The one ring was making him angry

basically this
ron was the most flawed of the three, and in very obvious ways, but not really a dick- being friends with harry was taxing on him and hermione, he was having to leave a lot behind, and he was immature. his jealousy when it comes to harry and hermione was his character-defining flaw, and he did worse things than leaving them there during one argument throughout the books, but he came back, and that's what mattered
it's called an arc

>giving all of ron's good qualities and lines to hermione

why does yates hate men?

in b4 dullestfag shows up

this is just how ron is handled outside of the books, the new play did this too

Examples? I remember thinking this when it came out but that was ages ago.

Perhaps he should have died as well to stop one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises.

Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

to be honest, it doesn't really make sense that Harry was so sensitive about people who he has never met. There was absolutely no reason for him to feel an emotional connection with James and Lilly Potter. In real life, to him it would be no different than hearing about some random people getting killed. He never knew his parents so they were nothing to him, emotionally

Also, Ron was so mad because he was stuck in the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. etc

>kids with foster parents never get emotional over finding out about their biological parents
>kid who found out his foster parents who are also his aunt and uncle lied about his parents being killed in a car wreck when they are actually legendary heroes with magic powers would have no emotions about this

this one lays it out better but this is reddit, this is memes.

hermione and ron's romance is the most idiotic thing in the series

literally nothing in common

literally zero chemistry

basically she gets wet for him for some reason

at least when chad fucked her it was beliveable, she being a vapid cunt

and no harry would not have fucked her either, weasly brothers would've double teamed her or some assistant prof

IT WAS ALL A DREAM

He didn't kloves did because hermione was a better character and easier to use things though. You ronfags are gay they both get btfo and both have their moments

Ron was scared. His family were all living under Voldemort's rule, while Hermione's were chilling in Australia (to be unobliviated if the war ended, and not hurt at all if Hermione died), and Harry's were "conveniently" already dead. We all say shit we don't really mean when we're angry or scared.

>hermione vapid
>making polyjuice potion
>doing shit like this
You could call harry and ron vapid if hermione is vapid

This Raimi meme isn't even funny

because gingers have no souls, he was only doing what was morally correct

would've been funny if she shrapnel'd herself to death

they're both ugly cunts in the books. and then they hang out a lot more than harry and aren't famous superheros like harry.

why didn't she just alohomora that thing open why does she have to be such a drama queen

He was, but when he comes back he says something along the lines of "I regretted what I said the moment I left", that's a common enough thing to happen to anyone, let alone an incredibly stressed out teenager.

How many times are you going to get to break Sirius Black out of prison? May as well go all out.

Who is this dude??

This plus they were in a rush. Literally am adrenaline rush.

Also its a prison tower at hogwarts who is to say it didn't have a charm to protect from a basic spell like alohamora. Hermione used the spell she knew would work the quickest

>"Remember Harry, we can't be seen and must avoid detection at all times"
>"Let me just cause a booming explosion right here lol"
She should have at least tried something more subtle.

>literally nothing in common
They were friends for years. They obviously have shit in common and enjoy each other's company.

>literally zero chemistry
They have a lot of it in the books, actually. There are plenty of small interactions between the two that show they get to each other a lot. Harry and Hermoine actually don't talk about much besides homework and plot-relevant stuff; Ron and Hermoine interact way more with each other.

>basically she gets wet for him for some reason
Ron is a ridiculously good person. He's always there for his friends, even if he knows everyone sees him as a sidekick. He's also incredibly caring, and (in the books), one of the stars of the Quiddich team. Plus, the two go through a lot together; it isn't exactly uncommon for people who spend a lot of time together as teenagers to end up attracted to each other.

Who was there to see them senpai? Come on
Plus its more about the direction it fits with the film and was unexpected yet cool

The two perspectives of the dementors were climaxes but breaking out sirius and riding buckbeak is the climax. Its on the book cover even. Of course it will be exciting you really wanted an alohamora there?

Not being seen more had to do with everything else they did that breaking out was gravy

He's being a dick they had good chemistry in the films too like at the end of chamber of secrets when hermione shakes rons hand it was emmas idea not to hug both of them. They were both used for a lot of comic relief. And yea you could always tell by their bickering that they liked eachother a bit

Wasn't Alohomora deemed enough by Hogwarts to protect the literal fountain of immortality in the first movie?

