Characterisation : Story Excerpt - Explanatory Paragraph on Techniques Used

A defining characteristic of the fictional character Harry Potter is his loyalty to his friends. He values his friends very much and is very faithful to them. This is illustrated in my story with his actions. It can be seen by the way he reacts to Ron’s arrival that he is very intimate with his two best friends, Hermione and Ron. However, the moment Hermione is being bullied by Malfoy, Harry immediately drops what he is doing and confronts Malfoy, even going so far as to use the threat of violence on him, actually carrying out his threat later on. Harry is also impulsive. Whenever he sees an open chance of saving someone no matter what danger lies ahead he takes his chances. Similarly, he is willing to face the consequences of his retaliation to Malfoy’s assault as long as his friends are safe. It can be seen throughout the story excerpt that he always puts his friends before anything else. It can also be seen in the way Harry treats his friends that he is very friendly and warm from the way he treats his friends. Malfoy mentioned that Harry was well known. This is true. He was reknowned throughout the school mainly because of his powerful command of magic. This power is demonstrated when, using magic, he turns Malfoy’s assault against himself.
