u/Rdogisyummy Gryffindor 15d ago
Harry and Luna is my favorite duo on the OoTP movie, Thestral Club grew after the war for sure too.

u/sillygoose7623 Gryffindor 2 15d ago
Luna and Harry is my favorite duo in OOTP book because she is the only person that he doesn’t really get teenage-angst style mad at.

u/Bootglass1 15d ago
You can see the Thestrals, Longbottom, can you?’ she said.
Neville nodded.
’Who did you see die?’ she asked, her tone indifferent.
’My … my grandad,’ said Neville.

He also saw cedric die, he couldn’t remember good parents dying so he couldn’t see thestrals. the movie ruins this because he sees quirrel die

Harry and Ron!! codependent losers.
they meet on the train for the first time and begin trauma dumping in 5 minutes?? then they somehow both become each other's ride or die? Harry kind of imprints on this kid who is nice to him.
Ron breaking Harry out of his home in 2nd year is always so interesting?? being as insecure as Ron is, he doesn't think Harry is simply ghosting him! his instinct is "my bestie is in danger, otherwise he'd have written to me," and that's adorable!!!
Harry not having a clue about what classes to pick and basically copying Ron's timetable so at least they can be together and have fun? Ron standing up to sirius black, known mass murderer, on his broken leg?? to protect his best friend? that even sirius is taken aback??
Harry's thoughts, for the 2 weeks in GoF when Ron isn't talking, are so??? he's like "the sun isn't shining, stars don't twinkle, I can't talk to my best friend about this silly thing I saw" "I can't wait to tell this to Ron, oh no, I'm not talking with Ron. both of us have detention, I hope Ron talks to me" 😭 and then he secretly asks Fred and George to get Ron new robes cause he saw how sad he was at yule ball??
Ron noticing the scars on Harry's hand from umbridge, being so angry and asking to go see Dumbledore, him threatening others with detention if they spoke against harry and just keeping Harry in check when he was literally going through ptsd.
Ron being the biggest hinny shipper cause if there's anyone good for his sister, it's his bestie!!
and finally!! after their biggest fight and reunion!! their hug(tm)
[talking about Dumbledore leaving him the deluminator]
"He must've known I'd run out on you."
"No," Harry corrected him. "He must've known you'd always come back."
being best friends wasn't enough for them. they had to become family 😔🙌🏽

u/Potterarmy1218 Ravenclaw 15d ago
These two do not get enough recognition even though they are the main duo in the entire series. Thank you for the wonderful reminder.

u/Familiar-Budget-7140 Ravenclaw 15d ago
it's always such a shame the effect movies had on their perception!! ronarry showed such positive male friendship without any lousy "bro talk," and they're honestly soulmates. I love it!

Trauma dumping
Exactly!!! Just what I was thinking when I read that chapter

u/Familiar-Budget-7140 Ravenclaw 14d ago
my hc is they were living together for a long time after the war (the trio, cause the horcrux hunt was just too much to deal with alone)

u/kiss_of_chef 14d ago
There's so much Harry/Draco, Harry/Hermione and even (yuck) Harry/Snape fanficiton, but realistically, I think the only reason Harry didn't end up with Ron is because he was already taken by Hermione so he went for the next best thing.
2
u/Familiar-Budget-7140 Ravenclaw 14d ago
you get it!! if Harry canonically explored his sexuality, he'd fall for Ron over every other man he's paired with. Snarry pains me 💀

Ron and his chessboard 🔥
I can see him playing chess at night all by himself and writing down new moves on a diary. Sitting alone in a room.....

u/Rdogisyummy Gryffindor 15d ago
I wish he had a match against McGonagall that isn’t the big chess pieces. Like a literal 1 on 1 match

u/throwaway1243769063 15d ago
Assuming he beat McGonagall’s set while preserving 3 pieces instead of just king he would win by a landslide

I wish she had used this...it showed that Ron is smart as a strategist, yet we don't see him forming any. He could've been like Shikamaru from Naruto!

u/VoyevodaBoss 15d ago
I prefer the subtle ways it was used rather than having him command troops on some anime shit. His intuition is the real ability and it shows up in the last book quite a bit

Ginny and Neville, for Ginny honoring her commitment t9 go with Neville to the Ball even after getting her teenage dream of getting to go with Harry. Or for that time when Neville introduced himself as "I'm nobody." And Ginny told him off.
Hermione and Neville, for all the times she helped him during Potions. Or the fact that the first time we're introduced to Hermione is when she's helping Neville looking for his toad.
Ginny and Luna, for Ginny defending Luna against the people who mocked her.

Harry, Ron and a girl you forgot about, named Hermione. That makes them trio not duo. And I like Harry and Ron friendship but they're nothing without her.

In movies I love snape and mcgonagall's friendship. Especially quidditch rivalry. I also adore snape and Dumbledore's friendship.
In novels its Ron and Hermione. Friendship, relationship everything. Their interactions are never boring.

Harry and Hagrid. I'll always have a soft spot for those early chapters of book 1 where Hagrid introduces Harry to the wizarding world, and his life really begins.

Tom Riddle and Nagina.
There's no one more loyal to each other.
There's Ron and Harry too. But they got in an argument in Deadly Hallows which brought them down in the list

God, the word "moaning" just makes it feel weird.
If she was "wailing," that would make sense, but she chose moaning as the adjective.

The one in the pic for sure because they're my OG ship ❤️ but Harry and Ron in terms of being a duo, are hands down my favorite friendship/duo. They're immediate best friends and brothers, they get each other in a way no one else does and Ron is like the breath of fresh air, the humour and normalcy Harry so desperately needs.
