At the Podium: JK Rowling

Published by auria cortes at 9:48 am under Character Development, at the podium

In the embedded video, J.K. Rowling shows us the character sketches she drew for the Harry Potter series. To help you with character development, I have copied and pasted questions for you to consider.  

  • Is your character right or left-handed?
  • Does your character wear glasses, or contact lenses?
  • What about weight?  Shoe size?  Clothing size?
  • What is your character’s favorite color?  Favorite song?
  • What does your character think is his/her best feature?  Worst feature?
  • Is your character’s handwriting neat and precise, or sloppy and unintelligible?  Does your character care?
  • What kind of car does your character drive?  Is it neat and usually washed, or cluttered and “lived-in”?
  • Does your character have a collection of anything?
  • What is your character’s attitude toward money?  Is your character a bit of a spendthrift, or prone to spend freely?
  • What are your character’s hobbies?
  • What are your character’s talents?  Do his/her friends routinely call him/her when they need help in a certain area?
  • What is your character most proud of?  Most embarrassed about?
  • Does your character donate to any charities?  Play the stock market?  Gamble?  Pay child support or alimony?
  • Who are your character’s heroes?
