Sorry I took so long to reply, but I really had to think about this one. I honestly feel like all the characters are important to the series, even the "bad"/"evil" ones. So, if I have to pick my least favorite I believe it's Ron.
I do like the Weasley family, and I'm really thrilled that they're in the series. However, I just feel that Ron is so bland. He doesn't add much to the story line, and I think he would be easy to replace or at least flesh out more. I mean, Harry has the whole boy-who-lived thing, Hermione is a genius, and Ron just is. Maybe he's simply over shadowed by the rest of the Weasley clan, but he really doesn't have anything going for him other than being Harry's best friend. He doesn't have a subject he shines at, he's not really brave at all, and the whole thing with Hermione, "All's fair in love and war, and this is a little bit of both." Please. *eye roll* He flip-flops a lot and it's unclear where his loyalties really lie and how the hell he's actually going to help Harry. He serves as the damsel in distress more than anything else, Harry is constantly going out of his way to fix what Ron has broken or save him.
