> Introduction:
My Favourite Fictional Character is Harry
Potter from Harry potter Series. According to
Rowling, Harry is strongly guided by his own
conscience, and has a keen feeling of what is
right and wrong. Having "very limited access to
truly caring adults", Rowling said, Harry "is
forced, for such a young person, to make his
own choices." He "does make mistakes", she
conceded, but in the end, he does what his
conscience tells him to do. According to
Rowling, one of Harry's pivotal scenes came in
the fourth book when he protects his dead
schoolmate Cedric Diggory's body from
Voldemort, because it shows he is brave and
selfless.
Rowling has stated that Harry's character flaws
include anger and impulsiveness; however,
Harry is also innately honorable. "He's not a
cruel boy. He's competitive, and he's a fighter.
He doesn't just lie down and take abuse.
But he does have native integrity, which makes
him a hero to me. He's a normal boy but with
those qualities most of us really admire." For the
most part, Harry shows humility and modesty,
often downplaying his achievements; though he
uses a litany of his adventures as examples of
his maturity early in the fifth book. However,
these very same accomplishments are later
employed to explain why he should lead
Dumbledore's Army, at which point he asserts
them as having just been luck, and denies that
they make him worthy of authority. After the
seventh book, Rowling commented that Harry
has the ultimate character strength, which not
even Voldemort possesses: the acceptance of the
inevitability of death
>Magical Ability’s:
Throughout the series, Harry Potter is described
as a gifted wizard apprentice. He has a
particular talent for flying, which manifests
itself in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone the first time he tries it, and gets him a
place on a Quidditch team one year before the
normal minimum joining age. In his fourth year
(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Harry is
able to confront a dragon on his broomstick.
Harry is also gifted in Defence Against the Dark
Arts, in which he becomes proficient due to his
repeated encounters with Voldemort and various
monsters. In his third year, Harry becomes able
to cast the very advanced Patronus Charm, and
by his fifth year he has become so talented at the
subject that he is able to teach his fellow
students in Dumbledore's Army. At the end of
that year, he achieves an 'Outstanding' Defence
Against the Dark Arts O.W.L., something that
not even Hermione achieved. He is a skilled
duelist, the only one of the six Dumbledore's
Army members to be neither injured nor
incapacitated during the battle with Death Eaters
in the Department of Mysteries in Harry Potter
and the Order of the Phoenix. He also fends off
numerous Death Eaters during his flight to the
Burrow at the beginning of Harry Potter and the
Deathly Hallows.
Harry also had the unusual ability to speak and
understand "Parseltongue", a language
associated with Dark Magic. This, it transpires,
is because he harbours a piece of Voldemort's
soul. He loses this ability after the part of
Voldemort's soul inside him is destroyed at the
end of The Deathly Hallows. However, in the
events of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it
was revealed that he had not lost the ability to
recognise or speak the language when he
encountered Delphini, Voldemort's daughter,
who was trying to use his son and Draco’s son
Scorpius to fulfill a prophecy that could return
Voldemort by changing time.
>Personality:
Harry was an extremely brave, loyal, and
selfless person who possessed tremendous
strength of character. He willingly went to what
he truly believed to be his death, because he
believed that this was the only way to defeat the
Dark Lord. Harry was also marked by
what Lord Voldemort once deemed a "weakness
for heroics" — he would go to great lengths and
take great risks in order to help others,
particularly his loved ones. Notably, this was
taken advantage of by Voldemort in 1996, when
he lured Harry to the Department of
Mysteries by making him believe that
his godfather was in danger. Harry was also
very strong-willed and unafraid to stand up for
himself. The fact that he was capable of
repelling the Imperius Curse suggests that he
had an unusually strong sense of himself and his
morals
 >Story Parts:
Harry Potter

• Philosopher's Stone (1997)

• Chamber of Secrets (1998)

• Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)

• Goblet of Fire (2000)

• Order of the Phoenix (2003)

• Half-Blood Prince (2005)

• Deathly Hallows (2007)

>Symbols:
In the first book of Harry Potter we were
introduced into the four houses: Gryffindor,
Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each of
them has an emblem of an animal which
represents their houses: Lion for Gryffindor,
badger for Hufflepuff, eagle for Ravenclaw and
a serpent for Slytherin.

The Deathly Hallows symbol is based on the

magical items each of the three brothers used to
escape death: the invisibility cloak, the Elder
Wand, and the Philosopher’s Stone. In the
symbol, the triangle represents the cloak, the
circle is the stone, and the line down the center
is the wand.

Harry has a lightning bolt scar above his eye,

Which he earned the night Voldemort killed
his parents. Harry was spared because his
mother’s love was so fantastically powerful,
hence leaving behind the distinctive mark. That
scar, though, left him linked to the Dark Lord
and would ultimately serve as a warning
whenever Voldemort was near.
Before Harry Potter was born, James and Lily
Potter and their friends were the ones fighting
Voldemort. Voldemort had his own posse,
though, called the Death Eaters. They self-
identified by being marked with the “dark
mark” tattoo on the inside of their forearm.
That mark kept them linked to Voldemort,
As a gang symbol.

I don’t know why but these symbols in the story

Makes me interested in this more as I like
symbols which represent a story or a person’s
Personality or a person’s past life
>Weird Items
Horcruxes
Simply put, a horcrux is a piece of one’s soul. If
a witch or wizard creates a horcrux, then they
can never truly die until said horcrux is
destroyed as well. A person’s physical body can
be destroyed, but their soul can live on. So,
when Voldemort’s killing curse backfired after
attempting to murder young Harry, his physical
body was destroyed. However, since Voldemort
had numerous other horcruxes, he was not truly
dead.
In order to create a Horcrux, the witch or wizard
must distort their soul to such an extent that it is
torn apart. Dumbledore suggests that one of the
only ways to do so is cold-blooded murder.
However, there could be an argument that
numerous other acts can create a horcrux as
well, assuming that they are so gruesome that
your soul literally cannot handle it.
 Seven horcruxes
• Tom Riddle's Diary.

• Marvolo Gaunt's Ring.

• Salazar Slytherin's Locket.

• Helga Hufflepuff's Cup.

• Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem.

• Nagini.

• The Secret Horcrux — Harry.

Since Harry’s destiny as “the Chosen One” is to
defeat Voldemort, he embarks on his mission to
destroy all of the horcruxes along with the help
of Harry and Hermione. Horcruxes can only be
destroyed in specific circumstances that allow
it’s complete and utter destruction. In the
movies, the horcruxes are destroyed in these
ways:
• The killing curse — “Avada Kedavra.”
• Fiendfyre — a curse that creates powerful
and magical flames.
• Godric Gryffindor’s sword — one that was
pulled from the Sorting Hat.
• Basilisk’s venom — acquired from a tooth
of the giant Basilisk snake in the bowels of
Hogwarts.
Conclusion:
The Fictional Character Harry Potter inspired
me a lot in many ways in life as he is shows that
all humans have a weakness and everyone
should accept it that they have a weakness. His
father and mother died when he was a baby
although he craved for family love he did not
get it but did not worry over it as he had friends
to enjoy his life with, he did not fear death when
it came to protecting his loved ones, I too want
to be like him and enjoy life with my loved ones
