Top Ten Important Characters

Top Ten Important Characters

1. Harry Potter: The main character. Everything in this book and the series revolves around him. He is filled with bravery, love and compassion. He is the Chosen One to vanquish Lord Voldemort forever. Harry also has leadership skills and runs the show. Harry makes all the plans and without him this book wouldn’t exist. Not to mention he destroyed two Horcruxes.
2. Voldemort: The prime antagonist. Voldemort is a terrible and great villain. Voldemort is the character that provides all the conflict. He is a very important character because of his Horcruxes that make him a near invincible bad guy, and the fact that he is almost in complete control of the Wizarding World of Britain.
3. Ron Weasley: Harry Potter’s best friend, he has been at his side for the whole series and even destroys a Horcrux in this book. Despite a conflict in this book where Ron leaves the group, he is guided back by advice and determination to help others, so his relationship with Harry and Hermione is strengthened.
4. Hermione Granger: Harry Potter’s other best friend; Hermione has created all the plans and is the most logically smart witch of the group. In this novel Hermione contributes to the destruction of Voldemort by destroying a Horcrux. She is a round character, helpful, caring, and bright.
5. Severus Snape: Snape has been on the rocks throughout the series. He has been subject to judgment by his friends, supposed friends, and enemies. However, the fact that Snape kept his cover for the greater good defines his character, making him the bravest man in the series. He was a spy but he should get as much respect as a great warrior.
6. Albus Dumbledore: Although this powerful character is in this book for a short time, he plays a major role throughout the series and is in the book in spirit. Dumbledore is a selfless, good wizard who helps out Harry and the gang by leaving clues about his intentions. He is a very mysterious character in that he held all the cards and nobody knew what he meant. He is a very important character and he destroyed a Horcrux.
7. Neville Longbottom: He may not be the most intelligent character in the book, but he has many other attributes that make him an important character. He is proud, brave, loving, and strong. Neville was chosen by Harry to carry on killing Horcruxes to finish Voldemort, so this shows that, at least in Harry’s eyes, he is a very important character.
8. Bellatrix Lestrange: She is Voldemort’s Lieutenant and right hand woman. Although she has had some screw ups in the past, she is a very important character because Voldemort chose her vault in Gringotts to hold his Horcrux, and Voldemort still respects her despite blunders in other books. She is an important character in the book because she is a key component in Voldemort’s reign of terror.
9. Ollivander: This very interesting character has made a few appearances in past books, but his job, thoughts, and knowledge are essential to the plot of this book. Ollivander is a Wandmaker and tells Harry about some secrets of Wandlore, which help Harry solve Dumbledore’s clues on the Deathly Hallows to end Voldemort.
10. Griphook: A cunning Goblin who helps Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He was in captivity at the Malfoy Manor when Harry rescued him. Griphook gave him essential information about a Horcrux and helped them break into Gringotts to steal it. Griphook was helpful, but a resentful and nasty Goblin, but nonetheless helptful.
