Ronbledore Deniers

ronbledoreOthers will try to smear and discredit me. This is how you will know I am telling you the truth about Ronbledore.

The following are comments that various haters and deniers have attempted to leave on every Ronbledore-themed article I have written over the last several months. I do not know if they are all governed by the same shadowy hand, or if their name is Legion. I do know that their objective is the same: to smear and discredit anyone who dares attempt reveal the truth.

The truth is that Ron Weasley is a time-traveling Dumbledore. Open your eyes.

1. “Also Harry sees a picture of a young Dumbledore and Aberforth and yet Ron and Dumbledore look nothing alike, gee. Whackjobs”

[Ed. note — Your almost immediate reliance upon argumentum ad hominem tells me even you realize the tenuous ground upon which your argument rests. Riddle me this, Time Scholar: If Ron and Dumbledore look nothing alike, then why was this the cover of the last three Harry Potter books, all of which were titled “Harry Potter and the RON IS DUMBLEDORE”?]

2. “Interesting theory, but a tiny yet significant point is that Redhead people don’t normally have blue eyes.

In fact, I’m not sure if JKR was aware of this at the time of mentioning it or not, but Redhead with Blue eyes is one of the rarest genetic combinations ever.

Just like red hair, blue eye colour is a recessive trait, meaning that both parents must carry the gene for a child to be blessed with it. This makes those with red hair and blue eyes the rarest minority in the world, with only 1% having both.

So, each one is about as rare as a four-leaf clover. Has Molly’s eye color been mentioned anywhere?

I wish it were true, and I do applaud the thought and effort put into this, some points are extremely convincing and present compelling arguments, but I just don’t buy it. Here is why:

A. Albus had a brother and a sister – had a father and a mother, who weren’t Molly and Arthur. Time Travel can’t explain 2 set of parents, can it?

[Ed. note — Yes it can.]

B. Albus was almost the same age as Harry in the last book, when he realized he was Gay. I have absolutely nothing against gay people, but I don’t think that a straight guy who marries a female, fathers children with her in the present would go back in the past and turn homosexual. It just doesn’t makes sense. Plus the whole age thing will again cause a huge time travel paradox and a royal mess.

[Ed. note — I have addressed this before. “But Ron Weasley is attracted to women,” I hear you say, “while Dumbledore is gay. How can you square that circle?” For the last time: time travel reverses your sexual orientation. This is why there are so many pure bisexuals on Torchwood. And I hear your follow-up question, you mewling hordes who demand to be spoon-fed the truth: “What about Hermione? She used the Time-Turner to take extra classes; did that turn her gay, too?” Yes. Hermione was super-mega gay every afternoon for exactly two hours, but she was too busy taking notes to ever do anything about it.]

C. At what point in his life did Ron go back in time to live out his life as Dumbledore? I don’t think even Dumbledore could turn himself younger or turn back the tide of time for his own body, even if he could go back in time.

After the events in the last book, the 20 years later chapter shows Ron to be a middle-age man. How did he go back and turn young again, that can explain his adventures, friendship and relationship with Gindlewald?

[Ed. note — TIME TRAVEL. HE TRAVELED THROUGH TIME.]

When he really WAS that Age, he was with Harry all the time and never disappeared for such great lengths of time to live as a teenager/young man at 2 different points in life.

Sorry, it’s a great theory but it gets debunked by exactly the same thing that you’re trying to use to prove it – Time travel.
Time travel is a bitch, indeed!”

3. “All these evidences are great but ‘what about the ambitious power seeking gifted wizard from the life & lies of Albus Dumbledore chapter in HP DH’ character mismatch is clearly evident.”

[Ed. note — No it isn’t.]

4. “Um. How do you explain the existence of the rest of the Weasley family? And does time-travelling also change the colour of your hair?! This theory has way too many loopholes in it to be considered true.”

[Ed. note — All loopholes are self-negating in double form. An even number of loopholes is the same thing as no loopholes at all.]

5. “NOPE.”

[Ed. note — YES.]

6. “okay but TOSHIKO AND IANTO NEVER TRAVEL IN TIME and they are still bisexuals.”

[Ed. note — In a way, we are all traveling through time…right now.]

7. “Isn’t Dumbledore the time-traveling Ron? Ron kept living until old age and then time-travelled and became headmaster. If old-ass Dumbledore time-travelled, he’d still be old-ass.”

[Ed. note — That would require some sort of bizarre Dumbleron theory, which is ridiculous.]

