Chooses good over evil from "summary" of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling
Throughout the story, Harry Potter consistently shows a strong moral compass, always making choices that align with what is right and just. Despite facing numerous temptations and challenges, Harry consistently chooses to do what is good and noble, even when it may be easier to give in to darker impulses. When faced with the opportunity to cheat his way to success, Harry instead chooses honesty and integrity. For example, during his first Quidditch match, Harry could have easily accepted help from Hermione's enchanted object to ensure victory. Instead, he opts to rely on his own skills and abilities, ultimately leading his team to success through hard work and determination. Additionally, Harry consistently demonstrates compassion and empathy towards others, even those who may not show him the same kindness. When Draco Malfoy taunts and belittles him, Harry chooses not to stoop to his level, instead showing restraint and maturity. This ability to rise above petty conflicts and treat others with kindness is a testament to Harry's unwavering commitment to goodness. Moreover, Harry's actions consistently reflect a deep sense of justice and fairness. When he learns about the injustices suffered by his friend Hagrid, Harry is quick to stand up for him and fight against the injustice he faces. This sense of righteousness drives Harry to take action against those who seek to harm others, demonstrating his unwavering dedication to doing what is right, even in the face of adversity.- Harry's unwavering commitment to choosing good over evil serves as a powerful example of the importance of staying true to one's values and principles, even when faced with difficult decisions. His ability to consistently make choices that align with what is right and just not only sets him apart as a hero but also inspires those around him to do the same.
