|Which have your read? I've read all of HP|
and only the first 2 in CB.
Your primary characters are the leads in your story. These always include your protagonist and may include your antagonist (if there is only one or a primary antagonist). Your primary character may or may not be your narrator. However, your primary character is, literally, the most important character in the story. This is the person that wants or needs something, and the entire story will be about that character trying to fill this want or need.
Some memorable primary characters:
- Olivia (picture book)
- Amelia Bedelia (early reader)
- Clementine (chapter book)
- Calpurnia Tate (middle grade)
- Sabriel (teen)
Books can also have multiple primary characters. This occurs when there is a shared protagonist or you can think of it as the book having an ensemble cast.
Some great examples of books with multiple protagonists:
- Toot & Puddle (picture book)
- Frog & Toad (easy reader)
- Magic Tree House (Jack & Annie) (chapter book)
- The Penderwicks (middle grade)
- 13 Reasons Why (teen)