8. “Unless Aberforth and Ariana are ‘actors’ hired to pretend to be ‘Dumbledore’s’ siblings, this theory is null and void.

Nevermind the repercussions of Dumbledore (if he is indeed future-Ron) touching present-Ron (I don’t have the books on me, but I am certain he does, at least, give him a pat on the shoulder or something). In such a case the paradox created would tear a rift in the fabric of the time and space continuum – that’s one thing Doctor Who taught me. I guess you could argue that this is magic and not science, but I am still not convinced.”

[Ed. note — It did create a rift in the fabric of space-time; this is why Ginny Weasley was created, as a Flesh Anchor. “Ginny Weasley never existed. You cannot time-travel without creating a shadow double or “flesh anchor.” The same is true of Viktor Krum; this is why no one but Hermione is ever seen interacting with him or even mentioning his name, and so much of book 4 is devoted to secret late-night conversations between Ron and Harry, who are deeply worried about how much Hermione is talking to herself in the library. There was only ever one Mad-Eye Moody. Neville Longbottom was a sentient memory created by Ronbledore after the real Lily Potter died.”]

9. ”‘If you are injured and using only one crutch, you would, of course, use the crutch on the side of your injured leg. Sirius shackled Peter to Ron’s injured side – his left.’

WRONG. You would properly use the crutch on the OPPOSITE side of the injured leg.”

[Ed. note — I am not wrong. You are all wrong. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.]

I leave you with this, my few and true believers:

Many people believe that Dumbledore is playing puppet master with the kids–and he may be.

Luna is a true Seer and knows what Ron will become, hence: “Weasley is our King!”

Dumbledore believes that Snape is loyal–and maybe he really knows this. (But DD may have inadvertantly changed something in the timeline losing Snape’s loyalty–DD may be surprised in the end by Snape.)

Ron also has a habit in the series to joke around and say things that actually happen later on. Could this be a clue from Rowling about Ron’s identity?

Though Ron/DD knows that Sirius had to die otherwise Harry would never become this guy who defeat Voldemort.

To this comes Ron can’t travel back that much simple because of one fact if DD is Ron as 150 year old then he is already changing the time. We do not know how life would be if he hadn’t.

Its that the choices are already done we have just to follow the right route. If something went wrong then it did already we can not change it anymore.

TimeTraveling do not change mistakes or change anything they follow just the already written path. In that case as DD did tell Hermione and Harry to go back in time he did already know Sirius will die. It did even fit if you think as Ron was 18 he might have thought he can change the time but witn 150 he is painfully aware he could never do this. He could not rescue Sirius for Harrys sake. It had been already happened like that only a fool of the heart could believe he might change it.

If something went wrong then it did already we can not change it anymore. Keep the faith, keep the watch, and keep a light burning in the night for Ronbledore.

    We keep the faith, Mallory. The deniers shall not shadow our hearts. We shall go, with eyes open and spirits sturdy, to fight for the truth in every part of the land.

  2. CaptainNancy +38

    I have been listening to HP again (Stephen Fry is the BEST NARRATOR that is all), and I cannot believe I didn’t see the TRUTH of RONBLEDORE until enlightened by Mallory. I am ashamed of past-me who ignored the evidence for so long.

  3. dakimel +65

    [Ed. note — All loopholes are self-negating in double form. An even number of loopholes is the same thing as no loopholes at all.]

    Suck it, deniers. This proves EVERYTHING. Look as intensely as you want, and you will never, ever find an odd number of loopholes in this instance.

    SHINE ON, RONBLEDORE. Shine on, Crazy Old Maurice. Shine.

  4. Es_Petal +44

    I read this as deniers as in the unit of thickness for stockings, and had a WHOLE other picture in my head briefly.

    1. AmyJane +5

      They do not have a denier system over there. That and the shocking absence of kettles were my cousin’s first report when she moved to the States.

      1. blueblazes11 +7

        We don’t use denier for stockings, but we do use it for (what you would call) horse rugs. It’s a crazy, mixed-up world.

        1. Absotively +5

          Really? We have denier for pantyhose & tights in Canada. It’s often not in the biggest type on the package, but it’s usually there.

      2. prost +7

        I’ve never heard of this meaning of ‘denier’! Is it pronounced the same? Please use it in a sentence!

        Electric kettles exist but they aren’t particularly common in the US, they are thought of more as a dorm room substitute for a real kitchen. Most people I know who have one have either spent time living outside the US or caught the idea from someone who has. I feel like every few months I discover something that is way easier to make if I just use the electric kettle to boil water rather than the stove/microwave. Most recently it was simple syrup.

