Answer 3

In literature, personification is the assigning of human qualities to nonhuman objects.

In the strict literary sense of the term, one such example is when the Quidditch brooms are portrayed as having temperaments and 'minds' of their own, like young untrained horses.

On a more magical note, the various portraits (such as the Fat Lady guarding the entrance to the Gryffindor common rooms) not only interact directly with the protagonists, but often with each other as well.

Answer 4

One example of personification from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the sorting hat.
