Get the Harry Pottermug. Harry Potter is a Half-Blood wizard. He is known to be 'The Chosen One', to defeat his nemesis, Lord Voldemort, by the entire wizarding world. He is best friends with Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry is described to look extraordinarily like his father, James Potter, but has his mother's eyes, Lily Potter, which are green in colour. Harry Potter is portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe in the movies, and does an amazing job of it.
