"He loved us. He loved Hogwarts. I just hope he's okay..."
—Your character, about their brother, to Garrick Olivander. (Determinant)[src]

Main Character, also known as You, is the playable main protagonist of Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery developed by Jam City, whose name, gender, appearance, and house is chosen by the player.

This student was a witch or wizard who attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry between 1984 and 1991. Their brother Jacob's expulsion from Hogwarts for endangering fellow students in his quest to find the Cursed Vaults had an impact on his younger sibling's first year at Hogwarts when many other students whispered about them for their elder sibling's breaking of school rules which had disgraced Hogwarts.

The incident was well-covered in the Daily Prophet, as was Jacob's running away from home, which had a profound effect on the younger sibling.

Throughout their seven years at Hogwarts, they successfully broke into every one of the five Cursed Vaults, showing immense bravery, intelligence, dedication, and resourcefulness. They maintained friendships with lots of schoolmates and went through exciting adventures together, rescuing Jacob from the Buried Vault and breaking the ancient statue curse in the Sunken Vault.
