How Harry Potter CHEATS at Character Development

J.K. Rowling does some finessing with Harry Potter’s character development, and I’m not having any of it.

i think it's also interesting how almost no one mentions harry when asked about their favorite character of the series

When you pointed out the paradoxes, it became really interesting. Because yeah, JK did just have her cake whole and eaten as well xD. It's Almost hilarious.

And it's definitely cheating yeah. She made him so everyone would love him. But i think it was in her character. In JK rolling all along. That her in there. She was both sides of the coin, or that was at some way what she wanted to be. I know that I wanna be that. But I wanna be a different person than that. I wanna be myself. And that wouldn't be me

I think she wrote the story when she wanted everything to be perfect. And created such a story successfully. Even when he failed, he did so successfully. JK did use whatever aspects of his backstory suited her. It's like he wasn't even a person. He was a back of tricks that where pulled out as needed. A bag full of experiences that all of us wanna have. All combined into one, all too convenient, "Person".

Jk rolling definitely cheated.but I'm not sure if she realised that she was doing that. I think it was just her world view at that point and it just reflected onto the story on a perfect way.
She was just lucky. Because if she wasn't. And she did do it with her own skills, and not out of luck, then I don't know why fantastic beast turned into such a disaster

That's a shockingly good observation, damn

I'm probably not exactly the target audience for this, as I've only seen the first three Harry Potter movies and read none of the books, but I'll give my two cents from an outsider's perspective anyway. 😅

Honestly, when you were describing the paradoxes that make up Harry Potter, and that you suspected JK Rowling made her protagonist that way because of mass appeal, it made me think of Spider-Man. I remember reading that when Stan Lee made that character, superhero alter-egos were adults, but by making Peter Parker a teenager, he was closer in age to the target audience of comic books, which I think directly led to his massive popularity. I have no idea if JK Rowling was inspired by Peter Parker in crafting Harry Potter, but maybe it's just the general "everyman" character trope that has the greatest mass appeal, and therefore she wanted her protagonist to be that way, so she made sure that the key paradoxes would allow him to be both average and legendary at the same time.

Also, I loved the funny moments, as I think they worked well as an augment to your style (the clip of the guy slapping the display character on his head at 6:14 was my personal favorite, and got a cackle out of me), so please keep them up, and I'm looking forward to your next video!

10m points for grifindor xD
So true if you look at it out of context

[AntivenomOW]

Can you do a video about Naruto next, if you’ve seen it? Everybody calls him a cheater, but I don’t think so and it would cool to see your thoughts on it.

Be you feel like the chosen one, or the one who lost it to someone else (like your big sis?) 😂

"What a scrub" 😂😂😂 i thought for a minute you were going to say a different word there 😅

Awesome video bro!!! Love what you're creating!
