Physical Description:

From the age of 1 and all the way into the present, there has been one enemy that Harry Potter has never been able to beat: his perpetually untidy raven black hair. He’s cut it, only to have it be back to the same length the next morning; he’s bathed it in muggle hair gel, only for it to have no effect. No matter what Harry does, his hair simply not be tamed, almost as if it has a life of his own. Below hanging bangs and planted on his forehead is the shadow of a scar –a lightning bolt that has been a part of him since birth and which, even if it’s currently somewhat more pale and less noticeable, he is sure will remain in its place until he passes away. Harry’s eyes are green, and a constant reminder of the mother he never truly met –unless you count seeing her ghost, which Harry really doesn’t. Wire-rimmed glasses are still a constant part of his appearance. Throughout Hogwarts, the Chosen One was never able to grow facial hair, but no he simply can’t stop it from crawling onto his face, forcing him to shave every day and still sport a five’o’clock shadow.

Despite the fact that Harry is now long gone from his Aunt and Uncle’s house, Harry is still always a tad bit too skinny, even if he now can eat whatever he wants whenever he wants too. He’s grown a bit into his body, but not enough to be well built. With knobbly knees and a pale complexion, he feels as though he’s still a mirror image of the boy he was at school –but, truth be told, his physical growth is easily noted. Harry Potter is no longer a teenager.


Personality Description:

Harry’s ability to tell between right and wrong, to be able to visualize what is and isn’t correct, is perhaps his biggest personality trait. And though he’s made mistakes, and even come close to making the wrong choice on the color scale, his moral compass has never allowed him to entirely dark. His conscience is what strongly guides him, and helps him with every decision he’s ever taken. Throughout his errors, he always has and always will follow what it says, abide the words of the little angel that perches constantly on his shoulder and advises him. He is a brave and selfless person, many times caring more for the well being of others instead of his own. He has risked his life many times to do what is right –and, at times, even been called a fool for it.

A born fighter, and perhaps overly competitive, Harry is not the type to simply sit down and allow abuse to befall him. Anger and occasional arrogance are his worst flaws, but deep down he’s an honorable person. Humble as they come, although he could be claimed as the wizard who saved the wizarding world from Voldemort, Harry often down plays his past achievements. He doesn’t enjoy being recognized, or being treated as a hero –he’s a normal boy who simply played the role that was thrown at him. He doesn’t believe he’s special –most of the time-, but that he was mostly lucky to still be alive.

Which brings us to Harry’s ultimate and most important strength: his understanding of the inevitability of death. After the life he’s lead, the things he’s seen and the places he’s been to, Harry Potter has managed to not only understand, but accept, that death is inevitable. It is not to be feared for, as he learnt in his first year but took six years to understand: death is nothing but the next big adventure that awaits every living being.

History:

Harry James Potter was born on the 31st July, 1980, to James Potter and Lily Evans. Despite the trouble baby Harry was actually in –as Lord Voldemort, one of the darkest wizards of all time, wanting him killed-, he was a happy child: living in the house James and Lily had put under a Fidelius Charm so as to stay hidden, the first year of Harry’s life knew only joy –as he played with the cat and received his first toy broomstick. It was only on Halloween that everything changed for the worse: thanks to a traitor in their midst, Voldemort had discovered the location of the Potter family. James and Lily were murdered but, when the dark wizard turned on baby Harry, the spell mysteriously bounced of the child and back at its caster. Voldemort, no with no body to speak of, fled, while Harry Potter –now regarded as The Boy Who Lived by the wizarding population- was flown by orders of Albus Dumbledore to a house on Private Drive that belonged to his Aunt Petunia and her husband Vernon Dursley –muggles, who spent the next ten years of Harry’s life trying to make him normal.

…Until the day his Hogwarts letter arrived –the final one, for many were sent, accompanied by a halfgiant called Rubeus Hagrid. There, on the day of his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter discovered that he was a wizard, and the truth about his parent’s death. Furious at his Aunt and Uncle –who had lied about the reason that the Potter’s were dead-, Harry accepted his invitation and began his first term at the school on September 1st. He learnt magic, and about the existence of a magical game played on a broomstick called ‘Quidditch’; he became friends with a redhead named Ron Weasley and a know-it-all called Hermion Granger –while making a few enemies, such as the Potions Master named Snape, and a fellow first year called Draco Malfoy. All the while, as the year went about, Harry discovered a plot to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, which was hidden at Hogwarts. As the year came to an end, he stopped it from being stolen –and therefore defeated Voldemort for the second time in his life, as the dark wizard had possessed Harry’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

But Voldemort was not about to simply give up then: after Harry’s second  –when the Chamber of Secrets was opened and the school only saved by the basilisk within when the twelve year old stabbed Voldemort’s old journal with one of the giant serpent’s fangs- and third –when, after an entire year of believing that escaped Godfather turned supposed traitor to the Potter family turned Escaped Prisoner of Azkaban Sirius Black was out to kill him and finish the job, Harry discovered that, actually, it had been another of his parent’s friends who had betrayed them, and Sirius had been out for revenge- year, came the now fourteen year old’s fourth year. After a troubling summer, during which the Quidditch World Cup was held –and where a small group of Voldemort’s old supporters tortured muggles only to then scatter when their master’s sign appeared in the sky-, the school year began with impressive news: The TriWizard Tournament, a contest held between Hogwarts and three other schools, was to be held. Out of what appeared to be sheer bad luck –although in the end turned out to be the meddling of an imposter at Hogwarts-, Harry became the fourth participant in what should have been a group of three. Throughout the year, with growing worries and rumors, Harry somehow managed to make it through the three tasks that made up the tournament –only to be portekeyd into a graveyard, where, using Harry’s blood and other instruments, Voldemort rose from the dead once and for all. The fourteen year old just barely managed to escape with his life.

