Harry was an iconic madman who haunts Valentine Bluffs and the surrounding area, driven to attack anyone he encounters by a burning need to avenge the death of his beloved mother, Megan Warden.
He is the overarching character of My Bloody Valentine, the main antagonist of the other films, the posthumous overarching antagonist of My Bloody Valentine: A New Beginning and the anti-heroic secondary antagonist of Ghostface vs. Harry.
==History==
==Characteristics and Methods==
As there are supernatural and demonic things involved with Harry, it is not known if Harry really even had a character and personality anymore save for that of a mute stalking murderer. However, it did seem that he must have had some residue of his humanity left in him thought it being that of a child. Harry was known to grunt when injured heavily. He revered his mother as she was the only person that showed him true love in his childhood. After her death, he constructed a crude altar in the shack where he lived with his mother's head at the center to which he placed his victims at the foot of it, as though it were a human sacrifice, demonstrating that he had some beliefs. Ginny, knowing the story of him and his mother used the child persona against him to trap him in order to kill him to protect herself from further harm. Tom Hanniger as a child also used the child persona against him by making himself look like Harry did as a child, in order to trap him like Ginny had once done to save his sister. Both attempts to use the child persona against him were successful.
As a mortal human, Harry had a bizarre sense of humor, shaking the outhouse one of his victims was in before running away. He also seemed to enjoy killing as he smiled sadistically once Chris recognized who he was. Harry also displayed frustration when he couldn't find Chris, tearing apart the barn in irritation and anger. Though he was silent, one could tell that he was an angry, vengeful man as he made countless grunts when he was chasing his victims. Once he became one of the undead, Harry lost any human emotion he once had besides the everlasting hatred towards humanity for the way they treated him and his mother, Megan. Though he didn't harm the kids who were staying in one of the cabins at Valentine Bluffs in My Bloody Valentine Part VI: Harry Lives while when he was alive, he didn't hesitate to attempt to kill Tom Hanniger who was twelve in My Bloody Valentine: The Final Chapter.
Harry stalked his victims cunningly, quietly, and sometimes grudgingly as with Tom Hanniger and Shepard at one point, but not recklessly, and luring them to their deaths. After killing his victims, he usually hid the bodies to prevent others from raising the alarm and to create more terror when his next intended victim would find it. If Harry had any virtues left, it would be that he never killed children under the age of thirteen or pets, and when he killed, it was always quick and their suffering was not long unless they struggled against him. Another virtue of Harry is shown when he saves Campbell twice from becoming Ghostface's victim after she saved him from getting killed by the stalker himself. Harry truly hated Ghostface for tricking and using him.
An example from My Bloody Valentine Part VIII: Harry Takes Manhattan, involves Harry being confronted by a street gang of young teenage boys one of whom threatens him with a knife, however, Harry chooses not to kill them and instead scares them off by removing his mask and showing them his face. Harry chose not to harm any of the children he encounters in Harry Lives out of a sympathy for the plight of children generated by his own death as a child.
==Powers and Abilities==
*Superhuman Strength: In My Bloody Valentine Part II, Harry was shown to have some sort of enhanced strength capable of impaling victims with ease and was capable of breaking out a window with a single shot and his fist was barely formed and within My Bloody Valentine Part III was capable of crunching someone's head while lifting them and later throwing said 100+ pound man through a window. With each different incarnation, Harry's strength seems to vary and change, developing positively or either negatively depending on the conditions of his reincarnation or the effect cast upon him. On default, however, Harry, in most of his counterparts and interpretations, possesses enhanced superhuman strength capable of stunning and dismembering fully grown normal human beings and teenagers, and he is rarely ever overpowered by one normal individual unless overthrown by the presence of constricting factors such as chains or boulders.
*Pain Resistance: Harry as a human still has a human personality and he has felt pain the same as humans but had shown an exceptional amount of tolerance for it as shown in My Bloody Valentine Part III and The Final Chapter he still shows human reactions when being stabbed and slashed by Chris and Tom. Harry withstood fatal injuries that would kill or cripple a normal person under normal circumstances such as being hanged, an axe to the head, a machete through the shoulder, and being impaled through the head. As an undead, Harry no longer responds to pain and can generally function in situations where pain would disable a normal person. However, in Harry Goes to Hell: The Final Valentine, Harry can be heard groaning in pain while being shot at by the FBI.
*Stealth (Stalk/Super Speed): Harry can appear near his victims through means of walking; he can easily slip in and out of areas undetected. This is best seen in My Bloody Valentine Part VIII: The New Blood when Harry kills Charles. He can swim at incredible speeds, completely unrestricted by water resistance. He can make himself go unnoticed in his surroundings, allowing him to freely act without being noticed, essentially allowing himself to slip into the shadows to go unnoticed and reappear behind his victims for a quick and easy elimination.
