Hello, fellow Potterheads!
Something that has always bothered me about the Harry Potter fandom, is that Ron is commonly viewed as a comic relief character. I will never think that he is solely in the series to be a comic relief. He is so much more than that in my eyes. He killed a horcrux at the same time that he was watching his greatest fear: the girl he was head over heels in love with choosing his best friend instead of him. It was something that involved a great deal of bravery, and absolutely no comedy whatsoever. He didn't crack a joke while he was doing that, and I don't think anyone was laughing at that scene in the theater.
It also really bothers me that people don't think that Ron "deserved" Hermione.
...
No.
Remember, kids, women aren't objects that can be stolen or owned. I think that people forget that way too often. Most of the time, the people who claim that Ron wasn't "deserving" of Hermione are the same people that say that James wasn't "deserving" of Lily.
If these strong and independent women didn't want to marry who they did, they wouldn't have said yes to the marriage proposal. I don't think either Hermione or Lily would have been with someone they didn't think was good for them.
Unless it was in an over dramatic fanfiction.
Until next time, Potterheads!
