Ron seems to take a more relaxed approach to studying compared to Hermione. He believes that the exams are still far off and doesn't feel the urgency that Hermione does. He expresses his view that they have plenty of time before the exams, indicating that he doesn't see the need for intense preparation at this point. Additionally, Ron suggests that Hermione, being knowledgeable, doesn't need to study as much, which shows he believes she is overreacting about the importance of the upcoming exams. Overall, Ron's thoughts reflect a more laid-back attitude toward studying and exams.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling
From Chapter 14 Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback
Every time they passed the third-floor corridor, Harry, Ron, and Hermione would press their ears to the door to check that Fluffy was still growling inside. Snape was sweeping about in his usual bad temper, which surely meant that the stone was still safe. Whenever Harry passed Quirrell these days he gave him an encouraging sort of smile, and Ron had started telling people off for laughing at Quirrell’s stutter.
Hermione, however, had more on her mind than the Sorcerer’s Stone. She had started drawing up study schedules and color-coding all her notes. Harry and Ron wouldn’t have minded, but she kept nagging them to do the same.
“Hermione, the exams are ages away.”
“Ten weeks,” Hermione snapped. “That’s not ages, that’s like a second to Nicolas Flamel.”
“But we’re not six hundred years old,” Ron reminded her. “Anyway, what are you studying for, you already know it all.”
“What am I studying for? Are you crazy? You realize we need to pass these exams to get into the second year? They’re very important, I should have started studying a month ago, I don’t know what’s gotten into me…”
What are Ron's thoughts about studying?
