Harry James Potter was born on July 31, 1980. He shares the same birthday as J. K. Rowling.

He almost died at the age of fifteen months, on October 31, 1981, when Lord Voldemort, a powerful dark wizard, cast the unforgivable Avada Kedavra curse on him. Before Harry, no one had ever survived such a spell. He only kept a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from this attack. It was the power of his mother Lily's love, who sacrificed herself for him, that caused this "miracle". However, the details of this unexpected event are not revealed to the reader until the seventh novel. One thing is certain: Lily's love was something Voldemort was unable to foresee, let alone understand. This "miraculous" protection comes from a very ancient magic linked to love and can remain active until Harry's majority, provided that someone of his blood (in other words, his aunt Petunia) welcomes him into their home. The dark wizard's spell backfired on him and he was reduced to a bodiless being, weaker even than a ghost but nevertheless still capable of using his power of possession. Harry remained briefly alone in his crib, wounded on his forehead, in the middle of his almost completely destroyed house, the ruins covering the bodies of his father and mother. Very soon, however, Rubeus Hagrid came to rescue him and went to join Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall with Sirius Black's flying motorcycle, Harry's godfather, so that he would not be found by the Death Eaters.

Harry was placed at 4 Privet Drive with his uncle and aunt, the Dursleys — Muggles, who thus, albeit reluctantly, complied with Albus Dumbledore's request. He lived with them until his entry into Hogwarts, then only returned there every summer, until his definitive departure, in the summer of his 17th birthday. Dumbledore, who was aware of the protective magic linked to blood, sent a letter to his aunt Petunia Dursley, née Evans, sister of Lily Evans Potter, explaining what had happened at the Potters' house. However, Petunia, disgusted by magic, her "horrible monster of a sister" and her "horrible husband", hid the truth about her parents' death and his nature as a wizard from her nephew. The Dursleys made his life difficult, making him perform many thankless tasks, while their son Dudley, a big chubby boy spoiled by his parents, made Harry his punching bag, enjoying chasing him with his friends (a game they called Harry hunting) and hitting him, the rare times he managed to catch him. Harry also suffered much abuse from his uncle and aunt: until the end of his tenth year, he slept in a cupboard under the stairs, had to cook for them (but very rarely ate his fill) and could only wear Dudley's old clothes. But above all, he grew up from the age of fifteen months to the age of eleven without parental love. The Dursleys had to move during the events of the seventh novel so that Voldemort could not track them down.

(*) A bobblehead figurine, sometimes translated as "wobble-head figurine", is a type of collectible toy, whose head is often oversized compared to its body. Instead of a solid joint with the rest of the body, it is connected by a spring or a hook so that the head shakes when touched, hence the name.
