"Harry Potter" is a magnificent fairy tale, on which an entire generation grew up. The characters of Harry Potter, like the book itself, were created by British writer JK Rowling to read to her kids before bed. Who would have thought that in a few years the fairy tale would become a world bestseller, and films based on it would break many world records?
The main characters of "Harry Potter"
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is an orphan boy who survived. He defeated Voldemort, whose Horcrux had been the villain of his mother since the murder. Smart and smart. Distinctive features and abilities - a scar on his forehead in the form of a small lightning bolt, speaks the language of communication with snakes, an excellent catcher (a member of the Quidditch team).
Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The second of the mighty trinity. Harry's best friend. Throughout the film, she had the fame of "nerd and nerd", but it was her erudition that more than once helped her friends in difficult situations. A pretty girl and a half-breed (i.e. her parents were not wizards, they are Muggles)
Ronald "Ron" Weasley (Rupert Green) is a red-haired, freckled, funny and very kind guy. In the future, Hermione's lover. By nature, he is rather shy, suffers from arachnophobia. He comes from a large and poor family. He plays chess 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 a goalkeeper).
It was these characters of "Harry Potter" who spun the plot of the film, many incredible and magical stories happen to them, which become more frightening with each subsequent series.
Friends and enemies of the main "Holy Trinity"
Draco Lucius Malfoy is blond with thin snow-white skin and icy gray eyes. Studying at the Slytherin faculty. The enemy of the main characters, trying to harm them at any opportunity. One of the Death Eaters. It has a rather important role in the whole epic. It was he who was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but he could not.
Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley (Bonnie Wright) is a sweet red-haired 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 the males. He plays Quidditch and is very good at it. The only girl among all the children of the Weasley family.
Of course, these two heroes are far from alone. The list of Harry Potter characters is huge, from their descriptions one can easily compose another additional volume that will indescribably please fans of the fairy tale.
Teaching staff
Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) is a Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions teacher. His appearance is rather intimidating: long black hair and a constantly gloomy look. He treated Harry extremely badly throughout the series, but there was a reason for this. Severus was in love all his life with Potter's mother, Lily. It was because of this that he disliked the main character (since Lily preferred Harry's father, James, to him). But Severus himself, without showing his actions, tried to help Potter in many difficult situations.
Albus Dumbledore Michael Gambon) is the director of the Hogwarts School of Wizardry, one of the strongest magicians of his time. As conceived by the creators, it is the embodiment of "all the best", does not contradict the students, allows them to independently learn from their mistakes. He likes to speak quite straightforwardly, even not the most pleasant facts. Unlike many wizards, he does not pay special attention to the purebred magicians - he treats everyone equally.
Minerva McGonagall - Deputy Dumbledore, and then the director of Hogwarts. Differs in seriousness of character, does not like jokes of the wards. She devoted her whole life to teaching transfiguration at school (this subject was not chosen by chance - Minerva is an animagus who takes the form of a striped cat).
It was these characters from the film "Harry Potter" from the teaching staff who played especially 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 is the main villain of the epic, the strongest dark magician, who almost achieved his immortality with the help of Horcruxes. Fiercely hated 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, a thin body and long fingers. Smart, was the best student at Hogwarts, strove to learn everything new, very talented in dark magic and has outstanding abilities (however, according to Dumbledore, he often “forgot” and did not learn important subtleties).
(Helena Bonham Carter) is a death eater, one of Voldemort's most loyal associates. A black shock of thick hair with a small gray strand, large eyes of the same color and a swarthy face. She killed the godfather of Harry Potter - Sirius Black, who treated the main character very well. Prior to Order of the Phoenix, she was a prisoner in Azkaban (a large prison for wizards that is difficult to escape from), but escaped with other Death Eaters.
One of the traitors
Peter Pettigrew is an animagus who takes the form of a rat and is a longtime friend of the protagonist's father, James Potter. By nature, a weak and helpless wizard. That is why he chose Voldemort as his patron, betraying the Potter family. It was his fault that Harry's parents died. He was loved by Scabber in the Weasley family, where he lived for 13 years. He dies from the gift of the owner - a silver hand that strangled him, regarding the fleeting weakness as another betrayal.
magical creatures
The list of Harry Potter characters is not limited to ordinary people. Since this is a fairy tale, then, accordingly, there are unreal heroes in it.
Dobby is a house elf with a mind, able to talk. Like all such creatures, 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 freed from service with the help of a cunning act with Harry Potter's sock. A very kind creature, he tried to help the main characters more than once.
Buckbeak (does not speak) - Rubeus Hagrid's hippogriff. A proud beautiful creature: the body of a mighty horse with wings and the head of an eagle. We are very vulnerable. He was saved by Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in Prisoner of Azkaban from execution because of Draco Malfoy. He took an active part in the escape of Sirius Black from Hogwarts.
Other interpretations of the book series
There are a huge number of computer games based on events in books and films. Harry Potter: Create Your Own Character is one of them. Here you can turn on your imagination and come up with a new role “to your taste”, choose clothes and character traits for the hero. Other games are more typical. They need to go through levels of varying difficulty, each of which is dedicated to a specific event in a fairy tale. In this industry, many enterprising people have made a fortune for themselves: the characters of "Harry Potter" are recognizable and loved by everyone, and Internet users are screaming about wanting to get into "Hogwarts".
In many stores you can find the “attributes” of the famous tape: magic wands, sweaters with scenes from the film, and even raincoats. There are groups on social networks and thematic meetings dedicated to the fairy tale. Games for phones and iPads are also quite popular. Fans of the movie "Harry Potter" do not spare money for this. Fanfictions based on characters are occupied by many Internet sites, where they have already accumulated for entire archives.
Fairy tale forever
This is a superbly staged film and, of course, a talented book. A fairy tale that teaches goodness and right deeds is "Harry Potter". The names of the characters will be remembered not only by the current generation, but also by many subsequent ones. She talks about the fact that it is impossible to judge a person without knowing the true reasons for any of his behavior, and that happiness is around us.
Hermione Granger is a friend and. One of the main characters in the Harry Potter books. It is characterized by a high level of intelligence, education and an increased interest in any interesting information.

