Behold The Greatest Iron Man Adventure of All Time

This is going to be the best thing ever.I also just learned that there is a famous comic artist who is just named "Jason." I don't care how unpronounceable your Nordic name is with it's crazy blendo-vowels, you can not be a one-named person and that one name is "Jason." That only works for hockey masked guys, and even he has a last name

Ron provides an insider's perspective on and knowledge of the wizard community. The other two central characters, Harry and Hermione, have spent their lives living non-magically, and thus are frequently confused by weird wizard terms and the role of magic in wizard technology, etc - stuff that someone who's spent their life around, like Ron, takes for granted and can explain quickly and efficiently. It moves the story along and allows for a lot of the whimsy and magical references that make the stories work to, um... work.

Ron is disappointing as a character, but still valuable as a storytelling device.

I guess that only counts for one thing, though.

He also has parents who are nice to Harry, thus giving Harry something like a healthy family life.

Beyond that, I got nothin'.

Mmm...Ron is more the everyman that follows Harry around, I think, than someone who's supposed to be All That. He's very, very human.

Plus what Laura said.

Broadbent is the only reason I want to see the movie. He is awesome in everything he touches.

I loved the third movie - you should see that one for Gary Oldman - but the others have me shrugging. And I agree about Ron. They just...well, for the sake of necessity and brevity I guess they pull out the Potter-centric stuff and make the other characters a little less well-rounded than in the books.
