Background / History

Harry begins his Hogwarts education alongside Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, and Silan Prewett. He is sorted into Gryffindor, while Silan’s unexpected placement in Slytherin leaves Harry’s peers surprised 11 12.

During his first year, Harry becomes involved in the mystery surrounding the Philosopher’s Stone. He, Ron, and Hermione investigate Nicolas Flamel and suspect that Professor Snape intends to steal the Stone, while Silan supports Harry’s decision to act despite the danger 94 105 118. When Quirrell attacks, Harry trusts Silan’s intervention and escapes with him aboard Norbert the dragon 120.

In his second year, Harry is repeatedly endangered by the reopening of the Chamber of Secrets. Dobby interferes with his journey to Hogwarts and sabotages a Quidditch match in an attempt to force him away from the school 201. Harry and his friends initially suspect Draco Malfoy of being Slytherin’s heir, but Silan dismisses that possibility 201.

When Gilderoy Lockhart becomes possessed by Tom Riddle and attacks students in the Great Hall, Harry prepares to face a Killing Curse before Silan shields him with Transfiguration 247 248.

Personality

Harry is courageous and highly protective of others. His fear of Voldemort does not stop him from wanting to prevent the Philosopher’s Stone from falling into the wrong hands, even when he believes he may face expulsion or worse 118.

He can also be impulsive and reckless. Hermione worries about his repeated nighttime excursions beneath the Invisibility Cloak, while his determination to confront danger often makes him dismiss safer alternatives 94 248.

Harry is loyal to his friends and places their welfare above competition. During the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, he and Ron deliberately perform poorly so that other champions can advance 217.
