed a good Quidditch player. He may not be on the Ginny Weasley scale, but he was definitely good enough to be Harry’s keeper.

4 Thinking Of The House Elves

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

It’s one of Ron’s best moments, and it’s a shame that in the movie, they simply kiss out of relief over being alive. When Hermione throws herself at him over the comment, he responds so enthusiastically, throwing down everything he’s holding and lifting her off the ground, that there is zero doubt about how he feels about her.

3 His Life Without Hermione

Harry Potter 10 Times Ron Weasley Surprised Us All

When he runs into Hermione at Hogwarts, he is obviously still very much in love with her, and when the two discover that they were married in an alternate reality, they fight so hard for it, even while knowing they are doomed, that it’s one of the most emotional scenes of the play. Ron is also quite smitten with Hermione as his wife in the play, and always touching her, discussing issues with her and being a protective husband.

2 Shaming Ginny’s Social Life

Anyone with a big brother knows that this is often normal behavior for a teenager whose sister has begun to date, but after having so little interest in Ginny it still felt like it was out of left field. When Ginny revealed how lonely she was at Hogwarts the year Tom Riddle possessed her with the diary, it was even more glaring how little Ron had had to do with her.

1 His Anguish Over Hermione’s Torture

Lots of fans were incensed that the nuances of Ron’s character were swapped for pure comic relief in the movies, but this instance was particularly surprising since he was still obviously in love with her. Why tone it down so much? It makes much more sense for him to agonize over her pain.
