Bio:

Name: Harry James Potter
Age/Birthday: 23 years old - July 31st, 1980
Bloodline: Half-blood
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Affiliation:Harry is strictly associated with the Order of the Phoenix. He doesn’t agree with anything in relation to Voldemort and the Death Eaters (particularly since they tried numerous times to kill him) and he finds that the Ministry of Magic doesn’t always have it’s head in the right place. Don’t get him wrong, he thinks Kingsley Shacklebolt is a wonderful Minister, he just thinks that the Ministry still has some changed to go through.
Nationality/Birthplace: English - London, England.
Current Location: London, England

Family Members: James Potter (deceased), Lily Potter (deceased), Vernon Dursley, Petunia Dursley, Dudley Dursley, Ginny Weasley, The entire Weasley Clan. Future members include James(2004-2005), Albus (2006) and Lily Potter(2008).
Family History: Harry’s parents are James and Lily Potter. He’d like to say his relationship with his parents is really good, but he never had the chance to have one. On Halloween, just after his first birthday, Voldemort discovered the location of their home and killed both James and Lily. While Harry survived his attack it was only to be placed into another dangerous situation. Harry’s only living relatives are Vernon, Petunia, and Dudley Dursley. As McGonagall rightly put it, they are the worst sort of Muggle’s. The Dursley’s are very concerned with how their neighbours portray them and do not like anything outside of what they consider ‘normal’. Unfortunately for Harry, he wasn’t normal.

Harry’s life at the Dursley’s was anything but pleasant. Until he was eleven years old, he was required to sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, despite Dudley having an extra bedroom. He was often excluded from family trips and was Dudley’s favourite punching bag. While Vernon and Petunia made life difficult, it was Dudley that had the most impact on him. Due to his cousin’s large size it was easy for him to intimidate people into doing the things he wanted. That included ignoring Harry. He didn’t make a real friend until he reached Hogwarts. No one there knew Dudley

Former House/Years: Gryffindor 1991 - 1999. (Returned for NEWT year in 1999)
Hogwarts History:
Year One - During Harry's first year he made close friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger and developed a, soon to be, infamous rivalry with Draco Malfoy. He was an average student. He learned to ride a broom and discovered that he was a natural at it. He was made a member of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, the youngest house player in a century. During this year, it became evident that Voldemort was trying to infiltrate the school to try to get a Philosopher's Stone which was hidden in the third floor. Harry eventually uncovered the plot and chased Quirrell, who was being controlled by Voldemort, down into a series of chambers under the school. Here, with Ron and Hermione, Harry overcame numerous challenges and eventually faced Quirrell and Voldemort. Harry successfully protected the Stone from Voldemort, although he was seriously injured in the process, and spent three days unconscious in the hospital wing afterwards.

Year Two - During Harry's second year at school, he, Ron and Hermione were still strong friends and Draco Malfoy was still his biggest rival at school. The summer between first and second year had not been a good experience for Harry. On top of living with his relatives, Harry met Dobby, a houself who was determined to prevent him from returning to Hogwarts. After an incident with a pudding and some important guests of Vernons, Vernon put bars outside of Harry's window, preventing him from escaping. If it hadn't been for Ron, the Twins and their fathers flying Ford Anglia he might not have made it back for his second year. After thwarting Dobby's attempts at keeping him out of school and the Whomping Willows attempts at smashing him and Ron to pieces Harry started an eventful school year. It was during his second year that the Chamber of Secrets was opened by Ginny Weasley, who was being controlled by a memory of Tom Riddle (Voldemort). In order to defeat him and save Ginny, Harry and Ron traveled into the Chamber of Secrets with Gilderoy Lockheart. When a part of the tunnel collapsed separating him from Ron and Lockheart, Harry continued on alone. With the help of Fawkes, the Sorting Hat and the sword of Gryffindor Harry killed the Basilik and destroyed Tom Riddle's Journal.

Year Three - In Harry's third year Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban. Unbeknown to him, Sirius Black was a friend of his father's and was, in fact, Harry's Godfather. During this year, he also met Remus Lupin, another friend of James. During this year, Harry learned a lot about his father and his friends, The Mauraders. He discovered that it had not been Sirius, but Peter Petegrew that betrayed his parents. When he found out the truth Harry was incredibly happy that he would not have to go back to the Dursley's, for Sirius had offered to let Harry come and live with him. Unfortunately, Remus had forgotten to take his Wolfsbane potion and transformed under the Full Moon. In the chaos that ensued Peter escaped and the Dementors attempted to suck the soul from Harry and Sirius' bodies. When they were found at the lake Sirius was taken into Custody and locked in one of the towers of Hogwarts. Without Peter Harry could not prove that Sirius was innocent. Using Hermione's timeturner, the two of them went back in time to save not only Hagrid's hippogryff Buckbeak but Sirius as well.

