## Biography

### Background

Before Harry's birth, a prophecy was made by Sybill Trelawney, stating that a boy born at the end of July would bring about the end of Lord Voldemort and end his reign of tyranny. This prophecy refers to the unborn son of Lily Evans and James Potter. This motivates Dumbledore to have the Potters move into a cottage in his old hometown, Godric's Hollow.

Born on July 31, 1980, Harry Potter was the only child and son of Lily Evans and James Potter. After being born, Sirius Black was made Harry's godfather. When Harry was a year old, his parents were killed by the Dark wizard, Lord Voldemort. During which, his mother sacrificed herself in between Voldemort and her toddler son. He was also an accidental horcrux.

Harry was rescued by Rubeus Hagrid before people began swarming the house in Godric's Hollow. Sirius once attempted to take baby Harry, as guardianship would be passed down to his godfather. However, Hagrid refused because Harry was supposed to go to his maternal family. Reluctant, Sirius gave Hagrid his flying motorcycle for them to travel faster. An orphan, Harry was left on the doorstep of the Dursleys by Albus Dumbledore, who knew Harry had to live with Petunia, the only living blood relative of Lily's for her sacrificial protection to live on with Harry's aunt. He was emotionally abused by his aunt's family, and neglected by the Dursleys.

### *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*

On the day of his cousin, Dudley's birthday, Harry goes with the Dursleys and Dudley's best friend to the zoo, where Dudley mocks a boa constrictor. He accidentally  uses magic to make the glass disappear and causes his cousin to fall in and the snake to escape. This is the first sign of his true heritage. About a couple of weeks later, Harry begins getting strange letters addressed to him. The ensuing disaster causes Vernon and Petunia to realize that the truth of Harry's parents are going to come out. Instead, they take a family vacation when the letters continue to harrass the family On Harry's eleventh birthday, Harry and the Dursleys are visited by Rubeus Hagrid, who tells Harry of his heritage and finally is able to give him his acceptance letter. Hagrid also reveals that his parents were murdered the night Voldemort disappeared. He later took Harry shopping for  his school supplies, starting at the Leaky Cauldron, where he meets Professor Quirrel.

### *Harry' Potter and the Order of the Phoenix*

Harry is haunted from the last year, watching Cedric get killed by Voldemort in front of him. While watching a family of muggles, he is suddenly faced by Dudley and his Gang. As a storm comes nearer, Dudley and Harry run for home but are suddenly attacked by Dementors, leading Harry to be forced to cast a patronus to save him and his cousin.

This results in Harry being expelled from school; however, Dumbledore is able to arrange a hearing for Harry to repeal the expulsion. He spends most of the summer at 12 Grimmauld Place and is saved from expulsion. He attempts speaking to Dumbledore after the trial but Harry is ignored.

### *Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince*

During the wedding of Bill and Fleur, it is interrupted by Death Eaters, causing them to flee to 12 Grimmauld Place, and found Kreacher spying on them. Kreacher and Dobby returned with Mandungus Fletcher, where he told them he gave the locket to Dolores Umbridge. Under the influence of Polyjuice Potion, Harry knocks Dolores out with the stunning spell and stole Slytherin's Locket around Umbridge's neck. They go into the woods and on the run.Overcome by the negative affects of the Horcrux, Ron abandons his friend and girlfriend. Harry and Hermione are now alone, feeling lost without Ron. They visit Godric's Hollow, where Harry visits his mother's and father's grave.

The snake attacks them, but Harry and Hermione manage to get away to the Forest of Dean. However, Harry gets knocked out whilst his wand his destroyed in the skirmish.

While taking his watch, Harry is guided by Severus Snape's patronus to where he hid the real Gryffindor Sword. Harry dives in for the sword but is suddenly choked to unconsciousness by the locket he wore but Ron had saved his friend and destroyed the Locket as they return to Hermione, who is overcome with anger when Ron approaches her. They go to Xenophilius's home, learning the tale of the Three Brothers. Xenophilius attempts to hand them over but the trio escape. However, they find themselves caught by Snatchers. To protect Harry, Hermione uses a spell that disguises him into a different person. They find themselves locked in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor with Luna, Mr Ollivander and Griphook the Goblin and hear Hermione's loud screams from Bellatrix torturing her. During the battle at Malfoy Manor, Harry easily disarms Draco, earning legience from the Elder Wand. Though they escape, Dobby is killed by Bellatrix Lestrange as Harry breaks down crying for the loss of another friend and proclaims to bury him without magic. After burying Dobby, Harry and his friends, Hermione and Ron go to Gringotts, the wizard bank, to break into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault and steal Hufflepuff's cup with Griphook helping them enter, but ultimately betrays them.

At one point, Harry attempted to ask her out on a date. However, Cho, disappointed, told Harry someone else arleady asked her (Cedric Diggory). During the Yule Ball, Harry notices her and thinks she is very beautiful that night. They began dating in the beginning of The Order of the Phoenix . However, they broke up due to their opposite personalities and Cho defecting Marietta Edgecomb . However, despite that, Harry and Cho remain friends and no longer remain hostile.

During the films, Harry's crush for Cho is genuine between the two of them. They begin dating in the fifth film, where Harry kisses Cho beneathe a mistletoe and thus starting their relationship. However, they break up because Harry initially believed she betrayed the DA for Umbridge. When it was revealed Cho revealed this information unwillingly, Harry looked remorseful for his treatment of her earlier. Like in the book, Harry and Cho remain friends rather than getting back together. Plus, breaking up with Cho makes Harry realize that she never stopped loving Cedric and that he loves Ginny afterwards.

### Ginny Weasley

When they were younger, Ginny had a crush on Harry since she met him at Platform 9 and three quarters. She eventually admits to loving him in Tom Riddle's diary. Though no romandic feelings emerged at this point, Harry was in absolute horror when he saw Ginny unconscious on the floor of the chamber of Secrets and ran to his future wife's side, begging her to wake up, as this day would be considered by Harry the worse days ever.

However, she attempted to move on from Harry to other men, especially after Harry began dating Cho. After breaking up with her, Harry realized he had romantic feelings for Ginny.
