I always hear 'Ron wasn't intelligent enough for hermione' this post is not about the couple's compatibility. This post is about Ron's intelligence. So bear with me.
Ron defeated Mcgonagall at chess when he was 12.
He casted a nonverbal spell *almost* successfully at the age of 12 when malfoy called Hermione a mudblood. That too with a broken second hand wand. Yes. 'Eat slugs' was a nonverbal spell in the books.
He got more O.W.Ls than Fred George combined without studying properly.
He got 7 O.w.Ls. and 6 exceed expectations in top 6 subjects and he didn't study like Hermione.
He could produce a corporeal patronus at the age of 15 when many grown up wizards and witches struggled with it. Even Hermione the brightest witch of her age struggled with this charm.
He fought the deatheaters in the 5th year and 6th year.
He saved Tonks' life during the 7 potters scene. Even Tonks, a qualified auror was impressed with his skills.
He deceived the snatchers in the DH and survived WITHOUT HERMIONE for many weeks
He disarmed bellatrix at malfoy manor. He took down greyback with the help of Neville. He fought in the battle of hogwarts.
He became a successful auror after the war.
Also he came up with the idea that tom riddle killed moaning myrtle, he told Harry to use Felix felicis, he discovered how to get back to Harry Hermione even though they had strong protection spells around their tent, He mimicked harry's parsletongue successfully, he came up with the idea(in the DH) that the basilisk's fangs could destroy horcruxes, He told Hermione to use her wand when she was panicking under pressure, he was the best liar among them. He easily fooled lucius and other deatheaters at the manor by mimicking Peter.
Not to mention his wit!! His one liners were unmatchable. Many times he was even funnier/wittier than Fred George.
Dear Hp fandom, academic intelligence is not the only form of intelligence. Try to understand it. Don't dismiss someone's intelligence just because he is not studious.
