When do harry and ginny get together

After Ron abandoned his friends, Harry took to staring at Ginny's dot on the Marauder's Map for hours. Right before willingly letting himself be hit with Voldemort's Killing Curse , Harry's thoughts were of Ginny and the feel of her lips on his. During the announcement of Harry's supposed "death", Ginny's scream of anguish rivalled that of Ron's and Hermione's. After Harry revealed himself to be alive and defeated Voldemort , he commented that he and Ginny now had several years in which to talk.

At some point Harry proposed and Ginny must have accepted. Nothing is known about the wedding or the reception that followed. It can be assumed that close friends and family were in attendance. The Potter family attended the Quidditch World Cup. Once there, gossip columnist Rita Skeeter commented on nasty cut over Harry's right cheekbone and the state of Harry and Ginny's marriage:.

Has his wife perhaps cursed him? Are cracks beginning to show in a union that the Potters are determined to promote as happy? Should we read anything into the fact that his wife Ginevra has been perfectly happy to leave her husband and children behind in London whilst reporting on this tournament? Considering Skeeter's propensity to report fiction, rather then the truth, it seems very unlikely that the couple's marriage is in jeopardy.

When Skeeter remarked that Harry was " publicity-hungry " — just as Ginny was approaching, Rita was taken "unaccountably ill" with what some called " a jinx to the solar plexus ". Harry Potter Wiki Explore.

Wright — who was 18 at the time of filming — told Insider she was worried that she wouldn't do the pivotal scene justice. And creating a sense of intimacy was even harder for her as she had to do it with someone — Daniel Radcliffe — who she said was like a brother to her.

Wright was just nine years old when she was cast in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" alongside Radcliffe who was Asked whether she predicted that Ginny would end up with the Boy Who Lived, Wright said: "Never, but I think there were moments obviously that she kind of hinted towards it like Ginny obviously had a crush on Harry much before he did.

So I think there's this nice sort of slow build, which finally paid off," Wright said. She had a vision. Wright said her favorite filming experiences were those shot in the Weasley family home, "The Burrow," but some of the funnier ones were with her love interest, Harry. Now 29, Wright said people continue to recognise her for her trademark ginger locks and request selfies with Ginny. While some celebrities who have played iconic characters might find this annoying, Wright said it's rewarding.

It's all had such a positive effect on people's lives," Wright said. Wright recently returned to the wizarding world to lend her voice to "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" audiobook upon special request from J. He considered Snape to be one of the bravest men he had ever known, and gave his second son , who was the only one of his children to inherit Lily's eyes, the middle name "Severus".

Snape's display of goodness made Harry lose his bigotry towards Slytherin, using Snape's status as a former Slytherin yet still being so brave to ease Albus's fears. In the alternate future where Harry died, Snape was extremely disappointed and felt deep guilt and remorse for failing to protect him and quickly agreed to help Scorpius Malfoy, who was the cause of this change, restore the timeline back so Harry would still be alive.

The fact that Harry named his second son after himself deeply moved Severus and he told Scorpius he was proud of Albus carrying his name.

Content with the fact that his legacy would be remembered in a time he will never experience and his sacrifice would save the legacy of his love, Snape did not hesitate to give his life to allow Scorpius to fix his mistake, dying once again without regret as he saved Harry and therefore Lily's legacy. Ironically, the two shared many similarities that neither of them were aware of. Both were half-blood wizards who grew up among Muggles.

Both of their Muggle caretakers were cruel to them Snape's father was implied to be abusive to Snape and his mother, while the Dursleys were neglectful towards Harry.

Both grew up wearing secondhand clothes however, Snape was likely forced to wear them due to his family's poverty, Harry's relatives were simply reluctant to afford any major expenses on him. In addition, the two grew up virtually friendless until attending Hogwarts Snape due to his unstable family life and secondhand clothes, Harry due to his relatives isolating him.

Upon entering Hogwarts, Snape and Harry were bullied mercilessly, in Snape's case, by the Marauders who were led by James Potter , and Harry by ironically Snape himself and Draco Malfoy , among others. Furthermore, both had at least one near-death experience during their Hogwarts: Snape was nearly killed in an abortive prank by the Marauders, while Harry repeatedly had Voldemort attempting to kill him.

