Hello Everyone,
With the third installment of the Harry Potter series
'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' being released in Britian a few days ago and the world wide release on June 4th the online community has already jumped at the script.
This time it isn't about the missing, vital scene's or the massive plot holes, this time it is about the way Ron Weasley is being portrayed. The Ron Weasley we love from the books is one that is quirky, loyal, fun and brave, but all we are seeing in the movie is a very sad comic relief character.
With Hermione Granger, who is an amazing character on her own, getting one of his most important lines from the movie (marking the second time in the series she has stolen an important line) Ron Weasley fan's pounced. A new petition (link below) is now available for people to give their comments to Steve Knovels about his actions in making Ron the third wheel and giving Hermione the role of 'Super Hermione', one that doesn't sum up our favorite Gryffindor girl in the third movie.

Here are some main parts from the petition:
Quote:
We, the undersigned, petition you to discontinue ignoring Ron Weasley in favour of Hermione Granger in the film adaptations of JK Rowling’s phenomenal Harry Potter series. Mr. Kloves has been known to say that he loves Hermione. That’s fine, so do most people. However, the film adaptations are letting Ron go in favour of Hermione, which is becoming more and more disconcerting. We believe the script should stay true to Ms Rowling’s characterisations.
Quote:
It is one of the most powerful lines that Ron has up to date in the series, and it was disappointing to see it given to Hermione by Mr. Kloves. The line from the book, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban is as follows:
"If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too!" he said fiercely, though the effort of standing upright was draining him of still more color, and he swayed slightly as he spoke.
"Did you hear me?" Ron said weakly, though he was clinging painfully to Harry to stay upright. "You'll have to kill all three of us!"
These two “little” lines are a turning point in the development of Ron Weasley’s character.
Please if you feel strongly about Ron's character then lend your support to the petition as soon as possible.
Speaking of petition's, some of you may remember a few months ago I started a 'Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban DVD' petition in which it requested for audio commentary. After excellent support from the online community I forwarded the petition and recieved a reply from Warner Bros. a few days ago.
They thanks everyone for the suggestion and forwarded the idea to the DVD format designer's. Hopefully this extra feature will be included.
Save Ron Weasley
