Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley (b. 1 March 1980) was born to a pure-blood wizard and House of Weasley member. He is the sixth child and youngest son of Molly and Arthur Weasley, the younger brother of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George, and the older brother of Ginny. Ron and his family live in The Burrow, where Harry Potter and Hermione Granger stay quite often.

Exit and homecoming

Harry Potter: "So why are you still here?"

Ron Weasley: "Search me."

Harry Potter: "Go home then."

Ron Weasley: "Yeah, maybe I will! Didn't you hear what they said about my sister? But you don't give a rat's fart, do you, it's only the Forbidden Forest, Harry I ve-Faced-Worse Potter doesn't care what happens to her in here, well, I do, all right, giant spiders and mental stuff –"

— Ron lashing out against Harry, resulting in a violent and aggressive row

Afterward, weeks passed with no further progress. This, as well as the locket's negative influence, caused great tension and animosity amongst the group of friends. When he wore the locket, Ron was sullen and suspicious, lashing out at his friends and continuously complaining. Ron abruptly abandoned his friends one evening after getting into a ferocious and savage fight with Harry over the additional task of locating Godric Gryffindor's Sword to destroy the locket. He accused Harry of having no plan and of not being very concerned about Ginny, whom they had learned was punished back at Hogwarts.

In response, Harry screamed at Ron to go. When Ron asked if Hermione was going with him, and she told him that she was staying, he accused her of choosing Harry over him and left, despite Hermione screaming and crying for him to come back.

As soon as he was outside the influence of the Horcrux, Ron came to his senses and tried to return. However, he had a run-in with Snatchers first, who interrogated him. Ron claimed to be Stan Shunpike and then took an opportunity to escape. He apparated numerous times to try to find Harry and Hermione, splinching fingernails off at one point, but could not see them. He then went to stay with Bill and Fleur at their new home, Shell Cottage. Soon after Christmas, Ron used the Deluminator Dumbledore bequeathed him to locate his friends.

Ron made his way to the Forest of Dean, where he arrived just in time to rescue Harry from drowning in a semi-frozen pond. When Ron attempted to use Godric Gryffindor's Sword to destroy the locket, horrible incorporeal images of Harry and Hermione came forth, which cruelly mocked Ron about his many insecurities, including his fears that Hermione would choose Harry over him. This brought Ron to the point of tears. However, Ron, in far more rage than before, successfully stabbed the Horcrux with Godric Gryffindor's Sword.

Afterward, Harry took Ron aside to assuage his fears about Harry and Hermione. Saving Harry's life earned Ron Harry's forgiveness, but Hermione — who was unaware of what the Horcrux had done — was still furious with him for his abandonment for some time and attacked him mercilessly upon sight until Harry cast a Shield Charm to stop her. Also, Ron was pissed and angry that Tom Riddle joined their adventure, but learned over time to trust him fully.

Visit to the Lovegood House

"Aha! That's got to be Luna's house; who else would live in a place like that? It looks like a giant rook!"

— Ron describing the Lovegood's house

Upon his return, Ron was happy to the point of giddiness because he thought that they had an ally out there somewhere; however, he wasn't happy about Riddle being with Hermione. But he wanted to fight over Hermione and win her back, even if it takes fighting with Riddle. When Hermione proposed a trip to the Lovegoods' house to investigate a recurring symbol, Ron wholeheartedly agreed but watched every Riddle move to get close to Hermione. Harry privately accused Ron of only agreeing to get back on Hermione's good side, a fact that he did not deny, stating, "All's fair in love and war, and this is a bit of both."

The trio and Riddle learned of the existence of the Deathly Hallows from Xenophilius Lovegood. Xenophilius, worried for his daughter Luna, who was being held hostage by Death Eaters, tried to capture the trio. They narrowly escaped, Hermione, engineering it in a way that preserved Ron's alibi of being sick at home. While Harry obsessed over the Hallows, Ron and Hermione thought they should focus on finding the Horcruxes, as Dumbledore had instructed them. While Riddle observes his heirloom thoroughly. During Harry's period of listless obsession, Ron's leadership qualities began to show. He suggested that they search many wizarding settlements for clues, if only to be in motion and actively searching.

