Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' movies is a shell of the character from the books.
Ron Weasley , best friend to Harry Potter and Hermione Granger , is of vital importance to the story… at least, he is in the Harry Potter books. In the books, Ron finds himself on a hero’s journey of his own as he helps his best friend take down the most powerful wizard of all time, but the movies substantially fail when it comes to Ron — and the entire Weasley family for that matter, but it is most notable with Ron, the character closest to Harry.
This change in Ron’s character also comes at the expense of his relationship with Hermione, too, which is later a beautiful romance. The entire dynamic of their relationship changes . Often, Ron is fiercely protective and loyal to Harry and Hermione, like when Snape calls her a “know-it-all” and, in the books, Ron stands up for her and gets a detention because of it. In the movie, Ron says “he’s got a point, you know,” which is ultimately the beginning of movie Ron not being worthy of Hermione.
With how undervalued Ron is in the movies, it comes at the expense of unarguably the most important relationship in the books: Harry and Ron’s friendship. Ron is the first person to see Harry for who he is. He’s the first person of his own age to treat Harry with respect and friendship, and the two quickly form an unbreakable bond. Likewise, Harry understands Ron and sees Ron for more than just being another Weasley or the younger sibling of one of his many brothers.
In the books, Ron’s loyalty to Harry knows no bounds, and vice versa. Harry’s primary concern when recognizing his romantic feelings for Ginny is how Ron will react. Harry puts off his pursuit of these feelings, despite knowing that Ginny feels the same, because of his loyalty to Ron. Ron’s loyalty is shown in other extremes, though. In Prisoner of Azkaban, when Sirius drags Ron to the Shrieking Shack and the trio learn the truth, it’s Ron who.
