The Core Potter Line
The modern Potter family tree centers on James Potter, Lily Evans Potter, and their son Harry. James comes from an old wizarding family, while Lily is Muggle-born, making Harry's blood status half-blood.
Harry's Parents
James and Lily are important because their relationship brings together old wizarding ancestry and Muggle-born magic. Their sacrifice becomes the emotional and magical foundation of Harry's story.
Grandparents and Earlier Potters
Fleamont and Euphemia Potter are Harry's paternal grandparents in the commonly referenced Potter genealogy. Earlier ancestors connect the Potters to the Peverell legacy, which explains the Cloak of Invisibility.
The Weasley Connection
Harry marries Ginny Weasley, linking the Potter and Weasley families. Their children, James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna, continue the Potter line while carrying names that honor several major relationships in Harry's life.
Sirius Black's Role
Sirius Black is not Harry's blood parent, but he is Harry's godfather and one of the most important chosen-family figures in the series. That bond is why the Potter and Black pages are often explored together.