The war against Voldemort began in earnest, and through Harry’s fifth year the world was dark. The Order of The Phoenix, an old group of people who were dedicated to fight back, rose once again, but, though Voldemort had not yet shown his face and much of the world believed that Harry’s testimony of what had occurred after the Third Task was a lie, the world remained a tumultuous place. As the year came to an end, and as Harry was in the middle of finishing his OWLs, Voldemort made us of a connection he and Harry somehow shared to make the fifteen year old believe Sirius was being held captive in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. However, it turned out to be a lie, to get Harry to come to the Ministry and retrieve a prophecy regarding himself and the Dark Lord –stating, in laymen terms, that either Harry would kill Voldemort or the other way around, for they could not be alive together. In the battle that followed, Sirius Black was, indeed, killed.

As the world grew darker, so did Harry’s life as his sixth year rolled around. Though during the time period he shared his first kiss with Ginny Weasley, Ron’s sister –only to break it all off when he realized Ginny would only be in danger if by his side-, it was also the year that he learnt about the existence of horcruxes –small recipients in which a wizard could store bits of his or her soul in order to make themselves immortal- and the fact that Dumbledore believed Voldemort had created several of them to remain alive. At the end of the year, on the same night that Albus took Harry to help in finding another horcrux and destroying it, the Headmaster was killed by Severus Snape.

Voldemort quickly took over the wizarding world, and it became as dark as it ever had. Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to find the remaining horcruxes in order to destroy them so as to be able to finish Voldemort off once and for all, and therefore did not attend Hogwarts for their seventh year. They spent the year gathering and destroying the items. However, before they’d finished their task, Voldemort discovered the truth and, through the mysterious connection with Harry, shared the location of the final one: Hogwarts. And so, as the trio searched for the final Horcrux –and Nagini, who they had long ago realized was also one-, Voldemort stormed the castle in order to protect it. The battle was cataclysmic, Hogwarts almost destroyed. In the midst of it all, Harry discovered he was actually a eight horcrux, and that was the nature of his mental  connection with the Dark Lord: the night he’d tried to murder Harry for the first time, he’d accidentally created an unwilling vessel for his soul. Harry allowed Voldemort to kill him in order to leave the road open for his friends to destroy the final two horcruxes and finish the Dark Lord –but, somehow, even though he witnessed death, Harry was given the choice to return to the living. And so he did, though only in order to finish the task ahead. The battle broke out again –and only after Neville managed to cut off Nagini’s head was Harry able to finally destroy his nemisis.


And so, the threat was over, and all that was left to do was rebuild. And that was exactly what they did: with a new Minister of Magic, the wizarding world was able to have Hogwarts ready for classes to resume on September 1st of that very year –around the same time Harry and Ron began training to become Aurors. Towards the end of the year, Harry and Ginny began dating in earnest. The now eighteen year old also now had a young godson to take care of –and he made a point of loving Ted Lupin as much as his late parents would have. By the time a year since the battle of Hogwarts had been fought, Harry and Ron were both officially junior Aurors. They were both present at the first Remembering Day to share their stories.

As the years went by, Harry and Ginny continued their relationship, and Harry made sure he had a close one with his nephew. In 2003, Harry and Ginny were married, and towards the end of the year had their first child: James. In 2004, a group of prisoner’s managed to escape their cells in Azkaban and take over the fortress. A battle was fought, and Harry jumped in to be a part of it. Soon after, before the year was out, Ginny gave birth to the second child: Albus. After that, a few years of tranquility went past –though the man still worked his cases, everything was normal as possible.  Until 2008, when, on Remembering Day, two men were murdered and Harry felt it all rushing back. But instead of digging deep in memories, Harry simply focused on still fighting for the world he believed in and wanted to see prosper. And so he does –in the midst of dealing with a very pregnant Ginny, and wondering just why on earth they decided to have yet another kid.

Describe your job duties and how you go about them: As an Auror, Harry is tasked with catching Dark Wizards. As he has basically been doing this in some way or another since he was a teenager, he simply felt like it was the right choice of a career for him. He goes about the job with determination and a bravery that sets him apart from many others.


Elaborate on your expertise in your field: Brave and selfless, Harry is known for knowing how to defend himself against Dark Magic. He’s good with a wand, and has a critical and analitical mind that allows him to sort through information, therefore finding it not so difficult to close cases.


Writing Sample: See Cooper Evans


Sum up your character in one paragraph:  The best two words with which to describe Harry as are brave and sensless. He lives for his family, and for the world he lives in. He does not fear death, and is therefore able to make the hard sacrificing choices whenever he's faced with difficulties.
