A question aimed at fans of the characters in Harry Potter?

As you referred your assessment of the characters in Harry Potter as how much screen time they got, I doubt you read the books. The characters that you mentioned didn't get enough screen time when they were in the movies. Lupin and Tonks relationship was virtually absent from the film versions of the books, with only a mention of how they were married (which to the casual Harry Potter viewer, would ask when did they start dating, when their relationship was mentioned in great detail in the sixth Harry Potter book) and when Remus mentioned that his son would grow up knowing what his parents had died for, when Teddy Lupin wasn't mentioned before that moment, except for a deleted scene when Tonks and Lupin talked about him. Lupin was said to have one of the worst interpretations in the movies, compared to him being in the book, since he gets so little screen time and he has so much for the books.

Neville also had great character development, especially when Bellatrix Lestrange and her husband and brother in law, three of the four people who tortured his parents into insanity, broke out of Azkaban prison. Before the fourth book (when their torture was mentioned in a court hearing, in the book, for Barty Crouch Jr, and the Lestranges, and in the movie, Karkaroff turned in Barty Jr. only. The scene when he visited his parents in St. Mungos Hospital and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny met him there by mistake when following Lockhart, who has escaped from his ward was cut, so Harry's friends never discovered what happened to his parents. Harry also didn't ask Dumbledore about his parents and Dumbledore didn't present it in the movie.

You get more out of the characters when you read the books than when you watch the movies. There are many minor characters who have larger roles in the books who have little or no screen time in the movies. For example, Dobby was in every book, except for the first and third, and he only appears in the second and seventh part 1 movies. Stan Shunpike only appears in one of the films, but he also appears in the third-seventh books, in various amounts, including only a mention in the sixth book, but a serious mention in that book. Mrs. Figg watched Harry when the Dursleys took Dudley out to fun places for his birthday. Mrs. Figg only appeared in the fifth movie,

Well some actors dont need loads of screen time to show the development of their character if that's what you mean by the movie.

But when people like me praise harry potter characters it is based on the book. Tonks and Lupin have huge parts in the books and are very well developed as they go along. Also jk Rowling is a wonderful writer so I think she could make any character work well. Even if they where only mentioned once. I really love the way she portrayed Luna lovegood.

Harry Potter was well developed.

The emotions were there, exactly how an actual person would potray them: fear, anxiety, concern, etc. It showed what pain could do -- even though we'll never experience what Harry did -- we can relate in the sense that we knew what he was going through and we could relate to what was portrayed in the books and movies; nothing was half-*** like some many movies are - it actually captured things a lot of movies and novels lack. The emotional aspect and perspective is something a lot of writers forget when they start a creation; they think it's all about dialogue, about where the characters are going and what they're feeling and while this is true; the actual feelings, the actual emotions are what push people to become moved, awed or adored by the movie and novel.

People like things they can relate to, they like feeling as though they're apart of the story and that they're not just skimming through pages - but a world they really believe their part of, a world that allows them to escape the everyday stress that is their lives.

I really like the harry potter books and that i didnt suppose that i might in the beginning. I strongly recommend you get Stephen Kings 7 publication sequence the Gunslinger. Its has elements of close to every style in them from the west to the reward time its a rather exciting learn its not like several of his different books and that i learn them again and again. Some more good books would be the Ender sequence with the aid of Orson Scott Card. They handle youngsters being knowledgeable to fight an alien being who has already tried to take over earth once and are attempting once more. Significantly if i might i'd read simplest these 2 authors for the leisure of my lifestyles. Hope i helped:)

Personally I think harry potter as characters did so well from living the dream we're supposed to grow out of with magic and fighting. Harry's pain is what makes him him, and as a reader it can often ignite an almost sympathetic or emphatic response to his experiences. Perhaps the most shocking thing is the shirt which finally fit : when harry was twelve and living under the stairs he was given hand me downs and was seen wearing a flanneled shirt sizes to big for him, but in one of the last scenes of the final movie he is wearing it again, but as a man who has grown through the bullying and the pain of loss and fought evil at the darkest of times, it fits. But perhaps that is more the movie credit than the book itself.

I'm not a big fan, but I'm still waiting for that owl to bring my letter.
