Rarity
Uncommon; while not exclusive to a high-priced set, this specific casual-wear variant is limited compared to school uniform versions.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head: one side worried/scared with open mouth, the other side a slight smile. Medium Orange 'shaggy' hair piece.
Torso
Dark Grey torso with plaid (flannel) shirt printing over a dark blue t-shirt. Dark grey arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Black short legs (non-poseable), representing Ron's younger age in the earlier films.
Accessories
Includes a standard reddish-brown wand (3624). In the image, the wand is held upright. No other accessories are native to the character in this specific configuration.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Grey, Blue, and Dark Red/Green plaid accents, with classic ginger (Orange) hair and black legs.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the torso and face. No leg printing. Torso features subtle texture to simulate flannel fabric.
Variants
There are over 40 versions of Ron Weasley. This specific 'hp146' variant is distinguished by the plaid shirt without a jacket and the use of short legs.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the hair piece (which can lose its 'clutch' over time) and the thin wand which is prone to chew marks or snapping. Check for neck cracks in the torso.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Mint: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Prices are stable due to high supply.
Price (New)
Originally released in the Great Hall (75954) retailing for $99.99, making the 'per figure' cost roughly $10 at retail within that set context.

Character Background
Ron Weasley is Harry Potter's best friend. This version represents him during his second year (Chamber of Secrets), specifically wearing his 'muggle' clothes often seen during the journey to Hogwarts in the Flying Ford Anglia.
Design Notes
This figure marked the 2018 update of Ron, utilizing the modern 'shaggy' hair mold and the updated light-flesh skin tones compared to the 2001 yellow-skin era.
Similar Minifigures
hp147 (Ron in School Uniform), hp174 (Ron in Pyjamas), and other short-leg versions of Harry and Hermione from the 2018-2019 waves.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for a complete 'Great Hall' or 'Chamber of Secrets' collection but is easily accessible on the secondary market.
History
Part of the 'Wizarding World' relaunch in 2018 which modernized the Harry Potter line after a long hiatus. It significantly improved the detail of Ron's civilian clothing.
Interesting Facts
The scared expression on the dual-sided head is specifically designed to mimic Ron's reaction to spiders or the Whomping Willow.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the 2018 Harry Potter (hp145). Placing him in a Flying Ford Anglia MOC or inside the 75954 Great Hall is the most thematic choice.
Modification Potential
The torso is excellent for 'City' theme civilians or 'Stranger Things' style MOCs due to the realistic flannel/plaid printing.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of early-years Ron Weasley. While not a high-value investment piece, it is a high-quality figure with practical parts for MOC builders.
