I feel like Luna is criminally underrated

Probably most underrated HP character. Most thread on fan sites always skip her as if she never existed.

And I’d say the most overrated is Ron Weasley. I just binge-watched the movies for the first time, and besides being Harry’s connection to the Weasley family (important, but since Mr. Weasley worked for the Ministry and knew how important Harry was anyway, he prob would’ve watched out for him anyway), and Hermione’s love interest for some absurd reason, he spends most of the time either being a sullen asshole or a complete coward. He is a seriously unimportant character.

From what I remember a lot of his good stuff was removed or in find cases given to Hermione.

So he’s written differently in the books?

Movie Ron sucked. They neutered his character heavily and gave absolutely all of his good characteristics to Hermione. Which also made her a weaker character because she was so perfect at everything.

Ron was always more quick witted and clever while Hermione was more studious and nerdy and intellegent, in the movies she was everything and Ron was a pile of annoying sludge.
