Things that really should have been in the Harry Potter films
-Hermione actually having bushy hair and large front teeth
-Ron making the jokes, not being the joke.
-Hermione having personality flaws
-Sassy Harry (the ‘pincers’ scene was not enough…)
-Rupert Grint being allowed to play Ron how he was in the books (i.e a three-dimensional character, not a comedic sidekick and walking punch-line)
-No-one else but Hermione fancying Gilderoy Lockhart.
-Ron’s obvious irritation over Hermione’s said crush on Lockhart
-James, Sirius, Remus and Peter being the Marauders, and making the map
-Ron standing up on a broken leg and telling Sirius that if ‘you want to kill Harry, you’ll have to kill us too!’
-Hermione and Ginny not fancying Cedric Diggory (Why was this even put in the films?)
-The actual Quidditch World Cup final
-Ron being upset with Harry because he thought Harry had done it without him, not just because he was jealous
-Ron not leaving Hermione crying on the staircase at the end of the Yule Ball
-Ron not saying ‘I’ll go easy on you’ to Hermione. (Noticing a pattern here?)
-Ginny Weasley having a personality (Bonnie Wright, you deserved so much better…)
-Hermione and Ron both being horrible to each-other during the whole ‘Lavender’ debacle.
-Four words- ‘Weasley is our king’.
-Harry and Ginny having a relationship that didn’t make you wonder whether she slipped him love potion. These scenes were so weird to watch…
-Ron and Hermione comforting each-other during the funeral
-Both Ron and Hermione saying they would stick with Harry on his quest for the Horcruxes (I don’t care if Rupert Grint was ill with swine flu when they were filming, they could have easily edited him in later!)
-RON DANCING WITH HERMIONE AT BILL AND FLEUR’S WEDDING RECEPTION! This was a massive deal for their relationship development, and the film-makers threw it out the window in exchange for a ‘Ron still can’t ask Hermione to dance’ bit!
-Ron leaving because he was worried about his family, and thought Harry didn’t care, not just because he suspected Hermione was snogging Harry (FYI Kloves, this wouldn’t have been necessary if you had written the golden trio as they were in the books, instead of trying to force your own OTP into the scripts)
-Harry and Hermione being barely able to talk without Ron around. And no out-of-nowhere dancing either!
-Dobby being present in more than one film before he returned to die.
-Hermione finally kissing Ron because she realised how much he had matured as a person (he remembered the house-elves when everyone-else forgot), and realised that she couldn’t go another moment without letting him know how she felt. Not because they both go soaked in the chamber of secrets after destroying Hufflepuff’s cup (that scene made no sense, and was so uncomfortable to watch, and I’m a Romione shipper, for crying out loud!)
-Voldemort’s body not changing into magic dandruff and disappearing into nothing. This misses the point of his death entirely.
-Harry fixing his own wand with the Elder Wand. If he was going to break it, he could have at least fixed his own first.
-Not sure about this one, but did Ron even get a line in the ‘nineteen years later’ scene in the films? Because if he didn’t get to say his ‘I’m extremely famous’ line, I am throwing up on my laptop in rage.
-Also, Ronald Bilius Weasley getting some freaking RESPECT and NOT being made into a figure of fun for non-Potterheads to laugh at!
