Physical Description: James is a half-Indian boy, standing at about 4'10. He has black curly hair that he prefers to keep natural (curly, wild, and unkempt), and brown eyes behind large, round glasses. His nose is small and button-ish, and he has a rather round face. When not in his Hogwarts Uniform, he wears his dad's old band shirts and shorts, or a jumper and jeans.

Mental Description: James has a bright, explosive personality, always quick with a joke or a comeback. He's rather loud, not knowing his own volume, but tries his best to reel it in sometimes. James also has a mischievous side, playing pranks and attempting to jinx other first years with incredibly little success. However, he's very loyal, not afraid to get in trouble to stand for what's right.

Biography: James was born to Imaara and Harold Flynn, two wizards of reasonably old money. Therefore, James had access to everything he wanted: toys, money, etcetera… with several reminders this did not make him better than anyone. His parents made sure to have James share what toys and money he had with those less fortunate when he had the chance to. Though he didn't quite understand as a kid, he tries his best now to keep his parents' lessons at heart. James had been down for Hogwarts since birth, so it was no surprise to anyone when a tawny barn owl swooped in through the open window to land in front of James at the dining room table, just after his eleventh birthday. He's excited to make new friends and be out from under his parents' loving but watchful eye.

First Instance of Magic: When James was 3, he was fascinated with his animal toys, especially with a small, wooden toy elephant. When playing with the elephant, he squealed in delight as the toy wobbled across the floor by itself, clapping in excitement.
