I hear ya -- i DO hope Kloves/director#3 will expand a bit on 
Ron/Rupert.  I understand that the nature of cinema makes it so a 
complex book character requires some "shaving down" in order to make 
the transition to screen...but I still cringe - as many of us do - 
when poor Ron is reduced to mugging.  Rupert showed brilliantly in 
POA that he was capable of some really first-rate comedy and 
subtlety -- i'm sure he could pull off angry_that_he's_poor!Ron just 
as well.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but since we are on the 
topic of Ron being typecast as funny sidekick, this reminded me that 
Harrison Ford was also the "funny sidekick-type" of the Star Wars 
films...now you can't tell me that he didn't make a pretty good 
career after SW!!!
