The Potter memorial is a statue at the centre of the village square in Godric's Hollow. From a distance, it appears as an obelisk, carved with the names of people who died in a war (presumably Muggle casualties of World War I or II). While Muggles can see only this obelisk, a witch or wizard can see that the memorial changes into a statue of a family when he or she approaches: James and Lily Potter, and their infant son, Harry, who looks contented in his mother's arms. James and Lily were murdered by Voldemort in their cottage at Godric's Hollow, on October 31, 1981.
