IN magical world known as only person, a survivor of a deadly spell that was thrown at him in infancy one of the greatest dark wizards - Lord Voldemort, who had previously killed his parents. The spell struck the Dark Lord himself, as a result of which he disappeared, and Harry Potter became popular among wizards. There was a scar on his forehead that became his distinctive sign and subsequently denoting the proximity and mood of Voldemort.

Harry himself did not realize his popularity until he was eleven years old, living with Muggles ( ordinary people), who were his relatives, but carefully hid the truth and treated the boy poorly all this time. At the age of eleven, letters inviting him to school begin to arrive at his address. magic hogwarts that Muggles are trying to hide. But they don’t succeed, Harry finds out that he is a wizard and goes to study at Hogwarts. Every summer holiday Harry returns to the Muggles.

During his studies, he several times encounters Voldemort in one form or another, who tries to kill him, but Harry escapes death each time. In the fourth book, Voldemort is completely revived, and from that moment on, Harry is in greater danger. At first the Dark Lord cannot get close to Harry Potter: at Hogwarts he is under the protection of the school's headmaster Albus Dumbledore, summer holidays he is protected by the family ties of his deceased mother.

The protection ends when Harry reaches adulthood and after Dumbledore's death. Potter's goal is to kill Voldemort, for which Harry must first destroy all parts of Voldemort's divided soul - the Horcruxes. Together with his friends, he successfully copes with this task and last battle defeats Voldemort.

Ronald Weasley

Ronald Weasley is one of the main characters in the series of novels. The sixth child in the Weasley family. Ron's mother's habit of setting older children as examples for the younger ones has developed in him a kind of “second-class” complex, which he acutely experiences.

A close friend of Harry Potter, whom he met during his first trip on the Hogwarts Express train.

Present in all books of the series, in the latter, along with Hermione Granger, she becomes the head of the Gryffindor house.

Hermione Granger

Hermione Granger is one of the main

s heroines of a series of novels. Although Muggle-born, she is known as an excellent student at Hogwarts and a talented sorceress. Present in all books of the series, in the latter, along with Ron Weasley, he becomes the head of the Gryffindor house. In the afterword (“Nineteen Years Later”), she is married to Ron and has two children, Rose and Hugo.

Ginny Weasley


Ginny Weasley is the seventh child and only girl in the Weasley family. Friend of the trio of main characters. One year younger than Harry. In the books she is described as a girl with bright brown eyes and long, straight, fiery red (like all Weasleys) hair. A talented sorceress, in particular, she is good at the “Bat Evil Eye” spell.

Ginny appears in the first book at King's Cross Station, seeing off her older brothers to Hogwarts. In the second book, while buying textbooks, Lucius Malfoy throws Tom Riddle's diary to Ginny - Voldemort's Horcrux, which was a memory. Ginny corresponds with Riddle, and as a result, Tom enslaves her mind: Tom Riddle, with her hands, releases a basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets, which attacks Muggle-borns. Ginny tries to get rid of the diary, but was unable to destroy it. Trying to regain his body, Tom Riddle takes the girl to Secret room and deprives her of strength. However, Harry Potter destroys the part of Voldemort's soul enclosed in the diary, and Ginny comes to her senses.

From the fourth book, Ginny becomes popular among the opposite sex and begins dating Michael Corner. In the fifth book, Ginny is the Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team and plays well. Excellent mastery of spells under Harry's guidance in Dumbledore's Army. When Umbridge is in last time exposes Dumbledore's Troop and leaves for the Forbidden Forest, Ginny, who is with other members of the OD under the protection of the Inspection Squad, which is numerically superior to Dumbledore's Troop, is freed and achieves a turning point in the battle. Participates in the foray into the Ministry of Magic to rescue Sirius Black, as well as in the subsequent Battle of the Department of Mysteries with the Death Eaters. He first dates Michael Corner, but then starts a relationship with Dean Thomas.

In the sixth book, Ginny continues to play for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but as a chaser. In the same book he begins dating Harry Potter. At the end of the book, Harry explains to her that they need to separate, otherwise Voldemort will find out about their closeness and could use her for Once again as bait. She gets upset but agrees. In the seventh book, communication between them continues. Ginny actively participates in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Neville Longbottom


Neville Longbottom is a Hogwarts student, a friend of the main characters, and a classmate of Harry Potter. From the first book, Neville is presented as very absent-minded, forgetful, awkward and timid. Towards the end of the series, he participates in most of the dangerous missions of the main characters. At the end of the seventh book he introduces significant contribution in victory over Voldemort, using the sword of Gryffindor to destroy one of the Dark Lord's horcruxes - the snake Nagini.

