SNAPE AS SEEN IN HARRY POTTER MOVIESThe writer chooses Harry Potter movies because these sequels propose the unique
characterization through one of its characters: Severus Snape. The writer then
chooses Snape’s characterization to be analyzed relating to his ambiguity in his
attitude toward Harry Potter. In his appearance there is the tendency of hatred but
in the same time he protects and helps Harry Potter. The method of this research is
qualitative method by applying descriptive analysis. The objective of this study is
to explain the unique personality of Snape as it can be seen in 8 sequels of Harry
Potter movies. The theory used in this research is Structuralism theory about the
consistency of the character. Based on that theory, the unity of fictional characters
just can be reached through the consistency of them. From the analysis of Snape
characterization that is done by comparing his characterization in other characters’
view and his real characterization, it can be found that actually there is the
consistency of Snape characterization. The result of this research concludes that
Snape’s consistency to keep antagonist in his appearance in the beginning of the
story. Snape revealing his real characterization is a function for supporting the
story to reach the climax of the whole sequels. It means that if Snape changes his
attitude to be good, the whole story will be changed too and the climax of the
story will be different.NIM. 09150058 NOVIKA SARI
