## His Story

In addition to being way-too-cool-for-me best friend, Harry Osborn is the son of wealthy industrialist Norman Osborn. Harry's a smart kid and certainly is qualified to be a student at the Midtown School, but he lacks motivation. He spends most his energy thinking of ways to get out of work and go play. In addition to being his friend, I'm also something along of the lines of Harry's tutor. I doubt he would have made it out of sixth grade on his first try without my help.

As a boy, Harry was sick. Apparently his mother had somehow contracted a rare blood disease that she passed on to Harry. Weakened as she was after giving birth, Harry's mother died while Harry was still a baby. Harry would remain ill for much of his early childhood, bur shortly after we became friends his health drastically improved by leaps and bounds, maturing into a fairly athletic boy (he's definetly more athletic than I am).

Harry's reltionship with his father has always been... let's say strained. Mr. Osborn is doing the best he can, while also still mourning the death of his wife, but I think Harry is afraid that his dad blames him for his mother's death. Truth is, I think Harry blames himself as well. I've tried to talk to Harry about it and assure him that is not the case, but he gets really angry when anyone talks about his mother. About the only people I've seen able to talk to Harry about it without provoking him to immediate anger is my Aunt May and Liz.

I think it's fair to admit that Harry is a slacker. He has no real idea for what he will do after school. The closest I've seen plan for life after Midtown is when he talks about me and him being college roommates or when he's talking to Liz running away from her.

## Trivia and Notes

#### Fun Facts

* Harry has admitted to me that he suffers from severe nightmares, resulting in him developing severe insomnia. His lack of a functional sleep schedule may be partly responsible for his less-than-stellar academic performance during school.
* In 7th grade, both Harry and I developed a crush on Betty Brant. Out of mutual respect for one another, we both agreed to no make a move on her. Obviously, I didn't stand a chance against Harry in the romantic department so I regard this as one of the many instances that prove Harry is the best guy ever.
* Harry has a big interest in ocelots. For years, he wanted his dad to buy him one to keep as an exotic pet. Personally, I think he just thinks the word "ocelot" is cool.
* The relationship between Liz and Harry is best described as "thermodynamic". One day they are hot and heavy, the next they are giving each other the cold shoulder. Usually this is a result of Harry being in a bad mood and saying something he did not mean, but it has also known to happen when Liz gets a bit too flirty with other boys — upsetting Harry. It's way too much drama for me to keep up with, but Liz and Harry always seems to make up in time to spend the weekend as a couple.
* Harry is in the A.V. club with Sally, Ned, Betty, Max, Eddie, and myself. Harry's definetly the least qualified to be there, but Sally and Betty really like having him around.
* One day, in sixth grade, I saw Harry shoplift a soda from a bodega. I felt really bad that I didn't pressure him to return it. However, the very next day, the owner of the bodega said MJ was too pretty to be friends with me. So now I'm thinking "Yeah, that comments just cost a Crystal Pepsi, pal."
* Harry takes his video games seriously. When controllers are in hands, Harry knows no bigger enemy than Gwen Stacy.
