Harry Potter

Auror | Master of Death | The Boy Who Lived

In my Hogwarts days, I protected the Philosopher's Stone from Voldemort, slayed a basilisk, and conjured a patronus at the age of 13. In my fourth year, I won the Triwizard Tournament, the youngest to ever win. I taught my first Defence Against the Dark Arts course at Hogwarts and formed Dumbledore's Army.


I played a significant role in the Battle of Hogwarts. I sacrificed myself to defeat Voldemort once and for all. I united the Deathly Hallows and become the Master of Death at seventeen.


I'm teaching the Defence Against the Dark Arts to witches and wizards of all ages to be able to protect themselves and their families. I want to make an impact beyond my work as an auror.
