Alastor Moody

Alastor Moody, also known as Mad-Eye and Mad-Eye Moody, is a character from the Harry Potter series.
== Charactah Account ==
Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody is a retired Auror, with battle scars to prove it, who comes to teach at Hogwarts. An old ally of Dumbledore's, he is trusted to care for the students, despite his eccentricities from years of fighting and rampant paranoia. A member of the original Order of the Phoenix, he rejoins them later on. He fights in several battles and kicks ass repeatedly.
Moody was tough, brave and a consummate survivor, as well as an excellent fighter. He had a gruff, surly disposition. Having encountered many dangerous experiences throughout his career, he was hyper-paranoid and thought of by many as being delusional.
Moody prepared all of his own meals and drank only from his personal flask in case someone tried to poison him. He was also very distrusting of most people, being very careful of whom he relayed facts about his personal life to. He kept what he considered to be important information back even from his colleagues and superiors in the Ministry of Magic, such as his birthplace and which house he was sorted into during his attendance at Hogwarts. The latter probably with keeping in mind that the house could identify some of his more essential personality traits, making it easier for the enemy to find weaknesses in his psychological defences.

== Trivia ==
* The books describe Moody as facially disfigured to the point of inhumanity, while his film self is basically Brendan Gleeson looking shaggy. Even his nose is still in one piece.
* In the final battle of the Order of the Phoenix book, Moody not only goes down almost instantly, but is also the first good guy to do so. The film adaptation turns this on its head, as he can be seen confidently wading through Death Eaters with his magic staff (even dueling two at once), and is apparently never defeated during the battle (at least onscreen).
* In the book, when Evan Rosier is mentioned to have been killed resisting arrest, Moody quips "He took a bit of me with him", pointing at the missing chunk of his nose. In the movie, due to his adaptational attractiveness, he points to his eye when saying the line instead.
* Moody does not appear in the film adaptation of Half-Blood Prince, though in the story he only made a cameo at Dumbledore's funeral, which did not appear in the film either.
