Chapters 12-17

In chapters 12-17, Harry and his friends continue their search for the horcruxes. Upon realizing that Dolores Umbridge has possession of the locket, they break in to the Ministry of Magic. With the help of polyjuice potion, they're able to take the locket, but they inadvertently reveal their secret hideout in Grimmauld Place. With no shelter or food or a plan on how to destroy the locket, Harry, Hermione, and Ron start to get frustrated. Even though they find out that the sword of Godric Gryffindor has the power to destroy horcruxes, increased tensions among themselves lead to Ron leaving the group. This abandonment reveals Ron's character in a way that it shows his immaturity. Because he is used to comfort and care, not wandering around from place to place with no food, he becomes frustrated to the point where he decides to abandon his friends. These chapters also reveal Hermione's character. Ron asks her if she'll follow him or stay behind with Harry, and she decides to stay behind. She knows that Ron is acting out of frustration and anger, and she's able to make the right decision by staying behind to help Harry. Finally, we can see Harry's love for his parents in these chapters. Harry and Hermione decide to go to Godric's Hollow, supposedly to find out more about the whereabouts of the sword, but Harry's actual purpose is to visit his parents' grave. He also visits his house that's been abandoned for sixteen years, and he's deeply saddened.
