Personality Description:

One of Harry's greatest strengths is his ability to love others despite continuous grief and hardship within his life. His substantial leadership skills and ability to teach his classmates (Dumbledore's Army) Defence Against the Dark Arts enables them to defend themselves against Death Eaters during the Battle of the Ministry. His ability to inspire loyalty ensures that he is surrounded by friends whose skills complement his own and who would willingly risk their own lives to defend him. This is in contrast to Voldemort's Death Eaters, who serve him out of fear.



Harry is a very quiet, shy boy who dislikes being the center of attention, holds a lot inside, and often is silently listening to others talk when he's in a group. At various times through the series, Harry has shown the ability to remain level-headed, retain his composure, and perform advanced feats of wizardry during moments of extreme crisis. He is clever-minded, sensitive, and quick-witted; has very strong intuition; can make great 'mental' leaps while under enormous stress; generally has a sense of humour and a positive outlook on life despite the burdens placed on him. He has been shown to be fiercely determined and self-reliant, almost to a fault, although beginning with the fourth book this has been viewed by some characters as a tendency to "play the hero."

History:

Parents: James && Lily Potter.
Siblings: None.
General History:

Harry is the only child of James and Lily Potter, is often told that he resembles his father, with similar perpetually untidy jet-black hair. He later discovers, however, that he is more like his mother in personality and character.

Harry is categorized as a "half-blood" wizard in the series. Although both his parents were magical, his mother, Lily Evans, was "Muggle-born" and, according to Rowling, to the characters whom blood purity matters, she is therefore considered the equivalent of a Muggle (non-magical person) — and derogatively referred to as a "Mudblood."Little is known about Harry's other relations.

Harry's father, James Potter, was born into a "pure-blood" wizarding family as the only child of somewhat elderly parents. It is likely Harry is distantly related to other pure-blood families through his father, since according to Harry's godfather, Sirius Black, all the old pure-blood families are related through intermarriage. Harry inherited his parents' wealth, which is stored at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in Diagon Alley, London. He later inherits Sirius' property, Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place, after Sirius dies.

Harry may also be related to his godfather. According to the Black family tree,Charlus Potter married Dorea Black, granddaughter of Phineas Nigellus Black, with the result that James and Sirius may have been first cousins, once removed. This seems to contradict Rowling's statements that James's parents were "old in wizarding terms" when they died, because she has also said that wizards have "a much longer life expectancy than Muggles" — Dorea died at only 57. However, Charlus and Dorea were born into the same generation as Sirius's grandparents, so it is possible they might be James' parents. Regardless, since no living Potter relatives or any unrelated wizards named Potter have yet appeared in the series, it is possible that Charlus Potter, and thus Sirius, were somehow related to Harry.

Harry's first year at hogwarts eleven-year-old Harry Potter learns that he is a wizard when Rubeus Hagrid, the half-giant Keeper of the Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and aide to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, hand-delivers his invitation to attend the school. Hagrid tells Harry about his magical background and his fame in the wizarding community. He also learns that his parents, James and Lily, have left him a small fortune. Harry's first introduction to the wizarding world is in his trip to the Diagon Alley, a hidden wizarding shopping street in London. There he buys a magic wand at Ollivanders. On the Hogwarts Express, the train that takes students from London's King's Cross station to the school, he meets Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who later become his closest friends in school. At Hogwarts, Harry is sorted into Gryffindor, one of four school Houses. Also sorted in Gryffindor are Ron and Hermione. He also joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team, becoming the youngest Seeker in over a century. Harry also gains enemies succh as Draco Malfoy. Lord Voldemort (long presumed dead) has secretly returned. Using the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Professor Quirrell as a host body, he searches Hogwarts for the Philosopher's Stone, that he believes will restore his body and make him immortal. Voldemort is thwarted by Harry, with help from Ron and Hermione.

In Harry's second year Harry faces more challenges. Harry is revealed to be a parselmouth (the ability to speak with snakes) and there is a growing suspicion that he may be the Heir of Slytherin. The Heir is believed responsible for a series of attacks on Muggle-borns throughout the school. Harry’s toughest challenge, however, is posed by Tom Riddle, the "memory" of a younger Voldemort hidden within his old diary, which has mysteriously fallen into Ginny Weasley's possession.[6] Controlling Ginny through the diary, Riddle uses her to release a deadly basilisk from the Chamber of Secrets. Harry proves his mettle in the book's climax by rescuing Ginny from the Chamber and killing the Basilisk with Godric Gryffindor's sword. Harry also tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing his house elf, Dobby, who has helped Harry.

