Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze the characterization of the main character in novel and movie of The Secret Garden. In this research, the writers use descriptive qualitative research with comparative study to analyze the characterization of the main character, Mary Lennox, in the novel and movie The Secret Garden.

Meanwhile, there are transformation of the characterization through some reduction and addition to the characterization of the main character. Beside the difference of the method of characterization used, it is also found that there are some differences of the representation of Mary Lennox’s character between the novel and the movie.
