James Potter, also known as Prongs, was a pure-blood wizard and the only son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter. He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and was sorted into Gryffindor House. When James started at Hogwarts, he met and befriended fellow Gryffindor students: Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. He also met Severus Snape, a Slytherin student whom he frequently antagonised. During his seventh year, James was appointed Head Boy and began dating Lily Evans.

After Hogwarts, he married Lily and together they had a son, Harry James Potter, of whom he made Sirius Black the godfather. James, Lily, and their friends all fought in the First Wizarding War as members of the Order of the Phoenix; he and his wife defied Lord Voldemort three times. However, James and Lily were forced to go into hiding after a prophecy was made concerning Voldemort and their infant son. James and Lily were betrayed to Voldemort by one of their close friends (Peter Pettigrew). James was murdered by Voldemort on Hallowe'en, along with his wife, while they were trying to protect their son.

James briefly appeared through the Ressurection Stone, along with his wife, Lily and friends Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. After the Second Wizarding War, James had three grandchildren through his son, Harry: James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter and Lily Luna Potter, the first of whom was named after him.

TRIVIA: Okay, so I know alot of people think that James was a jerk. However, I have always loved him for his good points (loyalty, love, duty...) regardless of his bad qualities.
What do you guys think of James Potter l? Is he worth being praised for sacrificing himself to protect his family? Or should he be condemned for the jerk he was in his youth? State your views in the comments below!
