History: Harry James Potter was born on July 31, 1980, to Lily and James Potter
James Potter's best friend, Sirius Black, was named Harry's godfather. Sirius, James, and Lily were all part of the Order of the Phoenix, a group of witches and wizards who were desperately fighting against Voldemort. They were outnumbered and many of them were killed, but they fought on. James and Lily had narrowly escaped Voldemort three times during this time.
Before Harry was born, a prophecy had been made about a boy to be born at the end of July which indicated that this person would be able to defeat the Dark Lord. Lord Voldemort heard part of this prophecy through an agent and resolved to destroy the child. Both Harry and another child, Neville Longbottom, would have fit the prophecy, but Voldemort decided that Harry must be the one and went after him. James and Lily knew that Voldemort was trying to kill Harry, and by October of 1981, they had used the Fidelius Charm to hide themselves from the Dark Lord. Unfortunately, the person they chose as Secret Keeper for the Charm, Peter Pettigrew, turned out to be a double agent who revealed their location to Voldemort.
On the evening of October 31, 1981, the Dark Lord came to Godric's Hollow, the town where James and Lily were living as Muggles, and attacked. James tried to hold Voldemort off at the door but failed; he was apparently killed there. Lily tried to run with Harry but Voldemort caught her. Curiously, he offered to spare her life, but she stood in his way and he killed her to get to Harry. This sacrifice turned out to be vitally important, for it was the ancient magic of this act that protected the child. When Voldemort's Killing Curse hit Harry, the protection of Lily's sacrifice made the curse rebound onto Voldemort, who was all but killed. The curse left a curse scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on Harry's forehead.
The battle between the Potters and Voldemort left the house in ruins. Dumbledore dispatched Hagrid to go to Godric's Hollow and retrieve Harry. Hagrid managed to rescue Harry before the Muggles had a chance to investigate and interfere. While he was there, Hagrid encountered Sirius Black, who asked that Harry be given to him, since he was the boy's godfather. Hagrid refused, since he was following Dumbledore's orders to retrieve the boy. Sirius lent Hagrid his flying motorcycle to fly Harry to safety.
It is unclear where Hagrid and Harry were for the next twenty-four hours. Dumbledore apparently spent the time arranging for Harry's safe keeping in Privet Drive, but even McGonagall didn't know what was going on. The next evening, she met Dumbledore in Privet Drive and shortly thereafter Hagrid arrived on the flying motorcycle with Harry. The three of them left Harry in a bundle of blankets on the doorstep of number four, the home of Harry's last surviving blood relatives, the Dursleys.
For the next ten years, Harry lived a life of emotional abuse and physical deprivation. His Aunt Petunia, Lily's sister, and his Uncle Vernon were determined to squash any magic out of him. They never told him about his true identity. They told him that his parents had died in a car crash, which was also how he got the scar on his head. They doted on their son Dudley, who was a spoiled bully, while making Harry sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. The number one rule in the Dursley household was "Don't ask questions." Their goal was to keep him oppressed and downtrodden in the hopes that he wouldn't develop what they considered to be abnormal tendencies toward magic. They sent him to the same school as Dudley, who picked on Harry mercilessly. The other kids at school tended to avoid Harry because they didn't want to be nice to someone Dudley picked on or they'd attract his bullying on themselves. Harry was made to wear Dudley's old clothes, which were much too large for Harry.
Despite the efforts of the Dursleys, Harry did exhibit some magic tendencies during his years at the Dursleys. At one point, when Aunt Petunia had become so frustrated with Harry's untidy hair that he cut it all off, Harry turned up at the breakfast table the next morning with hair all grown back. Another time, Harry was being chased by Dudley and his gang when Harry found himself unexptectedly up on the school roof. Harry had turned a teacher's wig blue and also shrunk a particularly ugly jumper of Dudley's so that he wouldn't have to wear it.
Periodically during these years, Uncle Vernon's sister Marge would visit the Dursleys. She took great delight in tormenting Harry. She would give expensive presents to Dudley and either something horrible or nothing at all to Harry. She brought her pet bulldog, Ripper, to visit and when Harry was nine, she actually allowed the dog to chase Harry up a tree, where he had to remain until she called the dog off after midnight.
By the time he was ten years old, Harry had grown into a skinny, knobbly-kneed boy with untidy black hair and a narrow face. He wore glasses which were broken and taped from repeated blows aimed at him by Dudley. He was surprisingly quick, a skill developed over years of getting out of the way of his bullying cousin. He still lived in the cupboard under the stairs. His eyes, which were the same as his mother's, were brilliant green.
His life changed abruptly during the summer of 1991. Strange letters began arriving which frightened his aunt and uncle into fleeing the house and running to hide in a hut on a rock out at sea. In the midst of a huge storm, with waves crashing on the rock, just after midnight, Hagrid arrived on the rock where he discovered that Harry had no idea that he was a wizard. Hagrid did his best to explain to the boy all about his past, and when morning came on July 31, 1991, Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley to shop for the things he would need for school. A few weeks later, on September 1, Harry boarded the Hogwarts Express and was taken to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
From there his whole life changed, and well everyone at the school knows the rest.
Strengths: Quidditch.
Weaknesses: Voldemort.
Wand: ?
Appearance: Most famously, a scar shaped like a bolt of lightning on his forehead, caused by Voldemort's attempt to kill him with the Avada Kedavra curse. Harry looks just like his father, James, except for his green eyes which he gets from his mother, Lily. Harry has round glasses (no longer held together with Sellotape), and can speak Parseltongue (snake language), which is a very rare ability. He's a skinny boy with broad shoulders and dark brown hair which is usually messy. He has a small hook nose and thin pink lips. Harry stands an average 5'9".
Post Example Taken from my character adam fourghsite @ saphira university...
The world spun, swirling colors, objects flying around so fast, but silence dead silence, the crowd of people couldn't make a sound because of the speed they were moving at. Port keys, what a brilliant wizard invention, those muggles should really think about something as brilliant as this. At last the movement stopped and a crowd of people landed with a thump on the ground some standing, some fell and landed on their backside. However for once luck was on Adams side, and he stood upright, catching their balance some people made their way through the crowd of people and found their families, friends and house tents.
England beautiful England they'd finally arrived, and it wasn't raining, it was beautiful, the sun was out, the weather was still cool, and no snow was on the ground it was more like early spring weather. Adam smiled and looked down at Melissa, he felt better and more awake now.
Quidditch fever was in the air, everyone seemed to be buzzing around cheerfully; it was exciting Adam looked around to see if he could spot anyone from school. He figured Melissa was looking out for her family, since she knew what they all looked like, while Adam had never met them had no clue what any member looked like.
The young Gryffindor let out a sigh, he'd never been to England, it was amazing that he could share such an experience with Melissa, and that she had let him in on it. He wouldn't have even been here if it wasn't for her.
Small kiosks stood scattered about on the long stretch of land, holding merchandise for each team, Canada and Ireland. Personally Adam was routing for Canada, his home country he heard they were pretty good this year too. Yes this was going to be good, he could tell already, the only part he was still worried about was meeting melys parents, infact Adam had totally forgotten about this Danny kid who was tagging along.
The tall stands of the quidditch field were seen in the distance, Adam started to walk, and he reached for Melissa’s hand.
"Okay do you know where we're supposed to go?" Adam looked at the various witches and wizards as they were walking, snorting a few times at the outfits, how did these people think they could pass as muggles wearing hideous things like those?