Neville's parents were Aurors, and, according to the boy's grandmother, "very respected people in the wizarding community." Like Harry Potter's parents, they were attacked by Voldemort's supporters due to their conformity with Sibyl Trelawney's prophecy: Neville and Harry Potter were born almost on the same day. The young man is a copy of his mother. After a tragedy with his parents, Neville is raised by his paternal grandmother, Augustus. She is described in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (p. 478) as "a powerful-looking old woman in a long green dress with a moth-eaten fox and a pointed hat adorned with nothing less than a stuffed vulture." Mrs. Longbottom was very kind in her conversation with Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny, but she still had a menacing air about her.

Neville has a pet - Trevor the toad, which was given to him by Uncle Algie before entering Hogwarts. Neville constantly loses Trevor, he causes him a lot of trouble.

Draco Malfoy


Draco Malfoy is the son of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy. The same age as Harry Potter, he was at enmity with him and his friends until the last part of the series of novels. Death Eater.

Draco has blond, almost colorless hair, pale, thin skin, cold gray eyes, a pointy chin. He is tall, thin, but broad in the shoulders.

Like his parents, he supports Voldemort. In the sixth book, the Dark Lord entrusts Draco with the task of killing Dumbledore. Malfoy tries unsuccessfully to do this different ways- including using the damned necklace. When he has the opportunity to kill the defenseless Dumbledore, he also cannot do it - Dumbledore is killed by Snape. Malfoy has been the owner of the Elder Wand for some time, although he himself is unaware of it.

Luna Lovegood


Luna Lovegood is a student, one year younger than Harry.

Luna Lovegood's appearance is described as follows:

“... Her blond hair, rather dirty and tangled, reached her waist. She had very pale eyebrows and bulging eyes, which always gave her a surprised look.<…>She stuck her magic wand not just anywhere, but behind her left ear, and a necklace made of butterbeer corks hung around her neck.”

However, this is a literal translation and not entirely accurate. The original said that the hair was an "ash blonde" shade, not dirty. Harry Potter's first impression of her was: "Luna seemed a little off."

Hogwarts students consider Luna a little crazy and avoid her. It seems that, with the exception of Harry Potter and his company, she has no friends. At the same time, Luna is far from stupid, kind and sympathetic, gentle and somewhat naive. Harry likes her and trusts her, although she is the complete opposite Hermione - logical and firmly standing on her feet.

Cedric Diggory

Cedric Diggory is the captain and Seeker of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

Cedric has been described as "strong but quiet type" and "terribly attractive", honest and brave.

In the third book, he became a member of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team (seeker), being a rival of Harry Potter, and in a match with Gryffindor he caught the Snitch, while Harry lost consciousness from the effects of the Dementors who came to the match.

In the fourth book, he was chosen by the Goblet of Fire as the champion of Hogwarts to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. He won the heart of Zhou Chang and became her date at the Yule Ball, which made Harry Potter jealous. At the same time, Cedric's nobility of character reconciled Harry with him. Professor Moody took advantage of this same quality (into whom the death eater Bartemius Crouch Jr. turned with the help of Polyjuice Potion) - knowing that Cedric considered himself indebted to Harry for the tip in the first round of the Tournament, Moody helped Cedric in revealing the secret of the golden egg, without doubting that he will share the secret with Harry. Together with Harry, Cedric actually won the Tournament, but tragically died during the last stage of the competition - he was killed by Peter Pettigrew with the Avada Kedavra spell on the orders of Voldemort.

Minerva McGonagall


Minerva McGonagall - former deputy headmaster, then headmaster of Hogwarts. She was head of Gryffindor house and transfiguration teacher. He is a registered animagus, meaning he can take the form of an animal, namely a tabby cat with markings in the shape of his glasses around his eyes.

In the first book, at McGonagall's initiative, Harry Potter becomes the Seeker of his house's Quidditch team. McGonagall plays a significant role in the fifth part. When Umbridge and her minions received the long-awaited reason to arrest Dumbledore, McGonagall expressed her willingness to fight on the side of the headmaster, but Dumbledore persuaded her not to do so. He managed to evade arrest and leave the school, after which Umbridge took over as headmaster. During Umbridge's time in power, McGonagall sabotaged educational process. For example, during a consultation to choose future profession McGonagall, over Umbridge's objections, stated that she would help Harry become an Auror, teach him at night and make sure that he achieves the necessary results, even if it is the last thing she does.

McGonagall stood up for Hagrid when the Ministry came for him, and was stunned by four spells hitting her simultaneously, after which she was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital.

