Probably, now there is no person on Earth who would not know anything about Harry Potter. But in this article we will tell you not about Harry, but about his father. It's about James Potter, a purebred wizard who has made occasional appearances in books and films.
Who is James Potter
James Potter is a purebred wizard. In the seventh book, the reader learns that he is a descendant of one of the brothers who outsmarted Death itself and crossed the river. As a gift, Death gave this daredevil an invisibility cloak, which was then passed down from generation to generation. This invisibility cloak was different in that the invisibility charm did not fade with time. Moreover, those hiding under her were not afraid of spells, and she really protected her master from death. The evening James and Lily were killed, Dumbledore had the robe, who then passed it on to their son Harry.
James Potter Family
James Potter (actor Adrian Rawlins) was a late and only child. His parents no longer hoped to get an heir when James's mother unexpectedly became pregnant. When James was born, his parents in every possible wayspoiled, loved and gave a lot of attention and tenderness. Maybe it was for this reason that at school he sometimes behaved a little arrogantly and impudently. His parents died of dragon pox before Harry Potter was born.
Who killed James Potter and why
James Potter and his wife Lily were killed by the greatest dark sorcerer Volan de Mort. He did this because he knew about one prophecy. It was told by Sibyl Trelawney to Dumbledore when she was trying to get a job as a divination teacher at Hogwarts School. Then Severus Snape overheard them, but was caught and did not fully hear the prediction. He managed to convey to his master that he should beware of the boy whose parents escaped from the dark lord three times. In addition, this child was supposed to be born at the end of the seventh month, that is, July. There were two such boys - Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. And Voldemort chose the Potter family. When Severus found out about this, he begged for Lily Potter's life. Voldemort first killed James Potter. Lily Potter shielded Harry, and Voldemort had to kill her with the Avada Kedavra spell.
Hogwarts Animagi
At Hogwarts, James Potter became friends with Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin. It can be said about the last friend that he was a werewolf and tried to hide this from all the students. But when James and Sirius realized what was going on, they decided to illegally become animagus in order to keep their friend company on a full moon. So, Sirius turned into a huge shaggy black dog, Peter -into a gray rat, and James Potter into a deer. And their nicknames were consonant - Tramp, Tail, Prongs and Lunatic. It is noteworthy that the patronus of both James and his son was also a deer.
Sirius' bad joke
Ever from school, James Potter and Sirius began to feud with the future potions professor Severus Snape. He, too, began to suspect that Remus was actually a werewolf. And then Sirius decided to play a trick on him, saying that a very interesting event awaits him on the full moon. All he had to do was get into the Shrieking Hut, where Remus was hidden during his transformations. But James realized that in this way they put Snape in mortal danger. So Harry's father made a successful attempt to save Severus from his werewolf friend.
James Potter Patronus
The magical entity that is summoned by the Expecto Patronum spell is called a Patronus. It is usually used as a protector against dementors (creatures that are able to pull the soul out of a person). James' patronus was a stag. Notably, Harry Potter's patronus was the same as his father's. But Lily Potter's patronus was a doe. By the way, after the death of James and Lily, the patronus of Severus Snape also took the form of a doe.
Memory pool in Professor Snape's office
In the fifth book, Harry James Potter (the films about the Order of the Phoenix) deliberately enters the pool of memory in which Snape hid his thoughts from him. To his horror, he saw his father begin tomock Severus Snape. It was this event that made Harry doubt that his father was a good person. Therefore, he planned to sneak into Umbridge's office, and from there use the fireplace to contact Sirius. Luckily, no one caught him, and besides, Harry realized that his doubts about his father were in vain.
