Ron Weasley is awesome…
1. Because he knows he’s not perfect.
2. Because he’d do anything for his friends. Like literally he’d walk through hell for them.

20. He also overcame his prejudice towards werewolves in a very short time, volunteering to tie himself to Pettigrew and Lupin
21. Thought it was weird his best friend wasn’t answering his letters, knew he lived in an abusive home, and asked his brothers to help rescue him in an illegal flying car
22. He’s usually the first in line to support Harry in everything, even if it means extreme danger (”We’re with you whatever happens”)
23. Pushed Harry out of the way when he thought Padfoot was going to jump at Harry, getting himself dragged and his leg broken and he never complained about it

26. Because although the Horcrux tormented him enough and made him leave he took all the blame on himself when he returned.
27. Because no matter how the movies portrayed it, he fought with Harry in the tent as he thought that Harry was mocking the dangers Ginny was facing in school. He was worried about his sister for Christ sake!!!
