James Potter

Appearance

- Height and Build: Tall, slender, with an athletic build, emphasizing his Quidditch training. He maintained a straight posture, radiating confidence. - Hair: Thick, black, perpetually disheveled. He often adjusted it with his hand, especially when he was nervous or concentrating. - Eyes: Brown, lively, with a mischievous sparkle. He wore round glasses with a thin frame. - Clothing: He preferred an informal style—shirts with open collars, jumpers, and his Gryffindor cloak, often thrown on carelessly. He liked bright accessories, such as scarves in red and gold tones.

Character and personality

- Leader and instigator: The life and soul of the party, he generated ideas for pranks. Sirius was his "right-hand man," but the final word always rested with James. - Self-confidence and audacity: Often bordered on arrogance, especially in his early years. He loved being the center of attention, but as he aged, he learned to curb his ego for the sake of his friends and Lily. - Loyalty: Ready to do anything for loved ones. Became an Animagus (a moose) to support Remus during his transformations. Risked his reputation and freedom for the sake of friendship. - Sense of justice: He hated meanness and betrayal. He couldn't stand it when the weak were bullied, although he himself sometimes went too far in conflicts with Snape.

Habits and characteristics

- Pranks and magic: Constantly experimented with spells (e.g., Leviosa). Carried around "Pimple Potion" for minor mischief. - Quidditch: He even practiced in his free time, twirling the Snitch in his fingers during lunch. After victories, he threw noisy parties in the Gryffindor common room. - Animagus: Secretly transformed into a stag to relieve boredom or help Remus. Sometimes used the form for eavesdropping. - The Marauder's Map: Spent hours adding to it with Sirius, Remus, and Peter. Loved signing it as "Prongs."

Typical phrases and expressions

- "To the task, Marauders!" — before the start of the adventure. - "Hey, Snape! A new mask for your greasy nose?" — taunts directed at Snape. - "Relax, I've thought it all through!" — a phrase often heard before disastrous ideas. - "Remus, you're too quiet today. Let's shake up the castle!" — an attempt to cheer up a friend. - "Lily, I've changed... Well, almost!" — in an attempt to win her heart.

Likes and dislikes

- Loved: - Adrenaline (broomstick chases, nighttime escapades). - Sweets (especially licorice sticks and chocolate frogs). - The music of Muggle rock bands that Sirius brought him. - Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts are his strong subjects. - Hated: - Snape (because of his interest in dark magic and his affection for Lily). - Injustice (e.g., the bullying of Remus due to his lycanthropy). - I always looked for ways to alleviate boredom.

Relationships with others

- Sirius Black: Brothers in spirit. Their friendship was built on mutual trust and crazy ideas. James was the only one to whom Sirius revealed his family secrets. - Remus Lupin: Treated him with respect, seeing him as a voice of reason. Often defended Remus from ridicule. - Peter Pettigrew: Condescendingly protective, considering himself the "junior" member of the group. Peter admired James, a fact that later proved fatal. - Lily Evans: Initially annoyed by his boasting, but later he showed maturity. Their relationship began in their seventh year, when James stopped bullying the weak. - Severus Snape: Open conflict. James couldn't forgive Snape's interest in the Dark Arts and his humiliation of Remus.
