In the Harry Potter series, the main character is Harry Potter, of course. Here is a description of the young man throughout the series.

Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980 to the wizard couple, James and Lily Potter. The pair starts dating in their 7th year at Hogwarts and ends up getting married to each other. The aurors loved their child.

On Halloween 1980, Harry Potter barely 3 months old, Lord Voldemort attacks the couple and child. He kills Harry's parents, leaving him an orphan. Harry survives the attack, with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. He is called "The Boy that Lived" by the other wizards. Hogwarts' Headmaster Dumbledore takes him to live with his aunt and uncle, the Dursleys. Aunt Petunia, Lily's sister, takes in Harry. She is told to do so by Dumbledore. He tells her the love of a blood relative will keep Harry safe.

The Dursleys raises Harry for 10 years, treating him poorly. He lives in a cupboard under the stairs. On Harry's 11th birthday, Hagrid shows up and takes Harry off to get a proper education at Hogwarts' School of Wizardry.

Harry continues to attend Hogwarts each year, learning more about his powers, about his parents, and about the wizarding world. At 13, he mets his godfather, Sirius Black. He has his first kiss with Cho at 15.
