Lee Jordan is described by Joan Rowling as a black boy with black hair braided in dreadlocks. To all the spectators of “Potteriana,” this character is familiar as a mischievous and witty commentator on sports matches. However, book readers can more broadly appreciate his humor from numerous jokes and tricks.
Who is Lee Jordan
A student at Gryffindor, Harry’s friend and ally, as well as a regular commentator on all Quidditch matches, Lee is one of the epic’s most notable and charismatic heroes.
A few years older than Harry, Lee Jordan became the best friend of the unique Weasley twins. He jokes with them and plays out schoolchildren, plans cunning operations against Filch and actively participates in many secondary events (scenes in the large hall, in the Gryffindor’s drawing room, in the library). In one of the books, the twins mention that they need to hurry because Lee discovered a new way to leave the castle unnoticed. Is the Li family supposedly composed of wizards, otherwise how could he bring a huge spider to platform 9 and after one of the summer holidays?
In addition, the books repeatedly mention the contribution that Lee Jordan made to the development of the twin business. Harry Potter and his friends admire and even sometimes use "All kinds of magical wreckers" for their own purposes. For example, during the opposition to the tyranny of Umbridge, as well as for a raid on her office. By the way, it was Lee Jordan who launched the nuhler into Dolores's room, which brought her to a white heat.
Charming Commentator
Probably, every viewer of the first film about the “boy who survived” remembered Lee’s ridiculous and far from biased comments at the match. His preferences were clearly expressed by the numerous attacks on the Slytherin players, expressed in a playful way. That is why at all the games next to him sat the head of the Gryffindor faculty - Professor McGonagall. Constantly making remarks to him, jerking and even threatening, she, nevertheless, appointed him commentator again and again.
The most ridiculous were the statements about Angelina Johnson, whom Lee Jordan clearly sympathized with. The character's quotes are saturated with light humor and sharp phrases that become an integral part of the atmosphere of the magical world.
Common Activities of Lee Jordan and Harry Potter
Taking the side of Harry Potter, Lee takes an active part in secret training in defense against the dark arts, as well as in the activities of the Dumbledore Squad. He also bravely and audaciously refuses to obey Umbridge.
After leaving school, he organizes radio broadcasts on the secret wave of Potter's Watch, taking the pseudonym Bruno. Harry and his friends listen to his programs during their wanderings after leaving school.
Lee Jordan also fights the Battle of Hogwarts. Together with George, he won the fight with the death eater Yaxley.
There is no mention of Li's fate after the end of the battle, but there is speculation that he continued his career as a commentator.
