Film Portrayal
In the film series, Ron is portrayed by Rupert Grint and is one of few characters to appear in all eight consecutive instalments. Although the earlier films have Ron playing a similar role as he does in the books, the best friend of Harry Potter, the later films reduce the characters role in the story significantly. A prime example being the absence of his sub-plot of being goalie of the Gryffindor Quidditch team in the fifth film.
