Date: 14 October 2008 11:19 pm (UTC)Harry is one of those rare main character of an ensemble cast which I actually really like. Mostly because I think that he's a bit of an underhanded bastard. I like that he's got this anger and violence simmering in, as well as the way he reach out to people; and that he can be very secretive and resourceful about dealing with his problems.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Well, duh. The books ain't called "Harry Potter and the McGuffin of Doomy Dooms" for nothing.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Not usually so much no.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
Actually I think the HP fandom is pretty much awesome : it's ridiculously well organised into specific pairings and kinks, it's very prolific, wonderfully decadent and shameless, has provided some delightful fics, and actually is very well behaved and polite if you know the right place. Also endless fodder of drama and wanks to enjoy watching.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
My favourite Harry ship is Harry/Draco. I'd also sometimes read Harry/Snape, andHarry/Ron, Harry/Sirius...
It's not that easy to find it well characterised (few writers managed the venom necessary for good Snarry, and lots of Harry/Draco also lack in anger and antipathy) but when it's well done it's delicious.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Well... I don't think they're perfect books, that's for sure. But I'm not much into pondering what I'd change in a characters.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
Oh, I probably wouldn't be able to stand the little brat.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Nah, I wouldn't go that far.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Everyone knows Harry Potter, no need to hype it.
