I was thinking how many times I'd got a character figured out all WRONG in the books!!! JK ~ does this deliberatley ....narrative deception ~ she feeds us a red herring or leaves a bit out or only shows one side of a character but has a whole underlying motive or persona plot revealed only at the end ( ...the bitter end for some)

1.Take Quirrell for example .... He was portrayed as a blithering bumling stuttering Quirrell. Who would have thought he'd be the actual VEHICLE for the parasite Voldermort?

When I though about it ....there were many many more?

2.Luna is another one ....At first she seems eccentric and completely off the planet. but as you get to know her ...you realize she is totally comfortable in herself, extremely clever and observant and quite fearless. But because she was different she was overlooked by the crowd and religated to the outskirts or fringe.

3.I love Neville ...because in books 1-4 he's another bumbling misfit that we are led to believe is a pretty lost cause .... but I, was amazed as I watched his chacter grow up before my eyes. Even though he was in Gryffindor from the off (begining) It seemed like a mistake ...but then we see otherwise. E.g he stood his ground showing bravery and courage when confronting the trio ... book 1, Book 4 ...Neville the acaedemic uses his brain and knowledge to help Harry by finding the Gilly weed ... Book 5, joined DA and also went to the ministry to help and support Harry.

But there were others.

Many others ~ characters of Duality.
