34 minutes

Join Savannah Gilbo and Abigail for the second part of an inside interview with Tim Grahl, CEO of Story Grid, on our latest book, a masterwork analysis guide to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (now available for purchase!).

In this interview, we discuss how Rowling created an unforgettable cast of quirky and relatable characters in the Harry Potter series. You’ll learn insights and tips like:

How to think about the number of characters you include in your story (and what we can learn from the characters Rowling highlighted in book one).

How to write a dynamic cast of characters that can help your protagonist grow and change (and, in Harry’s case, harm or aid his ability to survive).

How Rowling layered the forces of antagonism Harry faces in this first book (and why this was necessary based on his age and skill level).

How point of view choice affects our interpretation of the events in the story—and influences whether we classify certain characters as “good” or “evil.”

And so much more…