        1. Es_Petal +8

          It’s pronounced den like ten, with the emphasis on that syllable, and -ier like the end of jerkier.

          Sheer stockings are ten-denier and they ladder easily, opaque tights are normally 80 denier.

  5. tubatoothpaste +26

    LOL at #6 – trying to prove something by citing Torchwood logic is a losing proposition…

    1. tubatoothpaste +15

      Also, they live/work[ed] near the rift so they could’ve experienced second-hand timey-wimey effects…. aaaah, you’ve sucked me into your terrible argument!!

      1. Jessica_Messica +41

        Let us not throw out the simplest explanation: We know non-time traveling bisexuals also exist. We know time-travel bisexual Jack Harkness does the hiring of his Torchwood team. Conclusion, Jack Harkness enjoys surrounding himself with bisexuals, time travel or otherwise.

  6. katienaum +50

    This thread is for any other redheaded, blue-eyed Toasties/Ronbledore believers out there. We shall not be silenced, because we are special four-leaf clovers.

    1. tibia_ +34

      I’m dating a blue-eyed redhead, and I’m afraid that up until now I have not appropriately cherished his preciousness.

    2. headfullofhoney +32

      As I mentioned downthread, I have red hair and blue eyes, which conclusively proves that Ronbledore is real and he is beautiful and terrible as the morning and the night. All shall love Ronbledore and despair!

    3. estellefirefly +11

      I also have red hair and blue eyes. I had no idea it was so rare.
      I am also a fervent believer in Ronbledore. I did know that we are the rare few who see the truth.

    4. Brunhildenburg +10

      I feel like half or more of the redheads I know have blue eyes. I was a red haired baby and I have blue eyes. Off the top of my head at quick count, 70% of the redheads I know well enough to know their eye color have blue eyes.

  7. ann1011 +37

    I have been devoted to this theory since 2004 and I will never be swayed by even the oddest number of loopholes.

  8. Frumiosa +69

    NEW DEVELOPMENTS: Rupert Grint has also been proven to be a time-traveling Michael Gambon. This is fact.

  9. alex_geedee +33

    I’m not even a person who has read Harry Potter (I know, sacrilege) but I love and agree with every Ronbledore post. ALSO, I noticed one of my Facebook friends having a reasonably serious discussion about Ronbledore’s legitimacy or lack thereof based on one of Mallory’s articles so I’m pretty sure this is a thing now?

      1. rkfire +28

        Please turn the poster with Ronbledore’s head in the sky into the next Toastie shirt/sweatshirt.

        1. SmrtCookie +22

          I can’t decide if this is the best thing ever or the thing most likely to haunt my dreams for the rest of my natural life.

        2. rkfire +11

          oh god, I’m trying not bust out laughing while listening to a webinar.. look away, RK, look away!!!

          1. SarcasticFringehead +17

            Okay, but I should warn you that my parents are pretty strict Ronbledorians, so the ceremony might get a little intense.

  10. littlehuntingcreek +50

    Molly Weasley has brown eyes, btw. They are mentioned in Book 7. To those who say brown eyed persons cannot have blue eyed children, I counter with actual genetics. Totally possible. Also my sister has brown eyes, but her son has blue. Case closed. Maybe time travel affects eye color? Discuss

    1. thebellewitch +61

      Didn’t these deniers/sheeple ever have to do their Punnett Squares? Bb x Bb = BB, Bb, Bb and bb!!! Ergo Ronbledore lives!

    2. dakimel +29

      My brother has brown eyes & brown hair & both his daughters have blue eyes AND THE MAGICAL ONE ALSO HAS RED HAIR, so.

    3. lyona +3

      My grand dad is a brown-eyed former redhead (now bald) and my mom and I both have blue eyes (and brown hair). Therefore, Ronbledore is real. I BELIEVE.

  11. Sean_Sullivan +41

    I’ve long since blocked the Ronbledore deniers from my Facebook feed, so I appreciate the digest of their latest crackpot arguments.

  12. Anne +33

    The only thing to do is to chop off one of Ron’s fingers and see if Dumbledore loses a finger as well.

    1. TheAntiHumorEquation +14

      Nah, that would just create a new timeline. Dumbledore is Ron from the original, “has all his fingers” timeline.

  13. effablecardinal +52

    “Hermione was super-mega gay every afternoon for exactly two hours, but she was too busy taking notes to ever do anything about it.”

    This is great 😀 Any time I express any same sex attraction from now on, I’m going to describe myself as a super-mega gay time traveler. Because the truth will set you free.

