Harry Potter First Year Descriptions

He looked even smaller and skinnier than he really was because all he had to wear were old clothes of []'s, and [] was about four times bigger than he was. ______ had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair, and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of Scotch tape because of all the times [] had punched him on the nose. The only thing ____ liked about his own appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead that was shaped like a bolt of lightning.

She had bossy sort of voice, with lots of bushy brown hair and rather large front teeth

He was tall, thin, and gangling, with freckles, big hands and feet, and a long nose.

In the back of the shop, a boy with a pale, pointed face was standing on a footstool while a second witch pinned up his long black robes.

He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache

_______ was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning out of windows, spying on the neighbours

Instead, he was smiling at a rather severe-looking woman who was wearing square glasses the exact shape of the marking the cat had around its eyes. She, too, was wearing a cloak, an emerald one. Her black hair was drawn into a tight bun

He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice.

He was almost twice as tall as a normal man and at least five times as wide. He looked simply too big to be allowed, and so wild—long tangles of bushy black hair and beard hid most of his face, he had hands the size of trash can lids, and his feet in their leather boots were like baby dolphins.

____ looked a lot like [].He had a large pink face, not much neck, small, watery blue eyes, and thick blond hair that lay smoothly on his thick, fat head.[] often said that _____ looked like a baby angel—[] often said that ______ looked like a pig in a wig.

A pale young man made his way forward, very nervously. One of his eyes was twitching

An old man was standing before them, his wide, pale eyes shining like moons through the gloom of the shop.

The speaker was a plump woman who was talking to four boys, all with flaming red hair.

[] passed a round-faced boy who was saying, ‘Gran, I’ve lost my toad again.’

[] reached inside his jacket and pulled out a fat grey rat, which was asleep. ‘His name’s _____ and he’s useless, he hardly ever wakes up.’

Professor [], in his absurd turban, was talking to a teacher with greasy black hair, a hooked nose, and sallow skin.

Professor ______, the Charms teacher, was a tiny little wizard who had to stand on a pile of books to see over his desk. At the start of their first class he took the roll call, and when he reached []’s name he gave an excited squeak and toppled out of sight

But ____ turned out to be a person, a burly fifth-year boy who came out of []’s class looking confused.

They were looking straight into the eyes of a monstrous dog, a dog that filled the whole space between ceiling and floor. It had three heads. Three pairs of rolling, mad eyes; three noses, twitching and quivering in their direction; three drooling mouths, saliva hanging in slippery ropes from yellowish fangs.

She was a very pretty woman. She had dark red hair and her eyes—her eyes are just like mine, [] thought, edging a little closer to the glass. Bright green—exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time.

The tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. He wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. It stuck up at the back, just as []’s did.

[] would have screamed, but he couldn’t make a sound. Where there should have been a back to []’s head, there was a face, the most terrible face [] had ever seen. It was chalk white with glaring red eyes and slits for nostrils, like a snake.
