COMPLEMENTARY HARMONY

 **DEFINITION:** The complementary color scheme is made of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. This scheme looks best when you put a warm color against a cool color, for example, red versus green. The complementary scheme is intrinsically high-contrast.

 *  ANALYSIS **

Red and green are complementary colors that are used in the movie to contrast the two houses, Gryffindor and Slytherin. The use of complementary colors emphasizes the rivalry between the two houses. The tension and competitiveness is depicted especially in the scene in which they have a quidditch match. Gryffindor seems to represent victory as they are wearing red, a color normally associated with victory, while the Slytherin team wear green to symbolize envy.
