Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cameron" data-source="post: 3658046" data-attributes="member: 52735">I'd be the first to admit that I didn't bother with the whole Harry Potter phenomenon. I have read a couple of the books when I was bored and my cousins left theirs lying around, but I can as easily do without.From what I see, I'd put Hermione as LG, with a strong helping of naivety. She displayed strong idealism for the greater good, but little knowledge of how the world really works. Her efforts of doing good were thus hampered by her inability to see the practical, and her equal inability to admit that flaw (which is easily perceived as arrogance).Harry doesn't care for the law or for freedom. He just does what is right regardless. If the law says he's right, bonus! If it doesn't, too bad. However, I would say that his "Good" component is not as strong as most. He is, after all, at the end of the day, fighting for his own survival. He doesn't truly go out of his way to help people, more of a "if you encounter me, I'd be polite and not actively try to harm you" type of alignment, which is more Neutral than Good. He does sometimes display altruism, particularly where is friends is involved, but most of the time, I find that he fights Evil because Evil is after him or just to fight Evil, not for the greater good or for ideals. I'd peg him borderline TN/NG.Ron is NG. He helps people and he doesn't actively cause chaos and confusion just because. He tries to stay Lawful because of his mom, and to please Hermione, but he has a wild streak in him as well, when he lets loose. Thus, he is the wishy-washy definition of Neutral.Ole Voldy is CE through and through. He is all about himself, and quite insane to boot. He is practically classic CE, to be honest, killing people that displease him, doing what he likes without regard for Good or Evil, etc. Cold, selfish, power hungry and willing to do anything to further his ends, regardless of traditions and law.Pappy Malfoy likes to work within the system to get what he wants. He is manipulative and nasty. LE, I'd say.Baby Malfoy seems NE. He is willing to break the rules to get what he wants or torments those he doesn't like, but he is reined in by his father.Snape is CN. He is all over the place, and one of the first definitions of CN was "insane". He is not insane in the classic sense, but he is close to that, even though he is sane. It is his conflicting passions that drive him, and a Chaotic character is all about passions. He is Neutral because he doesn't care for Good or Evil. He just does what his passions dictate. He is not carefree that is the traditional CN, but darker, troubled, and brooding.Don't know about the rest.</blockquote>