However, both Harry and Snape had at least one silver gleaming: their attraction to a redhead Lily Potter and Ginny Weasley , respectively. Of course, Snape did not marry Lily who married James and mothered Harry , while Harry himself did marry Ginny with whom he had sired a child named Albus Potter.

Gilderoy Lockhart , former professor. Lockhart was a very handsome and famous author, who claimed he had done great deeds but had in fact only taken credit for the deeds after erasing the memories of the actual doers: his only skill. Lockhart was extremely vain and highly self-obsessed; he assigned all of his own, very expensive, books for his class. Lockhart continually pulled Harry into the limelight against his will, often implying that Harry hoped to be as famous as Lockhart, which caused Harry a great deal of embarrassment and irritation.

Indeed, Harry made an active effort to avoid Lockhart as much as possible. While Lockhart gifted his entire set of books to Harry as a publicity stunt and hoping to garner some liking from the famous boy, Harry instead donated them all to Ginny Weasley , both because he could afford his own and he was rather unhappy with his first interaction with Lockhart. In addition to this, Lockhart was an utterly incompetent teacher, a fact that became apparent to Harry during his first lesson with the author.

After setting an irrelevant, narcissistic half-hour test , Lockhart released a cage of Cornish pixies into the classroom without giving any sort of instructions on how to control the creatures, and, in the resulting havoc, went on to instruct Harry and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger to round up the creatures after his own attempt had failed.

At one point during the year, Lockhart's ineptitude caused unnecessary harm to Harry when, in a misguided attempt at first aid for a bone fracture, he used a spell that removed all the bones in his arm. This, combined with the fact Lockhart had arrogantly ignored Harry's refusal of treatment, soured their relationship further. Harry's opinion for Lockhart only worsened when the professor insisted that Rubeus Hagrid is the perpetrator of the Chamber of Secrets incident solely based on the Minister for Magic arresting him as a precaution, which made Harry yearned to throw a book at Lockhart's face.

When Ginny Weasley had been taken into the Chamber of Secrets , Lockhart boasted that he knew exactly how to enter the Chamber and defeat the monster within; though McGonagall only challenged him to do so in order to shut him up, Harry and Ron, who actually did know how to get into the Chamber, tried to tell him what they knew, only to find him packing his things and getting ready to flee.

At this point, Lockhart admitted the truth about his "accomplishments", bringing Harry's contempt for the incompetent, arrogant narcissist to boiling point.

Harry did not hesitate using the Disarming Charm to throw Lockhart backwards. In the tunnels to the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart attempted to erase Harry and Ron's memories, but fortunately for everyone except him, Lockhart attempted to cast the Memory Charm with Ron's broken wand, and the charm backfired.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione encountered him again, with absolutely no memories but still using his battered peacock feather quill, as a permanent resident of St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Harry's sympathy for Lockhart was extremely limited for the attempt was all Lockhart's fault to begin with in addition to his intent to flee and leave Ginny for dead. Sybill Trelawney , Divination professor. As Sybill Trelawney had a tendency to predict various grim deaths for Harry every Divination class , Harry was not especially fond of his Divination professor.

Though most of Trelawney's predictions were nonsensical, in , Harry learned it was Trelawney who had made the prophecy about him and Voldemort , and another in regarding the return of Peter Pettigrew to the service of Voldemort, though she was completely unaware of having done so. In addition, he had a slightly better opinion of Trelawney than his friends, as while neither Hermione or Ron believed Trelawney's prediction of Voldemort's return, dismissing it as being just another fraudish prediction despite Harry's description of the event, Harry was nevertheless cautious of it and it proved to be true.

The fact that he was the only one out of the trio who knew Trelawney was genuinely a Seer from Dumbledore's revelations likely made him believe Trelawney a bit more than his friends. Though Harry was not a huge fan of the subject, in general, Harry liked the other Divination professor, Firenze , a centaur who had saved Harry's life in Despite his general dislike of Sybill for being mostly a fraud who kept annoying him with nonsensical predictions of his death, it did not prevent Harry from extending his sympathy towards her when Dolores Umbridge began her attempts to weed out Sybill, as Harry pitied her poor performance when she was put on probation, understanding the amount of stress she was put under and would have felt sorry for her had he not been worrying about Hagrid, and when Umbridge finally, in the utmost cruel manner, sacked Sybill, Harry was utterly disgusted by the great callousness delight at Trelawney's suffering Umbridge showed and later on he even asked Lavender on how she was doing, whereas Hermione and Ron did not bother to ask it, with Hermione acting cool when questioned by Lavender and Parvati, showing the most amount of genuine concern and empathy for the latter's state out of the trio.

