•Characterization is a writer’s tool, or “literary device”
that occurs any time the author uses details to teach
us about a person. This is used over the course of a
story in order to tell the tale. Let’s figure it out from the
example below:

41. CHARACTERIZATION
In the harry potter series, Dobby refers to Potter as “the
noble Harry Potter,” or “good Harry Potter”.

42. It is a description of the
most typical or important
qualities of the
characters.

described by Dobby in the