In the sixth book, Minerva McGonagall fought the Death Eaters and wounded Alecto Carrow. In the seventh novel, when Voldemort seizes power over Hogwarts, she stays behind to protect the students from the Death Eaters who have taken over the teaching positions. When Harry Potter returns to school, Professor McGonagall neutralizes Amycus Carrow and, along with the other deans, engages in battle with the Death Eaters. The director (Severus Snape) has to flee Hogwarts on the orders of Lord Voldemort, and Minerva organizes the defense of the castle from Voldemort. IN decisive battle fights directly with the Dark Lord himself, along with Horace Slughorn and Kingsley Brustwer.


Rubeus Hagrid is the Care of Magical Creatures teacher, Keykeeper, and Gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Half man, half giant.

He studied at Hogwarts in the Gryffindor house at the same time as Tom Riddle, but was expelled after Riddle falsely denounced him for allegedly opening the Chamber of Secrets. The Ministry of Magic expelled Hagrid from the school, but Albus Dumbledore managed to persuade the school's headmaster, Armando Dippet, to keep Hagrid at Hogwarts as a gamekeeper. Hagrid was banned from witchcraft and his wand was broken. However, he has inserted the halves of his wand into a pink umbrella, allowing him to cast simple spells from time to time.

Hagrid - positive character. Harry's first friend in his entire life, truly cares about him. After long work The forester was appointed to teach the care of magical creatures. However, most of the students do not like the way he teaches his lessons: Hagrid does not follow the ministerial program, but prefers to demonstrate the most interesting, in his opinion, animals, which are actually the most dangerous to others. Burns and injuries often occurred in his lessons. There is also the fact that Hagrid cannot always clearly formulate his thoughts, and often stammers and gets confused when telling stories.

During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hagrid was captured by the Acromantulas, descendants of Aragog. Witnessed the last Killing Curse that Voldemort used on Harry Potter, then brought Harry's body to the castle on the orders of the Dark Lord, as he wanted to show the defenders of the school evidence of his victory.

If you are an ardent fan of not only the cinematic, but also the book Potter, and the names of the characters didn’t tell you anything, don’t be upset! The Easter eggs hidden in the names could only be found by those who read the original (not translated) series of books.

Xenophilius Lovegood

Luna Lovegood's father. Widower. Publisher of the Quibbler magazine.

If you break down this character's name piece by piece, you get "strange" from the word xeno and "love" from the word phile. This is, of course, not PPAP, but it sounds like a “weird person” too.

Minerva McGonagall

Warner Bros.

Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Dean of Gryffindor House, teacher of Transfiguration.

This heroine has the most wonderful name. The unremarkable Scottish surname McGonagall translates as “brave”, and the name Minerva (by the way, roman name goddess Athena) is translated as “wise.”

Cornelius Fudge

Warner Bros.

Minister of Magic of Great Britain, consultant for relations with the British Prime Minister of Muggles.

The first word you will see in the dictionary is “fudge”. Literally. Regular fudge. But, if you go deeper into the translation, then in verb form this word means “to do somehow.” Round, Miss Rowling!

Horace Slughorn

Warner Bros.

Potions Master and Head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, old friend Albus Dumbledore.

Literally, his surname can be translated as “eye tentacles of a slug.” We agree, the name is so-so, however, and hidden in it hidden meaning. First, Horace was careful, attentive to detail, and meticulous in his choice of students (and favorites). Also the heraldic term "slughorn" comes from the Scottish word for "slogan". Let us remember that the Professor, disregarding his own safety, remained at Hogwarts and fought Voldemort. Well, the cherry on the cake is the name of the hero, Horace, which takes us to the beloved literary name Rowling, who at one time chose not to follow in her parents’ footsteps and went to study literature at the university. And for good reason!

Fleur Delacour

Warner Bros.

One of the best students French Academy witchcraft and wizardry Beauxbatons, participant in the Triwizard Tournament, wife of Bill Weasley.

The name of this sorceress is translated from French as “flower of the heart.” Perhaps this is not the most obvious Easter egg, however, you will agree that despite her beauty and external fragility, the heroine showed herself to be not only a worthy opponent in the Tournament, but also a first-class warrior in the Battle of Hogwarts.

Rita Skeeter

Warner Bros.

Special correspondent of the Daily Prophet, a “stylish little thing” and the most annoying character in Potter.

"Skeeter" is slang for a mosquito, used in Britain. By the way, a journalist from other books and films, Evgenia from the film “ Servant", also goes by the nickname Skeeter.

Peter Pettigrew

Warner Bros.

The fourth creator of the Marauder's Map, one of the former school friends of James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, a former Gryffindor, a servant of Voldemort.