Remus Lupin : good friend, protector, and former professor. Harry's simple student-teacher relationship with Remus Lupin quickly developed into a strong friendship. A friendship that was akin to one that a kind, loving uncle and his favourite nephew would share. Harry first met Remus when he was an infant. They met again in when Remus saved him from the Dementors on the Hogwarts Express. He soon became Harry's favourite professor as well as a mentor of sorts.

Remus was the very first Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that was competent and actually taught Harry anything useful, which Harry described him as the best they ever had. It was suggested that Remus' classes were how Harry discovered his extraordinary talent for Defence Against the Dark Arts.

When Harry continued to be badly affected by Dementors, Remus agreed to give him private lessons to teach him the very advanced Patronus Charm. It was during these lessons that Harry discovered that Remus was one of his parents' oldest, dearest friends. Although Remus attempted to maintain a teacher-student relationship with Harry, he did act more as a close friend or a beloved uncle at times; with him answering his questions patiently, sharing Butterbeer after a private lesson, assisting him in avoiding trouble with Professor Snape , and even returning the Marauder's Map to Harry once he was no longer a professor.

Harry in turn, became deeply fond of Remus and was upset to hear of his resignation after Severus Snape exposed him as a werewolf. He even attempted to try and talk him into staying on at Hogwarts but, it was futile, though Remus told him that it had been a real pleasure teaching him, and assured him that they would meet again.

Remus protecting Harry when his boggart turns into a Dementor in The two indeed met again in the summer of when members of the Advance Guard of the Order of the Phoenix arrived to pick up Harry from Privet Drive. Although initially wary of intruders, Harry relaxed on learning of Remus's presence in the group, indicating that he still trusted his father's old dear friend despite a year without contact.

Remus's undercover assignment with the werewolves prevented him from maintaining contact with Harry in the wake of his godfather 's death, something about which he expressed regret.

On the few occasions that they saw each other during Harry's sixth year, Harry was worried about Remus's increasingly haggard and gaunt appearance. He displayed a protective streak towards Remus, expressing anger over his forced resignation from Hogwarts and the general perception of werewolves. In , Harry was thrilled to hear of Remus's marriage to Nymphadora Tonks and was puzzled by Lupin's increasingly worried appearance. He was outraged when Remus temporarily left his wife for fear of their then unborn child becoming a werewolf and called him a coward for abandoning them, and Remus got so angry that he flung Harry away with his wand, causing him to bang his head on the wall, and then, he left.

While Harry maintained his stance on their argument, he deeply regretted the harsh words he said to Remus in his anger. When Remus' son Teddy Lupin was born, Harry was relieved that Remus had clearly forgiven him, and was overwhelmed but delighted to be made Teddy's godfather. Remus also spoke about Harry on Potterwatch , saying that if Harry could hear him he would tell him to trust his instincts which were " nearly always right ".

This deeply affected Harry who was then informed by Ron that Lupin was back with Tonks, having apparently listened to what Harry had said despite the way he said it. Of all the people who died during the Battle of Hogwarts , Remus's death along with those of his wife Nymphadora Tonks and Fred Weasley , were the ones that hit Harry the hardest.

Remus was one of the spirits that was summoned by the Resurrection Stone to speak to Harry and give him the support he needed as he walked to what he believed was his death, indicating the almost familial bond between Remus and Harry. In his copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , Harry wrote in the werewolf entry that they " aren't all bad ". He and Teddy became very close after the war.

Harry and his family had dinner with Teddy four times a week and Harry's children hoped that Teddy would either be married into the Weasley-Potter family, or Harry would ask Teddy to move in with the Potters. Despite Remus's dislike of all things wolfish due to his condition, his bond with and tendency to look after Harry is somewhat wolf-like, as wolves are communal animals that share the raising of their young. This very much describes how Remus would look after and mentor Harry, as Harry's father was Remus's close friend, and the Marauders were analogous to Remus's "pack.

