So sorry for the long absence! It was midterms week followed by spring break week and this Jersey girl was busy soaking up the un-seasonably (though I am not complaining) warm weather! I haven’t gotten to do my blog post on Ron Weasley…his birthday was March 1st but better late than never :) Here are my thoughts on the world’s favorite ginger…
Ron is one of the BEST characters in the HP series! I always felt like he was relatable—like all normal teenagers (and frankly most adults), he has mood swings and he struggles with jealousy of his best friend, feeling left out of his family, not being motivated to do homework and also struggling to put his romantic feelings into words. Of course, Ron also has to struggle with helping to defeat a dark wizard, being responsible for the damage of a stolen flying car and having a pet who is really a death eater. The fact he can handle all that without avada-ing himself…that’s pretty boss.
Have I mentioned that Ron has the best lines out of EVERYONE? They may not be wise like Dumbledore, but he is freakin hysterical. “Percy wouldn’t recognize a joke if it danced in front of him wearing Dobby’s tea cozy”---perfect!
Ron also put the expression “bloody hell” into my vocabulary. He definitely has the potty mouth out of the trio and is always using some interesting swear words. (“What in the name of Merlin’s soggy Y front”---no one swears quite like the British do.)
There are three posters of Ron in my room and I don’t plan on taking them down when I become a big girl with a mortgage and husband and car payment. Ron is a nice little reminder that, although life can get pretty rough sometimes, a little bit of wit and firewhiskey can make it all better.
