PLOT POINT 2:

Proactive Protagonist

Harry continues the trend of a reactive protagonist early in his Character Arc. In the beginning of his story, Harry is at the mercy of his aunt and uncle. However, like Jane, he has a proactive side to him. He fights for his letters and rebukes the Dursleys for keeping so much hidden from him.

As Harry moves into his story, he becomes extremely proactive.

Story Goal

Harry's story goal of learning what is being guarded inside of Hogwarts (the Sorcerer's Stone) and who is trying to steal it has not yet surfaced.

Because Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first in a seven book series, the story takes its time introduces Harry's story goal. Instead, Rowling gives priority to setting up the overarching story conflict and moving parts.

Brush with Antagonist

Harry's main antagonist is Voldemort. Voldemort is not present in the Inciting Incident, however his lesser antagonists (the Dursleys) are.

Question for the Climactic Moment

This is an interesting example. The main question answered in the Climactic Moment is, Will Harry overcome Voldemort?

This question is posed when we learn of Voldemort's attack and apparent downfall, and then more explicitly when Hagrid explains to Harry his origins with Voldemort.

Again, this is a unique example because of Harry's overarching Character Arc through the entirety of the series. From the first chapters, we know that Voldemort tried to kill Harry and failed. This poses the question of whether or not Voldemort will come after Harry again, and when he does, will Harry be able to defeat him?

This is answered in the Climactic Moment of Sorcerer's Stone when Harry defeats Quirrel. We know that Harry has the potential, but needs to learn more and grow stronger before he can face Voldemort and defeat him for good.

This half-answer allows the question to continue throughout the series until the end of book seven.
