Tapping into their boundless creativity and deep love for J.K. Rowling’s magical world, Potterheads once again returned with some truly imaginative theories, about Harry Potter’s sidekick/friend Ronald Weasley (Rupert Grint). Analyzing keen details from the books and the films, fans added an imaginative spin on Ron’s penchant for chess.

Reflecting on Ronald Weasley’s unique ability to predict his opponents’ moves on an instinctual level during chess, fans suggested that he might have an untapped latent talent for seer abilities. Although the theory is an imaginative exaggeration, it seems J.K. Rowling could easily carve out a spin-off series based on Ron’s innate abilities.

Fan Theory: Ron’s Strategic Prowess in Chess Could be Indicative of Seer Abilities

Putting a captivating twist onJ.K. Rowling‘sHarry Potteruniverse, a fan theory emerged on Reddit suggesting that Rupert Grint’s character Ron Weasley, might have potential seer abilities. Based on Ron’s impressive strategic prowess in chess, fans believe that it could be indicative of an innate ability to sense the scope of possibility.

Although, neither the books nor the movies indicated any such latent talent for Ronald Weasley, Reddit useru/Callibrienimplied that much like Celeste and Barnaby Lee who were possibly seers in the Wizarding World, even Ron harbored similar talent. Further, drawing parallels between Ron’s chess expertise and the skills of historical seers, the user tried proving their point.

According to this theory,Ron’s talent for chesscould therefore be a manifestation of his innate ability to predict opponents’ moves, hinting at a deeper capacity similar to Divination and Legilimency. And we all know that both Divination and Legilimency need to be cultivated and practiced to gain control over. Similarly, even Ron might actually have seer abilities that require practice and control.

J.K. Rowling Could Imagine a Spinoff Starring Rupert Grint Based on the Theory

Meanwhile, although the fan theory is an exaggeration of the wizarding world and its intricate details, we believe this particular aspect of Ron’s seer abilities could be an interesting spinoff idea. Given how J.K. Rowling has been spinning sequel stories and spinoffs of the originalHarry Potterfranchise, this fan theory could prove to be another magical storyline for her.

Imagine a spin-off series whereRupert Grintreturns as adult Ron Weasley to use his latent seer ability and work as a criminal investigator in the Wizarding World. What a stunning show it would be, to finally see our beloved sidekick Ron, using his intuitive skills to catch criminal masterminds in the magical world ofHarry Potter.

Well, the best part is that Rupert Grint couldreturn as adult Ron, but operate in a role similar to that of Patrick Jane inThe Mentalist.While Simon Baker’s character used his observational skills and impeccable knowledge of the human psyche, to solve criminal cases, Ron could use his seer talent. This fan theory could put a fresh, engaging spin on J.K. Rowling’s magical world by combining crime-solving thrills with the rich lore of Divination.
