Answer 2

If you mean who is the main storyteller in the harry potter books, then it is an unnamed omnipresent nonobjective third person. You can tell because while the narrator comments often of harrys emotion, there is never any input on it. Also, while most of the story is told from harrys point of view, there are times when it is told from the point of view of someone who has no close introspective connection to harry, such as the beginning of the first book when professors dumbledor and mcgonagall are talking, and leave harry on his aunt and uncles porch, or when, at the beginning of the sixth book, the prime minister of the muggle and magical worlds are talking (as opposed to a close introspective connection, such as the beginning of the third and fourth books, when harry is connected to lord voldemort through his dreams, which, because of events fully described in the seventh book, is a direct connection into his mind.) hope this helped :)
