Background / History

Harry spent his childhood with a Muggle family and arrived at Hogwarts reserved, wearing worn glasses, and unfamiliar with much of the wizarding world. Professor Greengrass inferred that Harry’s Muggle upbringing had been unhappy, while Harry later endured open cruelty from the Dursleys and Aunt Marge. 3 182

Sorted into Gryffindor, Harry quickly became entangled in threats surrounding Hogwarts. His friendship with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger began amid the Halloween Troll incident, and he later entered the protections surrounding the Mirror of Erised and encountered Quirrell rather than Snape. 3 7 43 44

In his second year, Harry’s ability to speak Parseltongue made him a focus of suspicion after the Chamber of Secrets attacks. He encountered the Basilisk and sought Professor Greengrass’s help rather than facing it alone. 80 90

After leaving Privet Drive following Aunt Marge’s attack, Harry learned from Greengrass that Sirius Black had escaped Azkaban and had been his father’s friend. Harry later used himself as bait in a plan to capture Sirius. 183 184 190

During the Triwizard Tournament, Harry faced a Hungarian Horntail, retrieved its Golden Egg, and was later abducted by Barty Crouch Jr. for Voldemort’s resurrection ritual. He returned to Hogwarts missing his right index finger from a Dark magic wound. 356 370 379

Appearance

Harry is a bespectacled boy with black hair and green eyes. His worn glasses and reserved manner initially reflected his difficult upbringing. 2 3

• Black hair, often falling over his forehead. 182
• Green eyes behind glasses. 77
• Missing right index finger after the graveyard incident. 379

Personality

Harry is brave to the point of recklessness. He explores the Restricted Section alone under his Invisibility Cloak, enters dangerous magical defenses, and repeatedly acts despite fear—most notably when facing the Hungarian Horntail. 21 43 356

He is fiercely loyal to Ron and Hermione and accepts personal danger when he believes others are threatened. After witnessing Dark wizards abuse Muggles, he defended Greengrass’s use of Magic Siphon against them. 190 291

Harry also struggles with anger, isolation, and the pressure of public disbelief. When students began treating his account of Voldemort’s return as a lie, he briefly lashed out at Ron and Hermione before apologizing. 411
