Harry

Biodata

Appearance

• Hair: Waist-length, copper-red curls, replacing the untidy black hair of her previous life 1.
• Eyes: Green and almond-shaped, with softer outer corners than before 1.
• Scar: Retains the raised, lightning-shaped scar on her forehead 1.
• Build: Petite, with slender wrists; she initially struggles with heavy luggage and demanding Quidditch training 2 9 16.
• Family resemblance: Strongly resembles Lily rather than James, a difference she suspects explains some people's changed treatment of her 1 2 21.
• Clothing: Petunia favors lace dresses, bows, and hairbands for her. Harry finds these uncomfortable and buys trousers as soon as she can 1 2.

Personality

Harry's central motivation is to save the people lost in her previous life. Even after defeating Voldemort, she remembers victory as inseparable from bereavement. Her Boggart reflects this fear: everyone she loves dies, leaving her alone as the celebrated Chosen One 1 20 28.

Her adult memories give her greater perspective without eliminating her impulsiveness. She understands Petunia's fear of magic, recognizes that Draco is still a child, and no longer idealizes James or Sirius uncritically. Nevertheless, her initial plan for the Basilisk is to evade her friends and confront it alone 1 4 6 32.

She is protective and outspoken when friends are threatened. She places herself between Hermione and Draco's insults, chooses a classroom seat to spare Hermione further harassment, and attacks a Troll with broken armor to free Ron 3 7 9.

Adjusting to a female body remains difficult. Harry initially avoids thinking about its changes, experiences an identity crisis during her first period, and finds Draco's courtship deeply unwelcome. Her humor remains sharp: she privately calls Voldemort a “boiled egg” and repeatedly mocks Draco's affected manners 2 4 16 30 37.

Abilities & Skills

Memories of Her Previous Life

• Initially conceals her rebirth, avoiding displays of knowledge or magic that would be difficult for a first-year to explain 2 9 12.

Contract with Basilisk Voldemort

Harry and the Voldemort inhabiting the Basilisk share a magical connection that prevents them from freely harming one another 11 19 21.

• When he attempts to bite her arm, he receives the wound; when she tries to stab his eye, her own arm is injured instead 11.
• The protection is not entirely painless or absolute: a later tail strike hurts Harry while also damaging his scales 19.
• A serpent-shaped contract mark appears across her abdomen 19.
• They eventually communicate mentally while he takes the form of a snake bracelet 22.
• Harry's attempt to silence him triggers a magical backlash 21.

Resistance to Dream Attacks

• Endures pain when Pansy intensifies the dream's effects, then defeats her with a Stunning Spell 48.

History

Previous Life and Rebirth

Harry's original life ends its central conflict with Voldemort's defeat, but the victory leaves her mourning Dumbledore, Snape, Sirius, Lupin, and others. After wishing she could start again, she falls asleep and awakens as an eleven-year-old red-haired girl in the Dursleys' home 1.

The household is unexpectedly affectionate. Petunia admits her jealousy of Lily and begs Harry to choose a safe, non-magical life, but allows her to decide. Harry chooses Hogwarts, recognizing it as her home, and resolves to prevent the tragedies she remembers 1.

First Year: Hogwarts and the Two Voldemorts

After shopping with Hagrid, Harry reunites with familiar faces under unfamiliar circumstances. Draco is conspicuously courteous toward her, while Snape awkwardly attempts to appear reassuring. Harry insists on Gryffindor during Sorting and settles into the girls' dormitory beside Hermione 2 3 4.

She plans to eliminate the Chamber's Basilisk before her second year, but discovers it is already moving through the pipes. After the Troll incident, the snake abducts her and reveals itself as the Voldemort who came from her former world. Their confrontation exposes the strange rebound of injuries between them; Snape subsequently saves her from Quirrell outside the washroom 6 9 10 11.

Harry later confronts Quirrell, the native Voldemort, and Basilisk Voldemort together. Once the Basilisk leaves, she obtains the Philosopher's Stone through the Mirror of Erised and kills Quirrell with her touch. A further confrontation with the Basilisk produces the serpent-shaped mark, and Harry finally tells Dumbledore about her rebirth and the war 18 19 20.