Year Four - This was a rather eventful year for Harry. This was the year that the Triwizard tournament was held at Hogwarts. Students from Beaubatons and Durmstrang travelled to the castle to take part. The rules stated that only students 17 or older could put their name in the cup. Unfortunately, Barty Crouch. Jr. (who was disguised as Mad-Eye Moody) put Harry's name in the cup, registered under a fourth school, meaning that he was chosen as one of the Champions along side Cedric Diggory as Hogwarts Champion, Fleur Delacour as Beaubaton's Champion, and Viktor Krum as Durmstrang's Champion. Harry and Ron had a massive blow out over the events that took place. Ron thinking that Harry and kept him in the dark. During the tournament Harry had to get passed a Hungarian Horntail, rescue Ron from the Merpeople and make his way through a maze to find the Triwizard cup. Both himself and Cedric reached the cup together and agreed to share the prize. When they touched it they were port keyed to the Graveyard where Voldemort's father was buried. Cedric was murdered in front of Harry and Voldemort used Harry's blood to regain his body. During their fight, their brother wands connected and Voldemort's wand regurgitated images of the people he had murdered, including Harry's parents. With their help Harry was able to escape and take Cedric's body back to the school.

Year Five - During the summer before this year Harry and Dudley were attack by Dementors in Little Whinging. Upon using magic outside of school and in the presence of a Muggle Harry was almost suspended from Hogwarts but Dumbledore managed to get him a hearing instead. Luckily, he was cleared of all charged and was allowed to attend Hogwarts. The strange thing for Harry was that Dumbledore was all but ignoring his very presence. During this year Harry's connection with Voldemort through the scar on his forehead grew to be a danger to himself and others. To make matters worse Dolores Umbridge became the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and started making proclamations that restricted all activities at Hogwarts. In her classes she informed the students that Voldemort had not returned and taught them theory instead of practical magic. Having enough of this, Hermione suggested Harry teach them and that led to the creation of Dumbledore's Army. When they were discovered Dolorus tried to have Dumbledore arrested but he disappeared from Hogwarts before he could be. After this Harry began to receive images from Voldemort of Sirius being tortured in the Department of Mysteries. Not having anyone to turn to Harry , Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, and Neville went to the Ministry to save him only to find out it had been a plot by Voldemort. They held off Lucius and the Death Eaters for a while before Sirius and the Order showed up. Bellatrix Lestrange and Sirius had begun dueling in front of Harry's eyes and Bellatrix hit Sirius in the chest with a spell, knocking him into the Veil, killing him. Harry took off after Bellatrix but was stopped by Voldemort. Finally Dumbledore arrived and started to duel with Voldemort but the Dark Lord tried to possess Harry, but Harry managed to push him out.

Year Six - It was during this year that Harry began to learn about the Horcruxes Voldemort had created and that he learned of the Half-blood Prince. Professor Snape finally got his wish of teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts and Professor Slughorn took up as resident Potions Master. On top of Hermione's growing annoyance at his success thanks to the book that had belonged to the Half-blood Prince he also had to deal with their scepticism that Draco Malfoy was up to something in the Room of Requirements. For the entire year, he tried to find out what Draco was up to but failed. Closer to the end of the year, Dumbledore brought Harry along with him to locate a Horcruxes (Slytherin's Locket). They found the place where it was hidden and Harry had to force Dumbledore to drink the poison surrounding it. After Harry had touched the water in hopes of getting the Headmaster something to drink, he had his first experience of Inferi. Thankfully, Dumbledore managed to get them out of danger. When they arrived back at the school the dark mark hung overtop of the Astronomy tower. Harry hid under the invisibility cloak, frozen to the spot, while Dumbledore talked with Draco. Half way through their conversation, Snape and the other Death Eaters arrived. Snape killed Dumbledore and fled with Draco. Harry chased after him once the spell holding in place had vanished. When he faced Snape, Harry discovered that Snape was the Half-Blood Prince. After Dumbledore's funeral Harry broke up with Ginny Weasley and decided that he would not be returning to Hogwarts for his last year, instead he was going looking for the Horcruxes.

