J K Rowling's major characters
Harry Potter
Harry is the boy who went from the lonely life of an ill-treated orphan, to discovering that he had
magical powers and an important role to play in a hidden world of wizards and witches. He
is brave, and values loyalty and friendship above all else.
Voldemort
Harry's nemesis cares nothing for other people, and doesn't care who he uses or hurts in order
to destroy Harry and achieve his goals.
Dumbledore
Dumbledore owes something to the characters of Merlin and Gandalf, as he's a wizard of the old
school. He has a long flowing beard, a kind nature, a certain mystique, and all the wisdom of his many years.
