steadfast Ron fan (which I am, mind you) but I truly think this. Ron has
always stuck by Harry, and he's never backed away from a fight or challenge.
He volunteered to be Harry's second in a wizard duel with Malfoy in first
year.<<

***Koticzka's comment:
Bravery is not about NOT BEING AFRAID, but bringing oneself to act despite
fear, in my opinion.  To me, the biggest tribute to poor Ron's bravery is
being able to overcome his arachnophobia.  This kind of bravery is twice as
precious to me.

Ravenclaw is definitely not for Ron.  Could it be Hufflepuff?  I see him as
rather lazy, and I would never expect him to be a workaholic, like Percy for
instance!  Perhaps this is why he is not there. I do not mean that
Gryffindors are lazy, of course, only that Hufflepuffs are NOT lazy.

If there are so many theories about Harry being the Heir of Slytherin
put in Gryffindor House, there is no reason to suppose that the Heir of
Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw might be not be put in another House than their
ancestors  ("I must be very careful with all of those connections, so that I
am not misunderstood like JKR was," Koticzka is murmuring under her nose).

Hermione is as wise as Ravenclaw. There is no canon on purity of blood being
a Ravenclaw feature, but that is how I see them.  Since Hermione is verging
on being a workaholic, I would consider putting her in Hufflepuff (accent on
consider!).

Give him something broken.
