A. The Characteristics of the Main Character
The main character of this story is Harry Potter. Before talking about the conflicts he faces and the friendship he builds, here will be explained about his
characteristics. Harry Potter is a teenager who has a fate to fight the cruelest enemy in the Magic World. He must live suddenly in a magical world because he

1. Curiousity
Harry Potter lives in Magic World since the destiny said so. The destiny which states that he is the only one who saves from the enemy of both Magic
World and Muggle World as well as the one who can defeat the Dark Lord. He should fight the cruelest yet the darkest Wizard of the Magic World, who is Lord
Voldemort. In six previous series, Harry is always being helped by his headmaster in Hogwarts, Dumbledore, but since his headmaster died, he can only fight by
himself. When he is about to leave Muggle World, he finds some articles about his headmaster. It makes him questioni

… and it seemed to Harry now, despite the fact that his future was so dangerous and so uncertain, that he had missed irreplaceable opportunities
when he had failed to ask Dumbledore more about himself, even though the only personal question he had ever asked his Headmaster was also the only
one he suspected that Dumbledore had not answered honestly:
„What do you see when you look in the mirror?‟ „I? I see myself holding a pair of thick, woolen socks.‟ Rowling, 2010: 31
Now that the headmaster is already dead, Harry feels curious about what secret Dumbledore has besides his past.
Another curiousity is when he is given Snape‘s memory when Snape is about to die. As Snape alives, Snape and Harry are not a friend. Snape always
gives Harry difficulty and he hates Harry so much. Then when Snape gives Harry his memory, Harry tries to see it as soon as he arrives to Hogwarts‘ castle.
The castle was completely empty; even the ghosts seemed to have joined the mass mourning in the Great Hall. Harry ran without stopping,
clutching the crystal flask of Snape‘s last thoughts, and he did not slow
