And, while I can see the narrative Carol presents, I don't see why I should believe 
that Ron "triumphed" over his insecurities when he destroyed the Horcrux when he 
didn't after winning the Quidditch cup in OotP and realizing he didn't need good-luck potion to win in HBP. 

Sartoris22:

I'm sorry I had to snip your comments to respond because that was an excellent analysis of the Ron character arc. As I said before, his development is nonsensical, particulrly, as you point out, in comparison to Neville'ws development. For me, Ron's development is actually somewhat infuriating. You also make a good point about the epilogue. Even after all Ron's been through, he is still failing tasks and hiding his failures from Hermione, who, although she won't admit it, didn't think Ron could past the driving test.