*Intelligence: Harry is shown to be extremely intelligent and high-functioning while possessing some tactical sense and strategic planning despite his hydrocephalic deformities. He lays traps for his victims as seen in My Bloody Valentine Part II, can be seen restraining victims to avoid detection, and he carefully arranges the bodies of his victims, occasionally using them as blockades or projectiles. His sense of direction is perfect, as he is always able to go wherever he wants to go, usually back to Valentine Bluffs even from long distances. He can escape all manner of bonds. Every one of his kills is unique, and he always finds creative ways to get to his victims as well. Beyond this, though, his intellectual capabilities are unclear and not clarified for the duration of the series, only being shown in his tactical malice towards camp counselors and his never ending objective to kill anyone that wanders into the territory of Valentine Bluffs.
*Revenant Zombie Physiology: After being resurrected from a lightning bolt strike caused by Tom Hanniger stabbing his corpse with a metal rod, Harry was accidentally brought back to life as an Undead but unlike the usual Zombies, Harry doesn't want to eat human flesh nor crave anything like usual zombies but instead Harry has kept his human personality and kept his former memories intact meaning now he is just a Zombie with intelligence.
*Supernatural Strength: After becoming a revenant zombie, Harry's superhuman physical strength has become titanic, and immediately demonstrated his newfound power by punching right through Tom's friend's body and gouging his heart out with a single punch. Harry is capable of sending his victim flying through the air. His feats of strength include going through concrete, decapitating someone with a simple punch, freeing himself when he was pinned by a fallen tree and can break humans in half as well as rip limbs from their bodies just small portion of his new zombie strength, as he tossed a man with a single thrust and ripped his arm off in the process and then proceeded to decapitate three people with a single machete slash, cause a girl head to be smashed through metal forming her facial expression, and able to twist a girls head off without no effort, and able to break and bend back Officer Mike Garris.
*Immortality: After becoming a revenant zombie in Harry Lives, Harry has become functionally immortal, which means he does not age and physical injuries or illness that would have killed a normal human would eventually heal and won't truly affect him.
**Regeneration: Harry, after becoming a Revenant Zombie, now possesses a unique ability to regenerate any lost and damaged tissue at an accelerated rate. As a result, he can sustain bullet and knife wounds and be essentially unaffected by them. This ability allows him to recover from any fatal injuries that are physically caused to him. So in the logical sense, he can only be incapacitated such as being chained to the bottom of Valentine Bluffs' lake, but even still he will be almost and always be restored to "perfect" health, his constantly changing state of deformity can be attributed to his constant regeneration. This regeneration, however, is not perfect, as Harry still possesses an undead, desiccated appearance of exposed bones and deteriorating tissue. Technically being undead, his body is not affected by existing detrimental contaminants. He has complete immunity to all kinds of poison, virus, disease, bacteria, etc. (However, it's not fully known how he can still be sedated as proven when Chucky had possessed Freeburg was able to render him unconscious with two syringes, and at some point, in the future, Jason was kept imprisoned via a combination of chained restraints and some unknown sedative substance administered to him by an I.V.)
*Resurrection: When Harry is defeated as shown at the end of Harry Lives, he is kept in a place hibernating state and only outside forces such as the supernatural or human forces such as Shepard telepathically and accidentally reviving him from his watery prison and Chucky who resurrected Harry due to the fact Harry doesn't decay like the regular dead and was capable of returning Harry when entering his dream.
*Supernatural Durability: As an undead, Harry now has beyond superhuman durability able to endure and tank virtually anything thrown at him from taking revolver shots and even surviving a motorboat repellor to the mask.
*Teleportation: Harry possessed this ability in My Bloody Valentine Part VIII: Harry Takes Manhattan.
*Weapons Proficiency: Harry can use anything at his disposal as a weapon, he can create improvised weapons and instantly use them effectively
*Hunting Skills/Tracker:￼ Harry can track down, trap, and persue a person/group relentlessly for miles, He can adapt to his surroundings instantly, and will not stop until his target(s) are dead as seen in Part VIII: Harry Takes Manhattan, Part VI: Harry Lives, and Part II.
===Uber Harry===
*Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to the nanobites fully resurrecting and upgrading Harry into an unknown metal substance around a majority of his body he is now completely immune to bullets and other such things as the only thing capable of damaging this new body was when Elijah Brodski had intercepted Harry in space, sending the both of them through earth's atmosphere and back into reentry causing just the mask barely destroyed but still indicates Jason might have survived.
*Incomprehensible Strength: Already possessing both Superhuman and Supernatural Strength this new form dubbed as Uber Harry has dramatically increased his newfound abilities capable of punching down a steel beam door which was bolted and sealed with a single punch and this has displayed his new monstrous strength.
*Vacuum Space Survivability: Due to Nanotechnology upgrade, Uber Harry's Mask gives him the capabilities to survive in the vacuum of space itself without having any known side-effect.
==Weapons==
Harry can use anything at his disposal as a weapon, but it seems that he is particularly fond of the pickaxe. He also used his bare hands on many occasions to kill. However, Harry doesn't use any kind of firearms (although he made use of a spear gun in Part III, The Final Chapter, and Part VIII: Harry Takes Manhattan).