Second Year: The Diary and Dumbledore's Death

Returning from a comparatively happy summer, Harry believes that resolving the Basilisk problem has spared Ginny her former danger. When Ginny gives her Tom Riddle's diary, Harry immediately takes it to Dumbledore and identifies it as a Horcrux 21 22 23.

Dumbledore dies after investigating the diary. Harry collapses upon seeing his body and is devastated that another attempt to change events has failed to save him. Grindelwald subsequently kills himself at Dumbledore's funeral, leaving Harry bewildered by their relationship 24 25.

The native Voldemort's diary is burned with Dumbledore's body, and the rest of Harry's second school year passes unusually peacefully 26.

Third Year: Sirius, Courtship, and Voldemort's Return

Dementors attack Harry aboard the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of her third year. She later meets Sirius, accepts his account of Pettigrew's betrayal, and obtains the Hogsmeade permission signature she had deliberately saved for him 26 32.

Meanwhile, Draco begins openly courting her. Harry knocks him unconscious after a humiliating public display, while Snape and Sirius attempt to keep him away. Ron and Hermione also harbor feelings that Harry does not recognize as romantic 30 32 34.

Harry had intended to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes before he could act, but Dumbledore's death and the Elder Wand's disappearance undermine her survival plan. Distressed by her situation, she resolves instead to exchange her life for Voldemort's. She exposes Scabbers as Pettigrew with Ron and Hermione, but lets him escape, expecting Voldemort to come to her 37.

The native Voldemort regains his body during the Christmas holiday using Harry's blood, obtained from a collector who possessed a vial from an earlier injury 38.

London Trip and Pansy's Dream

During Muggle Life Experience Week, Harry helps Ginny choose clothes and accompanies the Hogwarts group in London. After Dudley rescues Draco from a gunman, Harry warns Draco that possessing a wand does not make him faster than a bullet 40 44.

Pansy later traps Harry in a dream, blaming her for Draco's lack of interest. Harry identifies the illusion and stuns Pansy, waking safely in her dormitory. By the next morning, however, she cannot remember the dream clearly; news that Pansy has disappeared leaves her uneasy 47 48 49.

Relationships

• James and Lily Potter — Her deceased parents. Her resemblance to Lily shapes how others respond to her, while her mature memories make her less uncritical of James's treatment of Snape 1 2 32.
• Petunia Dursley — Her aunt, now openly affectionate and protective. Harry comes to understand her grief over Lily without erasing the memory of her former mistreatment 1 21.
• Vernon Dursley — Her uncle. Still hostile to magic, but concerned for Harry's safety and protective when confronting Draco 1 2 44.
• Dudley Dursley — Her cousin, who treats her as a little sister and trains in martial arts to protect her. Harry discourages his old bullying habits but remains uncomfortable with physical affection from him 1 21 44.
• Hermione Granger — Close friend and dormitory neighbor. Helps research Basilisks and manage Harry's first period; privately imagines marrying her 6 16 34.

• Draco Malfoy — Former rival turned persistent suitor. Harry rejects his prejudice and finds his pursuit embarrassing, though her attitude toward him becomes less antagonistic than in her previous life 3 22 30 44.
• Severus Snape — Teacher and protector. Harry remembers his former loyalty, defends him to her friends, and receives both practical help and discreet gifts from him 4 11 13 16.
• Albus Dumbledore — Trusted mentor and the person to whom she reveals her rebirth. His death after receiving the diary devastates her and overturns her plans 20 23 24 37.
• Sirius Black — Godfather and later Hogwarts professor. Harry readily believes his account of Pettigrew's betrayal; he becomes protective of her against Draco's advances 32.
• Rubeus Hagrid — Beloved friend from her previous life. Escorts her into the magical world and promises Petunia that he will protect her 2.
• Ginny Weasley — Friend who gives her the diary and a plush Niffler. Harry remembers Ginny tenderly from her former life and is determined to spare her the Chamber's danger 22 23 34.
• Basilisk Voldemort — Enemy from her original world, now bound to her through unusual magic. Their forced proximity includes mutual threats, mental arguments, and his unexpected questions about love 11 19 22 26.
• Native Voldemort — Enemy whose soul fragment resides within Harry. Seeks the Philosopher's Stone through Quirrell and later uses her blood to restore his body 11 18 38.
• Pansy Parkinson — Hostile schoolmate who regards Harry as a romantic rival and attacks her through a magically controlled dream 48.