There were much bigger obstscles besides a door protecting that. Which the teachers implemented

This is a guard tower with cell that would be used only if a dark wizard or someone who students were in danger of would be put until the minsitry arrived. Hermione did nothing wrong by usinf bombarda

Harry should have just befriended Malfoy at the beginning of the series.

boring opinion
you took your time to write that? damn.. sorry

Dumbledore wanted harry to be able to stroll in there, and knew that there wasn't going to be a lock that kept you-know-who out anyway.

fuck malfoy desu

...

...

every time

...

It wouldn't have lasted, Lucius Malfoy would have been outraged that his son was hanging out with the half-blood Boy who Lived and put an end to it.

boring post

boring meme

>moviefags pretend they know what they're talking about

>female understanding of anger & insult

Just marathoned this flick franchise, thought it was pretty dull

Weird. The screenplay had Ron being kinda likable though a beta (but he's always one). But Hermione? Holy shit was she hateable. So fucking annoying and in one timeline a complete bitch

So hol up... you be sayin... Ron was Uchiha n sheeit?

WRONG

Lucius told Draco to befriend Harry because having a famous friend would increase their families prestige.

Some death eaters also thought by causing Voldemorts death when he was a baby, he would usurp him and bring about the age of wizard supremacy himself

Lord Moldy Butt?

It's pretty easy to make Hermione seem like an uptight bitch. It's just kinda the dynamic, Ron is the goofball, Harry is a bit of a wet blanket and Hermione is the serious, mature one... which makes her a bit of a buzzkill.

I forget, why was Malfoy's family so rich again?

I don't know, but he wasn't in it again after the third movie. Probably expelled for practicing black magic.

Because they were the bad guys and Rowling is a socialist

slavery

Everything Ron said in that scene was objectively true

I've always wondered about how the students at Hogwarts learned shit like Math, English, Biology... I understand as young kids they learn it at home but necessary advanced stuff for Potions or other shit like Medicine must be taught somewhere. What about Sex Ed?

Yeah, their education is pretty terrible, here's some other subjects they don't learn
>Philosophy
>Ethics
>Economics
>Literature
>Geography
>Science in general
>P.E.
>Other languages
>History of things other than magic

Agreed, I was just telling that poster he's wrong.

They do have a muggle studies course though, I assume they learn a bit about history then. I'd like to learn more about specialty education after Hogwarts because Hogwarts alone can't be enough for certain fields.

Kinda sad that the only sexual scene we see Hermione in is with Harry.

What about when Krum fingers in during the Yule Ball? It's implied she eventually loses her virginity to him later that night

Their "muggle studies" course just teaches you how muggle society works and what they're like. One class was "Why Muggles Need Electricity", another class was about muggle games and playgrounds
More importantly, it's elective so most students don't take it.

>What about Sex Ed?
Who needs Sex Ed when you have rape potions?

I don't remember this

I don't understand poverty in the Hogwarts world. I understand meager living to to low ambition but when you can conjure up shit and make most daily tasks automated how in the fuck can't you just magically copy books and manufacture robes and shit.

Maybe you were just too young?

Hogwarts starts at 11 so they should have at least a bit more than a grade school education. It also requires them to read quite a lot and write tests and essays and stuff so there's obviously a bit of english in there.

I'm pretty sure a lot of basic knowledge comes up in the magical subjects where it would be relevant.

I doubt a lot of that is all that important in wizard society. Geography, sure. Science? What's science worth to you if it states that you shouldn't exist. Pretty sure wizards have a different understanding of how things work. I never learned philosophy in school either and "ethics" was a class where we sent protestants, muslims and atheists to.

History would obviously prioritize that of the wizard community just like history class in your country probably prioritized your own countries history. Just as they would learn about their own literature. I'm gonna give you PE and foreign languages, that seems like an oversight.

I can only understand poverty in the sense of lack of wizard money to buy magical items or things you can't conjure up yourself.
For everything else (food, housing, entertainment, clothing) I agree that poverty makes no sense. There is no reason for Ron to need to wear Hand-Me-Downs or for the Weasleys to live in a shack.

Link to scene?

>I never learned philosophy in school either and "ethics" was a class where we sent protestants, muslims and atheists to.
Where are you from if I may ask?

There is a difference between basic English and advanced English. I'm sure the professors weren't total cunts when grading assignments in regards to spelling, punctuation, and wording but I'd think there would be classes on classic wizard literature for the upper years.