    RONBLEDORE FOREVER

    1. Linette +9

      Also, she was what, like 12 at the time she was doing all the time travel? I wasn’t super-into pursuing my sexuality toward anyone at that age. Her super-mega-gayness would probably not have registered in her young-person hormones.

  14. paperbgprincess +24

    This is great and also makes me want to be sure to never get into an argument with Mallory, because she will defeat me swiftly and mercilessly.

  15. Samk12345 +21

    You know…..we’ve never actually seen Ariana and Aberforth is pretty silent about his relationship with Albus…..and Grindelwald is dead.

    1. thebitterfig +21

      Aberfoth is a time-traveling Percy Weasley. That’s why they hate each other.

  16. thezlot +30

    Your almost immediate reliance upon argumentum ad hominem tells me even you realize the tenuous ground upon which your argument rests. Riddle me this, Time Scholar: If Ron and Dumbledore look nothing alike, then why was this the cover of the last three Harry Potter books, all of which were titled “Harry Potter and the RON IS DUMBLEDORE”?

    This is the best possible birthday present. Thank you.

  17. Alison Matthews +9

    I just love everything about this entire mad controversy. Stay strong, Mallory.

  18. headfullofhoney +31

    Redhead with light blue eyes here, dropping in to mention that obviously RONBLEDORE IS MY FATHER AND MY MOTHER, THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE, LOOK AT THE FACTS, SHEEPLE.

  19. thewhelk +36

    “Hermione was super-mega gay every afternoon for exactly two hours”

    I feel like this should be embroidered on a pillow in my home somewhere.

      1. thewhelk +22

        an infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually produce that one fanfic you really want.

  20. Linette +52

    We have a weird logical fallacy going on here. Time travel causes bisexuality, but bisexuality is not immediately indicative of time travel.

    All time travelers are bisexuals. Not all bisexuals are time travelers. Many bisexuals are naturally occurring in the wild.

    1. Rosie +6

      What if a naturally occurring bisexual such as myself were to time-travel? Would I become MORE bisexual? What does that even mean? So many questions!

      1. LaviniaD

        Nah, you’d become an Ace. More bi would be pan, which would make sense for the torchwood example, but it wouldn’t follow the reverse rule.

  21. Paspenka +29

    Toshiko absolutely traveled in time, back to the 1940s in the episode with the real Captain Jack. Do your research, discreditors!

  22. LeastBittern +25

    Mother of God, the redhead with blue eyes point is lifted entirely from a Huffington Post article, and it is BAD GENETICS.

    Look, you know the Hardy-Weinberg equation? It’s an equation that figures out gene frequencies if evolution is not currently affecting the genes you’re looking at. Using the Hardy-Weinberg equation, yes, red hared people with blue eyes would be extremely rare. Well spotted.

    But one of the factors that influences evolution is non-random mating, often due to the fact that perfectly random mating requires organisms to travel impressive distances. So the blue eyes/little melanin in the eyes gene is concentrated in Europe – probably I could come up with an explanation for why, but it would be bad science, so let’s say that we are sure that the mutation arose in a population that has descendants in Europe, and then did not die out. Somehow. Probably due to chance.

    The red-haired gene is also concentrated in Europe – in fact, it’s probably Iberian in origin – so the population with blue eyes and the population with red hair are in the same place, and they have lots of sex and then children with predictable traits. Yes, if everyone mated with everyone else without regard for distance and prejudice for generations, redheads with blue eyes would be vanishingly rare, but instead we live in this world; a world where people frequently fall in love with people who live nearby.

    1. axis +4

      see i was under the impression that light eyes and red hair were closely connected chromosomally–like when chromosomes recombine, the genes are so close together on a chromosome that they usually stick together. of course it helps if more people with those traits are concentrated in one geographic area, but yeah that was my thought process anyway

  23. Loony_Lovegood +21

    I AM A DUMBLERON TRUTHER AND I SHALL NOT BE SILENCED!!

    Also note: Voldemort designed the Denver Airport. It is the ONLY logical explanation for the evil that lives in that place.

  24. Upsidedown_Cake

    "Sredni Vashtar" is not quoted often enough.

    This reduced me to helpless cackling. All of the thumbs up.

  25. Banana

    "For the last time: time travel reverses your sexual orientation."
    As far as we know, Harry only time traveled once right?

  26. Marshy +4

    i’ve got red hair and blue eyes, y’all biscuitheads. maybe I’M Ronbledore!
