Physical Description: Henry has a relatively normal build; tall, at around 5'0, but otherwise average weight. He notably has sectoral heterochromia, both eyes green but the right half amber. This is complemented by his chocolate brown skin, dotted with moles and freckles. Sometimes he is told his ears stick out a bit, though Henry himself thinks otherwise. His hair is a very dark brown, curled, and short. Henry has a normal sense of style, at least for a wizard; though he takes a liking to thick sweaters and brown jackets particularly; in fact, in general he dresses in natural shades. When dressing formally, he likes to wear silver necklaces, his favorite adorning the Deathly Hollows symbol.

Mental Description: Henry is a bit of a daredevil, even claiming so himself. He can be very silly, and his parents have said he is fun to be around. He is far from unintelligent, but can be very unwise about doing stunts, tricks or showing off. Henry actually excels in reading and writing. He is good-hearted, truly caring about those close to him at the end of the day. He is also mildly insecure about his wiseness. In spite of being generally kind, he has a hot temper, easily going too far over miniscule things. However, Henry has a much calmer side to him, especially in the presence of nature. Henry loves working with magical creatures especially; though maybe this is because of his parents' career paths. He also doesn't mind plants and worked with his mother in gardening whenever he had the time, when he wasn't busy with his father. Henry has also been described by his parents to completely change in the presence of flora and fauna. He has aspirations to become somebody that works with magical animals; though is unsure of what exact career path he wants to take.

Biography: For about half a year after his birth, Henry lived in the U.S, specifically New York. Soon afterwards, for reasons Henry is not aware of himself, he moved to England, becoming a citizen along with his family. Henry lives in a mix of the country and suburbs in England; his neighbors were close by, allowing him to make a fair share of friends, and they were mostly homeschooled like Henry. He was sometimes considered an oddball since he wasn't overly athletic but generally had a good social life. Henry lives in an average sized cottage, comfortable and homey even to those non-familiar with the family. They have a large backyard, assisting in his mother's activities. His mother enjoys working with plants, classifying herself as a magical farmer due to the types of produce she works with. She is technically not employed, being a housewife, but she makes a small amount of money, enough for Henry to consider her to have a job. His father works at the ministry, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Henry has not been told what his father specifically does at the ministry, but he does know whatever it is involves bringing creatures home to work with. In fact, due to this, they had a shed in the backyard with supplies to work with said creatures that was later destroyed by one of them. Henry also has an older sister, though only by two years. Once she got back from her second term of Hogwarts, she tried to play Quidditch with Henry using their parent's broomsticks. This went wrong, considering that Henry couldn't ride a broom properly, and their parents caught them in the act. On the topic of magic, since he was wizard-born, he was commonly and causally exposed to it, though his parents insisted he didn't let this slip around his muggle friends.

First Instance of Magic: Henry's parents were proud to see that when he was nearing his 6th birthday, on a fine autumn morning, he had suddenly created a charm which had made his favorite stuffed animal, a spotted brown dog, about 5x larger than it normally was, making it about a foot bigger than Henry himself was. Henry was delighted at this himself, and his parents were as well. Later, they begrudgingly allowed him to keep the stuffed animal about the size of himself. Due to his age and previous exposure to casual magic, Henry didn't at first realize that this was his first instance of magic, meaning he was a wizard.
