Ron was actually my favorite character in the first movie. I was disappointed that Rowling & Hollywood turned him into such a whiner as he got older. |
It could also be that they were trying to present what they thought was normal given the character's home life's. I mean Hermione was an only child and technically so is Harry since he and his cousin don't really connect while Ron is the youngest son of 6 and the only one younger is his sister Ginny. So naturally he would have been the one picked on by most of his siblings and would probably have gotten it good if he'd done the same to Ginny. So he developed into a bit of a whiner in part because of that. And of course Mrs. Weasley tended to keep the kids a bit tied to her apron strings.
