Biography

30248pd

James Potter II at King's Cross, with his owl.

James was seen going to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1st, 2017 with his brother Albus, who was just starting his first year. James started at Hogwarts earlier. Contemporaries at school include his cousins Victoire and Rose, as well as Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, though they are in different years.

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 was not 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 and love for mischief from two of his uncles, Fred and George, and having a fondness for teasing his siblings and making mischief. He is also very much like his two namesakes, James Potter and Sirius Black, in his mischievous and trouble-making nature.

Relationships

Parents

Harrybonnie

James's parents, Harry and Ginny Potter.

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 at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Siblings

James is the oldest of three children, and he enjoys teasing his younger siblings Albus and Lily.

Jameslilys

James with his sister, Lily.

However, he is on good terms with both of them, even willing to share a room with Albus if Teddy ever decides to move in, although Harry seems to believe this would lead to disaster.

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

  1. James' 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.