Year Seven - True to his word, Harry set out with Ron and Hermione to find the Horcruxes, much to Molly Weasley's displeasure. Harry was put through many trial over the course of the year. The attacks by Voldemort, the death of Hedwig and Dobby, hunting down the Horcruxes, Dealing with Dumbledore's Death, visiting his parents graves and facing his own destiny to kill Voldemort. With the help of a goblin and his friends, Harry managed to locate and destroy all of the Horcruxes he had known about. He also discovered something about himself. When he saw Snape die, Snape had given him his memories and from those memories, Harry discovered that Voldemort had unintentionally made Harry a Horcruxes. In order to destroy him, Harry would have to die. Facing his destiny, Harry went to Voldemort and did not raise his wand as Voldemort cast the killing curse, sacrificing himself for the rest for the Wizarding World. In doing so, he placed a protection over them, like his mother had done for him. When he was hit with the killing curse he had a chance to talk with Dumbledore before choosing to return or remain dead. Harry chose to return and finish what he had started. Voldemort thought he won but in a duel between the two of them, Harry came out victorious and the world was finally free of Voldemort.
Occupation History: After the defeat of Voldemort, Harry went after his dream job. Becoming an Auror. In order to be accepted into the training class, Harry had to go back to school to get his NEWTS. He didn't particularly mind this because he would be returning with Ginny, meaning that he would get to work on his rather strained relationship with her.

For the first time since he started Hogwarts, all Harry's focus was poured into his studies. He wanted into this program and if he had to get top marks, he would. It wasn't really a surprise to his friends and family when he was accepted into the program. It took over two years to complete, but he's finally an auror and doesn't plan on stopping until he's reached the top: Head Auror.

Personality: Harry has always been relatively easy to get along with. After the defeat of Voldemort it became all the more easier. Harry’s personality benefited with Voldemort’s death. He still likes to do some things on his own and he does still have the tendency to try and protect the ones he loves from harm, but he’s much more open with sharing things, both emotional and physical. Having a family has also played an important role on opening him up. Being married has also helped him a great deal. In order for it to work between himself, Ginny and any children they have, he knows that he needs to be there for them. By keeping to himself he’d be cutting them out and he doesn’t want that.

Not having a family growing up has affected how he relates and interacts with the one he has now. In many ways he tries to compensate for what he didn’t have by making sure that Ginny has everything that she needs. This attitude will extend to his children as they come along. For him, he would spend his last sickle making them happy. Taking that into effect, Harry has a strong tendency to spoil Ginny, Teddy and the other children that have made an appearance in the Weasley Family. More often then not this aspect of himself can get him into trouble with not only his wife but his friends as well. His spoiling tendencies have no boundaries and often extend to Bill’s daughter, Victoire, when they are visiting.

While his spoiling often gets him into trouble, he is very glad to have Ginny to counterbalance him. He knows that there are things that Teddy needs that he simply doesn’t do well. An example? He doesn’t like to reprimand Teddy but knows that some times he does need it...in fact, more often then not the boy is getting into trouble he knows he shouldn’t. Harry often uses the phrases ‘This hurts me more than it hurts you’. It’s became a running joke among his friends and family, but Harry really doesn’t mind.

While Ginny misses the noise of the Burrow because she has grown up around it, Harry misses it because he never had that before he met the Weasley’s. When the house is quiet, he’ll do pretty much anything to keep some sort of noise in the house whether it’s the television, the radio, or simply making Ginny laugh.

While a lot has changed within Harry over the years, some things will always remain the same. Whenever he and Ron are together, Ginny and Hermione often remark that they’re twelve year old boys all over again and it’s true. Whenever he’s with Ron, it’s like they’re back at Hogwarts looking for more trouble to get into. His love of Quidditch has also remained strong and he doesn’t pass by a chance to play a pick-up game at the Burrow.

Height: 5 feet 8 inches
Weight: 160 lbs
Hair/Eye color: Black Hair/Bright Green Eyes
Sense of Style: Thankfully, Harry’s sense of style has been updated since his days at Hogwarts. He no longer has to wear Dudley’s hand-me-downs, instead preferring clothing that actually fits him. He’s also grown accustomed to wearing both Muggle and Wizarding style work-clothes. While on the job, he wears business casual. At home, he prefers to lounge around in Jeans and a t-shirt. For him, he simply likes to be comfortable. He isn’t too concerned with how it looks. That’s where Ginny comes in.
Posture: Harry’s posture isn’t anything to brag about, but it definitely isn’t too poor, either. His posture is better when he’s at work, or in front of an audience. When he’s at home, it is an entirely different matter. Harry’s not above slouching down on the couch and flicking through the channels on the telly.
Best feature: Harry likes to think that his eyes are his best feature, but he’s pretty sure he likes them because he’s been told they are the same colour as his mothers. For him, it’s like having a part of her with him that can never be lost.
Other: Harry’s scar has faded, but it is still visible, no matter how hard he tries to hide it. Over the years he has gotten used to people looking, but it still makes him feel uncomfortable. He has also gotten rid of his glasses, replacing them with contacts. When he started Auror training, he thought it would be for the best. Due to his poor eye sight, the glasses were only a liability.
