@SultanUlHaq1989 @NickTheSerene @ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer Again, what utter bullshit! He had ample reason to be insecure. You realize he was like 17 at the time of DH. How many emotionally mature 17 years olds do you know. And yes, he did save Hermione. And yes, then Dobby saved all of them. A

@srt1205 @NickTheSerene @ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer His upbringing is no excuse for him being insecure. By that time in the series it should have been clear to him that he had no reason to be insecure. He came back? He should never have left. He didn’t save Hermione, Dobby did. Ron’s redemption should have come with him dying.

I used to think this too until I re-read the books. The movies failed to capture Ron’s intelligence and charm. Hermione, an only child from a muggle family, would be drawn to the large, magical Weasley family. She also is not meant to be drop-dead gorgeous like Emma Watson, and Ron is supposed to be very tall and become quite attractive. Her relationship with Ron is a slow burn, but it makes complete sense.

@yourguyry5150 @Hezbolsonaro Vernon was never funny. The only humor we get from him is him getting intimidated by Hagrid, Dumbledore, then Moody.

@Hezbolsonaro Relax it’s generally a good thing that fat = funny isn’t the formula anymore

Of all the casting choices in this adaptation, turning the big fat guy into Gary Oldman’s Commissioner Gordon has to be the weirdest

@SultanUlHaq1989 @NickTheSerene @ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer What rubbish! He was insecure for a good reason due to his upbringing, and the books showed that. It’s called being human. He also came back and saved Harry, and then later saved Hermione at Malfoy Manor from certain death.

@srt1205 @NickTheSerene @ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer He was an insecure loser who ran away during the Horcrux search and abandoned his friends. That should have been enough for Hermione to discard him as a long term partner. Terrible writing by JKR.

@NickTheSerene @ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer Ron was never Joe average. The guy went on to become an Auror. Was a prefect from Gryffindor over all other guys in his year, even if you overlook Harry. And he was very knowledgeably about Wizarding things in ways even Hermione didn’t know.

@ChrisCarranza @iWomansplainer The author is free to craft the story they wish to. It never made any sense to me that a brilliant, driven girl like Hermione would find joe average Ron attractive. The man had no skills. Similarly Harry with Ginny never made sense to me.

@thattugglife I will say I was never completely sold on the Harry/Ginny romance in the books at well, but Ron and Hermione were the OG and it was obvious they were going to end up together by GoF. That is

The biggest fail from the movie adaptations was treating Ron & Ginny the way they did so now we have these “movie fans” convinced Harry/Hermione need to happen when it absolutely does not. I will never forgive them for it.

@postmaster_ron @us4ama_k @fuiprahogwarts Yeah, I disagree here. He was given nothing to do there. I think he was terrific in the scene in DH1 where he and Harry fight. Never had an issue with his acting when he actually got the material.

@us4ama_k @srt1205 @fuiprahogwarts It became more prominent in the later films where more emotion and greater range was needed. Once he pointed out how Rupert acted during the scene where Bellatrix was torturing Hermione it really clicked for me.

"They sat by the hour eating anything they could spear on a toasting fork — bread, English muffins, marshmallows — and plotting ways of getting Malfoy expelled, which were fun to talk about even if they wouldn’t work." — Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, ch 12.

@postmaster_ron @us4ama_k @fuiprahogwarts I think that’s a load of nonsense! Rupert was really good. Beto don’t buy the argument of Rupert being weaker at all. He was the best of the three at the beginning. They just pigeonholed him as comic relief and never gave him the big dramatic scenes he has in the book.

@us4ama_k @srt1205 @fuiprahogwarts This video makes the argument that a lot of what happened is that Rupert Grint was a weaker actor that the other members of the trio. I think this makes a lot of sense. youtu.be/Ws4l3yTuchM?si…

@mostcallmejim @thehighreeves Well, it’s not really a race he’s against. Which is why I was making that distinction. But you have the idea.

@srt1205 @thehighreeves Not basically, he is wizard racist

i’m not saying anything

@postmaster_ron @fuiprahogwarts I do think they did that in the first few movies. It’s just that Steve Kloves got Hermione obsessed POA onwards.

@fuiprahogwarts If there is one major weakness of the films that they can improve, it’s making Ron really feel like Harry’s best buddy.

@JaylynPalmer @thehighreeves No. I really don’t think I will. It all falls into the same bad boy turned good trope and the usually bi-product is the need to bastardize other characters like Ron. But anyways, I don’t begrudge fanfiction. I just don’t like fanfiction ideas becoming mainstream.

