Can we just talk about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 19: “The Silver Doe”?
Can we just talk about how one of Ron’s biggest fears was not being loved as much as his siblings and his best friend?
Can we just talk about how Ron was totally convinced that Harry and Hermione were together and got along just fine without him?
Can we just talk about how Ron cried after he smashed the locket that was showing him his biggest fears, which included seeing Hermione with Harry?
Can we just talk about how Harry talked him through it and assured him that he loved Hermione like a sister and nothing more?
Can we just talk about the fact that Harry told Ron that after he left, Hermione cried all the time and barely spoke at all?
The Silver Doe is such an important chapter and the movie did not do justice to it.

All of this is vital and central to the Malfoy Manor scene. Ron and Harry’s growth were why Ron could trust Harry to get out for himself. Harry could trust that Ron would rescue Hermione while he was trying to get away.
Trust, ladies and gentlemen. Harry needed it. Ron proved it, “by saving my life, getting the sword, destroying the Horcrux.”
“You make it sound alot more exciting than it is.”
“I’ve been trying to tell you that for years.”