Harry Potter is the protagonist of the novels by Joan Kathleen Rowling. Harry was discovered by a forester at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry named Hagrid in a building destroyed by an evil mage. Albus Dumbledore, a close friend of his parents, sent Hagrid to their home after learning that the dark lord had killed his entire family and failed to kill Harry.
Hagrid flew to Godric's Valley on Sirius Black's magical motorcycle. Taking little one-year-old Harry in his arms, Hagrid took him to the house of Harry Potter's only relatives, the Muggle Dursleys.
Albus Dumbledore was already waiting for Hagrid at the Dursleys' house. Dumbledore gave the child to his living relatives, along with a letter in which he explained the reason for everything that had happened.

Muggle, that's what all wizards call ordinary people who are not capable of doing magic. Wizards are born among Muggles, but this is a rarity. For example, Hermione Granger's parents are Muggles, and she herself is a sorceress, such a strange paradox.
Hogwarts forester Rubeus Hagrid is a very direct and sincere giant that you can only meet. Hagrid will give you tea with St. John's wort from a bucket. Feeds you a giant pumpkin and other vegetables and meat. Hagrid's father was a Muggle and his mother a giant. So Hagrid turned out to be not such a tall giant. As a child, Hagrid lost his parents and was forced to live alone. At this time, he was already studying at Hogwarts, but was expelled for falsely accusing him of opening a secret room. After that, Albus Dumbledore allowed him to live in a forest house at the edge of a dark forest.
The director of the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore, was a very calm person who liked to joke and say something abstruse. Albus spent his youth in Godric's Hollow. Here he, along with his friend Grindelwald, reflected on the search for Horcruxes.
But after Grindelwald caused his sick little sister to get upset, he fled. And Albus reconsidered a lot after that moment. After he had to defeat Grindelwald.

