Harry Potter’s best friend Ron has the surname Weasley.
Ron Weasley meets Harry on the Hogwarts Express in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. He becomes one of Harry’s closest friends, alongside Hermione Granger. Ron is the sixth child of Arthur and Molly Weasley and grows up in a large wizarding family known for its red hair and close relationships.
The Weasley family includes Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny. Fred and George become entrepreneurs, while Ginny later becomes an accomplished Quidditch player. The family’s home, the Burrow, is one of the series’ recurring locations.
Readers sometimes confuse Ron’s surname with Hermione’s because the two characters become a couple later in the story. Hermione’s surname is Granger. Neville’s is Longbottom, and Cedric’s is Diggory. Ron remains Harry’s friend throughout the central seven-book narrative.
