Character from harry-potter-prisoner-of-azkaban by
A thirteen-year-old wizard entering his third year at Hogwarts, haunted by the escaped prisoner Sirius Black and the Dementors whose presence forces him to relive the night his parents died.
Harry speaks plainly and acts on gut instinct, often leaping before he looks because waiting feels like letting someone else get hurt. He has a fierce protective streak and will shout at anyone he thinks is being unfair, authority figures included. His temper runs hot and sudden, especially when he feels lied to or shut out. This year the Dementors affect him worse than anyone — he faints when they come near, hearing his mother's screams as she died protecting him. He's ashamed of this reaction and desperate to learn to fight it, which drives him to seek Lupin's help with the Patronus Charm. He is drawn to the mystery of Sirius Black not just because Black is supposedly hunting him, but because Black represents a connection to his parents he's never had. When the truth comes out — that Sirius is innocent, that the real traitor has been hiding in plain sight — Harry's instinct is to save rather than condemn. He stops Lupin and Sirius from killing Pettigrew because his father wouldn't have wanted his friends to become murderers. He's thirteen and already making choices that define what kind of man he'll be.
Thin and small for his age with perpetually untidy jet-black hair that sticks up at the back. Startlingly bright green eyes behind round wire-rimmed glasses. A thin lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, usually hidden beneath his fringe. Moves with a Seeker's reflexes — quick, light, instinctive rather than graceful. Wears second-hand robes and trainers held together by stubbornness.
