The Harry Potter series gained some incredibly devoted fans over the years, with particularly ardent devotees flocking to the three main characters, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger. Ron and Harry became friends almost instantly and their friendship persisted long after the main series did.
These two characters proved time and time again that they were true friends and cared for each other in an extremely special way. Keep reading to see 10 memes that prove Harry and Ron are the truest of friends!
Harry Accepted Ron For Who He Was
As fans quickly learned in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the Weasley family was not known for their riches, in fact, they were known for the opposite. This, however, never deterred Harry from his friendship with Ron, and if anything, it made him appreciate Ron even more.

Harry never made Ron feel ashamed of his financial status, and this meme proves that. When Ron brought Harry to his home for the first time, Harry made sure to remark on how amazing the home was, and it was clear that Ron was pleased.
Harry Never Minded Being The Third Wheel
This funny meme points out the fact that, without even recognizing it, Harry Potter was the third wheel to Ron and Hermione throughout the series. Perhaps this is one of the testaments to the strength of their friendship because they never once fought over Hermione, and Harry was incredibly happy when Ron and Hermione finally got together. Although there were bumps in the road, including Rob harboring some insecurities about Harry and Hermione, they turned out well unfounded and these two friends proved that they would let nothing in the way of their friendship.
Ron Convinced Harry Not To Leave The Burrow
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry was feeling incredibly guilty after the death of Mad Eye Moody and the other injuries members of the Order of the Phoenix were facing. When faced with his guilt, Harry decided it was best to leave The Burrow on his own to go search for Horcruxes, in order to keep his friends safe. Ron, however, caught Harry trying to leave and convinced him to stay, knowing if Harry went out alone he would never survive, pointing out the fact that without Hermione the two of them would never even last at all. This moment shows that Ron and Harry were both willing to put themselves in danger to help the other and this meme reflects that perfectly.
Harry Was Treated Like Family
Perhaps the reason these two are definitely true friends is the fact that Ron's family loved Harry Potter just as much as he did. Ron's mother brought Harry in as a member of their family almost immediately, giving him a safe place to stay and a mother's love, both of which he was in desperate need of. This fact alone proves that the friendship between these two characters was real and genuine because the love they had for each other was as close to family as it gets!
Their First Time Meeting
The first time Ron and Harry met each other was the start of a strong friendship from the beginning. During their ride on the Hogwarts Express, Ron's kind gesture of sharing his packed sandwich with Harry proved that these two were going to get along fine. The next gesture, made by Harry after seeing Ron struggle with buying candy from the trolley, was just another sign of their amazing friendship to come. Harry bought candy for both of them just as Ron offered to share his food. It became clear during this scene that their friendship was definitely going to be wholesome.
Harry Saved Ron's Life
In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, all fans remember that Ron Weasley almost lost his life. This meme shows part of that scene when after drinking poisoned mead that was given to Ron by Professor Slughorn, but was actually intended to be for Albus Dumbledore, Ron started seizing and foaming at the mouth.
Harry, after seeing his best friend dying before his eyes, went into panic mode and quickly found a bezoar to shove down Ron's throat to save him. This heroic act proved that Harry would have done anything to save his friend, and was able to think quickly on such short notice purely out of his love for his friend.
Ron Out His Fear Of Spiders Aside
Ron Weasley was known for his fear of spiders, which appeared to be true in multiple Harry Potter films. This film was the first time fans saw a glimpse of this character's fear, and Ron put those fears aside for Harry. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry was determined to find out the truth about the Chamber, which led to him and Ron following spiders into the Forbidden Forest. Ron proved that he would do just about anything for his friend when he put his biggest fear aside to help Harry.
They Did It All Together
Although Harry Potter was the person who eventually killed Lord Voldemort, he simply couldn't have done it alone. Ron was on board with anything Harry needed and any plan that he had to get closer to the truth about the Dark Lord. Ron was by Harry's side throughout it all, helping him every step of the way. And as this meme demonstrates, he was there from beginning to end of their journey. This alone proves these two are true friends!
Harry Gave Ron Confidence In Quidditch
As every fan remembers, Ron was incredibly nervous for the first game, and like any true friend, Harry knew exactly what his friend needed - a simple boost of confidence! Harry pretended to slip Felix Felicis in Ron's cup and Ron knowingly drank it, thinking he was about to have an incredibly lucky day. Harry, of course, didn't actually give him the potion but allowed Ron to think he had. This trick played out well for Ron, and Harry anticipated his needs like any true friend would.
Ron Rescued Harry
Ron Weasley proved his love for Harry in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets when he came to rescue Harry from his aunt and uncle's house. With the help of Fred and George, Ron stole his father's flying car to break Harry out of the Dursley's. He risked getting in trouble with his parents, getting seen by Muggles, and getting caught by the Dursleys with this plan. However, he risked it all for his friend, and this alone proves how true this friendship really is.
