Harry James Potter

This article is about Harry Potter, from the fanfic series Legacies.

Harry James Potter (b. 31 July 1980) is a major character and one of the main male characters throughout the Legacies Series. He is a half-blood Wizard, and one of the most famous wizards of modern times. He is the seventh child and third son of James and Lily Potter (née Evans), both members of the original Order of the Phoenix. Harry's birth was overshadowed by a Prophecy, naming either himself or Neville Longbottom as the one with the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort. After half of the prophecy was reported to Voldemort, courtesy of Severus Snape, Harry was chosen as the target due to his many similarities with the Dark Lord. In turn, this caused the Potter family to go into hiding. Voldemort made his first vain attempt to circumvent the prophecy when Harry was a year and three months old. During this attempt, he murdered Harry's parents as they tried to protect him, but this unsuccessful attempt to kill Harry led to Voldemort's first downfall. Voldemort marked not only Harry as his equal that night, but Harry's other siblings too. Creating a new Prophecy. This downfall marked the end of the First Wizarding War, and to Harry and his siblings henceforth being known as the "Children Who Lived" as they were the only known survivors of the Killing Curse.

One consequence of Lily's loving sacrifice was that her orphaned children had to be raised a blood relative of hers. They could not be together, as the protections would cancel eachother out thus rendering the protection charm useless. Harry was left with his Muggle aunt, Petunia Dursley. While in her care he would be protected from Lord Voldemort, due to the Bond of Blood Charm Albus Dumbledore placed upon him and his siblings. This powerful charm would protect Harry until he became of age, or no longer called his aunt's house home. Due to Petunia's resentment of her sister and her magic gifts, Harry grew up abused and neglected and completely unaware of his family and the Wizarding World.

On his eleventh birthday, Harry learned that he was a wizard, from Rubeus Hagrid. He began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1991. There he met his siblings, James, Felix, Lilith, Jameson, Florence, Euphemia, Jack, Peter, Benjamin, Erin, Emerson, Christopher and Sullivan for the first time since the death of their parents.

The Sorting Hat hat told Harry that he would do well in Slytherin House, but Harry pleaded 'not Slytherin' and the Hat heeded this plea, instead sorting the young wizard into Gryffindor House. At school, Harry became best friends with Ron Weasleyand Hermione Granger and friends with Ezra Weasley, Nikolas Weasley, Elowyn Black, Persephone Granger, Cleone Granger, Elonie Granger, Victoria Weasley and Veronica Weasley. He later became the youngest Quidditch Seeker in over a century.
