My attitude towards many of the characters have changed in some ways. I thought I was gonna be annoyed by teenage angsty Harry's outbursts in Order of the Phoenix, but I was actually somewhat sympathetic. He was never as much of an asshole as his father was, despite being far more famous. It seems that James would have made someone like Neville his bitch, like Peter, or bullied him, like Snape. Fortunately, the story shows that people can change in their adulthood, though some people will always be childlike. I see Hagrid now as nothing but a blithering idiot. Before, I saw him as a kind, misunderstood giant.
