Harry Potter

Harry Potter is unmistakably the protagonist of the series with the same name. However, what's special about this boy that inspires such adoration among his fans? Is it merely because he is the protagonist? Or is it more?

Apart from being the story's protagonist, what makes Harry so unique? To some extent, it is because he is a genuine underdog. He not only has to face the mundane concerns of life and discover that he is a wizard, but he also has to combat Voldemort, the Wizarding World's greatest evil. Also, the whole good vs. evil conflict endears viewers to Harry. Everybody wants to be associated with those that are on the right side of history. It makes the readers feel warm and happy, which is a pleasant sensation.

"I took care not to make Harry flawless," J.K Rowling said. Nobody loves a character that is without defects, since they lack authenticity. Harry is unmistakably realistic, which is why people like him. Harry's weaknesses are his temper and his tendency to disregard his friends' advice. He makes errors, which only adds to his appeal and importance as a character. The more relatable Harry Potter is, the more fans will identify with him.
