That's why I think it would not be such a bad thing if *Ron* were the
one to die Heroically in Book Four: death itself would be something he
was the first Weaseley brother to do, and dying heroically would be a
bigger accomplishment than any of them had committed yet.

Other than that, the only way he can accomplish some great thing that
none of his brothers did first before leaving school is if he became a
poet, musician, or artist: fields none of the brothers got into.
