It was both hilarious and disgusting to see what a jealous baby Ron became when Harry unexpectedly was entered into the tournament. He looked like such a vagina when he was pouting, and then he even had the gall to tell Harry to "piss off" when he didn't believe him. I would've socked the *beep* out of that little pssy
shareI think Harry should have stopped being friends with him
shareSeriously? Ron has always been a great character! And if you remember, he's just a teenager and going through a phase. He didn't mean any of that, and he felt really bad about his behavior later on and that's when they made up. Harry also understood that Ron had always had self esteem issues, always being compared to his older brothers and feeling second to him. So because of that, he understands why he was acting the way he was and why he feels the way he does. But besides this one time, Ron has never acted that way, he's always been good.

They're make up scene makes no sense whatsoever though. Ron says 'after fighting those dragons, I can't imagine you'd put your name in the goblet of fire on purpose' or something to that effect, apparently ignoring the fact that that's what every single other person who entered the tournament did....
shareI think that discussions of characterization get lost in movies like this that are based on children's/young adult books, but you're right, and I think that's intentionally part of the character. Multiple times in the book, Ron is said to be a bit of a dick, and frequently jealous. Part of that can be explained by the family situation, being constantly overshadowed by five older brothers who are either smarter or more accomplished or who just stand out in some other way, which doesn't excuse the dickish behavior, but it is alluded to and explained very well in the books why he is such a little b!tch.
shareRon was ashamed of his behavior too and that's why he apologized to Harry and made up with him. But you don't need to use such sexist language on him. And Ron has always been a great character despite these certain flaws. Which make him more human.
shareSeriously. I agree that Ron was being a jerk, but "he looked like a vagina", seriously? Stop using anything related to a woman as an insult.
shareHe's just a kid...
shareHe was going through a phase. It happens, he didn't really mean it. Teenagers are unpredictable and b*tchy at times but he snapped out of it in the end.

Ron thinks Harry put his name in the Goblet of fire and didn't tell him how to do it too. I'd be a bit peeved at my friend if they did that too.
Ron is overlooked by his friend all the time, he didn't mean to become friends with the chosen one, he meant to be friends with the small friendly looking kid who had space in his compartment in the carridge.
Pair that with the fact he is overshadowed at home. Everything he's done his brother have done before and Ginny is the only girl.
And that he is meant to be 13/14 Ron's behaviour is understandab;e.
Lol, name me just one 13/14 year old boy or girl who isn't pissy at times.
shareLo, have you never been 14 years old OP? That's typical teenage behaviour. It was a phase, though Ron had reasons to act the way he did. He thought his best friend put his name forward without telling him, that would make me angry too.
Plus Ron is always frustrated by being second in command to Harry, his best friends being better at magic than him, always having to borrow clothes and stuff from family members while Harry can choose what he likes plus not telling Hermione he loves her.
All of that added up
Ron thinks Harry put his name in the Goblet of fire and didn't tell him how to do it too. I'd be a bit peeved at my friend if they did that too.
Don't be so mean against Ron! Like all the others on here have said, he's just a teenager. He's 14 years old. Most teenagers are going through hormones and phases. He didn't mean to act the way he did, and if you remember, he felt really bad later on and apologized and made up with Harry. Besides he honestly thought that Harry betrayed him by not telling him anything. Also he's always been annoyed about being second to him, and always overlooked by his older brothers, so it makes sense. But this is the only time he acts like this, throughout the series he's always been a great character. And seriously? Using very misogynist language to describe him in such a way is disgusting in itself.
Also the way he was in Deathly Hallows doesn't count. The only reason why he acted that way was because of the locket horcrux made him that way.
I'm not a big fan of Ron, especially here, but you should knock off the misogynist language.
shareI agree. Out of all people why would Ron act like that? Really didn't grasp that part. Ron telling Harry to "piss off" was extremely pointless.
And why would people make fun of Harry anyway? According to them, he put himself in danger. So it's his loss. Why make fun of someone endangering their life? And "Potter stinks"? Really? Is that even in the book? These are insults that 8 year olds would make.
