Ron's middle name

Aug 11, 2005 17:35

Hello, quick question:

Is Ron's full name:

Ronald Bilius Weasley?
Or did i just pick up his middle name in a fanfiction? This is getting confusing, lol!

Thanks in advance :D

Yes that is his name. You're not going crazy yet. :D

Thankyou, that's a relief!

That is not in canon, though, we found it out through JKR.

As ginny_weasley31 says below, "JKR interview, quotes, and her website, are still considered canon."

Excuse me. I meant it was not in the books--there was no page number in books 1-6 that we can refer to, so I would understand why the OP would be confused as to where the information came from. The first person who replied did not say where they got their information, so that is why I added my comment.

I really appreciate the correction.

Oh, no worries - I didn't mean to sound so overbearing. I just saw the opportunity to act as administrator and clarify the definition of canon that's used here.

It was said on her website or in an interview I do believe.

JKR interview, quotes, and her website, are still considered canon. Ron's middle name is after his Uncle Bilius.

::seconds ginny_weasley31:: Yes, definitely. Not book-canon, but from-the-horse's-mouth-canon, meaning interviews, quotes, etc. Ron is most definitely middle-named after his Uncle Bilius.
