At first, Harry Potter can be considere as a hero because he distinguishes himself from the others because he defeated Lord Voldemort.
He is the only wizard who did it.
Harry is the one who embodies our desire to escape our dull life to reach the light.
Harry's birth was announced by a prophecy which said that he is the only one who can save the world.
In each book, we can feel that his life is threatened.
Harry Potter is a willing hero but also an anti-hero.
In fact in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, he accepts his destiny which is to kill or to be killed.
So Harry sacrifices himself to save the others and to lead them in a safe world.
The fact that Voldemort attacks Harry's friends shows that Harry is guilty of the others' pain.
In addition, the reader can easily identify with Harry.
He is not more handsome than an other, he has a scar on his forehead.
He is gifted in magic but his friend Hermione is better.
Everybody can identify with him.
From the first to the last book, Harry leaves to kill Voldemort and save the world.
A real community was born around him.
This community is called the Potterheads.
A lot of children have read his adventures.
This saga is the first which has given the joy of reading to millions of children.
We fell so close to Harry because even if he's a wizard, we share the same occupations.
I hope to have shown you that Harry Potter is a hero.
He represents the values of bravery, strengh, generosity, determination and sacrifice.
He is a role model for a generation and the magic around him will continue for a long time.
