Character description 5th June 2020

Today the children have been thinking about the characters from Harry Potter.

William's

Hagrid is a gentle giant and is about 9 feet tall. He’s very wide too and would fill the doorway. He has chestnut brown eyes, long shaggy hair and a big bushy beard. He wears very scruffy looking clothes and a big coat that reaches the floor. He is a very smiley and happy giant and is very kind and generous to everyone, although he can be tough when he needs to be. He supports Professor Dumbledore completely and looks after Harry Potter. 

He also loves creatures and has a wild variety of pets, from Norbert the baby Dragon to Buckbeak the Gryphon. He also has a giant dog called Fang, who is a lot like Hagrid as he is very soft, gentle and huge! Hagrid always sees the best in people and animals and even befriends a giant spider called Eragon, and a three headed dog called Fluffy.

Hagrid is the groundsman for Hogwarts and lives in the school grounds in a small round hut beside the forbidden forest. The inside of his home is as messy as he is himself, full of clutter and bits and bobs. 

Hagrid has a country accent and likes to smile and laugh. He is also quite forgetful and isn’t very good at keeping secrets. He is often meeting strangers and buying curious animals from them!

I like Hagrid. He is a brilliant friend to have.

Edward's

When we first meet Neville Longbottom in first year he struggles doing the simplest of spells and tying his shoe-laces! He has shortish black hair that does not look very tidy. He has long features, to fit with his name!  He has the sort of face that is easy to overlook in a crowd. He is quite tall but he still has not learnt to stand up to bullies, like Professor Snape and Malfoy. He is very good at herbology and spends much of his time looking at books about magical plants. He has a badly behaved toad called Trevor, who is always running off. 

In the later books we learn much more about Neville. He has been brought up by his Nan, as both his parents were in Saint Mungo’s hospital. His Nan was worried that he was a squib, because he showed very little magic as a child. His Nan worries about him because of his poor memory so she sends him rememberalls to help him remember things.

In the later books Neville is one of the five people who destroys a Horcrux. This takes an amazing amount of bravery, courage and skill. These are all skills that Neville develops as he moves through the years at Hogworts helped by his friends, especially Harry. He loved being part of Dunmbledor’s army, and that is when he started to understand magic. His memory seems to get much better as he leads Dumbledors army when Harry, Ron and Hermione are not in Hogworts.
I love his character as he shows us how much people can change and how quiet, unassuming people can become heroes over time. My favourite thing that he says in reply to Harry asking how he is feeling mid battle is “I have never felt better, I feel asif i could spit fire!”

Charlie's

Victor Crum  has light, black hair. It is short and shaved close to his skin. He has piercing blue eyes as light as the sea. He has a smartly, shaved beard and has a death eater tattoo.

Victor has big broad shoulders, he is very fast and athletic. He wears smart clothing and big, shiny leather boots. Victor Crum wears a smart jacket that's red and has gold buttons down the middle of it. 
Victor often carries a gold stick, it is shiny and looks cool. Victor has the reputation of being the best seeker in the world! There is no one faster than him when he is playing Quidditch. He also plays for gryffindor, the same as Harry.