Skirmish at Malfoy Manor

Bellatrix Lestrange: "All except... except for the Mudblood."

Ron: "No! You can have me, keep me!"

Bellatrix Lestrange: "If she dies under questioning, I'll take you next. Blood traitor is next to Mudblood in my book. Take them downstairs, Greyback, and make sure they are secure, but do nothing more to them — yet."

— Ron begs Bellatrix while in Malfoy Manor

During the Easter holidays of 1998, the trio was captured by a gang of Snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback after Harry accidentally broke the Taboo on Voldemort's name. Hermione hit Harry in the face with a Stinging Hex to disguise him. Harry, Hermione, and Ron quickly lied and gave fake names; Harry being Vernon Dudley, Hermione being Penelope Clearwater, and Ron being Stan Shunpike. Ron was beaten (his mouth extremely bloody) and was then forced to use another name, Barny Weasley. This was due to the Snatchers already knowing who Stan Shunpike was. The Snatchers also found Godric Gryffindor's sword in their tent; there was no explaining that.

They were then brought to Malfoy Manor, where Lucius Malfoy attempted to get his son to identify Harry. Draco said that he did not know whether it was Harry or not, but immediately recognized Ron and Hermione. The trio then met with Bellatrix Lestrange, who separated them. Ron tried to persuade Bellatrix to take him for questioning instead of Hermione. She responded that she would interrogate him next if Hermione died during questioning, as "blood-traitor was next to mud-blood in her book". Ron was forced into the dungeon with Harry, Dean Thomas, and the goblin Griphook. In the dungeon, they found Luna and Mr Ollivander, who were captured in 1996.

Hermione was kept upstairs and tortured by Bellatrix, her screams reducing Ron to tears. The group was saved by Dobby, who was sent by Aberforth Dumbledore. He freed Harry and Ron to run upstairs to save Hermione, who managed to lie under torture about where they had obtained Gryffindor's Sword. Ron disarmed Bellatrix after she avoided a chandelier dropped by Dobby, and pulled Hermione from the wreckage of the fallen chandelier, Disapparating them both to Bill and Fleur's home, Shell Cottage. They stayed there with Luna, Fleur, Bill, Mr Ollivander, and Griphook. He attended the burial of Dobby, where he humbly gave him his shoes and socks.

Gringotts break-in

Travers: "Who is your friend? I do not recognize him."

Hermione Granger: "This is Dragomir Despard. He speaks very little English, but he is in sympathy with the Dark Lord's aims. He has traveled here from Transylvania to see our new regime."

— A disguised Hermione introduces a disguised Ron to Travers

At the cottage, Hermione recovered, and she, Ron, and Harry planned to break into Gringotts Wizarding Bank to take Hufflepuff's Cup, and a Horcrux, within the Lestrange Vault. Griphook the goblin agreed to help them in exchange for Gryffindor's Sword. Ron, knowing that the sword was needed to destroy Horcruxes, was reluctant to let Harry part with it. Harry suggested that they delay handing the sword over until the Horcruxes were destroyed. As the planning went forward, Ron, along with Harry and Hermione, found Griphook to be increasingly distasteful.

On the morning of 1 May 1998, they broke into Gringotts with Hermione disguised as Bellatrix Lestrange, Ron as a fictional foreign wizard named "Dragomir Despard", and Harry under his Invisibility Cloak with Griphook. As they were headed down into the vaults, the Gringotts' defenses (the Thief's Downfall in particular) were set against them, and Ron's disguise melted away. Once in the vault, it was discovered that all the treasure had Geminio and Flagrante curses put on it. Although they were betrayed by Griphook, the trio obtained Helga Hufflepuff's cup and escaped the wizarding bank on the back of a dragon.

Battle of Hogwarts

"They can help. We don't know where it is. We've got to find it fast. We don't have to tell them it's a Horcrux."

— Ron persuades Harry to let Dumbledore's Army help.

