Harry Potter

Harry Potter is the protagonist from the Harry Potter fandom.

Character
Harry Potter is a half-blood wizard, the only child and son of James Potter and Lily Potter, née Evans, and one of the most famous wizards of modern times. In a vain attempt to circumvent a prophecy that a boy born in late July 1980 would be able to defeat him, Voldemort attempted to murder him when he was one year and three months old, shortly after murdering Harry's parents as they tried to protect him. This early, unsuccessful attempt to defeat Harry led to Voldemort's first defeat and the end of the First Wizarding War. One consequence of Lily's protection is that her orphaned son had to be raised by her only remaining blood relative, Petunia Dursley, where he was neither welcomed nor nurtured, but would live at least until he was seventeen years old. As the only known survivor of the Killing Curse, Harry was already famous before he arrived at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Canon

 * Ginny Weasley

Harry and Ginny meet at King's Cross in September 1991, when Harry makes his first foray into the wizarding world. They don't spend much time together, mainly because Ginny has a monster crush on Harry, which he's a little embarrassed about, until Harry rescues her after he, Hermione and Ron realize she's been under Riddle's control. They then become friends, each dating other people, until Harry falls in love with her in his 6th year and they finally get together.


 * Cho Chang

Fanon

 * Hermione Granger

Harry and Hermione became friends after defeating a troll together on Halloween 1991. Throughout all of Harry's subsequent perils, Hermione is by his side, never wavering and considering Harry's battle against Voldemort as her own. They form a close friendship as they grow older and share a different perspective on being part of the wizarding world, both having grown up as Muggles.


 * Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy became the rival of Harry Potter. Draco came from a pure-blood family that believed strongly in blood purity. So he bullied and insulted those who were Muggle-born and sometimes Gryffindor. He was jealous that Harry Potter was a hero. His ambition was to become like his father. Voldemort asked Draco to assassinate Dumbledore, but he failed. A year later, when Harry was taken to Malfoy Manor to be handed over to Dark Lord. Draco was very reluctant to identify him. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry saved Draco's life twice. One against Crabbe's Fiendfyre and from a masked Death Eater. In 2017, Draco gave Harry a curt nod. In 2017, when their children become best friends and are in danger, Draco and Harry must work together to become allies and develop a better relationship.


 * Luna Lovegood

Harry and Luna meet on the Hogwarts Express in 1995. Harry finds her strange at first, but soon learns that Luna is simply a very honest person who doesn't necessarily notice or care about the reactions of those around her. They have a very intense experience that bonds them when she shows Harry why he and she are the only people who can see Thestrals.


 * Severus Snape

Harry is emotionally abused by Snape, which is never stopped, even though it takes place in a school environment. Harry later finds out that Snape hated him because James bullied Snape when they were children and also dated Snape's love interest, Lily Evans. Snape dedicated his adult life to protecting Harry from Voldemort for Lily.

Children
James Sirius Potter James Sirius Potter, born between September 1, 2003 and August 31, 2004, was the eldest child of Harry and Ginny Potter, née Weasley. His godparents, aunt and uncle are Ron and Hermione Weasley. He has two younger siblings: Albus and Lily. James was named after his paternal grandfather, James Potter, and his paternal godfather, Sirius Black.

James is much like his uncle, Ron Weasley, in his bad timing and his knack for interfering in other people's love lives. He also seems to have inherited his sense of humor and love of mischief from his two uncles, Fred and George Weasley, and has a penchant for teasing his siblings and making mischief. He is also very much like his two namesakes, James Potter and Sirius Black, in his mischievous and trouble-making nature.

Albus Potter Albus Severus "Al" Potter (born between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006) is a half-blood wizard and the second son of Harry and Ginny Potter (née Weasley). Albus was the middle of three children, born at least a year after his older brother James and two years before his younger sister Lily. He was named in memory of Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape.

Albus is a quiet, kind and thoughtful boy, unlike his loud older brother. He seems to have inherited some of his father's personality, including his irrational and childish fear of being sorted into Slytherin. Of the siblings, Albus seems to have the closest relationship with his father. He seems to be interested in his father's fame and past, as he seems to have inherited his father's curiosity.

Lilly Luna Potter Lily Luna Potter (born between September 1, 2007 and August 31, 2008) is the youngest child of Harry and Ginny Potter (née Weasley). She had two older brothers, James Sirius and Albus Severus. She was named after her paternal grandmother and her parents' good friend Luna Lovegood.

Lily seems to have a similar personality to her mother. She is very jealous of her two older brothers when they leave for Hogwarts, much like the eagerness and envy Ginny showed when the last of her brothers left for school in 1991. She seems to enjoy talking to her family. She and her cousin Hugo had an "animated discussion" about which house they would be in, suggesting that they are really close cousins.
