Direct Characterization
The author tells you exactly what you need to know. Imagine this:
Harry had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair and bright-green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of Sellotape because of all the times Dudley had punched him on the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead which was shaped like a bolt of lightning. He had had it as long as he could remember and the first question he could ever remember asking his Aunt Petunia was how he had got it.

Indirect
Indirect characterization is when an author shows a character’s personality through his actions or feelings, and words, or through another character’s observations and reactions.
→ Indirect characterization relies on the reader to put together the clues in order to figure out the character’s personality.
