Datasets

All of the dataset can be found under the data/ folder. There are two important files:

• characters.csv which is a list of 65 Harry Potter characters that we decided to explore.
• relations.csv is a list of undirected relations between each character. The type denotes if the two characters are allies or enemies.

Note that most of the relations were checked with facts from the Harry Potter Wikia.