Remus studied very diligently, often he was the most resourceful in his company. After leaving school, he disappeared from the field of view of his friends and acquaintances for a long time. As he later told Sirius and Harry, he tried to hide from people and wizards.
Minerva McGonagall is a Gryffindor professor. Also among the duties of Minerva is the selection of students in the faculties. Minerva is rather tall and has a thin build. He usually wears a black robe and a pointed hat. Become and honor speaks in her every movement. McGonagall's hallmark is her humanism.

Kikimer is the ancestral house of the noblest and most ancient Black family. All his life he carried out the orders of the members of the House of Black, and then was transferred to the use of Harry Potter as an inheritance. After receiving the medallion of the owner of Regulus from Harry Potter, Kreacher will begin to respect and obey Harry.
Nagini is the closest friend of the dark lord and his Horcrux. The snake personifies Voldemort's kinship with Slytherin and is his mystical form of behavior. The origin of the snake is unknown, but during the tournament of the three wizards, the dark lord kept the snake at hand as his most faithful ally. Nagini was killed in 1998 by Neville Longbottom.
The schoolmaster Argus is a squib and therefore despises wizards, especially Hogwarts students. When choosing a name for Argus, Joan used a creature from Greek mythology that acted as a guardian. This is probably why Argus knows every corner of the castle better than anyone else.
Neville Longbottom is a Hogwarts student who entered the Gryffindor faculty, one of the leaders of the student organization Dumbledore's Squad, a teacher of Herbology at Hogwarts School. Born around the same time as Harry Potter. Neville's parents, the Aurors Alice and Frank Longbottom, are alive, but they live without a soul, as the death eater Belatrissa Lestrange brought them to such a state trying to find out about the whereabouts of the dark lord.
Peeves is the only poltergeist at Hogwarts. He constantly bothered the rest of the inhabitants of the castle and even the ghosts. He had a big mouth and black eyes, which he constantly used to do his pranks.

Regulus Black Regulus Arcturus Black is the brother of Sirius Black, a former Death Eater who betrayed Voldemort. With the help of the house elf Kreacher, Regulus stole Voldemort's Horcrux locket from a cave by the sea that contained a large underground lake and replaced it with an ordinary locket. After the replacement, the young man was pulled under the water by infernals. Before that, he ordered Kikimer to take a Horcrux and not tell family members about this incident, and when he returned, he would definitely destroy the medallion, which he did not succeed. Stan Shunpike Young wizard. In the third book, he is shown as the conductor of the magic bus "Night Knight". Despite the fact that Stan is still young and inexperienced, he is constantly trying to act like a beaten by life and a wizard who has seen everything in the world. After the return of Voldemort, Stan imprudently began to hint to the visitors of the Leaky Cauldron that he knew the plans of the Death Eaters, for which he was arrested and sent to Azkaban. Despite the obvious harmlessness of Shunpike, it is unprofitable for the Ministry to let him go - since the arrest of even such a "Death Eater" is better than nothing. Even the intervention of Albus Dumbledore does not help free Stan. At the beginning of the seventh book, Stan Shunpike is at large: Voldemort arranged a mass escape of the Death Eaters from Azkaban, and they took Stan with them. He was placed under the Imperius Curse and recruited to take part in the Death Eaters' actions. Igor Karkarov Supporter of Voldemort during the first wizarding war, Death Eater. After the fall of the Dark Lord, he was imprisoned in Azkaban, later repented and betrayed many of his former associates, for which he was released. After that, he becomes the director of Durmstrang.

He managed to do this for quite a long time: a whole year. However, Karkaroff was eventually found by Death Eaters to the north in a small house and killed. Fenrir Gray Werewolf, Death Eater. Known for his cruelty and bloodlust. Purposefully infects people with lycanthropy, considering it his life's work. Prefers to attack children because they are more vulnerable and because they are easier to influence later on. Having lost control over himself (or wanting to commit murder), he can bite the victim to death. Despite the fact that Fenrir is a Death Eater, he does not have the Black Mark. During the heyday of the Dark Forces and Lord Voldemort, many families were frightened by Fenrir, because he really could make a family of werewolves out of an ordinary family. When Remus Lupine was a child, it was Fenrir who bit him, causing Lupine to become a werewolf. Fenrir Greyback took part in the attack on Hogwarts (on the day Dumbledore was killed) and inflicted severe wounds on Bill Weasley. Bill didn't become a werewolf because the Fenrir that bit him was in human form, not wolf form. Participates in the Battle of Hogwarts. The role of Fenrir was played in the film "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" by actor Dave Legeno. It is believed that Rowling named this character after the dire wolf Fenrir, the hero of Scandinavian mythology. Korban Yaxley Death Eater. One of the closest servants of the Dark Lord.

