Jul 14, 2019 · From Harry’s famous green eyes being changed to blue to Narcissa Malfoy’s unique two-tone ’do, here’s how the Harry Potter characters transformed from page to screen, and why they were reimagined for the films.
Apr 24, 2024 · Hermione is arguably the best character in the entire saga, and Deathly Hallows Part 1 proves why. All the Harry Potter movies have a collection of compelling characters, but each film has one ...
- Dobby
- Gellert Grindelwald
- Ginny Weasley
- Gilderoy Lockhart
- Albus Severus Potter
- Molly Weasley
- Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody
- Minerva McGonagall
- Delores Umbridge
- Lucius Malfoy
"Such a beautiful place... to be with friends." It's difficult to not get a bit misty-eyed recalling the moment when Dobby the house-elf said those words in Deathly Hallows Part 1, which were among his last. When we met Dobby, admittedly, he was pretty annoying. He was a strange, little creature with a habit of hurting himself, who made things very...
His reputation may have eventually been overshadowed by Voldemort, but there was a time when Grindelwald was the most feared villain in all the wizarding world. He only has one brief appearance in the main Harry Potter series, though one where he manages to stymie even Voldemort himself. It's the Fantastic Beasts movies where Grindelwald is truly c...
On hand in Chamber of Secrets as a lovesick little girl/vessel for Tom Riddle's madness (following her cameo in The Sorcerer's Stone), Ginny and Harry's eventual romance captivated us. It seemed to both spring up out of nowhere andfeel like it was meant to be all along. It was only natural that Harry should wind up finding love in the same family w...
Gilderoy Lockhart is a real charmer. It's through sheer charisma (and the occasional memory charm) that he established himself in society as one of the most accomplished wizards of all time, without actually performing any of the heroic acts he claims to have done in numerous best-selling books. The vain and self-aggrandizing Lockhart's habit of ex...
Harry Potter may have faced a difficult childhood being known as "The Boy Who Lived," but that's nothing compared to growing up with the biggest celebrity in the wizarding world for a father. Making matters worse is that Albus Severus is named after two of the other most important wizards in history. His central conflict is right there in his name....
Imagine the perfect, loving, giving mother – and then add magic. That's Molly Weasley for you. We love her husband Arthur as well, but Molly's treatment of Harry has always been a particularly wonderful part of the series. Harry is an orphan, treated horribly by his aunt and uncle – and his relationship with his godfather, Sirius, was tragically sh...
Grizzled. If there's one word that could describe Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody in a nutshell, it's "grizzled." One of the most renowned Aurors of all time, Moody was a fierce fighter for good in the First and Second Wizarding Wars. He'd lost an eye, which was replaced with a magical one, he has a wooden leg, and his face is covered with scars. His exper...
As the head of Gryffindor house and Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall can be a strict disciplinarian. She is quick to kick misbehaving students out of her class, and deduct house points when the situation warrants. But she can also be kind of like that cool aunt of yours -- the one who sometimes lets you get away with a bit of m...
Oh, how we hate this woman... which is why she belongs on this list. J.K. Rowling really outdid herself when she created Dolores Umbridge. Voldemort is a terrific villain to be sure – but it could be argued that he never got under our skin like Umbridge did. Perhaps it's because Voldemort came in and out of Harry's life. His threat was ongoing, but...
Draco Malfoy was trouble from the second we met him, so it was no shock to discover his dear old dad was cut from the same cloth. A man of power and influence in the wizarding world, Lucius hides behind a shield of wealth, while plotting some very dark things. A longtime supporter of Voldemort, it was his actions that set into motion the entire plo...
- The Warrior/Hero (Also The Orphan): Harry Potter. In a typical Hero/Shadow pairing, the Hero faces seemingly insurmountable odds because the Shadow is better equipped and just as motivated.
- The Jester/Trickster: Fred And George Weasley. 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 Friendly Beast: Hedwig. Fans could probably argue that there are numerous species outside of wizards that Harry meets on his journey who could fill this role.
- The Ruler: Cornelius Fudge. 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.
- Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone (2001): A Perfect Introduction to the Wizarding World. While The Philosopher's Stone is undoubtedly a more child-aimed movie, it is so easy to enjoy by all audiences, being such a fun ride and the cinematic introduction to the wonderful wizarding world created in the books.
- Harry Potter & The Chamber Of Secrets (2002): Mystery. That argument is easy to make for pretty much any introductory film for a franchise. There would not be the rest without the first is an argument used for a variety of movie acclaims such as A New Hope, Iron Man, and Raiders Of The Lost Ark.
- Harry Potter & The Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004): Maturity. More often than not in Harry Potter film rankings, there are a couple of movies you can count on being at the very top of the list, the main two being the finale of it all, The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, and the third installment of the series, The Prisoner Of Azkaban, and it is fairly easy to see why.
- Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire (2005): Voldemort's Return. The Goblet Of Fire is one of the most action-packed Potter films, and while The Prisoner Of Azkaban was a colossal turning point for the franchise, the fourth installment brought about a huge turning point for the characters and Wizarding World itself.
