Propp's characters theory in relation to the Harry Potter films...

Hi everyone, today I will be relating the Propp's character theory (which I have previously talked about) to the Harry Potter movies in order to give a better understanding, hope you enjoy...

The Hero: In the Harry Potter films, oviously Harry Potter is the hero. This is because Harry is the protagonist who is on a quest to ultimatley defeat Voldemort (The villian). 

The Villian: Voldemort ("He who must not be named") is the villian in the Harry Potter films as he is the character who brings danger and chaos to the lives of others. The villian is the one who must be stopped by the hero.

The dispatcher: Dumbledore is the dispatcher in the Harry Potter films as hetells Harry (the hero) what he needs to do to stop the danger and chaos that is brought by Voldemort. For example, this is shown after Dumbledores death when Harry has to find the horcrux's.

Dumbledore is also The Donor as he leaves Ron, Hermione and Harry the Deluminator, The tales of Beedle the Bard and the Golden snitch (The stone of resurrection) which help restore normality.      

                                                                     

  

The helpers: In the Harry Potter films, Hermione and Ron are the helpers for Harry and they go on the quest with him to help defeat Voldemort. 

'The Princess':  In the chamber of secrets, Ginny plays this character as she is put into danger by the Voldemort/Tom Riddle (the villian) and needs the help of Harry (the hero) to save her.

The false hero: In the Goblet of fire, Professor Moody is the false her are people think that he is professor moody when in reality it is Bartemius Crouch Jr. is disguise.
