, it gave Harry and Hermione a chance to show their ignorance while Ron got to show that he wasn't completely useless he has the culture of the Wizard World and can help them that way.
THIS. I just get so fed up when I look at the series and see what a dumbass he is. Ron should've been the one who knows about Muggle-repelling charms and schools like Durmstrang and so on. This is his society, these are important features of his world and he's all 'huh, what, IDK, Hermione, tell me more about things in everyday life that I should be aware of', ARGH, it's so annoying! It would've put him and Hermione on a more equal footing, she needs him for some things because even though she devours books, there are some nuances you can't figure out by reading, you need a native of the society to explain it to you, but no, more often than not, it's Hermione telling Ron about how his world works!
It can hurt, but for Hermione, for whom the word really does mean fuck-all since she's tops in her class, it just wouldn't
