Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Characters

In the book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry must face many life threatening ordeals, and during these challenges Harry is forced to change dynamically over time. For example, he's usually "quick-to-anger", personality had to change/configure in order to receive help from his close friends. Also he's had to become much more courageous in order to face the dangerous situations that were ahead of him.

Harry's interactions with other characters are usually as hostile, friendly or questioning. A few examples are when Harry is speaking with people who criticize, frustrate or insult him he tends to lash out and brings out that "quick-to-anger" personality. He can be friendly when there isn't any or little stress around close friends or compassionate characters. One last element of Harry's character is his ambition, which drives the plot forward and moves at a relatively even pace and gets to the conflict in a timely manner.

  1. You're right, Harry does change from the temperous and slightly childish character he was at the beggining, to a milder, nicer person to make allies and get help wherever he needs it. Good post!

  2. I, also having read this book, agree that harry has to find more courage and become brave becuase this is probably the most terafying of situations yet since its the first real time he meets The Dark Lord and he must face him alone.

  3. Nice blog Josh. Harry does get slightly irritated when people think that he put the slip of paper in the goblet of fire. I feel pretty bad for him, but his friends are there to help him all the way. You are also right about the ambitious part. Harry is very self driven, and if he is given a task, he will have to finish it. This motivation carries on in the seventh book, and Harry finishes the task Dumbledore has given.
