11. “She Needs to Sort Out Her Priorities”: Ron’s Savage Truth

Ron's talent for summarizing chaotic situations shines throughout Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. After barely making it out of the Devil's Snare, Hermione declares that they would have been doomed without her knowledge. Ron’s dry response—"She needs to sort out her priorities"—perfectly punctuates the tension, leaving the audience laughing at his unfiltered honesty. It is a quintessential Ron moment: witty, even in the face of danger, and one of the most quoted lines in the whole franchise.
