Harry Potter, for the character writing meme

ink-splotch:

Things I like to keep in mind when writing Harry:
1. Cupboard under the stairs.
2. He doesn’t actually like that many people.
3. But he’d die for them anyway and not really think twice about it.
4. No one ever listens. No one ever helps. He stopped expecting them to way before the series starts. But he doesn’t start raging and shouting about it until book five, when it’s not just him but the whole world in danger now.
5. He keeps trying to find a dad, but they keep dying on him, and then he ends up in their shoes.
6. Snarky as hell
