Harry Potter Character Guide

Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint )

With his bright red hair, Ron is easily identifiable as youngest son of the large and struggling Weasley family. Though he's often picked on by members of the Slytherin House for his hand-me-down clothes and wizarding supplies, he bravely stands up to fight alongside Harry when things get really dangerous.

The pair met before their first train ride to Hogwarts and quickly became friends. Ron keeps things lighthearted with his bumbling nature and frequent jokes and plays on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
