PROTAGONIST CHARACTERIZATION
The Protagonist In Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets would have to be Harry himself. In this book, Harry is what you would call a rounded character, which means he changes and grows as a person, and in his case a wizard.I found many cases in this book where Harry is acting as a scared boy, more than the great wizard everyone expects him to be. He has many human traits, and many human fragilities because of being raised as a muggle for 11 years. Physically, Harry is a small boy with shaggy hair and glasses.I really enjoyed Harry's bravery, while still showing a great amount of innocence. He may get himself into many dangerous positions, but he always manages to live to tell his adventurous tales.
