Name: Harry James Potter
Birthdate: July 31, 1980
Lineage: Half-blood
Family: Only child of James Potter and Lily Evans. Both were killed by Voldemort after their location had been betrayed to by their friend, Peter Pettigrew. After their death, Dumbledore left him to stay with Lily's sister, Petunia Dursley, and her family. They took him in - very reluctantly - and forced him to live in a spider-ridden cupboard underneath the stairs, do all of the chores, and to wear thier son Dudley's huge hand-me-down clothes. All the time, they lied to him about his magical past and made sure to remind him how little they thought of him. He also has a godfather named Sirius Black, who descends from a family of dark wizards and was mistakenly blamed for Peter's murder. The two didn't meet until Harry's third year, when he suspected Sirius of trying to kill him.
Pet: Snowy owl named Hedwig
House: Gryffindor (1991-1998)
Wand: Holly and phoenix feather, eleven inches.
Broom: Nimbus 2000, Firebolt

Relationships: Briefly dated his longtime crush Cho Chang. Went to the Yule Ball with Parvarti Patil. Marries Ginny Weasely in the epilogue.
Physical Description: Harry has unruly black hair and vivid green eyes, like his mother's, that are framed by a pair of round glasses. He's rather short and thin for his age and when he was living with the Dursleys, he was forced to wear Dudley's hand-me-downs that were far too large for him. After Voldemort attempted to hit him with the Avada Kedavra curse, he recieved a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.
Student Activities: Teacher of Dumbledore's Army, reluctant member of S.P.E.W.
Quidditch: Seeker for the Gryffindor team. Only ever lost one match because he fainted after a pack of dementor's surrounded him during a game. Youngest Quidditch player at Hogwarts in over a hundred years.
