And, oh, yes, he gets to eat the love-potion-filled chocolates and declare his love for Romilda Vane. (I've seen clips and trailers.) Don't know whether she's assigned any of his lines; in the book, Hermione and Ron aren't speaking half the time, and the rest of the time, their lines aren't really interchangeable. No heroics to assign to her, either, at a guess--their battle with the DEs, left out of the film, is offpage.

Joann:
The only time it was really evident to me was the very last scene. Harry and Hermione are talking abut Draco, Snape, the locket and Harry not coming back to school. You think Ron isn't even there. Then they show him sitting down on some stairs and watching them. Then Hermione says 'they" are going with him, that he needs "them". I don't think Ron ever says one word. The last shot Ron gets up to watch Fawkes fly away with them. 

I really didn't understand the thought process that the filmmakers used to make Ron seem like an outsider. Even with him not joining in the conversation, why have him so physically separate?!
