Harlem Carroll



D.O.B: Nov 7

Age: 18

Blood Status: half and half

Country of origin: United States

Grade Level: Freshmen

Patronous: snapping turtle

Wand: 13in mahogany dragon scales core

Former School: New York Academy of Magical Arts

Room: wants a single because he is a lil OCD about cleanliness, but will take a roommate which he will drive crazy with his constant cleaning

Major: Wizarding Law and International relations

Appearance: Harlem is 6 feet tall with a wiry, muscular build. His arms and legs are thin but rippled with muscles. He takes pride in his appearance and works hard to maintain it. His nails are cut short and keep impeccably clean. Harlem's hair is cut short to his head thought you will never see it because he wears a fitted muggle cap all the time. He has light brown eyes almost hazel and long eyelashes that sweep his cheeks as he blinks.

Family History: Harlem's father, Kazem was the Kuwaiti ambassador to the United States and his mother, Belinda, was a judge on the United States Ministry Wizengamot. His parents met by chance when Belinda complained to the waitress at Tavern on the Green that Kazem had come in after her but was seated before she was. His father offered to share the table with her and the two spent almost 3 hours at lunch. They dated for a few months splitting their time between Kuwait and New York.

They were married 2 years later. And a year after that Harlem was born. He is an only child as his mother had a terrible miscarriage. Harlem was an easy child becoming independent and refusing to be carried as soon as his little legs could walk. His mother finally came clean about her magical heritage, and his father took it as a shock. His deeply religious beliefs wouldn't allow him to believe in witchcraft. He abandoned the family and Harlem and his mom were on their own.

His mother filled the home with happy memories for Harlem, and he never missed his father or having siblings as he went to a magical daycare. They weren't rich, but the family was middle class so they were able to take vacations every summer. Along the way Harlem learned French and Arabic. He had everything he ever wanted or asked for and was spoiled rotten and raised with a arrogant attitude about who he was. His mom didn't expose him to the muggle world, other than the fashion, out of anger at her husband for leaving them and once Harlem found out about the absence of his father he agreed with his mother. He was a wizard.

His mother was promoted to the Undersecetary for the U.S. Minister of Magic when he turned 13. And the family moved from Manhattan to D.C. At the age of 16 he learned that his father had died in a car bombing in the Gaza Strip. Going to the funeral because his mother needed the moral support he learned of his half sister Fatima. She was just 15 at the time. Harlem resented her for growing up with the love of his father and for a while he refused to speak to her though she tried and tried to form a relationship with him. To this day he keeps returning her letters.


Personality: Harlem is a quite person with a very arrogant flare. He thinks he knows everything and never misses a chance to show off his smarts. He has a bad habit of talking down to people thinking all people are stupid. He has a sarcastic sense of humor that sometimes can get him into trouble but he can usual charm his way out of it. He is very active his favorite sport being gobstones. Its a game of intelligence and strategy. He has a fear of flying and has avoided the class and Quidditch all together. He's a tough guy to know liking to keep to himself but once he opens up he is a total sweet heart.

Harlem still has father issues and as a result doesn't follow the authority of his male teachers very well.
