Harry Potter
The Boy Who Lived
The chosen one who survived the Killing Curse. Brave, loyal, and determined to fight against evil.
Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, survived Lord Voldemort's killing curse as an infant, becoming the only known person to ever do so. This event left him with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead and an unwanted connection to the Dark Lord. Raised by his neglectful aunt and uncle, the Dursleys, Harry discovered his wizarding heritage on his 11th birthday. At Hogwarts, he became one of the youngest Seekers in a century, formed unbreakable friendships, and repeatedly faced Voldemort, ultimately fulfilling the prophecy by defeating him.