Harry disliked Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic , Dolores Umbridge, from the moment he first laid eyes on her, which was shortly before she voted in favour of Harry's undeserved expulsion from Hogwarts ; her voice made the hair on the back of his neck stand up, and his hate for her boiled for reasons he could not explain at first.

In the summer of , Umbridge sent two Dementors after Harry and his cousin, Dudley Dursley , in an attempt to silence Harry from contradicting the Ministry of Magic 's official position maintaining that Lord Voldemort had not returned to power. Harry was forced to use a Patronus to defend himself and Dudley from the Dementors, which resulted in Harry being summoned to the Ministry on the charge of using underage magic; if convicted, he would have been expelled from Hogwarts.

Umbridge took part in Harry's prosecution and spoke in favour of his conviction, but Harry was cleared due to Albus Dumbledore 's defence, as well as the impartiality of Amelia Bones and several other members of the Wizengamot.

Though Harry was triumphant in his clearance, Umbridge kept glaring at him after leaving the courtroom, and he felt resentment for her voting his guilt. Harry was outspoken in his outrage at the Ministry's denial of Voldemort's return and their refusal to allow Hogwarts students to practise defensive magic, which Umbridge sadistically responded to by making him carve the words, " I must not tell lies ", into the back of his own hand using a Black Quill.

Umbridge clearly favoured Slytherin students, and presumably those who had ties to the Ministry in particular, as demonstrated by her allowing the Slytherin Quidditch team to re-form before any other, following the passage of Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four , and later giving Harry, Fred and George lifetime bans from playing Quidditch after they attacked Draco Malfoy. Umbridge torturing Harry with the Black Quill during a detention. Umbridge monitored all incoming and outgoing mail, resulting in the injury of Harry's owl, Hedwig , and she made it nearly impossible for Harry, Ron and Hermione to visit Hagrid at his hut.

When Harry publicly recounted witnessing Voldemort's resurrection in an interview with Rita Skeeter , published in The Quibbler , Umbridge banned him from Hogsmeade trips.

One by one, Umbridge was robbing Harry of his reasons to want to stay at Hogwarts. In order to offer students the practical defensive education Umbridge was denying them, Harry formed and led Dumbledore's Army. When they were betrayed to Umbridge by one of their members , Harry was nearly expelled from Hogwarts until Dumbledore convinced Cornelius Fudge that Harry only formed the organisation on his orders.

Dumbledore was forced to leave Hogwarts to avoid being sent to Azkaban , after which Umbridge took the position of Headmistress and the students took to making things as difficult for her as possible. Umbridge slaps Harry in a fit of rage, before threatening to use the Cruciatus Curse on him. Umbridge attempted to have Hagrid arrested after a couple of Nifflers were released in her office, despite his obvious innocence, which resulted in his going on the run and Professor McGonagall being seriously injured and temporarily disabled at St Mungo's Hospital.

With seemingly no adults left for him to turn to, Harry attempted to use Umbridge's fire, the only fire not being monitored by the Ministry, to check on Sirius Black , after having a vision that Sirius was being tortured in the Department of Mysteries.

Remembering that Severus Snape was, in fact, a member of the Order of the Phoenix , Harry gave Snape the cryptic message, " he's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden! When Harry, Hermione, and Umbridge were confronted by a herd of centaurs , Umbridge's angry diatribe — in which she referred to the centaurs as " creatures of near-human intelligence " and " filthy half-breeds " — resulted in her being carried off into the depths of the forest.

Neither Harry nor Hermione helped Umbridge when she tripped on tree roots during their trip into the forest, much less so much as raise a hand to defend her from the centaurs in any way. After the Ministry finally acknowledged Voldemort's return to power, Umbridge was removed from Hogwarts. However, Harry was furious to learn later that year that Umbridge was still working for the Ministry. When Voldemort became the de facto Minister for Magic, with an Imperiused Pius Thicknesse as his puppet, Umbridge, knowingly or not, immediately showed sympathy for his agenda by taking part in the hunt for Harry Potter and branding him " Undesirable Number 1.

