Ron Weasley is the youngest son of a family consisting entirely of talented, pure-blood wizards, who is the same age as Harry and preparing to study at Hogwarts. He carries a sense of tension and invisibility created by living in the shadow of his legendary brothers' (Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George) success or popularity. He meets Harry Potter, who is famous in the wizarding world, in a Hogwarts Express compartment where they are left completely alone. Used to other people looking down on him because of his lack of money or worn-out belongings, Ron feels at ease with Harry's lack of pretension. With small anecdotes about chocolate frog cards, famous wizards, and their school, he functions as the first informal guide to the wizarding world for both the reader and Harry. Ron's presence adds fun, practical magical knowledge, and a source of true, unwavering support to the book.
He was born as the sixth son in an entirely crowded and warm, yet quite poor, wizarding family. Everything was handed down to him from his brothers; his robes, his broken wand, and even his rat (Scabbers)—everything was old or inherited. This situation created a strong sense of family loyalty mixed with a secret resentment toward his family.
Tall, very thin, with crane-like legs. He looks lanky in his cast-off and worn clothing. He has bright red hair, freckles on his nose, and constant dark smudges around his lips; his hands and feet are large.
Harry Potter
He perceives him as an equal friend and a knight; even Harry's reputation for magic does not intimidate him.
Weasley Ailesi
He approaches his mother with affection but fears her pressure; he is wary of the twins' mischief.
Hermione Granger
He finds her overly annoying and talks back to her to avoid being overshadowed by her know-it-all attitude.
