Won-Won Weasley

Personally, I believe that Ron Weasley has developed the most out of all the characters in all of the Harry Potter books thus far. Harry has always been brave and the ‘Chosen One’ and he hasn’t really expanded as a character because he has always been the center of the spotlight. Hermione is probably the second most developed character but Ron still beats her out I think.

            Ron starts out this series as an outcast, always being overlooked, even from his own family. And then he meets the famous Harry Potter and has been nothing but loyal to the guy. But other than being good friends with Hermione and Harry, Ron didn’t have much else to make him special until book 6 really. When Lavender Brown came along and became Ron’s first girlfriend and all they did was snog he finally became more individual, not just Harry’s shadow. You also see that he has a lot of skill in Quidditch when he isn’t freaking out about the whole game and especially when he thinks that he drank some liquid luck.

            For a long time Ron was, as I said, Harry’s shadow. He just followed him around and always helped him out when he needed it, like playing chess in the first book, or going down to the Chamber of Secrets. But more recently Ron has become more of a man with feelings for girls finally, you also get to see a dispute between Hermione and Ron and you can only wonder what that may lead to eventually. All in all Ron has developed as a character greatly throughout the series, but especially in the sixth book.