After getting off the dragon, escaping from the wizarding bank, Ron saw Harry having one of his visions. He was told that Lord Voldemort finally knew that they were hunting Horcruxes and that the final one was at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Tom apparated under the invisibility cloak to Hogsmeade, looking for a way into Hogwarts. They were soon cornered by Death Eaters set to watch the town. Ron drew his wand, ready to fight them, but Harry suggested that the advantage lay in stealth and that attacking would give away their position. Once the Death Eaters ordered Dementors to search the town for the trio, Harry was forced to perform the Patronus Charm while Tom joined him to cast it also. After Harry and Tom's Patronus chased away the Dementor, the trio and Riddle found refuge in the Hog's Head.

A heated discussion with the proprietor followed, who turned out to be Aberforth Dumbledore. The discussion revolved around Harry's mission and the seeming defeat of the Order of the Phoenix. After this, they were led into Hogwarts by a badly beaten Neville Longbottom, who, in Harry's absence, became the de facto leader of the D.A. They arrived in the Room of Requirement and found that the reformed Dumbledore's Army was hiding out there. Harry, who had developed trust issues, did not like the idea of allowing the other DA members to help. Ron persuaded Harry to let the others do so anyway.

While Harry and Ron searched for Ravenclaw's Diadem, Tom and Hermione entered the Chamber of Secrets to retrieve basilisk fangs, and after destroying the diadem with the fang, they reunited with Harry. Later, Ron tells Harry it's time to let Hermione go because he knows she chooses Tom, whom she loves.

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Tom entered the Room of Requirement to find Ravenclaw's diadem, but were ambushed by Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. When Crabbe unleashed a cursed fire, the trio escaped by means of broomsticks; Harry saved Draco, and Ron and Hermione saved Goyle while Tom flew nobody to carry on, only watching Hermione in front of him. Tom saved Fred from an explosion, and later Ron thanked him for saving his brother's life. The trio and Riddle made their way to the Shrieking Shack and witnessed the snake kill Severus Snape on Voldemort's orders. While dying, Severus Snape's memories leaked out of him, which Harry collected into a glass vial to later view in the headmaster's office.

During the pause in the Battle of Hogwarts, Ron went to the Great Hall, where everyone was there. Harry went up to Dumbledore's office and emptied Snape's memories into the Pensieve. He entered the Pensieve and finally learned the truth of it all. After emerging from the Pensieve, he made use of the distraction to slip out and confront Voldemort. Following his alleged death, the battle resumed, and Ron and Neville Longbottom brought Fenrir Greyback down together. Ron witnessed Harry defeat Lord Voldemort once and for all and survived the battle without serious injury.

After Hogwarts (1998–2014)

Ron never received a seventh year of education at Hogwarts. Instead of completing his education, he moved on to become an Auror (along with Harry) at the Ministry of Magic, where he helped track down and capture those who had supported Lord Voldemort and had gone into hiding, or had feigned innocence or ignorance while actually cooperating and willingly supporting his regime. Two years after he started at the Auror Office, he left to help his brother George at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley. However, he retained strong ties in the Ministry. Their work revolutionized both the Auror department and the institution at large, and along with Hermione, the trio helped "make a new world" for the wizarding community.

His decision to step down was questioned by Rita Skeeter, who thought that Ron was tired of standing in Harry's shadow, and wrote in her gossip column that Ron was likely mentally ill (this must, of course, be taken with more than a small pinch of salt due to Rita's habit of writing scathing lies in articles), having said himself that the Horcrux hunt had "took its toll" on him.

During the trial of Dolores Umbridge shortly after the war, Umbridge managed to escape and ally with some Death Eaters (Corbin Yaxley, the Carrows, and Walden Macnair). Together, they planned a plot involving Time-Turners to bring back the dictatorship that had existed in the British Ministry of Magic from 1997–1998. They were stopped, however, by Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter.

Sometime between 1998 and 2006, Ron married Luna Lovegood, and later the couple had two children: Lena and Ron Jr. Ron was also the godfather and uncle of Harry and Ginny's oldest son, James II. At some point, Ron, Harry, Tom, and Hermione were all featured on Chocolate Frog Cards for their accomplishments, which Ron considered his "finest hour".