When Umbridge taunted a Muggle-born witch by claiming Salazar Slytherin's locket was a family heirloom and proof of her relation to the pure-blood Selwyn family , Harry stunned Umbridge in a fit of anger, as she had hypocritically told a lie. Hermione replaced the locket with a decoy, after which she, Ron, and Harry proceeded to free all the Muggle-borns awaiting interrogation. After the Second Wizarding War, Umbridge was given a life sentence in Azkaban in regards to her crimes against Muggle-borns.

Horace Slughorn , his professor and friend. Harry first met Horace Slughorn in , when he accompanied Albus Dumbledore in attempting to persuade the old Potions Master to come out of retirement.

From the start, Harry was unsure how he felt about Slughorn; though he was clearly not someone with even the slightest inclination toward becoming a Death Eater , he seemed wholly more superficial and self-serving than the likes of people in the Order and most of Harry's other professors. Slughorn had a habit of nurturing and promoting students who would allow him to benefit from his connections to them later on; on the other hand, he seemed to take into account genuine merit as much status within the wizarding community, as he told Harry that his mother, who had no connections at all as a Muggle-born witch, was one of his all time favourite students.

The two did share a common dislike for Dolores Umbridge, and Harry chuckled when Horace regarded her as an "idiotic woman" and that he "never liked her". Though he resisted, Slughorn ultimately could not pass up the opportunity to "collect" Harry, nor could he deny that there was no safer place to be than where ever Dumbledore was. Horace Slughorn resumed his post as Potions Master, and made quick work of inviting several choice students which included Ginny Weasley , when he saw her perform an excellent Bat-Bogey Hex on Zacharias Smith , and later Hermione , the best in her year in addition to Harry, to be a part of his Slug Club.

Harry appeared to actually enjoy Slughorn's teaching style, as it was far less abrasive than Severus Snape's, being more akin to a good-natured chemistry lesson than the gloomy and somewhat pressure-filled lessons that he'd experienced the previous five years. In due course, Harry realised that Dumbledore had not just wanted Slughorn back at Hogwarts because he needed to fill a position.

During one of their private lessons , Dumbledore showed Harry a memory that belonged to Horace Slughorn, in which Slughorn was chatting with a group of Slytherin boys, including a young Tom Riddle. Riddle had apparently gifted Slughorn his favourite Crystallised Pineapple , was being being charming, and generally seemed to be building up to something. Indeed, when the other boys left, Riddle stayed behind, and slowly but surely made his way to his point; he wanted to know what Slughorn knew about Horcruxes.

The room suddenly got hazy, and a voice that belonged to Slughorn but was clearly inorganic reprimanded Riddle for asking such a thing, before the memory abruptly ended.

Horace Slughorn giving Harry the memory that allowed him to defeat Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore told Harry that original version of the modified memory would be of vital importance in understanding exactly what destroying Voldemort would entail, and tasked Harry with retrieving it. Aside from simply being "Harry Potter", Harry had three things that would help him do what even Dumbledore apparently could not: a reputation with Slughorn as an excellent potioneer, courtesy of the Half-Blood Prince , the vial of liquid luck he had won, also courtesy of the Prince, and Slughorn's fondness for Harry's own mother.

A combination of all those things, as well as a healthy dose of mead and the opportunity to collect a few vials of Acromantula venom , allowed Harry to finally collect the memory that confirmed what Dumbledore had suspected Voldemort had done to travel " farther down the path to immortality than anyone else "; created not just one, but several Horcruxes.

Slughorn also fought alongside Harry during the Battle of Hogwarts, getting reinforcements to fight in the battle and even taking on Voldemort directly with the aid of Minerva McGonagall and Kingsley Shacklebolt. This showed that despite initially seeming to view Harry as another talented, famous " crowning jewel " student, he genuinely cared about him on the inside. Lord Voldemort , his mortal enemy. Lord Voldemort, who sought to destroy Harry ever since the boy was an infant, was Harry's most dangerous enemy.

Dumbledore described the relationship between Lord Voldemort and Harry as follows: " You and Lord Voldemort have journeyed together into realms of magic hitherto unknown and untested Voldemort wrapped your destinies together more securely than ever two wizards were joined in history The two wizards had their destines locked together ever since a prophecy foretelling of a child " with the power to Vanquish the Dark Lord " was made and relayed in part to Voldemort, who decided to act, to prevent it from coming to fruition.

