In this episode, we break down Nymphadora Tonks. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:40 What role does she play? This is a difficult question because we see her in many different settings despite her short time in the story. She begins as a way for Harry to share his grief about Sirius. But in the end, she becomes a representation of all the sacrifices that have been made so Harry can win.

· 10:12 Strengths and weaknesses. For strengths, Tonks is very positive. She always has a good outlook and doesn’t let what others say get her down. However, one of her weaknesses is how she gets in her own head and blames herself for her problem. For example, she blamed herself for Sirius’s death.

· 16:12 How would the story change if she wasn’t in it? We probably wouldn’t have the same perspective for the story. She helps Harry with Sirius in the Half-Blood Prince, and later she is killed in the line of duty. Without her, we wouldn’t understand just how much had to be sacrificed for Harry to beat Voldemort.

· 25:09 What is Tonks’ defining moment? It may have been when she died, because that is when the true value of her sacrifice came into focus. That’s the moment that represents the culmination of her actions. She died fighting for a better world for her child. If she had the chance to take it back, she probably wouldn’t. To rap it all up, Tonks is the representation of what we are all fighting for and the hope that was the difference between victory and defeat.
