Send us a textIn this episode, we break down the character of Harry Potter. Happy five years, and enjoy!Topics/Summary:· 4:20 Why haven’t we done a breakdown of Harry before? He’s only one character. It’s everyone else around him that make the story pop. Also, we understand Harry pretty well. The point of closer analysis is better understanding a character who might not be in the limelight. Harry is absolutely in the limelight.· 9:31 What is his role in the story? Simply put, he is a figurehead. He represents the revolution against Voldemort; the person who others look to in fighting evil. He has had a hard life with no one to lean on, and that gives him a drive to help others avoid a similar fate.· 15:16 Strengths and Weaknesses. A big strength is his loyalty. The people in his inner circle mean the world to him, and he will never betray them. Harry has strong values and isn’t afraid to make sacrifices for the good of others. Weakness: idiot. That says it all.· 25:11 His foils. Who are the characters who undo him? Obviously, Bellatrix does. She in pure evil and there are no redeeming qualities. People like Draco and Dudley aren’t foils because in the end, they find an understanding in the end.· 29:02 Final analysis. To summarize all of this, I’ll use one word: hope. Harry represents the hope of fighting against Voldemort, and also a brighter future for all. Voldemort is a force of evil that seeks to destroy, but Harry seeks to protect. Voldemort simply fights against, but Harry has something to fight for.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text. [email protected]
