Ron Weasley is Harry's best friend who comes from a large chaotic family which is simply the best! Ron is the only one of the three to have been raised in the wizarding world, and so has knowledge of customs and practises unknown to Harry and Hermione.  He is a true best friend, loyal and steadfast and willing to go along with whatever his friends think is right, often against his natural instincts. 'Why does it have to be follow the spiders... why couldn't it be follow the butterflies?'
