Ron Weasley

That's me. Ron Weasley, Harry Potter's stupid friend.

Ron Weasley

This is mad. At this rate, we'll be the only ones in our year without dates.

Ron Weasley
[after failing to ask out Fleur Delacour]

There she was, walking by. You know how I like it when they walk. I couldn't help it. It just sort of slipped out.

Ron Weasley
[Harry's name has appeared out of The Goblet of Fire making him a Triwizard Champion, making him bitter with jealousy; to Harry]

How did you do it? Never mind, doesn't matter. But you should've let your best friend know though.

Ron Weasley
[Discussing Krum at the World Cup]

There's no one like Krum!

Fred/George

Krum?! Dumb Krum?!

Ron Weasley

He's like a bird the way he rides the wind!

Ron Weasley

He's more than an athlete, he's an artist!

I think you're in love, Ron!

Ron Weasley

Shut up Ginny!

Fred/George
[Singing]

: Viktor I love you! Viktor I do-

Others
[Begin to sing as well]

When we're apart, my heart beats only for you....

[Professor Moody's first lesson]

Alastor Moody. [Writes his name on the board] Ex-auror, Ministry malcontent... and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I'm here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, good-bye, the end. Any questions? [No one raises their hand] When it comes to the Dark Arts, I believe in a practical approach. But first, who can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?

Three, sir.

[Writes "Unforgiveable" on a blackboard]

And they are so named?

Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will...

Earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. Correct! The Ministry of Magic says you're too young to see what these curses do. I say different. You need to know what you're up against! You need to be prepared! [Seamus takes some gum out and puts it under his desk] You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the under-side of your desk, Mr. Finnegan!

Seamus Finnegan
[Whispering]

No way. The old codger can see in the back of his head.

[Throws the piece of chalk at Seamus]

AND HEAR ACROSS CLASSROOMS!! Now, which curse shall we see first? WEASLEY!!!

Ron

Yes!?

Stand! Give us a curse.

Ron

Well, my dad did tell me about one. The Imperius Curse.

Oh, yeah. Your father would know all about that. Gave the Ministry a bit of grief a few years ago. Perhaps this will show you why.

Ron

I reckon you'd have to be barking mad to put your name in the Goblet of Fire.

Caught on, have you? Took you long enough.

Ron

Well, I'm the not only who thought you'd done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back.

[Harry glares around the room; the others sheepishly avoid his eyes] [sarcastic]

Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better.

Ron

Least I warned you about the dragons.

Hagrid warned me about the dragons.

Ron

No, no, no. I did. No, don't you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you, Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we'd be all right, you know, after you'd figured that out.

... Who? Who could possibly figure that out? That's completely mental.

Ron

Yeah. Isn't it? I suppose I was a bit distraught.

Boys.

[About the Yule Ball]

Inside every girl, a secret swan slumbers, longing to burst forth and take flight.

Ron Weasley
[To Seamus]

Something's about to burst out of Eloise Midgen, but I don't think it's a swan.

Ron

What are those!? What are those?

My dress robes.

Ron

Well they're all right! No lace, no dodgy little collar...

Well, I expect yours are more... traditional—
Ron Traditional?! They're ancient! I look like my great aunt Tessie. [sniffs clothing in armpit area] I smell like my great aunt Tessie!

Ron
(Talking about Krum at the Yule Ball)

He’s using you.

How dare you! Besides, I can take care of myself.

Ron

Doubt it, he’s way too old.

What? Is that what you think?

Ron

Yeah, that’s what I think!

You know the solution then, don’t you?

Ron

Go on.

Next time there’s a ball, pluck up the courage and ask me before somebody else does, and not as a last resort!

Ron
[backs away]

Well... that-that-that... that’s just completely off the point... Harry!

Where have you been? Never mind. Off to bed, both of you! [Harry looks at Ron]

What's wrong?

Ron

They get scary when they get older.

Ron you spoiled everything!

[Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys leave the Burrow and walk into the woods with Arthur leading them]

Ron, where are we actually going?

Ron

Don't know. Hey, Dad! Where are we going?

Arthur

Haven't the foggiest. Keep up!

Amos
[They meet up with Amos Diggory]

Arthur! It's about time, son.

Arthur

Sorry, Amos. Some of us had a bit of a sleepy start. [Ron yawns] This is Amos Diggory, everyone. Works with me at the Ministry. [Cedric, Amos' son, drops down from a tree] And this strapping young lad must be Cedric, am I right?

Cedric
[shakes hands with him]

Yes, sir. This way.

Amos
[surprised when he meets Harry for the first time]

Merlin's beard! You must be Harry Potter.