Though two infants fit the description of "The Chosen One", Voldemort believed the son of James and Lily Potter posed the greater threat, as he, like Voldemort himself, was a half-blood. To circumvent the prophecy, Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow to murder baby Harry. When Lily refused to move aside and allow Voldemort access to his true target, her loving sacrifice afforded Harry a protection so powerful it caused the Killing Curse Voldemort aimed at Harry to rebound.

Voldemort's body was destroyed and the fragment of soul residing within it was forced to flee and exist in a weak, spectral form. In attempting to murder Harry, Voldemort unintentionally embedded a piece of his soul and some of his own abilities into Harry, as well as effectively marking Harry "as his equal".

It was only after Voldemort attacked Harry that the latter became a Parselmouth , a trait Voldemort inherited from Salazar Slytherin , as well as the ability to see into Voldemort's mind on occasion — both tools that aided Harry in bringing about Lord Voldemort's end.

As it happened, when Voldemort tried to murder Harry in the Forbidden Forest during the Battle of Hogwarts he was unable to because when Voldemort had used Harry's blood to restore his body, he had unwittingly bound Harry's life to his own. As such, the curse only destroyed the Horcrux piece of Voldemort's soul within Harry, while Harry survived.

There are many features that both Voldemort and Harry share: both were only children who were "abandoned" at a very young age, too young to properly remember their parents.

Both had grown up believing untruths about their parents Harry was told that his parents were unemployed drunks who had died in a car accident, while Voldemort was allegedly told that his mother was from a circus.

Lord Voldemort, like Harry, never knew his mother. Although he did meet his father, he only sought him out for revenge and murdered him.

Harry only vaguely remembered both his parents, being too young when they were murdered to remember anything more than vague images and fleeting feelings. However, he had been able to connect with them through objects that once belonged to them such as, his father's Invisibility cloak and the Marauder's Map , his mother's letter, old photographs, and also his parents' friends. He also met their spirits via the Resurrection Stone. In addition, both boys wore second-hand clothes: Harry was given his repulsive cousin Dudley's enormous cast offs and Tom wore tatty hand-me-downs supplied by the orphanage.

Both Riddle and Harry were friendless as children: Harry was kept isolated and denied a normal social life by his aunt and uncle , while Tom expressed his bitterness and loneliness by tormenting the other orphans, frightening them away. Both Harry and Voldemort were Parselmouths: wizards who have the ability to speak to snakes.

This is less coincidental than it might seem, for Voldemort actually transferred this ability to Harry when attacking him. Voldemort was in Slytherin house and the Sorting Hat almost placed Harry into Slytherin, though Harry asked to be placed in some other House, thus, making it so his choices define who he is.

Both boys had followers: Tom gathered a small group of " friends " through fear, intimidation, as well as tenuous promises and then later a whole group calling themselves the Death Eaters. Similarly, many students gravitated to Harry out of loyalty and a shared cause, but also curiosity and an attraction to his fame. The two wizards also had "twin" wands: each wand contained the same phoenix feather wand core , that is later revealed to be from Fawkes , Dumbledore's pet phoenix.

As well, both boys were unaware they were wizards until about the age of eleven, even though each could make unusual things happen. Both Harry and Tom were of great interest to Dumbledore and both felt their first home was Hogwarts. In addition, both achieved greatness in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, however, each for different reasons.

Both Harry and Voldemort were half-bloods, though that only matters to Tom Riddle. Both are also rule breakers: Harry, of course, feels justified when he does things like leaving his dorm after hours, entering the Forbidden Forest , as well as eavesdropping on teachers because he believes it serves a greater purpose. Tom might have engaged in similar activities, but if so, then he did this for darker and self-serving reasons, as well as without benefit of an Invisibility Cloak like Harry: while at school, Tom framed Hagrid for a girl's death, then went on to worse crimes.

However, there are also many features that set Harry and Voldemort apart: during his Sorting , Harry requested not to be placed in Slytherin. It is unlikely Tom Riddle would have made a similar request, even if he was unaware what his ancestry was.

Furthermore, Voldemort never had friends, only followers who feared him or hoped to gain some reward or advantage. Harry made many friends: his dorm-mates, the Weasley family, as well as many teachers: especially Hagrid, Remus Lupin, as well as the real "Mad-Eye" Moody.