A scar remained on his forehead, which became his hallmark and subsequently denoted the closeness and mood of Voldemort.
Harry himself did not know about his popularity until the age of eleven, living with Muggles (ordinary people), who were his relatives, but carefully concealed the truth and treated the boy badly all this time.

In the fourth book, Voldemort is fully revived, and from that moment on, Harry is in greater danger. At first, the Dark Lord cannot approach Harry Potter: at Hogwarts he is under the protection of the headmaster Albus Dumbledore, and during the summer holidays he is protected by the family ties of his deceased mother.
The protection ends when Harry comes of age and when Dumbledore dies. Potter's goal is to kill Voldemort, for which Harry must first destroy all parts of Voldemort's divided soul - Horcruxes. Together with his friends, he successfully copes with this task and defeats Voldemort in the last battle.

Participates in a sortie to the Ministry of Magic in order to save Sirius Black, as well as in the ensuing Battle in the Department of Mysteries with the Death Eaters.

In the seventh book, the communication between them continues. Ginny is actively involved in the battle for Hogwarts.
Neville Longbottom
Neville Longbottom is a student of Hogwarts, a friend of the main characters, a classmate of Harry Potter. From the first book, Neville is presented as very absent-minded, forgetful, awkward and shy. Towards the end of the series, he takes part in most of the dangerous missions of the main characters. At the end of the seventh book, he makes a significant contribution to the victory over Voldemort, destroying one of the Dark Lord's Horcruxes, the snake Nagini, with the help of the sword of Gryffindor.
Neville's parents were Aurors, and, according to the boy's grandmother, "highly respected people in the wizarding community." Like Harry Potter's parents, they were attacked by Voldemort's supporters because of their conformity to Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy: Neville and Harry Potter were born almost on the same day. The young man is a copy of his mother. After a tragedy with his parents, Neville is raised by his paternal grandmother, Augusta. She is described in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (p. 478) as "a mighty-looking old woman in a long green dress with a moth-eaten fox and a pointed hat adorned with nothing more than a stuffed vulture."

Neville has a pet - the toad Trevor, which was given to him by Uncle Algie before entering Hogwarts. Neville constantly loses Trevor, he gives him a lot of trouble.
Draco Malfoy
Draco Malfoy is the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. The same age as Harry Potter, feuded with him and his friends until the last part of the series of novels. Death Eater.

