## Appearance

Harry has messy black hair and vibrant green eyes. He is incredibly skinny from malnutrition. Has a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead.

## Personality

Like his canon counterpart, Harry is outspokenly righteous, especially when it comes to standing up for his friends against bullies. With the Philosopher's Stone, his reactions to Snape, Voldemort, and the theft are on par with how things went in the book. He also still has trouble making friends. He's somewhat expanded from canon by being friends with his coven members, but beyond them he only spends time with Ron and Neville.

That said, in New Blood Harry has gone through some changes over time. He's become more contemplative and mild-mannered. Having a Slytherin for a friend has made him see the Grey side of life (e.g. Coming to terms with Hermione wanting revenge against her bullies and even helping her in a roundabout way.) He dislikes his fame. When discussing the chance to slay Slytherin's Monster, Harry said he'd prefer to be a side kick and avoid the spotlight.

Since joining the coven, their shared magic has made him less stubborn or quick to anger.  He's also surprisingly more laissez-faire, at least with the odd things in his life. For example, when getting the Grim in Divination he took the news with humour. Another example is that his reaction to meeting Tom was unexpected, more like an epiphany moment than shocked or disturbed.

## Hobbies

Harry loves flying and playing quidditch. He plays Seeker on the Gryffindor team.

## Memorable Quotes

"I promise never again shall I blindly follow Ron. Instead, I will ask myself 'what would Hermione do?' and act accordingly, and do the smart Hermione-like thing instead."

"Hermione, you're one of the only people in the world who actually give a *damn* about me. Dumbledore sent me back to the Dursleys, even *knowing* what they did to me last summer, whereas you *rescued* me from them. You kept me alive when I went to face off against Quirrell, too. You *care* about me, Hermione. I'm not just a tool to you. … And that's why I'd pick your side. I trust you."

"He insists that they're my legal guardians, though, and that I should stay with them. Summer break isn't school, though, so I just ignored him – he hasn't got power over me over the holidays." (about Dumbledore)

"The coven bonding was... everything, to me. I've made friends before, sure, but being there with you all, and *bonding* with you... That was more than just friendship. That was creating a trust and bond that will never be broken, knowing that we'll be tied together forever. And... it's kind of like what having a family might be like, I think. Having people who care about you and will back you up no matter what."

"I *hate* the Dursleys. I resent them so much ... but I mostly hate them for never telling me about my parents. … To learn that I had had a family that had loved me, that had *wanted* me … even if they had just told me that my parents were freaks … it would have been reassuring, you know? To know I wasn't just this weird freakish kid that was a stain on the world."
