In a typical Hero/Shadow pairing, the Hero faces seemingly insurmountable odds because the Shadow is better equipped and just as motivated. This is certainly true of Harry Potter, who starts his Hero's Journey an orphan child living in a closet with a scar and no training. Harry has no knowledge of his past and is already targeted for assassination...
The entirety of the Weasely family becomes embroiled in the fight against Voldemort early in the series. In reality, all of them could be considered Allies - those who help the Hero in their quest - but Ron's older twin brothers play another role during the stories set at Hogwarts as well. The Jester or Trickster is often the comic relief. They mak...
Fans could probably argue that there are numerous species outside of wizards that Harry meets on his journey who could fill this role. The Friendly Beast is often a non-human creature who helps lead the Hero in their quest. While Hedwig doesn't speak, she does provide Harry with some of his first steps into the world of wizards. She's Hagrid's gift...
The role of The Ruler is exactly what the name implies: an authority figure that holds sway over other characters. The Ruler can be either a help or a hindrance to the Hero on their journey, but they often find themselves out of touch with the reality of their situation. Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magicfor much of Harry's formative years is j...
Those familiar with classic archetypes in literature might also reference The Caregiver as The Good Mother, but a Caregiver doesn't have to be a mother, or even a woman, to fill this specific role. It's someone who helps to provide structure in the Hero's life, someone who helps care for them but doesn't necessarily go on their journey with them. R...
A common thread among well-defined villains is that they are often meaningfully connected to the hero, and it's very much the case with Harry and Voldemort. Their wand-cores each come from tail feathers of Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes (and they both in their own ways die and resurrect like phoenixes themselves). They share a magical connection thro...
The function of Threshold Guardians is to thwart the progress of the hero, though they aren't always serious obstacles. The Dursleys are quite abusive toward Harry, especially early on in the series. But as Harry gains confidence, the Dursleys get their comic comeuppance (more than once) and we get the satisfaction of feeling karmic balance in the ...
Herald characters typically appear at the beginning of the hero's journey as part of what Campbell calls the "Call to Adventure." Hagrid liberates Harry from the Durselys at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, informs Harry of his true wizard nature and origins, and acts as a mentor for the first few chapters (at least until Har...
One of the richest mentor characters in the history of middle-grade fiction must be Albus Dumbledore, whose steady guiding hand is a powerful argument for the premise mentioned above. When all the wizards around him refuse to speak Voldemort's name in favor of the much darker "He who must not be named," Dumbledore counsels Harry to do differently, ...
Harry's Godfather, Sirius, is the main Mentor for Harry's inner journey because he emotionally connects Harry to his dead parents. Dumbledore helps Harry navigate his actions, while Sirius helps Harry navigate his feelings. Sirius also represents the outlaw archetype in a very literal sense, having broken out from Azkaban prison and spending much o...
Here are the Harry Potter archetypes as they relate to some of the main characters: 1. Harry Potter – The Hero/The Orphan/The Warrior. It is not unusual for characters in a story to embody more than one archetype and Harry Potter himself is an example of this. His primary character archetype is that of the hero and central protagonist of the ...
penelope-taynt. •. I’ll add to what everyone has been saying - 100% yes books are better. Other than all the plot intricacies that are way better explained in the books, my favorite part about the books is the characters. I LOVE book Harry.
that really is unpopular. People don't like it because the story is absolutely fucking awful and ruins so many characters stories. The shitty time travel trope really doesn't help. Neither does the secret love child between voldemort and bellatrix. It's ok to like things that are indisputably crap OP.
