Ron is the person he's closest to, the only person who is always at his side, which is why the two times Ron deserts him hurt so much, and his best friend — by far, as Harry often points out when it's just him and Hermione.
Ron becomes Harry's very first friend in the wizarding world (or ever, for that matter). Naturally, the title of “best friend” automatically goes to him. And indeed, Hermione provides little competition for him at first, being a bossy know-it-all and getting on everyone's nerves.
Ron Weasley
Ronald Weasley is the best friend of Harry Potter and a major character throughout the Harry Potter series. He is the youngest son of a large wizarding family.
The hugely successful author tells Wonderland magazine she chose the red-haired Ron for Hermione for very personal reasons having little to do with literature. She told the magazine she “wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment” and said the couple might eventually need relationship counselling.
Though Hermione and Ron do end up together at the end of the HP Saga, the acclaimed author has said in several interviews that she considered having Hermione and Draco end up together in the end. Rowling even suggested that Draco bullying Hermione was like adolescent hair pulling on the playground.
But Britain's Sunday Times published excerpts of the interview in a front-page story, “JK admits Hermione should have wed Harry.” “I wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfillment. That's how it was conceived, really,” Rowling says in the interview.
There were few people as kind as Luna Lovegood in the wizarding world. She always stepped up to give Harry and her friends much-needed support, without expecting anything in return…
Harry needs a witch, no matter how good-looking, with whom he can laugh. Rowling has now established that humour will be a key desired trait in any future romantic pairing for Harry. He simply does not find Hermione to be that funny. This fact is explicitly stated during his falling out with Ron in fourth year.
From even the earlier films, we all knew Hermione Granger was meant for Ron Weasley. But before their ultimate expression of love in the final film, Hermione went to the Yule Ball with one of the Triwizard Tournament's champions, Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ianevski), in Goblet of Fire.
In fact, Ron is consistently weaker than Harry in the books and movies. While Ron is powerful enough to fight by Harry's side, it's pretty clear that Ron's spellcasting falls short of Harry's, and he would lose if they fought for real. Especially if he's using that broken wand of his, held together with Spellotape.
While Harry and Hermione have never been romantically involved, that has not stopped many others from assuming that they two of them are together.
The author has said that Ginny's birthday is 11 August 1981, which actually makes her almost exactly one year younger than Harry (whose birthday is 31 July 1980) and 17 months younger than Ron (whose birthday is 1 March 1980).
“Harry was constantly crushing on Draco. He just couldn't hide it.” In the books and movies, Harry and Draco are constantly at each other's throats, given that Draco's parents are Voldemort supporters and the evil wizard killed Harry's parents.
Without a doubt, Dolores Umbridge is the most hated character in the Harry Potter universe. Her unnaturally calm and polite demeanor paired with her cruelty makes her incredibly irritating.
But in a toss-up between the Hogwarts headmaster and his young protégé, Dumbledore comes out on top. Think about it: he won every award as a student, while Harry just squeaks by; he founds the Order of the Phoenix long before Harry ever joins; and he teaches young Harry pretty much everything he knows.
Although Ron isn't the brightest wizard and can be dim-witted and shy at times, he is always there to protect his best friends Harry and Hermione.
The most attractive male was probably Sirius Black. Harry describes him as very handsome several times in the books and the girls seemed quite taken with him in some of the flashbacks from the pensieve.
J.K. Rowling Says Hermione Should Have Ended Up With Harry Potter, Not Ron. Well, everything you thought you knew about love is a lie. Turns out J.K. Rowling thinks she made a huge mistake by pairing Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter novels.
In the book, it's primarily because: Hermione didn't disapparate with Harry and Dobby from Malfoy manner. So it's possible she wasn't close by them. Ron apparated with her based on the description of the scene and not knowing Dobby's injury, he probably took her right back to Shell Cottage without thinking.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Ron and Hermione finally have their first kiss, drenched in water, moments after defeating a horcrux.
