Professor McGonagall Character Analysis

Head of Gryffindor House and the Transfiguration teacher. McGonagall is a stern and often curt witch who demands excellence and good behavior from all of her students. Harry begins to see a more caring side to her during the three Triwizard tasks, as she makes sure to check in on Harry and see that he's okay. She trusts Dumbledore and Harry and because of this, she loses her temper several times: first when Karkaroff and Madame Maxime suggest that Dumbledore let Harry put his name in the Goblet of Fire, and then again when Cornelius Fudge refuses to believe Harry and Dumbledore that Voldemort has returned.
