Some interesting little trivia of Ron Weasley

• Ron’s full name is Ronald Bilius Weasley, the direct translation of the name is ‘having the god’s power’ ‘anger’ ‘cunning’

•“Ronald” is a name that has its roots in Old Norse language from the name ‘Ragnvald’, it was the name of many old kings, probably this is where the‘Weasley is Our King’ were referenced from.

•Ron’s middle name Bilius came from his uncle Bilius, who was a very humorous and funny man before he went crazy and die because of seeing a Grim.

•Ron is a Pisces. He was born on March 1st (3.1). If you reverse the birth number it’s ‘13’, an ominous number( Maybe this is why he got poisoned on his birthday in HBP). And unlike Harry and Ginny whose represent number is ‘7’—the lucky number, favored by gods. Hermione whose represent number is ‘9’—a number that represents virtues. Ron is the sixth son of the family. ‘6’ represents ‘Satan/Lucifer’ ‘Devil’ ‘The Beast’. I think JKR did this to reverse the trope. A kid who was born on an unlucky day and with bad omens, who was least loved in the family, turned out to be a kind and loyal friend.

•Ron’s first wand is his brother, Charlie’s old wand. It’s an Ash wood wand with unicorn hair. He later got his own wand because his dad Arthur won a prize and bought him one. It’s an Willow wood wand with unicorn hair. What’s interesting is that it is also the same wand wood of Lily Potter. It is said that Willow wood wand will only choose wizards with great magic potential.

•Ron is probably the tallest student in golden trio era. Many times the books described him to have long legs and arms. Since adult Harry is like 180+cm in the books and Ron is a head taller than him. By the end of the series Ron probably reach the height of 190+cm.
