"Harry Potter" is a great fairy tale that a whole generation grew up with. The characters of Harry Potter, like the book itself, were created by the 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) - an orphan, a 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 the forehead in the form of a small lightning, 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 (meaning her parents were not wizards, they are Muggles)

Ronald "Ron" Weasley (Rupert Green) is a red-haired, freckled, funny and very kind guy. ATin 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 (Tom Felton) - 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 (Richard Harris, 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 doesn't pay special attention to purebred magicians - he treats everyone equally.

Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) - Dumbledore's deputy, 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 tabby 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 fairy tale with their presence.

Harry Potter characters,fighting for the dark side

Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) 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, eager 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).

Bellatrix Lestrange (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 (Timothy Spall) - an animagus who takes the form of a rat, 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. Dies from the gift of the owner - silverthe hand that strangled him, seeing the momentary 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, there are unreal heroes in it.

Dobby (Toby Jones) - 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 released 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.

Beakwing (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. Took an active part in Sirius Black's escape 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 by everyone and loved,and Internet users are screaming about wanting to go to Hogwarts.

In many stores you can find the "attributes" of the famous tape: magic wands, sweaters with scenes from the movie 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. Character fanfictions occupy many Internet sites, where they have already accumulated for entire archives.

Fairy tale forever

This is a superbly choreographed film and, of course, a talented book. A fairy tale that teaches goodness and right deeds - "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.
