Who are my Harry, Hermione and Ron?
Why do I feel like I want my novel to relate to people like the Harry Potter novels did? Is that even possible for me? It was a very rare occurrence and not likely to happen again anytime soon but why decide in advance that I can't do it? Why not shoot for the stars and see what happens?
Voldemort - goal was to achieve immortality through murder.
Anakin Skywalker - achieve immortality through aligning with a genocidal murderer and then becoming one himself.
Harry Potter - goal was to help his friends defeat the threat of Voldemort. Harry was all about his friends.
I have had several protagonists in past story ideas. I have had Alain Latin, Hugh Nivers, Archimagus, Geneva England and maybe some others that I can't remember at the moment.
