What don't you like about Harry's character?

Like lilith said: that he constantly complains about how 'tough' it is to grow up without parents, like he's the only one who knows what that's like.

I also don't like that he refuses to see the bad in people unless he doesn't like them or is mad at them. In some cases, like Dumbledore and Ginny, he never recognized those flaws. But man, put him in a room with Draco Malfoy or Severus Snape and he couldn't tell you one good thing about them, despite the fact that they've both saved his life (Severus mais than once).

Lastly, the double standards. No one is allowed to insult his parents and when they do he has every right to go off. But it's perfectly alright for him to insult other people's parents (Narcissa, book 4). He then had the nerve to get angry when they go off.

I liked almost everythig about Harry before book 7. In book seven he suddenly turns into a double standarded idiot who thinks that Sirius was a "reckless" godfather, while Snape was "the bravest man" he has ever known, even though Snape was obsessed with his mother and was completely ok with killing innocent. He helped Harry, yeah, but so what? It doesn't make him the bravest man as well as Sirius' mistakes do not make him worse as a godfather. Harry became to judgmental over good people and less judgmental over the ones who caused pain him and the ones he loved.

That he's whining too much and never fails to remind everybody how screwed up his life is because his parents were killed por Voldemort. Look at Neville, he, like Hary had a tough life, I think that Neville had it even worse than Harry, but he doesn't feel the constant need to make people feel sorry for him.

i like harry potter beacause he is talent

nothing. I lov absolutly every thing about him
'

i amor harry but i hate when he`s like `i did this to the others`i`m alway like stop crying little bitch.:D no seriouly irhink it`s really annoying.but i amor him.:) <3

Yeah it's mostly the majority on here for me too. I can't stand his complaining and whining. He acts like he is the only person on the face of the planet probably in the wizarding world as well to grow up without parents. But other than that I don't have a huge problem with him.

I like Harry, but there are definately things about hiim that I don't like. He does seems a bit full of himself sometimes. The way he acted in the fifth book when Ron became prefect was so wrong. I don't think everybody should have been so sure that Harry would be prefect. Yes he beat Voldemort multiple time, but alot of that was, as Snape says, "a combination of sheer luck and mais talented friends." (I may be slightly misquoting.
However, I think that he is mostly a good person, and alot of his bad traits can probably be attributed to being a teenager and to being a horcrux for Voldemort.

For the most part, I do like Harry, but like everyone else brought up, the whining has got to go. I also don't like that he jumps to conclusions ("Draco's a Death Eater, I'm telling you!") even though he had no solid proof at the time. Or that he's sort of disrespectful (to Snape mainly). I understand he had a rough childhood, but so did a lot of people (Neville for instance). Does Neville go around accusing people or whining about things?

He judgmental to everyone in book 7 and how he always tried to block others out when he is in need of there help. and everyone said it 4 me the whining

But this is what makes a character a character, his annoying flaws

He was kind of a Gary Stu in the first book.

I amor Harry. And the fact that he has these character flaws shows that he isn't a Gary Sue. But I will agree that he can be a bit too fickle when it comes to judging people.

Ugh, he's so annoying when he thinks that he's got the toughest life in the world. How no one knows how it feels. How he should be the one to take on the world and that he's alone while everyone else watches on the sideline.

I mean, come on! He thinks he's got it so tough when there are so many people who have it worse than him. He thinks no one undertsands him. He's so "Oh my gosh, I'm the one who has to save the world. Yeah, I won't let my friends help me, even though I can't do this por myself!"

I find him to be a very self absorbed person. Harry was capable of being sympathetic toward a person's situation. But he seemed incapable of really understanding someone . . . including his best friends. He lacked empathy. The closest he has ever came to understanding someone was Ron in "HALF-BLOOD PRINCE". For once in his life, he truly seemed aware of Ron's insecurities. But . . . he only did so, because those insecurities stood in his way of forming a first rate Quidditch team. In the end, Ron's insecurities were still all about him.

Harry was almost a borderline emotional vampire, despite his ability for sympathy. Someone once pointed out that he had no problems with accepting his friends' support and took their understanding of him for granted. But he was not good at offering support to them - especially when they really needed it.


Yes he beat Voldemort multiple time . . .

When did that happened?