This antagonist has the ugliest name of all. In some areas of England, the name Peter is translated as, excuse me, “weeper.” Now his nickname, Ponytail (originally warmtale - “warm tail”), has sparkled with new colors.

One of the main heroines of the Harry Potter series. Characterized by high level intelligence, education and increased interest to any interesting information.

Hermione met Harry and Ron in Hogwarts Express. It was a chance meeting in which Hermione showed off her level of knowledge in front of the boys and surprised them...

Let's start getting acquainted with the most legendary wizard of the universe and his adventures. The entire life of Harry Potter from the very beginning to the very end. The narration will be conducted in chronological form, so you can express your thoughts about Harry Potter. In the story we will touch on those who influenced the development of Harry Potter.

Harry Potter is the main character in the novels of JK Kathleen Rowling. Harry was discovered by a wizard school gamekeeper and witchcraft hogwarts named Hagrid in a building destroyed by an evil magician. Albus Dumbledore, close friend his parents, sent Hagrid to their home after he learned that the Dark Lord had killed his entire family and failed to kill Harry.

Hagrid flew to Godric's Valley on Sirius Black's magical motorcycle. Taking little one-year-old Harry in his arms, Hagrid took him to the house of Harry Potter's only relatives - the Muggle Dursleys.

Albus Dumbledore was already waiting for Hagrid at the Dursleys' house. Dumbledore gave the child to his living relatives along with a letter in which he explained the reason for everything that had happened.

The main villain of Harry Potter. Voldemort's real name is Tom Redl. Tom's mother was in love with a Muggle and later became pregnant by him. Having learned about this, her father killed this Muggle and ended up in Azkaban, from which he was never able to return. The mother took the child to the orphanage, where Tom spent long years. Already at this time, Tom was bullying other children and using magic on Muggles. At the age of 11 he was taken to...

Rubeus Hagrid and his a big increase worries many. At the very beginning, I think this greatly worried his school bullies, if there were any. The fate of this character is very interesting to many Muggles, and all because he is very unusual, even for the wizarding world...

Ronald Weasley is one of the members of the ancient magical Weasley family, younger son Arthur Weasley. Since childhood, he was raised in a family of wizards. After his 11th birthday, Ron met, and a little later, Hermione Granger.

At school, what I liked most was not studying homework and sitting in big hall when they served a lot of food. Ron was not a very good student, but thanks to advice and tips from Hermione, he always passed his exams well.

Godric Gryffindor is a great wizard and one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Godric Gryffindor was born in the year 1000. In whose honor one of the faculties of the School is named, as well as Godric's Grove, where he was born. The symbol of Gryffindor is a golden lion on a red cloth. Godric Gryffindor valued courage and fortitude in people. Guided by this criterion, I selected my students...

Muggle, that's what all wizards call themselves ordinary people who are unable to perform magic. Wizards are also born among Muggles, but this is very rare. For example, Hermione Granger's parents are Muggles, and she herself is a sorceress, this is such a strange paradox...

Hogwarts gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid is as straightforward and a soulful giant as you could ever meet. Hagrid will give you tea with St. John's wort from a bucket. Feed you with a giant pumpkin and other vegetables and meat. Hagrid's father was a Muggle, and his mother was a giant. So Hagrid turned out to be not such a tall giant. As a child, Hagrid lost his parents and was forced to live alone. After which he entered Hogwarts and was expelled for falsely accusing him of opening a secret chamber. After which Albus Dumbledore allowed him to live in a forest house on the edge of a dark forest...

Ron's rat, whose name was Karosta, was actually a wizard who had bewitched himself. He was afraid that he would be punished for his betrayal and, having cut off his finger, he turned into Karosta, the rat that Ron received from his brother when they bought him an owl.

"Harry Potter" is a magnificent fairy tale that an entire generation has grown up with. The Harry Potter characters, like the book itself, were created by British writer JK Rowling to read to her children before bed. Who would have thought that a few years later the fairy tale would become a world bestseller, and films based on it would break many world records?

The main characters of "Harry Potter"

Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is an orphan, the boy who lived. He defeated Voldemort, whose Horcrux he had been since the villain killed his mother. Smart and quick-witted. Features and abilities - a scar on his forehead in the form of a small lightning bolt, speaks the language of communication with snakes, an excellent catcher (member of the Quidditch team).

Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The second of the mighty trinity. Harry's best friend. Throughout the film, she had the reputation of being a “nerd and a nerd,” but it was her erudition that more than once helped her friends in difficult situations. A pretty girl and a half-breed (that is, her parents were not wizards, they were Muggles)

Ronald "Ron" Weasley (Rupert Green) is a red-haired, freckled, funny and very kind guy. In the future - Hermione's lover. He is quite timid by nature and suffers from arachnophobia. Coming from a large and poor family. Plays chess excellently (this skill was useful to the trio in the first series of films, where one of final scenes- chess game). Like his friend Harry, he plays Quidditch (he is a goalkeeper).

It is these Harry Potter characters that set the plot of the film in motion; many incredible and incredible things happen to them. magical stories, which become more terrifying with each subsequent episode.

Friends and enemies of the main “Holy Trinity”

Draco Lucius Malfoy is blond with thin snow-white skin and icy gray eyes. He studies in the Slytherin house. The enemy of the main characters, tries to harm them at every opportunity. One of the Death Eaters. Has a fairly important role in the entire epic. It was he who should have killed Dumbledore, but could not.

Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley (Bonnie Wright) is a cute red-haired girl. The sister of Ron - one of the main characters - and the future lover of the main character. Her role is noticeable in the second part of Harry Potter and the last few. Very naive and talented, quite popular among males. He plays Quidditch and is successful in this matter. The only girl among all the children of the Weasley family.

Of course, these two heroes are far from alone. The list of Harry Potter characters is huge; from their descriptions, you can easily compile another additional volume that will greatly delight fans of the fairy tale.

Teaching staff

Severus Snape (Alan Rickman) is a Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions teacher. His appearance is quite frightening: black long hair and a constantly gloomy appearance. Treated Harry extremely poorly throughout the series, but there was a reason for this. Severus was in love all his life with Potter's mother, Lily. It was because of this that he disliked the main character (since Lily preferred Harry's father, James, to him). But Severus himself, without showing his actions, tried to help Potter in many difficult situations.

Albus Dumbledore Michael Gambon) - director of the Hogwarts School of Wizardry, one of the most powerful magicians of his time. According to the creators, it is the embodiment of “all that is good”, does not contradict students, and allows them to independently learn from their mistakes. He likes to speak quite straightforwardly, even the most unpleasant facts. Unlike many wizards, he does not place a particularly important emphasis on the purebred nature of magicians - he treats everyone equally.

Minerva McGonagall is Dumbledore's deputy and later the headmaster of Hogwarts. He is distinguished by his serious character and does not like the jokes of his charges. She devoted her entire life to teaching transfiguration at school (this subject was not chosen by chance - Minerva is an animagus who takes the form of a tabby cat).

It was these characters from the film “Harry Potter” from the teaching staff who played especially important roles. By and large, they changed the course of the fairy tale with their presence.

Harry Potter characters fighting for the dark side

Lord Voldemort is the main villain of the epic, the strongest dark magician, who almost achieved his immortality with the help of Horcruxes. Fiercely he hated half-breeds (children of wizards and Muggles), although he himself was the same. It was for this reason that he killed his father - a man. He looked quite intimidating: pale thin skin, dark big circles around eyes, thin body and long fingers. Smart, was best student at Hogwarts, strived to learn everything new, is very talented in dark magic and has outstanding abilities (however, according to Dumbledore, he often “forgot” and did not learn important subtleties).

(Helena Bonham Carter) is a death eater, one of Voldemort's most loyal associates. Black head of thick hair with a small gray strand of the same color big eyes and a dark face. She killed godfather Harry Potter - Sirius Black, who treated the main character very well. Before the Order of the Phoenix, she was a prisoner in Azkaban (a large prison for wizards, from where it is difficult to escape), but escaped with other Death Eaters.

One of the traitors

Peter Pettigrew is an animagus who takes the form of a rat, a longtime friend of the protagonist's father, James Potter. By nature, he is a weak and helpless wizard. That is why he chose Voldemort as his patron, betraying the Potter family. It was his fault that Harry's parents died. He was loved by Scabbers in the Weasley family, where he lived for 13 years. He dies from the owner's gift - a silver hand, which strangled him, regarding his fleeting weakness as another betrayal.

Magical creatures

The list of Harry Potter characters is not limited to ordinary people. Since this is a fairy tale, then, accordingly, there are unrealistic heroes in it.

Dobby is a house elf with intelligence and the ability to speak. Like all such creatures, it must belong to its owner. At the beginning of the story, he was Lucius Malfoy (Draco's father), but in "Chamber of Secrets" he was released from service through a trick with Harry Potter's sock. A very kind creature, he tried to help the main characters more than once.

Buckbeak (does not speak) is Rubeus Hagrid's hippogriff. A proud, beautiful creature: the body of a mighty horse with the wings and head of an eagle. We are very vulnerable.
