Ron Weasley

Ron Weasley is a fictional character in J.K.

Rowling's Harry Potter series, the loyal but insecure best friend of the protagonist.

The youngest Weasley son comes from a large, loving, financially struggling wizarding family—a contrast to Harry's wealth and isolation.

Ron's name has become shorthand for the supportive sidekick who lives in a more talented friend's shadow: Every hero needs their Ron Weasley.
