At the Podium: JK Rowling
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?
