Yes, but they should have called him IMMEDIATELY. Dude, there is a witness in the house and the bad guys just got in.
On the other hand, an injured Ron kind of drew their attention.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Yes, but they should have called him IMMEDIATELY. Dude, there is a witness in the house and the bad guys just got in. Twenty minutes later they're all "well, we can't call Kreacher"
I'd assume that they either didn't talk about their plans in front of Kreacher or they ordered him to not talk to anyone else about them.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I kind of like that they didn't always do the sensible thing. They're on the run, they don't have a fucking clue as to what they're doing or how they're going to do it...they're kids, they can't think of everything.
The only thing that annoyed me about the things they didn't do that I might have done is that it didn't seem to bite them in the ass as hard as I expected.

I think the movie is going to have to have a montage in the middle.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I like that, too, about the whole series, MM.
A hungry, cold, and terrified montage.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I love how they screw up. And how they were not great at being on the run. (Well, except for Hermione and her magical purse. that was great.)

JKR's chat with the Leaky Cauldron:
J.K. Rowling: Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She then moved (despite her jibe to Scrimgeour) to the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she was a progressive voice who ensured the eradication of oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
J.K. Rowling: Yes, Teddy was raised by Andromeda.
After a few years as a celebrated player for the Holyhead Harpies, Ginny retired to have her family and to become the Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet!

J.K. Rowling: Dumbledore understood Ron’s importance in the trio. He wasn’t the most skilled, or the most intelligent, but he held them together; his humour and his good heart were essential.

What about being a git and stomping off all the time? Was that helpful?

I was half hoping Ron would go evil so he could be smacked around some.
