<Tr> <Th> Spouse (s) </Th> <Td> Hermione Granger </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Children </Th> <Td> Rose Granger - Weasley (daughter) Hugo Granger - Weasley (son) </Td> </Tr> <P> Ronald Bilius "Ron" Weasley is a fictional character in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series . His first appearance was in the first book of the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as the best friend of Harry Potter and Hermione Granger . He is a member of the Weasley family, a pure blood family, who reside in "The Burrow" outside Ottery St. Catchpole . Along with Harry and Hermione, he is a member of the Gryffindor house . Ron is present in most of the action throughout the series . </P> <P> According to Rowling, Ron was among the characters she created "the very first day". Ron is inspired by Rowling's best friend Sean Harris (to whom Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is dedicated), but she has clearly stated that she "never set out to describe Sean in Ron, but Ron has a Sean - ish turn of phrase ." Like Harris is to Rowling, Ron is "always there" when Harry needs him . The character of Ron fits many of the stereotypes expected of the sidekick; he is often used as comic relief, is loyal to the hero, and lacks much of the talent Harry possesses, at least in terms of magical power; however, he proves his bravery several times, such as playing' real wizard's chess' in the first book, and entering into the Forbidden Forest with Harry during the second book despite his arachnophobia . </P>