They supported Harry because they share a common belief. While both were half-blood, Harry's mother was Muggle-born, whereas Lord Voldemort's father was a Muggle, as well as incidentally, so was Snape's, which is why he called himself the " Half-Blood Prince ".

Most importantly, Harry cared about the people around him, even pitying Draco Malfoy when the boy was ordered by Voldemort to assassinate Dumbledore. Harry had the ability to love and be compassionate, making him more vulnerable to suffering pain, but also capable of experiencing deep friendship and loyalty that helped guide him to greatness.

For Voldemort, love, fidelity, or compassion are unknown and unwelcome concepts. Voldemort would demand loyalty and respect from his Death Eaters , but had little in return.

Voldemort had a tendency to dispose of Death Eaters who either failed him, angered him, or were no longer of use to him. Despite literally sharing the same blood, Voldemort and Harry were also related by blood, however distantly, through their shared descent from the Peverells Voldemort through the Gaunts and Harry through the Potters. This made them distant cousins. It is possible that Harry won the allegiance of Voldemort's wand after the latter's death during their Duel in the Great Hall.

If so, it is highly unlikely Harry will ever use the wand due to his personal history with both the wand itself and its original owner. Voldemort and Harry share some things: The same wand cores and the same family because Harry Potter is related to Tom Riddle, they are related through the Peverell brothers. Despite his long and twisted history with Voldemort, Harry did not allow his grudge against the man to interfere with making sound judgement when thwarting the Dark Lord's daughter Delphini's attempts to upset the timeline to be with her father.

Harry even offered the wayward girl compassion and advice on learning to live as an orphan as he has long since learned to do. This shows that despite all that Voldemort did to Harry, his loved ones, and the world, Harry was, even after so many years, still the better man and mature and compassionate enough to spare his greatest enemy's daughter, as Harry was ruled by love and wisdom, not hatred or power.

Harry was also able to empathise with her due to their shared status as war orphans and outsiders in their youth. Harry likely saw Delphini as the version of her father that he might have been had he been shown love and compassion.

He also might have spared her in one last attempt to prove whether or not Voldemort still controlled his life. Draco Malfoy , his school bully and arch-rival turned ally.

Draco came from a family that believed strongly in the importance of blood purity , thus he considered himself superior to most people. He bullied and insulted Muggle-borns and Gryffindors in particular. He was bitterly jealous of Harry's seemingly effortless heroism.

Despite his strong hatred towards Draco, Harry had restraint towards Draco's taunts. He occasionally had to restrain Ron Weasley and on one occasion, George Weasley from attacking Draco and only resorted to violence if Draco insulted someone he cared about. Their rivalry became dangerous in the — school year , as shown when Draco broke Harry's nose on the Hogwarts Express , and Harry slashing and seriousing injuring Draco with the curse Sectumsempra in the Sixth-floor boys' bathroom.

However, he did genuinely feel remorse for having done the deed, having never intended to wound Draco so mortally. Draco bit off more than he could chew in his ambition to be like his father Lucius Malfoy when he became a Death Eater at a young age.

To punish his father, Voldemort ordered Draco to assassinate Albus Dumbledore , threatening his parents' lives if he failed. Although he let several Death Eaters into Hogwarts in , Draco found himself unwilling to actually go through with murdering Dumbledore, even when given the opportunity to do so. Harry himself recognised Draco's burdens and actually felt sorry for him.

In , when Harry was brought to the Malfoy Manor to be handed over to the Dark Lord, Draco was very reluctant to identify him. During the confrontation that ensued, Harry disarmed him winning both his hawthorn wand and, unknowingly, the Elder Wand.

Because of his family's switching of sides during the Battle of Hogwarts , Draco was not sent to Azkaban for his crimes. By , he was married and had a son.

While Draco and Harry eventually made peace, they were still not friends at this stage. One possible reason for this was to avoid having a similar relationship that Harry's father and his friends had with Snape during their adulthood. It is also unknown if Harry ever gave Draco his original wand back, as Harry won its allegiance and it is never stated how a wand that has been won behaves towards its original master afterwards.

