Background / History

On November 1, 1981, Harry survived an attack by Voldemort as a newborn and stripped the Dark wizard of his power, forcing him to retreat. The event made him a celebrated figure across Britain, where wizards began calling him “The Boy Who Lived.” 1

Harry bears a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. Glen Howard identifies the mark as a Blood Protection Charm—an ancient magic capable of resisting and rebounding the Killing Curse. Harry himself remembers only a flash of green light from the attack. 2 6

By 1991, Harry has been raised by his aunt and uncle and knows little about his parents. He later seeks information about them from Hogwarts’ house-elves, learning that his father had been a prominent Gryffindor and that his mother excelled in Potions. 33 47

Personality

New to the magical world, Harry is often confused and uneasy around its customs, particularly when he first reaches King’s Cross without guidance. He nevertheless follows Glen’s instructions to enter Platform 9¾ and worries deeply after their runaway trolleys knock Percy Weasley over. 4 5 6

Harry dislikes the attention attached to his fame and is uncomfortable when others treat him as a figure from books. He is curious about his parents and the mysteries surrounding his scar, and he can speak Voldemort’s name openly when talking with Glen. 7 31 33 47

He is also determined under pressure: during the Gryffindor–Slytherin match, he holds onto his cursed broom despite being thrown through the air. 37
