Begin film Character Sketch Sample Harry Potter has the potential to be the most powerful wizard to ever live. He is already the most famous. Potter is a young boy with two entirely separate lives. In one life he is an orphan, forced to live with his wretched aunt and uncle and their mean-spirited son. But this is only his summer life. During the school year, Potter is a student at Hogwarts School of Magic. He also happens to be the only wizard ever to survive an attack by the Dark Lord Voldemort, which makes him something of a celebrity, and a target. Potter is supported by his two best friends, Ron and Hermione, also wizards at Hogwarts. Harry is in his early teens. He has dark hair and round-rimmed glasses. His most distinguishing characteristic is a jagged scar across his forehead, which he received when Lord Voldemort unsuccessfully tried to kill him. Unlike Hermione, an A+ student, Harry sometimes struggles with his studies. But this does not mean he lacks intelligence or wit. Harry proves very clever when faced with challenges in his daily life, which just happens to often involve battling Lord Voldemort. Harry routinely uses his intelligence to solve problems and puzzles put in his path while he searches for answers about his adversary. Harry is also exceedingly brave. Lord Voldemort is so powerful and frightening, that most wizards won’t even mention his name. In fact, they call him “the one who must not be named.” Voldemort is responsible for killing hundreds of wizards and witches. He even killed Harry’s parents. But this doesn’t stop Harry from standing toe-to-toe with the Dark Lord. Where others would certainly run and hide, Harry routinely stands and fights.
