Characters:
1. Harry Potter is the main protagonist and who gives title to the series.
2. Ron Weasley is Harry Potter's best friend and, along with Hermione
Granger, one of his fellow adventures.
3. Hermione Granger, together with Harry and Ron, composes the trio of
protagonists. Although in the first books his role is minority compared to
that of the two boys, from the prisoner of Azkaban the development of
her character grows and her skills are increasingly required.
4. Lord Voldemort, the antagonist of the series, is a dark and evil wizard
who wants to dominate the wizarding world to impose his ideology based
on the prevalence of pure blood and eliminate the Muggles.
Topics:
According to the author of the saga, the main theme surrounding the heptalogy
is death. She pointed out, “My books are largely about death. They begin with
the death of Harry's parents. Then there is Voldemort's obsession with
conquering death and his quest for immortality at any cost, the goal of anyone
capable of magic. I understand why Voldemort wants to conquer death. We are
all so afraid of him”. In this way, she reflects what should be considered as the
main theme of the saga, although it has been contradicted by several critics, I
consider that it would be useless to try to contradict what she proposes, since
she more than anyone should know in what way. It is based on what she wrote
and for what purpose she did it.
Personal Opinion:
I personally consider this type of films as a hidden expression of reality, since
despite containing mostly fiction, they don’t leave aside human sentiment, pain,
hatred and in many cases revenge. And well, I think that it is not for nothing the
favorite saga of thousands of people around the world.
And for those who still don’t have the pleasure of seeing or reading them, you
should do so, surely you could find in these films that fantastic world that
captures you and falls in love with it.
