Wizarding Card of the Moment: Harry Potter

The only child of James and Lily Potter, with whom he shares many distinct characteristics, most notably James' untidy black hair and Lily's green eyes.

It is also revealed later that he gets his cheekiness from his mother.

He was born on 31 July 1980. He achieved fame at the age of one when Lord Voldemort, the most feared wizard in the world, attacked his home, murdering his parents but failing to kill him, though leaving him with his instantly recognisable lightning-shaped scar. In the attempt, Voldemort was ripped from his body by his own backfiring Killing Curse. Harry's survival was shown later to be a result of his mother's love from him, and the fact that she died to save him.

At Hogwarts, Harry has shown himself to be a gifted wizard, excelling both at Defence Against the Dark Arts and Quidditch, along with being recognised as a capable leader within his house, Gryffindor, and the school in general. Despite his best attempts, he has been unable to downplay his fame and his inability to do so has at times been a source of great frustration to him, making him the target of unwanted media attention, rumours, gawking (chiefly at his scar) and the ire of professors and classmates alike. However, despite all external pressures, he remains overall courageous, noble, and high-minded, though at times these qualities have been shown to negatively manifest themselves in what Hermione Granger termed his "saving-people thing".

He is best friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione, and his enemies are Lord Voldemort, Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy. - www.wikipedia.org
