Biography
James was seen going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1, 2017 with his brother Albus, who was just starting his first year. James started at Hogwarts earlier and was sorted into Gryffindor house, though it is not known what year he was in by 2017. Contemporaries at school include his cousins Victoire and Rose, as well as Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, though they are in different years.
James seems to have inherited his other uncles' Fred and George Weasley's sense of humour and love of mischief, as well as his uncle Ron's unfortunate knack for poor timing and tendency to meddle in other people's love lives. When his family was gathered to see him and his brother off at King's Cross Station on September 1, 2017, James interrupted his cousin Victoire snogging Teddy Lupin, and then ran off to tell his other relatives. He was disappointed when they did not react strongly.[5]
At some point, James would also steal the Marauder's Map from his father's desk drawer while he wasn't looking to have fun with it at Hogwarts.[6]
Personality
James is much like his uncle Ron for his poor timing and knack for interfering with love life. He also seems to have inherited his sense of humour from another of his uncles, George, having a fondness for teasing his siblings and making mischief. At King's Cross in 2017, he saw Teddy kissing Victoire after seeing her off and ran to tell his parents and uncle and aunt. He is also very much like his two namesakes, James Potter I and Sirius Black.
Relationships
Parents
James has a strong connection with both of his parents, even though he does not want to show it in front of other people, especially girls and friends. Still, he permitted his parents hugs before rushing off to the Hogwarts Express in 2017, and wrote to them three times a week the previous year.
Siblings
James is the oldest of three children, and he enjoys teasing his younger siblings Albus and Lily. However, he is on good terms with both of them, even willing to share a room with them if Teddy ever decides to move in.
Teddy Lupin
When James saw Teddy kissing Victoire, he ran to tell his family, but he was disappointed with their reaction. However, he agreed with his younger sister, who shared his and Albus's desire for Teddy to become an official member of the extended Potter-Weasley family.

Notes and references
- ↑ James's age is not revealed in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows, but J.K. Rowling stated in an interview that his mother, Ginny Weasley, spent a "few years" playing for the Holyhead Harpies, and then "retired to have her family". As Ginny graduated from Hogwarts in 1999, and a "few years" implies at least three years, the earliest she could have retired to have James is 2002. He is at least a year older than his younger brother Albus, who was born between late 2005 and mid-2006.
