Harry Potter - Character Anaylisis

·         Harry is left with a special mission from Dumbledore, and he feels like he has to do it alone.

Harry thinks that because Dumbledore never talked about his suspicions with anyone else, he has to take the trip alone. It’s some kind of heroic feeling, or maybe he feels that he’s already gone, and nobody else should have to take the fall with him.

·         Ron and Hermione finally convince Harry that they would come with him on his quest

Ron and Hermione probably were thinking of the fun that this quest would be, skiving

out of classes, not going back to Hogwarts, with only one homework assignment that still has yet to show a due date. Or maybe they wanted to make sure to give Harry support and make sure he doesn’t do anything stupid without them there to help him out.

·         At Bill and Fleur’s wedding reception, they have to flee, relying on what Hermione packed in her magically expanded bag.

At this point Harry realizes that having his friends with him on this quest could prove very useful, and he has a change of heart. He never again mentions the downfalls of having his friends as allies. He still feels as if something’s wrong, that Dumbledore meant for him to undertake this alone.

·         Harry, Ron and Hermione travel to Grimmauld Place, where Kreacher, the house elf, gives them the clue to the first Horcrux. They make a plan to collect it from inside the Ministry.

Harry finds new hope in a cause he thought might have been lost. Even though he has a huge price over his head, and being discovered would mean his life, he is excited beyond measure at the fact that he had finally found a Horcrux, the one that had the one faked, the one they found on the night Dumbledore died.

·         After traveling for weeks, and losing Ron, he turns up again when the sword of Gryffindor turns up.

Harry is relieved of a huge weight, because he now knows his friend is safe, and so is his family. He destroys this first Horcrux, and is in high spirits, until they are crushed again by the fact that he gets captured. Only his steeled nerves and undying want for destroying the Horcrux helps him escape.

·         At the end of it all, after coming back from the dead, he finally kills Voldemort, his enemy for so long, the one who made his life horrible.

A duty done, after Voldemort’s body hit the floor, Harry could have died a very satisfied death, and everything would be fine. He changed so much, he had doubted he could do it, he resisted his friend’s efforts to follow, resisted help from anyone, lest they perish in the attempt. But finally, what fate was chosen for him when Voldemort tried to kill him was fulfilled.
