10 Harry Potter Characters Who Totally Messed Up

8. Ron Weasley

Don't get angry, HP fans: this is really just referring to that time Ron LEFT HARRY AND HERMIONE while they were out to save the world. And alone in the woods. Though it seems unfair to point the finger at Ron with regards to being the weakest of the trio (because he certainly puts in his fair share of effort), this one episode of childlike rage ranks him third in the Harry, Hermione, Ron balance. Because he shouldn't have had a tantrum and left them, right? Friends don't leave friends when the fate of the world is in your hands. Jealousy is not an attractive quality at the best of times, and J K Rowling's decision to have Ron run off in a fit of anger gives ample reason to lose a little respect for his character. Thank god he returns eventually, in order to redeem himself. Still, it's taking a lot longer than we expected to truly forgive him for such an immature display of behaviour.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
