Background

Harry was raised at Number Four, Privet Drive by his aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon after the deaths of his parents, Lily and James Potter. Dudley had long treated him like a brother, while the Dursleys initially provided material care largely at Dudley’s urging rather than from genuine acceptance. 2 9

At age eleven, Harry learns that he is a wizard and receives his Hogwarts admission letter. Although excited by the prospect of entering the magical world, he is also apprehensive about leaving home and confronting an unfamiliar future. 2 Dudley persuades Vernon and Petunia to allow him to attend Hogwarts; afterward, Petunia begins showing Harry sincere affection in daily life, and Vernon’s attitude softens with hers. 5 9

Harry’s entry into the Wizarding World immediately exposes him to public fame. Wizards at the Leaky Cauldron recognize his lightning-shaped scar and crowd around him as the Boy Who Lived. 14 During his Diagon Alley preparations, Hagrid gives him a snowy owl, whom Harry names Hedwig. 23

Appearance

Harry is a small, bespectacled boy with bright green eyes and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. 70

• Lightning-shaped forehead scar — later identified as the site of a fragment of Voldemort’s soul. 31 34
• Bright green eyes — noted by Sirius as closely resembling Lily Potter’s. 192
• Glasses — wears disguised glasses during his first meeting with Sirius. 192

Personality

Harry is naturally cheerful, capable of forming his own judgments, and unwilling to deny or suppress his magic despite his difficult childhood. Dudley is certain that these qualities would prevent him from becoming an Obscurial even without guidance. 6

He is deeply loyal to Dudley and consistently supports his cousin’s decisions, from confronting the Dursleys to standing beside him during the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony. 3 74 Harry also values fairness and personal agency: he publicly rejects the imposed title of “Chosen One” and explains the truth of his survival to the Hogwarts student body. 76

Harry has strong moral boundaries regarding Voldemort. He reacts with immediate aversion to the connection between his wand and Voldemort’s twin wand. 28 Although eager to pursue Quidditch, he accepts Dudley’s insistence that athletic ambitions must not replace magical study and combat preparation. 125
