5. Bravery
It is probably the strongest characteristic of Harry Potter. By being brave, Harry can face, fight, and defeat Voldemort. From the beginning of the story, he
shows this characteristic clearly. He is ready to face Voldemort by himself.
‗Ive got to go too,‘ said Harry. Ten pairs of startled eyes looked at him.
‗Dont be silly, Harry,‘ said Mrs Weasley, ‗What are you talking about?‘ ‗I cant stay here.‘
He rubbed his forehead; it was prickling again; it had not hurt like this for more than a year.
‗Youre all in danger while Im here. I dont want –‘ Rowling, 2010: 95
He already knows what will happen if he still stay with them. So that he wants to go and fight Voldemort by himself without involving anyone. His plan is failed
since they do not let him go. Another scene of Harry‘s bravery is when he fight Voldemort by himself
in the last battle at Hogwarts. He even does not tell anyone for this plan. He does not want anyone to join him in facing Voldemort so he wears the Invisible Cloak
in order to avoiding everyone. He faces Voldemort in the forest. Harry swung the Cloak back over himself and walked on. Rowling, 2010:
763 He moved on, and now he reached the edge of the Forest, and he stopped.

He is ready to fight and defeat Voldemort by himself. He has no preparation at all. He goes to the Forest and will fight Voldemort with his all ability. He plans to
surrender as the prophecy tells that ‗Neither would live, neither could survive.‘
Harry‘s bravery convinces his two best friends to keep beside him no matter what happen. Harry is brave so do his two best friends. Their bravery
makes they protect each other. It makes stronger friendship in between the trio.
Harry has curiousity, optimist, loyalty, conscience, and bravery. Those characteristics influence Harry in building friendship with Ron and Hermione.
Harry‘s characteristics shape his personality. By being curious, Harry is eager to find out the answer of the questions that are already on his mind. He cannot
answer the questions by himself. His two best friends help him too. By being optimistic, he can make Ron and Hermione sure about what they deal with.
Harry‘s conscience makes Harry and his two best friends are able to find Horcruxes and destroy them. Being loyal to Ron and Hermione make they believe
him and never again leave each other behi nd. Harry‘s bravery shows not only Ron
and Hermione but also people of both Magic and Muggle World that he deserves to win over the evil of Dark Magic.
Their friendships are meaningful and Harry‘s characteristics contribute much. When they argue and separate, they become weaker and lose track of their
goal; but when they reconcile with each other, they become stronger.
