What about Ron?  He hasn't been ready to fight for 5 books? No one 
will be upset or angry if he ends up dying?  Is Ron just acceptable 
fish food?

I don't think so. Ron is important to me as well. He's a bit more 
than just the side-kick that everyone else seems to think. Ron might 
be a bit thick, but he's not that expendable. I do fear that he might 
give his life for Harry, just as he was willing to do in SS/PS. And I 
 don't think Harry would be happy without his "wheezy". :)

This is me now:
Sometimes I have a hard time with Harry and Hermione, I mean, Harry's 
so unique, what with that adventure (I don't know what else to call 
it.) he had before he was even old enough to remember.  Hermione's so 
smart.  Ron's just a regular guy who is trying to grow into someone 
who is happy with himself and also keep up somewhat with his two best 
friends.  Sometimes when I really can't relate to Harry or Hermy <g>, 
I just sort of focus on where Ron is in the story and then I feel 
more like maybe I could be a part of everything after all.  That also 
helped me with the last book because Ron was getting some recognition 
and confidence at the same time that awful things were happening all 
over.
