Background / History

Harry grew up neglected and abused by the Dursleys in the Muggle world. Accidental magic repeatedly manifested around him: his hair regrew after being cut, clothing changed size, and he unexpectedly escaped Dudley’s gang by appearing on a school roof. He later demonstrated that he could understand snakes while trapped in a zoo enclosure. 587 1039

On entering Hogwarts, Harry was sorted into Gryffindor despite the Sorting Hat suggesting that he could achieve more in Slytherin. He quickly distinguished himself in the air, catching Neville Longbottom’s Remembrall on his first broom flight and joining Gryffindor’s Quidditch team. 416 2696

During his school years, Harry became central to several conflicts surrounding Voldemort. He killed the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets with the Sword of Gryffindor, surviving the creature’s venom through Phoenix tears. He later formed Dumbledore’s Army in response to Dolores Umbridge’s refusal to permit practical defensive instruction. 2690 542 864

Harry’s connection to Voldemort, particularly his Parseltongue, led some to suspect that he was a Horcrux. Pomona Sprout disputed this conclusion and instead investigated whether the ability could stem from a distant Gaunt-family connection in the Potter bloodline. 501 806 1039

After the war, Harry married Ginny Weasley and became father to James. He served as an Auror, at one point holding the title of Director, while continuing to face public attention he did not want. He also returned to Hogwarts to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts. 202 543 1090

Appearance

Harry is a black-haired wizard with striking green, almond-shaped eyes and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. His hair is notably difficult to tame and regrows rapidly after being cut. 434 1039

• Untidy black hair. 322 1039
• Lake-green eyes. 418
• Lightning-shaped forehead scar that hurts in Voldemort-related circumstances. 429 656

Personality

Harry longs for an ordinary, private life despite being treated as a public symbol and celebrity. He avoids parties, crowds, autograph-seekers, and the expectations attached to the title of Savior. 190 1036 1054

He is protective of his family and friends. Concern for Ginny and James motivates him to study the Fidelius Charm, and he takes his role as Teddy Lupin’s godfather seriously. 235 429

Harry is also prone to impulsive action. His decision to enter the Department of Mysteries with Dumbledore’s Army led to Sirius Black’s death, and his judgment has been criticized as reckless by those around him. 107 176 480
