Look, it’s always you who gets all the attention, you know it is. I know it’s not your fault. I know you don’t ask for it…but—well—you know, Ron’s got all those brothers to compete against at home, and you’re his best friend, and you’re really famous—he’s always shunted to one side whenever people see you, and he puts up with it, and he never mentions it, but I suppose this is just one time too many…

Hermione Granger understood this; it was such a big part of Ron’s character and a valid explanation for some of his behavior. And I hate that it was left out of the films. (via anondracomalfoy)
