Henry Potter

"Henry caused a minor stir when he publicly condemned then Minister for Magic, Archer Evermonde, who had forbidden the magical community to help Muggles waging the First World War. His outspokenness on the behalf of the Muggle community was also a strong contributing factor in the family’s exclusion from the ‘Sacred Twenty-Eight’."

- Description

Henry Potter (known as Harry to his intimates; fl.1913-1921) was a wizard and direct descendant of Hardwin and Iolanthe Potter. His mother was a member of the Fleamont family, whose dying wish was that his son's first name be her maiden name so that it would not die with her.

Like Ralston Potter before him, he served as a member of the Wizengamot, for eight years, causing a stir when he publicly condemned then-Minister for Magic Archer Evermonde's forbidding the magical community from helping Muggles during the First World War. His support for Muggles was a strong contributing factor in the Potters' exclusion from the Sacred Twenty-Eight, believed to have been compiled by Cantankerus Nott. He passed on the Cloak of Invisibility to Fleamont.
