Harry Potter and The Order of The Pheonix by J.K. Rowling.
Sirius Black, is a changing character. In the third book, he is a mass-murderer that "killed" 13 people in broad daylight. Harry ended up finding out that Sirius is innocent, and Harry's godfather. In this book, Sirius serves as the mentor. Being Harry's godfather (and only thing like a father figure), Harry writes to Sirius whenever he needs advice about the wizard world. Sirius also teaches Harry about Vodlemort and the Death Eater's movement and plans. Although what Sirius teaches Harry isn't always approved by others, or always right/true, Sirius and Harry's bond will keep Harry believing Sirius' every word.
Good example, Serious Black is a good character. He is also a bit of a shapeshifter in Harry's eyes because he "shifted" into something very different than Harry first thought. Serious didn't want to be seen as a murderer in the first place, but he certainly changed rather unsuspectedly in the way Harry viewed him.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Sirius is a shapeshifter, but through most of the series there are many others that are more-so then he is, such as Severus Snape or Albus Dumbledore. They changed multiple times, whereas Sirius only changed once.
