Harry Potter

Harry Potter is the main protagonist in the Harry Potter book and film series. Harry is famous in the wizarding world for being the only person in recorded history to survive the terrifying Avada Kedavra curse, in addition to inadvertantly defeating the powerful dark wizard Lord Voldemort when he was only a year old.

Appearence
Harry Potter is said to be a spitting image of his father, having jet black untidy hair, along with brilliant green eyes that are very similar to his mother's. Harry's physique is said to be small and lanky, though he has grown a fair bit over the years. He has a thin face, knobbly knees, and he wears round rimmed glasses. Upon his forehead, covered by his long black hair is a scar that is shaped like a lightning bolt. This scar is his most distinguishable feature, given to him by Lord Voldemort when Lord Voldemort attempted to kill him with the Avada Kedavra curse. His wand is made of holly, is eleven inches long and has a core made of a single Phoenix tail feather (from Fawkes) it is also supple.

Early Life
Harry James Potter was born on July 31, 1980 to James and Lily Potter. He lived in hiding with his parents at Godrics Hollow, when the Potters the Lord Voldemort was after them. They were placed under the Fidelius Charm, and made their secret keeper an old school friend Sirius Black. They changed their minds at the last minute though, and made their secret keeper Peter Pettigrew, another old school friend, expecting Lord Voldemort would not think of him to be their secret keeper. This is because Sirius Black did not trust himself to be the secet keeper. Peter Pettigrew was working for Lord Voldemort though, and betrayed The Potter's by telling his master where they were. Voldemort showed up at Godrics Hollow and killed James and Lily Potter. When he tried to killed Harry Potter though, his curse backfired and he lost all of his power. Harry Potter had survived the un-blockable killing curse, with only a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. Harry became an orphan, and Albus Dumbledore arranged for Rubeus Hagrid to bring Harry to his Aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley. He would live there until he turned eleven, and was able to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Living with the Dursleys
The Dursleys did not take kindly to Harry. When they took harry in they said they will suck all the magic out of him. They were Muggles, non magical people, and despised anything that had to do with magic. Because of this, the Dursleys did not treat Harry well. They made him sleep in the cupboard under the stairs, and never celebrated his birthdays. Everything he owned was a hand-me-down from his cousin Dudley, who Harry's Aunt and Uncle spoiled. One of the worst things they did was not tell Harry where he came from. Instead of telling him the truth, which Albus Dumbledore had left in a letter for them, they told Harry his parents died in a Car Crash, and that was where his lightening Bolt scar came from.His Aunt hated harry's dad .They despiced harry's father's side.

When Harry turned eleven, he started receiving letter that Vernon Dursley would not let him read. The letters kept on coming in the hundreds, and the Dursleys and Harry moved to a shack on a rock out in a lake to escape them. They were followed by the Half-Giant Rubeus Hagrid who was taking Harry to Hogwarts. He explained that Harry was a wizard, and how his parents really died. The Dursleys tried to stop Harry from leaving, but they couldn't do anything, and Harry left for Hogwarts.
