Background / History

Harry grew up with his only known relatives, Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley, in a relationship defined by mutual dislike. He resents their treatment of him, including having been made to live in a cupboard under the stairs. 126

At Hogwarts, Harry becomes close to Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three repeatedly investigate threats around the school and protect one another through deception, dangerous expeditions, and confrontations with Dark magic. 10 75 230

His reputation as the child who defeated Voldemort at one year old places constant pressure on him. Amosta Breen’s respectful, lighthearted treatment of that reputation makes Harry feel unusually at ease. 33

Harry’s relationship with Sirius Black develops from fear and suspicion into a close godfather-ward bond. Sirius becomes a source of family and belonging for Harry, particularly in contrast to the Dursleys. 294 587 720

During Voldemort’s return, Harry openly recounts his duel with Voldemort and the Priori Incantatem phenomenon, in which apparitions of his parents aid his escape. 865 In the final confrontation at Malfoy Manor, he faces Voldemort after learning that Dumbledore and Breen have destroyed Voldemort’s Horcruxes; he uses a powerful Patronus while wielding a wand provided by them. 1389

Appearance

Harry is described as a thin, fairly handsome boy with green eyes, messy hair, and a scar on his forehead. 22

• Green eyes 22
• Messy hair 22
• Thin build 22
• Distinctive forehead scar, which attracts public attention 22

Personality

Harry is courageous and instinctively protective of others, but this often leads him to act impulsively. He attempts to rescue Sirius immediately after believing he is in danger and later reflects painfully when his visions lead his friends into a trap. 1322 1324

He is deeply kind-hearted. When Breen orders him to simulate killing a dummy of Sirius, Harry cannot do it; Breen explains that this hesitation is kindness rather than cowardice. 228

Harry matures in his understanding of other people’s burdens. He recognizes Ron’s jealousy and pressure after Hagrid explains Ron’s perspective, and he learns to accept help rather than facing every danger alone. 597 1322
