Appearance

Harry is a black-haired boy marked by a distinctive lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. The scar causes him pain and nightmares connected to Voldemort's actions and thoughts. 345 1018

• Black hair 345
• Lightning scar on his forehead 362
• The scar reacts painfully to Voldemort and can accompany visions of him 842 1018

Personality

Harry is brave to the point of recklessness. He repeatedly chooses action over hiding, even when facing Voldemort, Death Eaters, Dementors, or dangerous magical creatures. His courage is rooted in loyalty to his friends and anger at Voldemort's crimes rather than a desire for fame. 963 1208 1551

Fame burdens him more than it flatters him. Public suspicion over his Parseltongue, pressure as Gryffindor's Seeker, and the Ministry's attempts to discredit him leave him wary of public opinion. Over time, he becomes more calculating: he gathers evidence for his hearing, destroys the Prophecy Sphere before Voldemort can claim it, and treats secrecy as necessary for survival. 376 602 994 1100 1320