In his third year at Hogwarts Harry becomes the supposed target of Sirius Black, a murderous wizard who has escaped from Azkaban, Britain's wizarding prison. Hunting Black are terrifying, hooded creatures called Dementors, the guards of Azkaban. Lacking his guardians' written permission, Harry is unable to join student outings to Hogsmeade, the nearby wizarding village. Fred and George Weasley give him their Marauder's Map, a magical document showing secret passageways in and out of Hogwarts, as well as every person's location within the castle. Harry uses a tunnel to slip into Hogsmeade wearing his Invisibility Cloak. At Christmas, Harry receives a brand new professional-standard Firebolt racing broom from an anonymous benefactor after his Nimbus 2000 is destroyed during a Quidditch match. Harry learns Black is believed to have divulged his parents secret whereabouts to Lord Voldemort and murdered their friend, Peter Pettigrew and twelve Muggle bystanders. Harry vows to find and kill Black only to discover that he never actually betrayed his parents — it was Peter Pettigrew, who faked his own death and framed Black for the crimes. Harry is delighted to find a new guardian in Sirius, his godfather.

In his fourth year at Hogwarts Hogwarts hosts an inter-school competition called the Triwizard Tournament. Two other wizarding schools, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang Institute, are the other participants. After one champion from each school is selected, Harry is mysteriously chosen as a fourth competitor, even though he is underage and never entered his name into the Goblet of Fire. The school champions face three dangerous challenges on their way to the Triwizard Cup. During the final challenge, Cedric and Harry help each other and agree to grab the Cup simultaneously, unaware it is actually a Portkey. They are transported to a graveyard where Lord Voldemort awaits. On Voldemort's order, his servant Peter Pettigrew kills Cedric with the Avada Kedavra curse. Harry is bound to a tombstone and forced to witness a ritual (which uses his blood) that restores Lord Voldemort to his former body. When Voldemort engages Harry, he is saved by the Priori Incantatem, since their wands are brothers. Back at Hogwarts, a traumatized Harry discovers that Voldemort's servant, Barty Crouch Jr, has been impersonating Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, "Mad-Eye" Moody using polyjuice potion. Few believe Harry's claim that Voldemort has returned.

In his fifth year while at Hogwarts the year begins with Harry being attacked by Dementors and using a Patronus Charm to defend himself and his Muggle cousin, Dudley, although underage wizards are forbidden to use magic outside school. For safety, Harry is taken to Number 12, Grimmauld Place, a dilapidated house in London owned by his godfather Sirius Black that now serves as headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. Thanks to testimony from Dumbledore and Arabella Figg, Harry is cleared of illegally using magic. In retaliation against Dumbledore, Fudge appoints Dolores Umbridge as the new Hogwarts Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher so she can spy on the school. She is also appointed High Inquisitor, empowered to arbitrarily change and impose school rules. Urged by Hermione, Harry secretly trains students in real Defence Against the Dark Arts. Voldemort implants a false vision in Harry's mind that Sirius is being tortured at the Ministry office in London. Harry and DA members Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood rush to Sirius' rescue. Lured into the Department of Mysteries, the students are ambushed by Voldemort's Death Eaters. Order of the Phoenix reinforcements arrive in time. Sirius is killed by his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. Voldemort suddenly appears and attempts to fatally curse Harry, but Dumbledore arrives, and the two fiercely duel. Voldemort grabs Bellatrix and disapparates, but not before being seen by the Minister and Ministry employees.

Sample Role-Play:

Harry walked into the Library. He made his way to the Restricted section. He was now old enough, and was allowed into the Restricted Section of the Library with out a note. He was looking up something about Horcurx's. He and his two best friends were helpind Dumbleodre with something. He figured there would be very limited information on the subject, because of what had happend when the Dark Lord had found out about them. He didn't blame Dumbeldore for taking the books out either. It was probably safer that way.

He started scanning the shelves for any books abou Horcux's. He eventually after looking for a bit came across a few books, but He wasn't sure if they contianed the information that he wanted. He took the three books that He found on them down. He walked over to a table that was in the Restricted section, and started to page though the first book. He wasn't even sure what a Horcux even was, but He was hoping to find out in one of these books. If He didn't then He would just go back to the Librarian, or even Dumbdledore and ask where the other ones are.
