His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
In General[]
- While it can be argued that Harry did more heroism than him with similar resources, Ron was by Harry's side in almost every single crusade of him, and had unique heroism moments, namely sacrificing himself in the Chess game, destroying Slytherin's locket, possibilitating the destruction of Hufflepuff's cup and making the other remember the House Elves at the kitchen, thus being responsible for their salvation, making him slightly above the in-story standards.
- Despite often coming in odds and arguing with them (specially Percy) he couldn't love his family more, often is seen worried about them, have fun with them, and sometimes is even a little too overprotective with his sister, Ginny.
- He is genuinely nice and polite to people around him.
Philosopher's Stone[]
- He made friends with Harry immediately after meeting him.
- Helped Harry as he was discovering the Wizarding World.
- Saved Hermione from a troll, despite abhorring her, by using the Wingardium Leviosa spell to levitate his own stick and knock him out.
- Although he was extremely jerkish towards Hermione, this ends after the Troll incident, and they become friends.
- Stood up to Malfoy during a Quidditch game, after he insulted both Ron's family and Neville Longbottom, followed by Neville.

- He and Harry disguised themselves as Crabbe and Goyle to infiltrate in the Slyrherin common-room and gather more information about the Heir of Slyhterin.

Goblet of Fire[]
- Invited Harry to see the World Quidditch Championship with him and his family.

- Warned (though indirectly) to Harry that the First Trial would involve Dragons.
- Tried to help Harry find out something to allow him to breath underwater.
- Totally trustable of his friend, he believed Voldemort was back.
Order of the Phoenix[]
- Didn't want to leave Harry in the dark and would've sent letters to him if Dumbledore didn't strictly make him and Hermione not to do it.
- Despite feeling tempted to abuse of his power as prefect similar to Malfoy, he still tried to do his duty at least fairly, mainly thanks to Hermione's advice.
- Believed Voldemort was back all the way around and defended Harry whenever the subject caused controversy at school.
- He was a member (one of the first and most devoted ones) of Dumbledore's Army, where he and other students would practice defensive magic, out of the sight of the dictatorial High Inquisitor of Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge.
- He was the one to free himself, Ginny, Luna and Neville from Umbridge's Inquisitorial Army (Movie only).

- Infiltrated the Ministry of Magic with them to retrieve Slytherin's locket.
- Although he acted extremely mean towards Harry and Hermione after they got the Locket, it is stated that immediately after he departed from them, and consequently, away from the Locket, he felt remorse and tried to get back to them, showing it was more of a corruption from the locket than anything from him.
- Saved Harry from drowning and retrieved the Gryffindor's Sword out of the lake/well.
- Destroyed Slytherin's Locket, even fighting his own insecurities the Locket was using against him, to do it.

- He got so traumatized over Hermione being tortured by Bellatrix, that his Boggart, which used to be a spider, became her being tortured.
- Helped breaking into Gringotts and escaping it.
- Although it was Hermione that broke Hufflepuff's Cup, it was his idea to go to the Chamber of Secrets and use the dead Basilisk's tooth, making him responsible for the destruction of this Horcrux too.
- He realized they had to save all house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen, even though he, like most wizards, usually thought of them only as workers (though Ron never abused any of them), which makes Hermione, an activist of rights for the House-elves, so happy that she kisses him.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He can act pretty rudely or as a jerk sometimes, though it's been a little less in later installments.
- He has problems controlling his anger, sometimes getting too wrathful over something, despite most of his rage moments being at least justified due to it being him reacting to an injustice, such as Malfoy's bullying or Hermione denying Crookshanks trying to kill Scrabbers.
- He is shown not to be above cheating, as he approved Harry's usage of the Half-blood Prince book at Potions class, even wishing he found the book instead, and drinking a bit of Felix Felicis before a Quidditch game (though it actually wasn't Felix Felicis in the end).
