Choice Book Report Part 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

         The main character in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was of course, Harry Potter. Harry Potter is unique from most of the other characters in this book because of what he has gone through in his life. Harry loses his parents at a very young age and doesn't know anything about them. Plus, when his parents were killed voldemort tried to kill harry too, but he failed. When he failed to kill him he left a noticable scar on his forhead that aches him at time to time. Because his parents were killed, Harry is forced to live with his horrible aunt, uncle, and there spoiled son and Harry's cousin, Dudley. Harry's aunt, uncle, and cousin treat him very poorly. They blame him for things he did not commit and they make him sleep in the cellar under the stairs. His aunt and uncle didn't even bother to tell the correct way his parents died. But living with his horrible relatives only made him stronger and have a better appreciation for life. Harry Potter is a very confident person. I belive he is confident because of his roll on the quidditch team. He took on one of the most imortant rolls on the team even tho he was just learining how to play and he was one of the youngest people out there playing in front of the whole school. I also think he is brave for bending the rules of Hogwarts and basically everywhere else. In my opinion Harry is easy to get along with. He seems to have a lot of friends at school and he appears to be popular everywhere he goes. He was even a celebrity and he didn't even know until he found out he was a wizard. He is also very mature. An example of this is basically being the only person for himself until he went to Hogwarts and met new people to help support himself. Over all I think Harry is a very stable person who could live independantly if he chose to but decides not too. I also think that even for a make believe character he is a very inspiring person.
