"Harry Potter" is a magnificent fairy tale on which a whole generation has grown. The characters of "Harry Potter", like the book itself, were created by the British writer Joan Rowling for reading to their children before going to bed. Who would have thought that in a few years the fairy tale would become a world bestseller, and films on it would break many world records?
The main characters of "Harry Potter"
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is an orphan, a boy who survived. He defeated Voldemort, whose crucifix was from the moment he killed his mother's villain. Smart and quick-witted. Distinctive features and abilities - a scar on the forehead in the form of a small lightning, speaks the language of communication with snakes, an excellent catcher (member of the Quidditch team).
Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The second of the mighty trinity. Harry's best friend. Throughout the film, it was known as “botany and nerds,” but it was her erudition that more than once helped friends in difficult situations. A pretty girl and a half-blood (that is, her parents were not wizards, they are Muggles)
Ronald "Ron" Weasley (Rupert Green) is a redhead, freckled, funny and very kind guy. In the future, Hermione's lover. The character is rather shy, suffers from arachnophobia. A native of a large and poor family. He plays chess very well (this skill came in handy for the trinity in the first series of films, where one of the final scenes is a chess game). Like his friend Harry, he plays Quidditch (he is the goalkeeper).
It is these characters of "Harry Potter" who twisted the plot of the film, with them there are many incredible and magical stories that become more intimidating with each subsequent series.
Friends and enemies of the main "Holy Trinity"
Draco Lucius Malfoy (Tom Felton) is a blond with thin white skin and an icy gaze of gray eyes. Studying at the faculty of Slytherins. The enemy of the main characters, trying to harm them at any opportunity. One of the Death Eaters. It has a fairly important role in the entire epic. It was he who was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but could not.
The Ginny “Ginny” Weasley (Bonnie Wright) is a cute redhead girl. The sister of Ron - one of the main characters - and the future lover of the main character. Her role is noticeable in the second part of Harry Potter and the last few. Very naive and talented, quite popular with males. He plays Quidditch and has been successful in this business. The only girl among all the children of the Weasley family.
Of course, these two heroes are far from alone. The list of characters in "Harry Potter" is huge, from their descriptions you can safely compose another additional volume that will unspeakably delight fans of the tale.
Teaching staff
Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) is a professor of defense against the dark arts and potions. His appearance is quite frightening: black long hair and a constantly gloomy look. Harry reacted extremely badly throughout the episodes, but that was the reason. Severus had been in love with Potter's mother Lily all his life. It was because of this that he disliked the protagonist (since Lily preferred Harry's father James to him). But Severus himself, not showing his actions, tried to help Potter in many difficult situations.
Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris, Michael Gambon) - Director of the Hogwarts School of Magic, one of the most powerful magicians of his time. According to the creators, it is the embodiment of “all the best”, does not contradict the students, allows them to learn from their mistakes on their own. He likes to speak quite straightforwardly not even the most pleasant facts. Unlike many wizards, he does not pay special attention to the thoroughbredness of magicians - he treats everyone the same.
Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) is Dumbledore's deputy and then director of the Hogwarts. Differs in seriousness of character, does not like jokes of his charges. She devoted her life to teaching transfiguration in school all her life (this subject was not chosen by chance - Minerva is an animagus that takes the guise of a tabby cat).
These are the characters of the Harry Potter movie from the teaching staff who played particularly important roles. By and large, they changed the course of the tale with their presence.
Harry Potter characters fighting for the dark side
Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) - the main villain of the epic, the strongest dark magician, who almost reached his immortality with the help of the Horcruxes. Luto hated the half-breeds (children of wizards and muggles), although he himself was the same. It was for this reason that he killed his father, a man. He looked rather intimidating: pale thin skin, dark large circles around the eyes, thin body and long fingers. Smart, was the best student at Hogwarts, strove to learn new things, very talented in dark magic and has outstanding abilities (however, according to Dumbledore, he often “forgot” and did not learn important subtleties).
Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) is a death eater, one of Voldemort's most faithful associates. A black mop of thick hair with a small gray strand, the same color big eyes and a dark complexion. She killed the godfather of Harry Potter - Sirius Black, who treated the protagonist very well. Prior to the Order of the Phoenix, she was a prisoner of Azkaban (a large prison for wizards, from where it is difficult to escape), but escaped with other Death Eaters.
One of the traitors
Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall) - an animag, adopting the image of a rat, a longtime friend of the father of the protagonist - James Potter. By nature, a weak and helpless wizard. That is why he chose Voldemort as his patron, betraying the Potter family. Through his fault, Harry's parents died. He was loved by Korostoy in the Weasley family, in which he lived 13 years. He dies from the owner’s gift - a silver hand that strangled him, regarding the fleeting weakness as yet another betrayal.
Magical creatures
The list of Harry Potter characters is not limited to ordinary people. Since this is a fairy tale, then, accordingly, unreal heroes are present in it.
Dobby (Toby Jones) is a house-elf who has the intelligence, the ability to talk. Like all such creatures, it must belong to the owner. At the beginning of the story, he was Lucius Malfoy (Draco's father), but in the Chamber of Secrets he was relieved of his ministry with the help of a tricky Harry Potter sock act. Very kind creation, more than once I tried to help the main characters.
Beak-winged (does not speak) is a hippogryph of Rubeus Hagrid. Proud beautiful creature: the body of a mighty horse with wings and the head of an eagle. Very vulnerable. He was saved by Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in The Prisoner of Azkaban from execution due to Draco Malfoy. He took an active part in the escape of Sirius Black from the Hogwarts.
Other book series interpretations
