Text, Questions & Answers

Did you ever wonder how J.K. Rowling made Harry Potter seem so real? It's through a process called characterization. Rowling used direct characterization, telling us Harry was brave, determined, and loyal. She also used indirect characterization, showing us Harry's character through his actions, like when he faced Voldemort or when he fought for his friends. Harry's interactions with other characters, his reactions to circumstances, his thoughts, and his dialogue, all added to his characterization. Over time, Rowling developed Harry's character, letting him grow and change, just like a real person. This made us care about Harry and made him feel like someone we know. That's the magic of good characterization!
