Character #2 for book report 1

In the book that I am reading, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Ron Weasley is Harry Potter’s best friend. And when I say “best friend” I mean “BEST FRIEND” like they could be blood brothers, the share everything with, I you got a date to the dance, and your friend doesn’t you’ll go out of your way to get him one.
Ron is fairly tall, no scratch that. Ron is really tall like a head taller then Harry, who is fairly tall. So, Ron is tall, and he’s kind of “lanky,” but the most familiar thing about Ron, and not just Ron, but his whole family, is their “flame” red hair. Ron Weasley comes from an old, really, REALLY, old wizarding family. They’re what is known as a “pure” blood family though no one from that family cares if they’re “pure” or not. “‘Pure’ blood” is a term that certain families use to identify weather a wizard or witch married a person that was born between two full wizard parents. There things that “pure” blood wizards use for other wizards, like a term called “mud blood” means that the witch or wizard’s parents were non-magical people who had a child that was. Calling someone a “mud blood” is one of the most horrible things a person could call another wizard or witch.
Ron is on the least Heroic side then Harry, but still goes with Harry because Harry is Ron’s best friend. Ron is a little dim-witted but still knows a lot of things about magic and the wizarding world. Since Ron’s family is a little on the poor side, Ron gets a lot of clothing from his brothers. While Ginny, Ron’s younger sister, gets new clothes because a girl can’t where men’s robes if she is a girl. Well that’s just a bit about Ron, to learn more your going to have to read the books, and I hope you do!

Again, interestingly written...you have a nice fluency and good voice in your writing. I think you get a little off focus of the character for awhile

Yeah, it sort of goes off on a related tangent- but it does end up back on subject. I like how you described "mudblood" almost like the F-word in name calling in the wizarding world.
