I was confused when I read these past two emails.  I reread the books 
recently, and I got the same humourous charming vibe from Ron in the books 
as I tend to do when I watch the movies.  Then again, all three of the 
heroes have some humourous memorable lines.  I can't agree that Ron's 
character is a "joke" in the movies.  He contributes the innocent spectrum 
of the Weasley family (with Fred and George being the "joke" of the books 
and movies, but I treasure that since they're two of my favourite 
characters).
