The lack of character development in the movies has been criticized by the viewers even now. It takes away from the depth of the characters and makes them unimpressive. For instance, Ron’s portrayal in the movies, where his importance has been dismissed and his multifacetedness does not resonate with the newer viewers of the movies. This also applies to a strong character like Ginny, who ultimately had little on-screen influence.
