Harry Potter is mainly a static character

Okay, as my opponent has listed Ebenezer Scrooge as a dynamic character, I'll start by comparing these two characters.At the beginning of the Christmas Carol:"'Don't be cross, uncle.' said the nephew. 'What else can I be,' returned the uncle, 'when I live in such a world of fools as this? Merry Christmas! Out upon merry Christmas. What's Christmas time to you but a time for paying bills without money; a time for finding yourself a year older, but not an hour richer; a time for balancing your books and having every item in them through a round dozen of months presented dead against you? If I could work my will,' said Scrooge indignantly,'every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips, should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. He should!'"At the end:"Scrooge went to church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and fro, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of houses, and up to the windows; and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed that any walk -- that anything -- could give him so much happiness." As you can see Scrooge is what you would call somewhat at the beginning, but by the end, he became kind. The transformation from good to evil or evil to good is the biggest transformation a character could undergo. Harry is good from the beginning, and stays good until the end of the series.The Beginning of Harry Potter:For the first eleven years of his life, Harry was raised by his aunt and uncle, who treated him badly, while spoiling their son. He is forced to live in a cupboard and do all of their work, and they don't even care to celebrate his birthday. And even though he received no love as a child, he put all of that behind as he went to Hogwarts, again and again performing brave acts and staying strictly to the "good" side. He is first challenged by this when Draco Malfoy introduces him and holds out his hand after insulting Ron. Harry, keeping loyal to Ron and sensing Draco's true self, refuses to shake his hand. When the Sorting Hat wants to place him in Slytherin, which according to the book, "is where all dark witches and wizards come from." Knowing this, Harry chooses to be in Gryffindor. Harry always chooses the good side and does everything in his power to save Hogwarts.Good deeds he performed as a child:1. He saved the Sorcerer's Stone and killed Quirrel.2. Proved there was a Chamber of Secrets, destroyed a Horcrux, saved Ginny Weasley.3. Saved his godfather.4. Won the Triwizard tournament and escaped Lord Voldemort.5. Fights against the Death Eaters at the Department of Mysteries and destroyed the prophecy.6. Figures out how many Horcruxes there are.Good deeds he performed as an adult (in wizard years):1. Found and destroyed the last of the Horcruxes.2. Sacrifices himself and comes back from the dead.3. Gets the Elder Wand and destroys it because he doesn't want the power.4. Duels Lord Voldemort and wins.The End:By the end of the last book, Harry is still just as kind as he was before. After he defeated Lord Voldemort, he got the opportunity for power, The Elder Wand. But instead of keeping it (the power-hungry path), he used it to fix his old wand, and then threw it away (the good path). As you can see he is making the same good choices that he began his first year of Hogwarts. You may also notice of how there is no "bad deeds" list chart to go along with the good. That's because there weren't any. Besides breaking an occasional rule to help others and help Hogwarts (which is justified, in my opinion), there weren't any.Harry is always sympathetic towards people throughout all of the books, no matter what they've done to him. e.g. He has the opportunity to kill Bellatrix in the fifth book, but doesn't, even after she killed Sirius. In the last book, he saves Draco Malfoy in the Room of Requirement right after Malfoy tried to kill him. This is another essence of Harry's "goodness" that didn't change.So although Harry made minor changes throughout the books, which is bound to happen as the books track his life from child to adult, the most important change that could happen to a character, which like I said, good to evil or vice versa, did not change with Harry. Every with Voldemort's influence on him he was strictly good. When comparing his character to that of Scrooge, he most definitely does not make that change.http://www.bookrags.com...http://holidays.kaboose.com...http://harrypotter.wikia.com...
