Ron is a young red-haired boy who is roughly the same age as Harry and Hermione. Ron is tall and gangly with bright red hair and freckles. Ron has a way of keeping things light-hearted that makes him well-liked, despite occasional angry outbursts.
Ron is the sixth child from a large pure-blood family of wizards. Together with Hermione, they will face many challenges in many adventures such as keeping the Philosopher's Stone from Professor Quirinus Quirrell, rescuing Ginny from the Basilisk of the Chamber of Secrets or saving Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, from the Dementors of Azkaban.
Although he often shows his fear, Ron can certainly be courageous when it matters the most. He is somewhat shy and nervous, but on many occasions, though, he is a natural jokester, full of happiness and wit, and this is a cheerful characteristic that seems to run in the family. He is obviously not as hardworking as Hermione.