@Rajiv1841 Starc's got a history of being iffy at the IPL. Cummins has probably been one of the most dedicated Aussie IPL players, which is why he was given the captaincy. Hazelwood has major injury history with the IPL.

Josh Hazlewood & Pat Cummins are injured with no availability for initial phase of IPL & still they made it to their respective teams before start of IPL. On other hand, Mitchell Starc who is completely fit & resting ever since Ashes in January is not available for DC. Lol!

@CricketPulse17 @ImYorker93 Did you somehow miss WTC final 2025?

@ImYorker93 He doesn't shit on his pants in the WTC FINAL LIKE YOUR LASSI!🤡

Meet Hazlewood: Skipped the T20 Series vs. India Skipped the Ashes Rivalry Skipped the T20 World Cup But arrived 3 days before in India to play for his criminal franchise, Imagine the hate from Rcb fans if Bumrah had done the same. 🤡

@mufaddal_vohra Has he got the all clear to play? Because it was reported everywhere that he’s not going to be available initially.

🚨 JOSH HAZLEWOOD HAS ARRIVED IN INDIA. 🚨 - A great news for RCB and RCB fans.

@CricCrazyJohns He’s arrived, but does he have sign off to play?

🚨 JOSH HAZLEWOOD HAS ARRIVED IN INDIA FOR IPL 2026 🚨 - Great news for RCB fans.

@Gargix0x @Zaffar_Nama Showed a single, not multiple, ISI agent helping India, and she clearly went against her agency and military leaders of her country. And they literally mention how she would be hunted by her own country once she helped Pathaan.

@Zaffar_Nama Pathaan showing ISI agents fighting to save India is the dumbest, most spineless shit Bollywood has ever shat out. Romanticizing the terror factory that bombs our cities while painting RAW as villains? Cultural suicide with item songs. Pure national embarrassment 🤡

All three of them are Pakistanis but why the Indians only love and care for Yalina Jamali? Yalina didn't even fight terrorism alongside India.

@DanFriedman81 There is no serious book reader of HP that can legitimately say Harry and Hermione should end up together. We are in Harry's minds in the books and he clearly doesn't have an ounce of romantic attachment to Hermione. I curse Steve Kloves for how he damaged Ron and Hermione.

Harry spent seven entire books going after every other girl at Hogwarts while never expressing the slightest interest in Hermione. Harry literally has more chemistry with Myrtle the toilet ghost than he does with Hermione. But Ron was infatuated from the moment he laid eyes on her. Did you not read “Goblet of Fire”? Ron was playing mind games with Hermione by not asking her to the Yule Ball and then Victor Krum asked her first, and she accepted, and Ron absolutely lost his mind. Then Ron and Harry asked Parma and Parvati but completely ignored them at the dance because Harry was obsessed with Cho Chang and Ron was obsessed with Hermione. The entire Black Lake challenge was about Harry and Ron being cucked, because Cedric was sent to rescue Cho, Krum was sent to rescue Hermione, and Ron had to be rescued and Harry had to rescue Ron. Also, in “Order of the Phoenix,” Rita Skeeter wrote in the Daily Prophet that Hermione was Harry’s girlfriend and Harry was icked out while Ron was jealous and furious. If you were shipping Harry with Hermione, that is your fault, because it was never once implied by the source material. Ron and Hermione ending up together is their whole seven-book arc.

@blossom_weasley Hopefully they re-habilitate the character. Steve Kloves did so much damage to the character, and frankly to Hermione too by making Ron pure comic relief and making Hermione the ultimate Mary Sue.

THIS BABY IS 5 MINS OLD PROTECT HIM TO ALL COSTS

@Zvbear 8 weeks is under 2 months, but it would cool if they moved it up so the Christmastime episode coincides with Christmas.

This looks good but 90% of people watch Harry Potter during the winter and when those winter Hogwarts episodes come out it will already be Spring

@likesocrucial @Danimalish But that’s just it. This is not aimed at that audience. It’s basically aimed at the children of the audience of the OG HP movies who will grow up with the characters on the show.

@Danimalish The original cast grew up with us. You can’t schedule that. You can’t audition for "nostalgia." This new series is just a 10-year-long reminder that the industry has officially run out of imagination #HarryPotter

What made the HARRY POTTER films so magical and special was how each one matured cinematically, virtually in rhythm with the performers and the audience. I'm not sure how to replicate that with a series that already appears to have matured.
