3. Harry Potter

Strengths: Loyal, courageous, passionate, modest. Weaknesses: Emotional, stubborn. Post-Voldemort Life: Head of Auror Office. Before every reader gets out a pitchfork, hear this out. Severus Snape put it best in Book 6, when he described Harry to Narcissa and Bellatrix: €œ"Of course, it became apparent to me very quickly that he had no extraordinary talent at all. He has fought his way out of a number of tight corners by a simple combination of sheer luck and more talented friends. He is mediocre to the last degree.€ There€™s a grain of truth to that; the magic powerful that protects Harry is not of his own doing, but rather, it was the result of his mother€™s sacrifice. Many times, Harry is being carried over the finish line, usually by Hermione. And for the first five books, Harry is little more than a pawn in the chess game that the adults are playing €” Dumbledore, Snape, and company are working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep him alive and manipulate his actions. Harry€™s obviously crucial to the downfall of Voldemort €” this is his story, after all. But too often, he€™s the bystander to his own destiny.
