About Harry Potter characters

According to Rowling, Harry is strongly guided by his own conscience, and has a keen feeling of what is right and what is wrong. Potter is a name derived from a trade practiced by an ancestor — far enough back, someone in the family line made earthenware items (compare to Smith or Cook). In the gallery of Harry Potter characters there are many favorites. With the books and movie adaptations finally at an end, it seemed like an appropriate time to look back on the mountain of prose and celluloid Rowling and her many collaborators hath wrought, and survey the best, worst, and most memorable parts of the whole magical shebang. They are well-written, lively, exciting, and quite funny, with vividly imagined creations and engaging characterizations.