During the ensuing years, Draco managed a cordial relationship with Harry and his family due to Albus Potter being Draco's son, Scorpius's best friend. When Draco's wife died, he valued the positive effect that Albus had in preventing Scorpius from being completely isolated, reaching his son in a way he couldn't. During the crisis with Delphini, Draco confessed much to Harry during these events, including how much he envied Harry's friendship with Ron and Hermione.

And when revealing the details of his wife's death and the effect it had on him and his son, Draco and Harry finally came to see eye-to-eye, and looked upon each other as friends for the first time, having gained a powerful and mutual respect for one another.

Quirinus Quirrell , an enemy and loyal servant to Voldemort. Though not a Death Eater, he encountered Voldemort in the forests of Albania , and was seduced into the Dark Lord's service by promises of wealth and power. Harry found out about Quirrell's true loyalties at the end of his first year , in the seventh of the Philosopher's Stone Chambers. This news also came with the discovery that Voldemort was actually sharing Quirrell's body, and the turban Quirrell wore was, in fact, hiding Voldemort's face on the back of Quirrell's head.

When Quirrell attempted to grab Harry, he found he was unable to do so without experiencing unbearable pain, due to the power of Harry's mother's sacrificial protection. Voldemort detached himself from his servant to escape the pain and fled before Albus Dumbledore 's arrival because Dumbledore could have killed him, leaving Quirrell to die. Over three years after Quirrell's death, Harry made a sarcastic remark about Quirrell's allegiance, and one year after that, he remarked snidely on how Quirrell died on the job, all of these showing Harry's lack of respect for the late professor.

Barty Crouch Jnr , a fanatically loyal Death Eater. At the end of Harry's fourth year, he realised that the man he thought was Alastor Moody was actually Barty Crouch Jnr, disguised by way of Polyjuice Potion. When Dumbledore forced Crouch to drink Veritaserum, he revealed how he had escaped from Azkaban with the help his father and dying mother, and told Dumbledore about how Voldemort had helped him overpower his father, allowing Crouch to later Confund the Goblet of Fire to declare Harry a Triwizard Champion.

Cornelius Fudge arrived at Hogwarts soon after with a Dementor for a bodyguard, and the latter subsequently gave Crouch the Dementor's Kiss. Barty Crouch Jnr's role in the conspiracy behind the Triwizard Tournament was a key factor in Voldemort's return to full strength. Bellatrix Lestrange , a hated enemy. Harry felt contemptuous of Bellatrix Lestrange from the moment he learned of her torturing of Alice and Frank Longbottom , his eyes immediately drawn to her picture wherever he saw it.

Bellatrix in turn hated Harry as much as he hated her. She even volunteered for the task of killing him in Throughout their encounter in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries , Bellatrix goaded Harry with sarcastic baby-talk, mocking him for falling for Lord Voldemort 's ploy and travelling to the Ministry of Magic to save his non-present godfather.

She abandoned the baby-talk, however, becoming incensed when Harry used Voldemort's name — a mark of deep disrespect in Bellatrix's eyes. After Bellatrix murdered Sirius Black , Harry seemed to hate her as much as, if not more than, he did Voldemort. He chased her into the Atrium of the Ministry in a fit of rage, where he tried unsuccessfully to torture her by use of the Cruciatus Curse.

He even had to restrain himself from destroying her wand , which he managed to procure during the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor. Bellatrix would later murder both Nymphadora Tonks and Dobby the house-elf in , also nearly killing Ginny Weasley during the second round of the Battle of Hogwarts. In the latter incident, Harry, who had been hurrying towards Voldemort in the Great Hall , noticed the danger to Ginny's life and made a beeline for Bellatrix instead.

He was beaten to her, however, by Molly Weasley 's abrupt intervention. It is also possible that Harry learned that Bellatrix was the one who killed Tonks after the Battle of Hogwarts, which more than likely increased his hatred of Bellatrix.

Though she spoke disparagingly of the fact that Harry was a half-blood , and vehemently denied Harry's claims that Voldemort was the same, Bellatrix despised Harry mostly out of loyalty to her master, the man with whom she had developed an obsessive infatuation. As such, Bellatrix more or less hated anyone who challenged or threatened Lord Voldemort. Regardless of his feelings, Harry recognised that Bellatrix made a fearsome opponent; while he hated her as his godfather's murderer, he acknowledged that she was also a " witch of prodigious skill and absolutely no conscience ".
