Harry Potter's main characters Palesa

Harry Potter's main characters

Palesa Lerothodi



 
Harry Potter  is an orphan who lost his parents at a very tender age. He is black-haired,  wears spectacles and did not know he was a wizard. In the book everything starts to happen just before and in the year following Harry's eleventh birthday. Voldemort's attack left a lightning bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead, which produces stabbing pains when Voldemort or a close person of the dark wizard feels any strong emotion. Harry has a natural talent for quidditch and the ability to persuade friends by passionate speeches.


Ron Weasley is Harry's age and is  Harry's best friend, always there when he needs him. Ron lacks confidence in his prospects of matching his three older brothers' achievements or the popularity of Fred and George, but his skill and bravery in a magical chess game where lives are at stake help Harry past one of the obstacles on the path to get to the Philosopher's Stone.
Hermione is  born from an all-Muggle family, is a bossy girl who has apparently memorised most of the textbooks before the start of term. she is also one of Harry's freinds together with Ron.Hermione is a very logical, upright and good character with a lot of insecurity and a great fear of failure. Despite her nagging efforts to keep Harry and Ron out of trouble, she becomes a close friend of the two boys after they save her from a troll, and her magical and analytical skills play a vital part in finding the Philosopher's Stone.
Professor Dumbledore is a tall, thin man who wears half-moon spectacles and has silver hair and a beard that tucks into his belt, is the headmaster of Hogwarts and thought to be the only wizard Voldemort fears. Dumbledore while renowned for his achievements in magic, finds it difficult to resist sweets and has a good sense of humour. Although he shrugs off praise, he is aware of his own brilliance.
Draco Malfoy is a slim, pale boy who speaks in a bored slow utturances. He is arrogant about his skill in quidditch and despises anyone who is not a pure blood wizard – and wizards who do not share his views. His parents had supported Voldemort, but changed sides after the dark wizard's disappearance. Malfoy avoids direct confrontations, and tries to get Harry and his friends into trouble.

Professor Mc Gonagall is  a tall, severe-looking woman with black hair tied-up in her hat.She  teaches transfiguration and sometimes transforms herself into a cat. She is in charge of Gryffindor House and unlike Professor Snape, shows no favouritism towards pupils in her House, but seizes any opportunity to help Gryffindor by fair means.Under that strict and serious face and exterio is a bit of an old softy.

Hagrid is a half-giant nearly 12 feet tall with tangled black hair and beard, was expelled from Hogwarts and his wand was broken, but Professor Dumbledore let him stay on as the school's (gamekeeper), a job which enables him to lavish affection and pet names on even the most dangerous of magical creatures like a baby dinasour he had. Hagrid is fiercely loyal to Dumbledore and quickly becomes a close friend of Harry, Ron and later Hermione, but his carelessness makes him unreliable.



 Voldemort is the wizzard that killed both Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry as well but did not succeed. He only left Harry with a scar that looks like a bolt of lightning.Later on in the book Harry and Voldemort meet again in the forest where he almost attacks Harry but his evil mission fails again. Towards the end of the book Voldermort seeks the Philosophers stone and realises that Harry has it. He once again tries to kill Harry for the stone but when he touches Harry had got burned by the love Harry had for his parents which is something Voldermort did not have and like.
