Background / History

Harry grew up separated from his twin brother, Darren. While Darren endured life in an orphanage, Harry was raised by the Dursleys; both brothers later learned of the other’s difficult childhood and regretted being unable to protect one another 126.

He entered the wizarding world as a Hogwarts student and met Darren at King’s Cross before either revealed their identity. Harry was sorted into Gryffindor, while Darren entered Slytherin, immediately placing the brothers in different houses despite their close bond 37 45. Darren is twenty minutes younger than Harry, a fact Harry invokes when insisting that family heirlooms should not be given to Darren alone 91.

Appearance

Harry has green eyes, untidy hair that refuses to lie flat, and a scar on his forehead. His appearance is repeatedly contrasted with Darren’s more polished, striking presentation 37 504.

• Bright green eyes 37
• Messy, difficult-to-control hair 37
• Distinctive forehead scar, which exposes his identity to those who recognize him 493
• Frequently carries or wears Quidditch gear, including his Firebolt 396

Personality

Harry is brave and intensely loyal, especially where Darren and his friends are concerned. He repeatedly chooses action over safety: he joins the attempt to stop the theft of the Philosopher’s Stone, rushes to protect persecuted Muggle-borns at the Ministry, and refuses to abandon companions during escapes 115 790 791.

His loyalty can become recklessness. Harry acts impulsively when frightened for Sirius or angered by injustice, and the Horcrux’s influence worsens his temper and judgment while he is on the run 679 790. He nevertheless reflects on his mistakes, apologizes to Hermione after mistreating her, and recognizes that the Mirror of Erised’s visions should not control him 151 396.

Harry is protective of Darren but often feels overshadowed by him. Darren’s greater fame, magical talent, and public admiration make Harry insecure, yet he never stops treating him as family or trying to support him 499 504.
