James Potter

James Potter is a canon character in the Harry Potter books. James was a Pure-blood wizard and the only son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1971-1978 and was sorted in the Gryffindor House along with his best friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and future wife, Lily Evans.

During his school time, James played Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. James became Captain in his fifth year and continued to be Captain until he graduated.

James comes from a very rich Pure-blood family that goes back centuries. Since James was the only child of Fleamont, he inherited the Potter's wealth and the invisibility cloak.

Like his friends, James was an Animagi and could transform into a stag.

Physical Description
James was described to be very handsome. He had tousled black hair, hazel eyes, a strong jaw, and wore black spectacles. Because of Quidditch, James was described as broad-shouldered and muscular.
