Who are the main characters in 'Harry and the Old Professor Mystery Novels'?

In these mystery fantasy novels, Harry might be a character full of energy and a thirst for adventure. He may be the one who stumbles upon the initial mystery that sets the story in motion. The old professor could be a reclusive figure, but once Harry gets his attention, they form a partnership. The old professor could have a library full of ancient tomes that hold the keys to the mysteries in the story. Harry might be the one who drags the old professor out of his comfort zone to explore the unknown parts of their fantasy world.

I think that the themes of 'Harry and the Old Professor Mystery Novels' are quite diverse. Mystery is the obvious one. They might be searching for lost artifacts or solving crimes. There could also be a theme related to the relationship between the generations. Harry, who might be younger, and the old professor would have different perspectives, and through their interactions, we can see how they bridge that gap while on their mystery - solving quests.

One could be 'The Name of the Wind' by Patrick Rothfuss. It has elements of mystery as the main character's past is full of secrets and it's set in a richly imagined fantasy world. Another is 'Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell' which combines mystery with a unique take on English magic. And 'The Magicians' by Lev Grossman also fits, with its blend of a young protagonist's journey filled with mystery and magic at a magical school, much like the feel of 'Harry and the Old Professor' might imply.

Obviously, Harry Potter and Professor Vector are the main characters. Harry is the well - known hero from the original series, and Professor Vector, who is usually associated with teaching at Hogwarts, will play a significant role in the fanfiction.

The main characters in the Mystery of the Old Sea Chest Story could include a protagonist, perhaps a local fisherman who accidentally finds the old sea chest while cleaning out his boat shed. There might be an elderly neighbor who has heard tales about the chest from his own parents. And then there could be a female archaeologist who is brought in to analyze the contents of the chest. The fisherman's curiosity drives him to explore the chest, the neighbor provides some local lore and the archaeologist uses her expertise to make sense of the historical significance of the items in the chest.

Hermione would surely be there. She might be a fellow professor, teaching a subject like Transfiguration or Ancient Runes. She could be Harry's confidante and help him with academic matters at Hogwarts. Also, Ron could make an appearance, perhaps as a visiting lecturer from time to time, sharing his knowledge of wizarding chess and other aspects of wizard culture.

Obviously, Lemony Professor himself is a main character. Then, Harry Potter is often included as he is the central figure in the original series. Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley might also be involved as they are Harry's friends. Sometimes other professors like Dumbledore or Snape can play important roles in the fanfiction as they interact with Lemony Professor.

The main characters are, as the title suggests, the professor and the madman.

There are also some recurring characters like the police captain who Columbo reports to. This character adds another layer to the story as he sometimes questions Columbo's unorthodox methods but in the end is always impressed by his results. And then there are the witnesses, who provide important clues for Columbo to solve the mystery.

Amanda Kendall also plays an important role. She has a relationship with Sidney that adds a touch of romance and further complexity to the story. These main characters, along with the various villagers and other secondary characters, create a rich tapestry in the Grantchester mystery novels.