Yes, sir.

Amos
[as he and Harry shake hands; honored]

Great, great pleasure.

Pleasure to meet you too, sir.

Amos
[The group walks toward a portkey in a grassy slope]

Yes, it's, uh, just over there.

Arthur

Shall we?

Amos

Oh, yeah.

Arthur

We don't wanna be late.

Amos

Come on. Nearly there now. Get yourself into a good position.

Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?

That isn't just any manky old boot, mate.

George

It's a Portkey.

Arthur

Time to go!

What's a Portkey?

Ron
[Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys walk up to the Top Box of the Quidditch World Cup stadium]

Blimey, Dad! How far up are we?

Lucius
[Standing below them]

Well, put it this way. If it rains, you'll be the first to know.

Draco

Father and I are in the Minister's box. A personal invitation from Cornelius Fudge himself!

Lucius

Don't boast, Draco. [Nudges him with his stick] There is no need with these people. [to Harry, while he pins his sweatshirt to a banister with his silver-snake-metal walking stick] Do enjoy yourself, won't you? While you can.

Trolley Lady
[Aboard the Hogwarts Express… Hermione is reading article on the Daily Prophet about the Death Eater attack and the conjuring of the Dark Mark with the headline reading: "Terror at the Quidditch World Cup" before Trolley Lady approaches the trio's compartment, pushing a trolley of sweets]

Anything from the trolley, dears?

Ron

Packet of Drooble's and a Licorice Wand. [then changes his mind] On second thought, just the Drooble's.

It's all right, I'll get it. Don't worry.

Ron

Just the Drooble's. Thanks.

Cho
[appearing with two other girls]

Two Pumpkin Pasties, please. [Harry looks at her and she smiles shyly at him as the Trolley Lady gives her the Pumpkin Pasties] Thank you.

Trolley Lady
[to Harry]

Anything sweet for you, dear?

Oh, no, I'm not hungry. Thank you. [sits back down in the compartment]

This is horrible. How can the Ministry not know who conjured it? Isn't there any security or…?

Ron

Loads, according to Dad. That's what worried them so much. Happened right under their noses.

Ron

Brilliant, isn't he! Completely demented of course. Terrifying to be in the same room with, he's really BEEN there, ya know?

There's a reason those curses are unforgivable, and to perform them in a classroom. I mean did you see Neville's face?

Ron
[Nigel offers Ron a parcel that was being delivered from his mother]

Oh, look, Mum sent me something. [unwraps the parcel and opens it, revealing a hideous brown garment] Mum sent me dress.

Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet? [pulls out a white bonnet from the parcel] Aha!

Ron

Nose down, Harry. [walks over to Ginny] Ginny, these must be for you.

I'm not wearing that. It's ghastly.

Ron
[to Hermione as she giggles]

What are you on about?

They're not for Ginny. They're for you. [Fred, George, and other Gryffindors laugh] Dress robes.

Ron

Dress robes? For what?

It's okay, Ron. It's all right. It-It doesn't matter.

What happened to you?

He just asked Fleur Delacour out. [sets Ron down on the chair]

What?!

What did she say?

No, of course. [Ron groans as he shakes his head; puts her hands on her mouth, shocked] She said yes?

Ron

Don't be silly. There she was, walking by. You know how I like it when they walk. I couldn't help it. It just sort of slipped out.

Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.

And what did you do then?

Ron

What else? I ran for it. I'm not cut out for this, Harry. I don't know what got into me.

Pavariti & Padma
[walking past]

Hi, Harry.

Ron

I've always liked looking at them from behind. Oh, she's never gonna forgive me, ever.

[runs after the Patil sisters]

Hey.

Fleur
[Harry has been given a towel to dry up after saving both Ron and Fleur's sister, Gabrielle] [rushing up to Harry with her sister]

You saved her, even though she was not yours to save. My little sister. Thank you! [kisses Harry on both cheeks before turning to Ron] And you, you helped.

Ron

Well, yeah, a bit. [Fleur kisses Ron on both cheeks as well] Merci.

Ron
[Last lines; The students of Hogwarts say farewell to the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang schools as they depart, while Harry, Ron, and Hermione watch from the side]

Do you think we'll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?

Ron

Yeah, I didn't think so. Oh, well, what's life without a few dragons?

Everything's going to change now, isn't it?

Yes.

Promise you'll write this summer, both of you.

Ron

Oh, I won't. You know I won't.

Harry will, won't you?

[sarcastically]

Yeah, every week.
[Smiling, arm in arm, the three friends hurry outside to see off the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang schools]
