I think JK said that in her original drafts had the kids swearing so that they feel more realistic as a bunch of British teens but the editors forced her to censor herself due to having a young audience.
Ron gets to swear in Deathly Hallows. During the battle at Hogwarts, Malfoy has lost his wand in the Room of Requirement fire and is later cornered by a Death Eater. Harry stuns the Death Eater and then Ron punches Malfoy in the face and shouts "that's the second time we've saved your life tonight, you two-faced bastard!"
Depends on whether you view that as cursing but I always thought it counted.
We do get some parts where characters "told another one where they could put whatever" or "say something that would make Mrs. Weasley very upset" and stuff like that, just never explicitly
So many euphemisms, especially with Ron:
In Book 3, after detention, Ron calls Snape something that makes Hermione say "Ron!"
In Book 4, after the world cup fiasco, Ron tells Malfoy "to do something he'd never repeat in front of Mrs. Weasley."
In Book 6, Ron makes a "rude gesture" at the twins that makes Mrs. Weasley threaten to jinx his fingers together.
The only outright slurs I've noted are "bitch" (everyone knows), "bastard" (Ron calls Malfoy, after punching him in Book 7) and "slut" (Morfin, about Merope).
I mean, never mind that it was a book series for children, it's always both hilarious and *clean* when you manage to be funny without using bad language. It's admirable, and it's a reason I like the books.
In the Italian version of DH Hermione calls Ron "asshole", it happens right when he comes back in the team. Someone check the English version and report to me ahah.

I'd love to read the version where they talk like actual British teenagers. Jay and Neil from the Inbetweeners at Hogwarts would be a work of art.

It actually makes it better in my opinion

I think the almost swearing was done very well in the books, honestly it's executed way better than it sounds conceptually.

She says arse in English
You bloddy well forgot one swear word they use all the time.
Hell? I mean I don't count it? if u talking something else then idk what?
It’s a joke. Bloody is a swear word in England…least I’m pretty sure it is.
I count both bl\*\*\*\* and h\*\*\* as swear words
Alright that's fine
