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.
Mal: Which one you figure tracked us? Zoe: The ugly one, sir. Mal: Could you be more specific?

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.

Hah--love this!
Abbey: Will the chuddley cannons ever win the quidditch world cup
J.K. Rowling: Bless them, perhaps. But they’d need to replace the entire team and down several cauldrons of Felix Felicitas.

Alicepie: What happend to luna, did she get married who to?
J.K. Rowling: She ended up marrying (rather later than Harry & co) a fellow naturalist and grandson of the great Newt Scamander (Rolf)!

One of the things I'd like to know is; what happened to Umbridge? It would've been nice to see her get her comeuppance.
See, I'm okay with her not being all of that. It's like...it's like, I'd be pissed if Condoleeza Rice got a state funeral. Umbridge thought she was Somebody, all important and stuff, but without either cheating or dominating children, she wasn't much at all.
And I liked that where they'd been all terrified of her before, now Harry just blew her away.

So Harry and Draco will never be friends. They don't have to be, because as Spike says, "You'll never be friends."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What's odd about that interview (which I loved) is that she gives Ron a different future. I'd believe that one more than that he became an Auror, gallivanting about and fighting Dark Wizards with his ol' chum Harry Potter. He'd have way more fun with the joke shop.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, I can see that he could have done both - - started off in the jokeshop and then later become an aurer - having been brought in by Harry.

Yeah, that's true. I could buy that.
Someone noted the irony that Voldemort possessed the former Muggle Studies professor.
