50 free Ron Weasley trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Ron Weasley is the only one of the Harry Potter trio raised inside wizarding society, which makes him the reader's guide to Howlers, Chocolate Frogs and why you never trust a talking diary. J. K. Rowling created him among her very first characters, called him funny but insensitive, and admitted in 2014 that pairing him with Hermione was a form of wish fulfilment. Rupert Grint won the part after sending in a rap, played Ron in all eight films and says the line between himself and the character got thinner with every one. This quiz walks through Ron's seven books: the life-sized chess game, the flying car and the Howler, Scabbers' true identity, Padma Patil and the Yule Ball, the poisoned mead and the bezoar, the locket, the Deluminator and the Chamber he opens by imitating Parseltongue. It also covers Grint's audition, his ice-cream van, his Guinness record, the Cursed Child stage Ron and the Comic Relief spoof that cast Jennifer Saunders in the role. Fifty questions, four options each, with a short explanation after every answer. Play on your phone or print it for a quiz night.
