Harry Potter Character Analysis

A fourteen-year-old wizard who attends Hogwarts. As a baby, the Dark Lord Voldemort tried to kill Harry but because Harry's mother Lily sacrificed herself, the curse backfired and almost entirely destroyed Voldemort instead. Because of this, Harry has been raised by his Muggle aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon. Harry is still a child at the beginning of the novel but as the novel progresses, he begins to understand that the Wizarding world is much larger than he gave it credit for. He learns that there are Wizarding schools around the world and, most importantly, discovers at the Quidditch World Cup just how terrifying Voldemort's reign of terror was. Harry isn't upset when, upon learning that the Triwizard Tournament will take place at Hogwarts, he also learns that students under the age of seventeen can't compete: because Harry is famous, he's excited to be able to take a backseat. However, someone puts Harry's name in the Goblet of Fire and Harry is chosen as a fourth champion. In the early days of the Tournament, Harry learns that he can't trust everything he reads when the journalist Rita Skeeter publishes sensationalist articles about him. Over the course of the three tasks, Harry dedicates himself to behaving kindly and empathetically to his fellow competitors, though he struggles to do so with Cedric when Cedric takes Cho, the girl Harry likes, to the Yule Ball. Much to Harry's surprise, he's tied with Cedric for the lead by the start of the third task and demonstrates his commitment to being kind and sharing his fame when he suggests that he and Cedric tie and share the glory. This, however, results in Cedric being murdered by Wormtail when both he and Harry are transported to a graveyard for the purpose of returning Voldemort to his body. Harry shows that he's learned the power of caring for others when he agrees to bring Cedric's body back to Hogwarts. Because of Rita Skeeter's smear campaign, Fudge doesn't believe Harry's story that Voldemort has returned. Harry gives his prize money to Fred and George to start their joke shop.

"Ron, You-Know-Who and his followers sent the Dark Mark into the air whenever they killed," said Mr. Weasley. "The terror it inspired...you have no idea, you're too young. Just picture coming home and finding the Dark Mark hovering over your house, and knowing what you're about to find inside..." Mr. Weasley winced. "Everyone's worst fear...the very worst..."

He heard Ron come up into the dormitory a short while later, but he did not speak to him. For a long time, Harry lay staring up at the dark canopy of his bed.

"What are you on about?" said Ron, though Harry thought he knew what was coming.

"House-elves!" said Hermione, her eyes flashing. "Not once, in over a thousand pages, does Hogwarts: A History mention that we are all colluding in the oppression of a hundred slaves!"

"Oh Harry, isn't it obvious?" Hermione said despairingly. "He's jealous!"

"Jealous?" Harry said incredulously. "Jealous of what? He wants to make a prat of himself in front of the whole school, does he?"

"Look," said Hermione patiently, "it's always you who gets all the attention, you know it is. I know it's not your fault," she added quickly, seeing Harry open his mouth furiously. "I know you don't ask for it...but--well--Ron's got all those brothers to compete against at home, and you're his best friend, and you're really famous--he's always shunted to one side whenever people see you, and he puts up with it, and he never mentions it, but I suppose this is just one time too many..."

"--and reading between the lines of that Skeeter woman's article last month, Moody was attacked the night before he started at Hogwarts. Yes, I know she says it was another false alarm," Sirius said hastily, seeing Harry about to speak, "but I don't think so, somehow. I think someone tried to stop him from getting to Hogwarts.

"Why are you telling me?" he asked.

Harry looked at him in disbelief. He was sure Cedric wouldn't have asked that if he had seen the dragons himself. Harry wouldn't have let his worst enemy face those monsters unprepared--well, perhaps Malfoy or Snape...

"It's just...fair, isn't it?" he said to Cedric. "We all know now...we're on an even footing, aren't we?"

"What did you bring her for?"

"Fleur didn't turn up, I couldn't leave her," Harry panted.

"Harry, you prat," said Ron, "you didn't take that song thing seriously, did you? Dumbledore wouldn't have let any of us drown!"

"The song said--"

"It was only to make sure you got back inside the time limit!" said Ron. "I hope you didn't waste time down there acting the hero!"

Harry felt both stupid and annoyed. It was all very well for Ron; he'd been asleep, he hadn't felt how eerie it was down in the lake, surrounded by spear-carrying merpeople who'd looked more than capable of murder.

"Yes," said Hermione in a heated voice, "he sacked her, just because she hadn't stayed in her tent and let herself get trampled--"

"Hermione, will you give it a rest with the elf!" said Ron.

Sirius shook his head and said, "She's got the measure of Crouch better than you have, Ron. If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals."

You saw him dismiss a devoted house-elf because she associated him with the Dark Mark again--doesn't that tell you what he's like? Crouch's fatherly affection stretched just far enough to give his son a trial, and by all accounts, it wasn't much more than an excuse for Crouch to show how much he hated the boy...then he sent him straight to Azkaban."

Harry looked over at the fireplace too. Winky was sitting on the same stool as last time, but she had allowed herself to become so filthy that she was not immediately distinguishable from the smoke-blackened brick behind her. Her clothes were ragged and unwashed. She was clutching a bottle of butterbeer and swaying slightly on her stool, staring into the fire. As they watched her, she gave an enormous hiccup.

As Harry took off his glasses and climbed into his four-poster, he imagined how it must feel to have parents still living but unable to recognize you.
