Would Ron betray his family for Harry?

What do you think...

[jedimaster193]

I don't think it would come to that.

[Classical_Wizar]

maybe Who is most likely to betray Harry in the end?

I do not see anything in Ron's family behavior that would give any sugestion Ron need to choose between Harry and his family. exept Percy, whole Weasley's family is on the side of Order.. so what's the point?

[Lord Nicholai]

Harry could be considered a member of the family. Its like asking which of your siblings youd allow to die.

[DayVirgo]

Harry pretty much is a member of Ron's family. Molly treats him like another son and Harry has spent plenty of time there. I think they have told the both of them to be careful and maybe have even told Ron about why Harry should be protected. Ron may get upset at Harry for stupid reasons, but not a reason large enough in order to all out risk his life or betray the rest of his family.

[Barbara Kennedy]

I'm not entirely sure what you meant by your question, but no Ron won't betray Harry or his family, not willingly anyway.

[Lord Nicholai]

the gist of the thread is, from what i can see, who would Ron choose...family or friend

[red_fairy]

I think that Harry is one of the family now. I don't think that the choice would be Rons. I think that if it happened, it would be for Harry to surrender himself or Voldemort and the death eaters will kill a member of the Weasley family. Voldemort knows how much the Weasleys and Harry care about each other and he also knows how Harry likes to play the hero.

I don’t think that Ron will come in a situation were he has to choose between his family or his best friend Ron and his family(except Percy) + Harry are on the same side.

[fleur magique]

Ron would never have to choose Harry over his family. His family believes Harry and would never turn thier backs on him. They consider Harry part of thier family too.

[fanofpotter]

I'm not sure I really understand the question. What do you know that I don't!

I don't think there will be a situation arising where Ron would have to choose Harry over his family, or vice versa.

[busy91]

Ron is a loyal friend but I don't think it is in his character to betray his family.

[Lord Nicholai]

If Ron were put into that situation, hed choose himself, or wouldnt choose at all.

[Dementor Dave]

In Ron's mind I don't think there is enough distinction to seperate Harry from the rest of his family. so the short answer is no. Since the two are roughly equivalent, then there cannot be ant betrayal.

[Da_Chinkster]

I dont ever think a situation would arise for this question to be asked. I think betrayal is too strong a word. Say for instance when Ron was told not to be part of the DA, I wouldnt call that betrayal. To me if Ron betrayed his family he would betray Harry at the same time

[Lucca]

I also agree and hope that it probably wouldn't come to that. That would be horrible!

Thankfully, there isn't any evidence that I can recall at the moment to indicate that it will take place.
One thing I've noticed is that there is nearly always evidence for what a character believes if you have to deal with him for any real length of the book or series. There is a little bit of evidence pointing towards Percy's behavior in book five all throughout the first four. One example of this in book two is when Ron said to Harry in Diagon Alley that Percy wanted to become Minister of Magic after they found him reading Prefects who Gained Power.

[MagicianGirl]

Why would Ron betray his family for Harry? Are the Weasley's Harry's enemy? Harry and the Weasleys (with the exception of Percy) are fighting the same cause. Harry's problems are also the Weasley's problem. His fights are their fights. It will be hard for Ron to betray a family who supports the same person (Harry) he support.

[bogus1017]

But Ron does like sacrificing himself. Remember in SS, in the chess game? Well a situation could occur, and something else like that could happen.

[azkaban]

i totally agree with offca. why would ron have to choose between his family and harry? it's not like they're on different sides, right? after all, ron isn't in sirius' position. i mean, sirius was harry's father's best friend and i believe he'd definitely betray his family for james but that's because his family was kinda a supporter of the Dark Side. But it's not the same with Ron, his mother thinks of harry as her own son so i don't see the point why ron will need to choose between them.

[accioinsight7]

He already has...at least at certain points, mainly with Percy. I also don't think it will come to that.
He would obviously stand up for Harry rather than Percy, but the chance of it coming to him standing against his entire family, I doubt that is a possibility, so this is pure speculation on what we know about Ron's character.
The Tri-Wizard Tournament, and the glory that is involved, is enough to break Ron from Harry, but I think their friendship is now as strong as could possibly be expected. I think Ron and Harry are now inseparable, and that if by some strange chance, Ron had to stand against his family with Harry, that he would.

[grrliz]

I don't think the incident with Percy really counts as betrayal though, because Percy had already betrayed his own family by siding with the Ministry instead of the Order. Can you betray a betrayer? But, save Percy, the Weasleys are all on the same side as Harry and are unlikely to be in a position where Ron would have to betray them to save Harry.

[Wep]

I don't think he will need to betray his family...I think, besides Percy, the Weasley's fully support Harry. But if he had to, I hope he would....

[simmarina]

why would he to .

[McBeth]

I'd be really, really surprised. Some of his "heart's deepest desire" has already come true (prefect, playing on Gryffindor quidditch team), so I don't know what he could be tempted with. He's also quite loyal, so, no, I don't see Ron betraying Harry or his family anytime in the series.

[enid]

What I want to know is...Would Ron's family betray Ron for Harry? :rotfl: That senerio is only slightly more likely.

[LuvHP_001]

:wow: :wow: :wow:!!!! Oh,no you don't! Ron loves his family (even percy) VERY,VERY much and Harry is a valuable friend and brother to him (he's part of the family) and he would NEVER betray neither of them. He is such a noble and good person that he would rather DIE in the process,he's no wormtail!

[AsKPeeVes]

What I want to know is...Would Ron's family betray Ron for Harry? :rotfl: That senerio is only slightly more likely.

HA HA OMG thats hilarious (mrs.weasley te he)?!?!

[Spirit]

Well, I don't see why Ron would have to choose, but I think that Ron would betray Harry for his family, yes. He wouldn't want to betray either of them, but I think that if he had to choose, he would choose his family.

[crumseekerlynch]

I don't think so, Harry is just one person and only Rons friend while Rons family is a lot of people and his family. I don't see a situation where he would have to make the choice, I'd think it would be the other way around.

[hpfan_08]

Ron betray Harry:lol:, that'll never happen. Ron would betray his own mother for Harry. So would Ginny, Fred and George. (Granted that its a good reason and that Harry is right.) Truthfully I can't see a single Weasley betraying Harry. In my mind Percy is not a Weasley, but a disgrace.

[aggiefan1206]

That would be hard but i would have to say yes. Harry , Ron, and Hermione are in a way insepearable in my opinion. Since the troll incedent even though they have those little arguments you can tell that they are all friends and mabe some more so then others. Ron is harrys best friend and visa versa they would do anything for each other. I dont think rons family would ever not want to take of harry. The Weasleys are all fond of harry and unless under the imperous curse or somthing i dont see any change.

[Joyce13]

First, Harry is practically a member of the Weasley family. So really it would be Harry having to choose between the Weasleys and something else. Ron would probably not have to choose between Harry and his family. Well, if Ron had to choose between Harry and Percy, he'd pick Harry. Yeah, blood is supposed to be thicker than water, but with Percy turning his back on the family, you get what I mean.

[WowImBored1418]

I don't think it will come to that. If you mean would Ron sacrifice himself for Harry? Yes, absolutely! But would that be a betrayal of his family? I don't think that would, because every member of the family has already expressed that they would each sacrifice themselves for Harry, so I seriously doubt it would ever come to that.
