Description

Unlock the hidden layers of loyalty and humor within the Harry Potter series' most underrated character. Joined by Ron Weasley aficionado Dani Alexander, I, Professor Julian Wamble, take you behind the spectacles of everyone's favorite ginger to discover just how his steadfast friendship and quick wit define the core of the beloved trio. We'll unravel the moments that showcase Ron's importance, from his suggestion of leg-breaking dedication to the nuances of his arguments with Hermione, proving that his value stretches far beyond comic relief. Finally, we tackle the task of holding our childhood heroes accountable, while extending empathy for their growth. We reflect on the biases we, as adults, bring to our understanding of these characters, challenging you to consider the societal expectations placed on youth, especially children of color, and how we leverage those biases against certain characters whose personalities we may experience in our own lives.WE HAVE A WEBSITEGINNY WEASLEY SURVEY

It is in this navigation of the positive and the negative aspects of a world that we find the true magic.
