History

First Transformation

A potion-related incident, for which Ron is responsible, leaves Harry in the appearance nicknamed “Harriette.” In the Hospital Wing, Harry hides beneath his blanket when Snape arrives, expecting the professor to mock him. Instead, Snape is visibly shaken by Harry’s resemblance to a girl he once knew, particularly his green eyes. He asks Madam Pomfrey and Hermione what happened, and Pomfrey gives him the empty potion vial 63.

Snape takes responsibility for Harry’s treatment. McGonagall and Snape strictly forbid Ron from telling anyone about the incident, with McGonagall personally warning him. The arrangement also gives Will an opportunity to learn new Charms 64.

Following the incident, Will uses his headmaster-granted authority to lock his private room against unauthorized entry. He wants to prevent further interference with his belongings and protect the dangerous notes and research records stored there 65.

High Tower Biscuit Incident

Harry acquires a girl-like appearance again during a later transformation mishap affecting nearly every High Tower resident. The group blames Fred and George because of their Animal Cracker experiments and reputation for pranks. Sylvia avoids the effects by not eating her cookie 107.

Harry returns to the Hospital Wing alongside Will, Ron, Hermione, and Neville. Snape treats the patients, addressing Harry with conspicuous gentleness while sharply scolding the partly wolf-like Will 107.

Appearance

• Girl-like form: The first transformation prompts the names “Harriette” and “Harri”; the later biscuit incident produces a similar appearance 63 65 107.
• Green eyes: Snape is especially affected when Harry’s eyes meet his 63.
• Familiar resemblance: To Snape, the transformed Harry strongly resembles a girl from his past. The passage does not explicitly name her 63.

Personality

Harry is embarrassed by his transformed appearance and reluctant to face Snape. His decision to retreat beneath the blanket reflects his expectation that Snape will ridicule him—a fear contradicted by the professor’s restrained, concerned response 63.

Relationships

• Ron Weasley — Responsible for the first transformation incident. He remains silent and ashamed in the Hospital Wing, then receives explicit orders to keep the matter secret 63 64.

• Madam Pomfrey — Attends Harry in the Hospital Wing and supplies Snape with the potion vial needed to investigate the incident 63.
• Hermione Granger — Present when Snape asks about the first incident; later becomes another victim of the High Tower transformation mishap 63 107.

• Will Behrens — Gains a learning opportunity from Harry’s treatment and subsequently secures his private room against meddling. He later shares Harry’s hospitalization after the biscuit incident 64 65 107.
• Fred and George Weasley — Suspected by the affected High Tower members of causing the later transformations through their experimental biscuits 107.