Malfoy unsuccessfully tries to do this in various ways - including using the cursed necklace. When he is given the opportunity to kill the defenseless Dumbledore, he also cannot do it - Dumbledore is killed by Snape. Malfoy is the owner of the Elder Wand for some time, although he himself is unaware of this.
Luna Lovegood
Luna Lovegood is a student, a year younger than Harry.
The appearance of Luna Lovegood is described as follows:
“... Blond hair, rather dirty and tangled, reached her waist. She had very pale eyebrows and bulging eyes, all the while giving her a look of surprise.<…>She stuck her magic wand behind her left ear, and around her neck she wore a necklace of butterbeer caps.
However, this is a literal translation, not entirely accurate. The original said that the hair was "ash blonde", not dirty. Harry Potter's first impression of her was as follows: "Luna was, it seems, a little that."
The Hogwarts students think Luna is a bit crazy and shun her. It seems that with the exception of Harry Potter and his company, she has no friends. At the same time, Luna is far from stupid, kind and sympathetic, gentle and somewhat naive. She evokes sympathy and trust in Harry, although she is the exact opposite of Hermione - logical and firmly on her feet.
Cedric DiggoryCedric Diggory is the captain and catcher of Hufflepuff's Quidditch team.
Cedric has been described as "a strong but quiet type" and "terribly attractive", honest and bold.
In the third book, he became a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team (catcher), being a rival of Harry Potter, and in a match with Gryffindor caught the Snitch, while Harry passed out from the effects of the Dementors who came to the match.
In the fourth book, he was chosen by the Goblet of Fire as the champion of Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Zhou Chang won the heart, made her a couple at the Yule Ball, which caused the jealousy of Harry Potter. At the same time, the nobility of Cedric's character reconciled Harry with him. Professor Moody took advantage of the same quality (into which the death eater Bartemius Crouch Jr. turned with the help of the Polyjuice Potion) - knowing that Cedric considers himself indebted to Harry for the tip in the first round of the Tournament, Moody helped Cedric in uncovering the secret of the golden egg, not doubting that he share a secret with Harry. Together with Harry, Cedric actually won the Tournament, but tragically died during the last stage of the competition - killed by Peter Pettigrew with the Avada Kedavra spell on Voldemort's orders.
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall - Former Deputy Headmaster, then Headmaster of Hogwarts. She was the dean of Gryffindor and a teacher of Transfiguration. She is a registered animagus, meaning she can take on the form of an animal, namely a tabby cat with markings in the shape of her goggles around her eyes.
In the first book, at the initiative of McGonagall, Harry Potter becomes the Seeker of his Quidditch team. McGonagall plays a significant role in the fifth part. When Umbridge and her henchmen received a long-awaited excuse to arrest Dumbledore, McGonagall expressed her willingness to fight for the headmaster, but Dumbledore persuaded her not to. He managed to avoid arrest and leave the school, after which Umbridge took over as headmaster. During Umbridge's tenure, McGonagall sabotaged the educational process. For example, at a consultation on choosing a future profession, McGonagall, contrary to Umbridge's objections, stated that she would help Harry become an Auror, teach him at night and make sure that he achieves the necessary results, even if it will be the last thing she does.
McGonagall stood up for Hagrid when the Ministry staff came for him, and was stunned by four spells that hit her at the same time, after which she was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital.
In the sixth book, Minerva McGonagall fought the Death Eaters and wounded Alecto Carrow. In the seventh novel, when Voldemort seized control of Hogwarts, she stays behind to protect the students from Death Eaters who have taken over teaching positions. When Harry Potter returns to the school, Professor McGonagall neutralizes Amycus Carrow and joins the other deans in a fight against the Death Eaters. The director (Severus Snape) has to flee from Hogwarts on the orders of Lord Voldemort, and Minerva organizes the defense of the castle from Voldemort. In the decisive battle, he fights directly with the Dark Lord himself, along with Horace Slughorn and Kingsley Brewwork.
Rubeus Hagrid is a Care of Magical Creatures teacher, key keeper and forester at Hogwarts. Half man, half giant.
He studied at Hogwarts at the Gryffindor faculty at the same time as Tom Riddle, but was expelled after Riddle's false denunciation that he allegedly opened the Chamber of Secrets. The Ministry of Magic expelled Hagrid from the school, but Albus Dumbledore managed to persuade the headmaster Armando Dippet to leave Hagrid at Hogwarts as a forester. Hagrid was banned from doing magic, and his wand was broken. However, he inserted the wand halves into a pink umbrella, allowing him to use simple spells from time to time.
Hagrid is a positive character. Harry's first friend in his entire life, genuinely cares about him. After a long work as a forester, he was appointed teacher of the care of magical creatures. However, most students do not like the way he teaches: Hagrid does not follow the ministerial program, but prefers to demonstrate the most interesting, in his opinion, animals that are actually the most dangerous to others. In his lessons, burns and injuries often occurred. There is also the fact that Hagrid cannot always clearly articulate his thoughts, often stumbles and gets confused when telling stories.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hagrid was captured by the Acromantulas, descendants of Aragog. He witnessed the last Killing Spell that Voldemort used on Harry Potter, then brought Harry's body to the castle on the orders of the Dark Lord, as he wanted to present evidence of his victory to the defenders of the school.
