Henry Potter

Henry "Harry" Potter was a wizard who served on the Wizengamot from 1913 to 1921. He was the father of Fleamont Potter, the paternal grandfather of James Potter, the great-grandfather of the famous Harry Potter, and the great-great-grandfather of James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna Potter.[5]

Biography

Henry was born somewhere in England in or prior to the 1890s. He was a direct descendant of Hardwin and Iolanthe Potter on his father's side. His mother was a member of the Fleamont family. It was her dying wish that Henry preserve her maiden name, which would otherwise die with her, and thus he named his son Fleamont.[5]

Henry served as a member of the Wizengamot from 1913 to 1921. He caused a minor controversy by publicly condemning the then-Minister for Magic Archer Evermonde's decision to forbid the wizarding community from aiding Muggles during the First World War. Henry's outspoken pro-Muggle views were one of the chief reasons for the Potter family's exclusion from the Sacred Twenty-Eight.[5]

Much later, in 1960, Henry became a grandfather, with the birth of James Potter, son of Fleamont, with whom he is presumed to have been close enough for James to name his son after him, Harry Potter. Unfortunately, Henry would not live long enough to meet the latter.
