Matthew Potter

Early Years (1984-?)
Matthew Nicholas Potter, known more commonly as Matt or Mattie, was born as the third and last of the triplets in the early morning of December 26th, 1984, to James and Lily Potter, joining his four older siblings, Harry James Potter (born July 1980), Sarah Emmeline Potter (born February 1984), Anne Marie Potter (born December 1984) and Andrew Ryan Potter (born December 1984).

He is sometimes known as Madhavan, which, like his brother Harry's name, is a name of the god responsible for protection and preservation of all of creation.

He and Drew are often confused for identical twins, as they look exactly alike, much to Anne's consternation.

He was brought home to Fairview Manor in early January of 1985 and will live there until September of 1996, when he accompanies his siblings Harry, Sarah, Anne and Drew to Hogwarts for the first time.

As a child, Matt was often entranced by Christmas lights, and took great joy in untangling the cords, often getting rolled up like a burrito in an attempt to free one particular light.
