Ron Weasley

Ronald "Ron" Bilius Weasley (born 1 March 1980) is a fictional character in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series of children's books. He has been portrayed by actor Rupert Grint in all Harry Potter films so far.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron loses his pet rat Scabbers, and blames it on Hermione's cat Crookshanks. They fall out over this (but make friends again when Ron chases after Scabbers who goes into a house called the Shrieking Shack). They do not speak for a while, as Ron had only just got Hermione back from their fight on Harry's firebolt, in which she thought it had a jinx on it, and had it consfiscated. Finally, after The Scabbers/Crookshanks fight, Ron takes over Hermione's case to save Buckbeak, and they are brought into a hug, which mends their friendship (along with an apology from Hermione).

Harry, Ron and Hermione then go to see Hagrid off on the execution day. But then, as they watch, Ron's rat Scabbers runs off after biting him. He follows it to the Whomping Willow. A dog comes along and bites Ron and takes him into the Shrieking Shack (a tunnel from under the Whomping Willow led to it), and the dog turns out to be Sirius Black a man who has supposedly killed many people, has just broken out of the wizard prison of Azkaban, and is Harry's godfather. Professor Lupin arrives just after Harry and Hermione in the Shrieking Shack, and along with Sirius, Lupin casts a spell on Scabbers, who turns out to be an animagus called Peter Pettigrew, a servant of Lord Voldemort who gave his master information about where Harry's parents James and Lily Potter were on the night of their death.

During Harry's confrontation with then-supposed-murderer Black, Ron states while standing on a broken leg "If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us too!" This line revealed Ron's true Gryffindor spirit yet is attributed to Hermione in the film. Sirius is actually innocent, and just when they find out, Lupin turns into a werewolf under the full moon, and the action continues (many hints were given). Ron is taken to the hospital wing, while Harry and Hermione go back to try to save Sirius, and Sirius gives Ron a small owl in compensation for Scabbers. Ginny names the owl Pigwidgeon.