>Just as they would learn about their own literature
Except they don't. They have no cultural or "liberal arts" class whatsoever. No literature, no art, no music.

>>Economics
To tell you the truth I have no idea how the Wizard economy even works.

The catholic part of Germany, a very rural part of it. We have Religious Education as part of our curriculum, which was obviously strictly catholic to a point that for a while it was taught by an actual pries. Of course that was more than 10 year ago, before everyone stopped trusting them with children. Meaning, those who weren't catholic had "etchics" as a substitute. Which was, in our case, a protestant, a turk and a girls who was with Jehovas Witnesses.

They have to read a lot for their classes so I'm sure they'd pick a lot of it up.

Maybe it's part of History of Magic?

Don't conjured items disappear after a few hours/days?

>Maybe it's part of History of Magic?
All they ever seem to learn is about Goblin rebellions and shit, it's an actual history class.
And that class was taught by the School's worst teacher: a ghost that just reads everything in a monotone voice while everyone takes notes or sleeps.

Yeah. It must've been expensive for new wand(s), textbooks, magical animals... for all the Weasley's every year. The older kids could help out around the house and Molly could've been manufacturing something with her magic ability for sell in either the wizard world or the muggle one.

Really, making money should be easy
>Make shit with magic
>Sell to muggles
>Exchange muggle money for wizard money
>Rinse and repeat

The exchange rate must be horrific but you can buy shit like furniture, food, clothing... from the muggle world and save all the wizard money for magic shit.

>you can buy shit like furniture, food, clothing... from the muggle world
Why pay money when you can just use magic to steal it?

That would land you on some watchlist and have the magic police on your ass probably.

Why did they have to wear the one ring? Couldn't they have just put it in a bag or something?
We see that when they take it off its effects immediately fade.

The government won't care as long as you don't do anything to endanger magical secrecy.
Slughorn was living in Muggle houses while their owners were on vacation and never got in trouble for it.

i watched order of the phoenix what were those glass spheres ? their purpose ?and why did voldmort want harrys and they destroyed all the other sphres while fighting

weak transition user, you don't deserve to post this pasta

I went to a school that was actually run by Catholic Priests and we had a religion class, an ethics class AND later a Philosophy class. And the philosophy class was taught by the principal, a priest.

Makes me wonder how the hell Fred and George managed to open their own business with no knowledge of economics, business, supply/demand, marketing etc etc.

Prophecies I think?

Oracles. Magic Crystal balls.

Voldemort wanted the upperhand on harry.

Not to mention they got prime real estate in Diagon Alley

They probably got it for cheap thanks to the Wizarding War. Lots of businesses panicked and closed shop.

Best line in the movie

"black could be anywhere"

"what is the purpose of a rubber duck"

-owns a car

>"what is the purpose of a rubber duck"
>Is in charge of the department that deals with Muggles

Has nothing to do with her being a better character. It was entirely about the enourmous fanbase looking for Harry and Hermione to be a thing. They played up the male and female lead and left Ron's character out.

>why does yates hate men?

I don't think he does anymore, Fantastic Beasts is like a buffet of good husbandos.

Yates has become gay over the years.

Notorious W.I.Z

It made a lot more sense in the books because Ron was still a character instead of the hollow shell of comic relief the movie made him out to be

I'm the books he is constantly standing up and defending his friends. The typical heart of gold character. It made a lot of sense because Ron was the only non-muggle raised of the three so was the foundation for them and especially for Hermione who was pretty insecure and unsure of herself

WAS IT ALL A MEME

Again the book makes this fucking clear. They were prophecies and the one they were fighting over was the secret to Harry and Vold's connection. It was a risk that Vold wasn't immortal. That he had a weakness. For someone who was obsessed from his child hood about becoming immortal and went so far as to fracture his soul multiple times to accomplish it, he had to have the prophecy.

He had been walking around this whole time thinking of himself as an immortal god. To finally find out he might not be, it made sense he would do eveything he could to get it.

Thry didn't leave the character out they were a trio and it had nothing to do with shipping and everything to do sith kloves saying he loved writing hermione and it was easy to use her to explain elements and move the story along

Ron and hermione were always a thing and it was obvious. Hermione had a caring and slightly motherly overbearing nature towards harry. At the end of then2nd film hermione shakes hands with ron and you can tell they like eachother more. In 3 ron jokes about having to chop off his leg when hermione tends to his wounds by sirius
