- "Your mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves."
- —Description of Lily's nature[src]
Lily J.[8] Potter (née Evans) (30 January[1], 1960 – 31 October, 1981) was a Muggle-born[9] witch, the younger daughter of Mr and Mrs Evans, and the younger sister of Petunia Evans. She learned that she was a witch as a child, after Severus Snape (a wizard boy who lived nearby) recognised her as such and told her of the existence of magic. Lily attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1971-1978. She was Sorted into Gryffindor House and was a member of the Slug Club. In her seventh year Lily was made Head Girl and began dating James Potter.
After Hogwarts she married James and they had a son, Harry James Potter, of whom she made Sirius Black the godfather. The couple, along with their friends Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew joined the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War; she and her husband defied Lord Voldemort himself three times. However, Lily and James were forced to go into hiding after a prophecy was made concerning Lord Voldemort and their infant son. She and James were betrayed by Pettigrew, and thus both were murdered by Voldemort on Hallowe'en night in 1981, while trying to protect their son.
Lily briefly appeared again through the Resurrection Stone in May 1998. She appeared along with James (her husband), Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin. After the end of the Second Wizarding War Lily had three grandchildren through her son: James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Luna Potter, the last of whom was named in memory of her.
Early life (1960-1971)
- Lily: "I'm not a freak. That's a horrible thing to say."
- Petunia Evans: "That's where you're going. A special school for freaks. "
- — The sisters argue before Lily departs for Hogwarts[src]
Lily was born to Mr and Mrs Evans, two Muggles of the Evans family, on 30 January, 1960. She had an older sister named Petunia, and the family lived in Cokeworth,[10] England. At the age of nine, Lily became friends with Severus Snape, who lived down in Spinner's End, which was within walking distance of the Evans' house. However, they were apparently better off, since Petunia sneered at Snape for coming from that poverty-stricken neighbourhood.
Severus was the first person to tell Lily that she was a witch, and he went on to teach Lily a great deal about the wizarding world while the two eagerly awaited the time when they could attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry together. Originally, Petunia and Lily were quite close, but her magical abilities and her friendship with Severus caused problems between the sisters. Envying her sister's abilities Petunia wrote to Dumbledore, asking if she could attend Hogwarts with Lily.
Lily bought her wand from Ollivanders in Diagon Alley at the age of eleven. The wand was 10¼ inches, willow, "swishy", and according to Garrick Ollivander, good for charm work.
Hogwarts years (1971-1978)
- Severus Snape: "I never meant to call you Mudblood, it just —"
- Lily: "Slipped out? It's too late. I've made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends... You've chosen your way, I've chosen mine."
- — The end of Lily's friendship with Severus Snape[src]
At the age of eleven, she started attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was Sorted into Gryffindor house. She became quite skilled at Potions, attracting the attention of Professor Horace Slughorn, who made her a member of his Slug Club.
In her fifth year, Lily stood up for her then best friend — Severus Snape — when he was being bullied by James Potter, whom she considered to be an "arrogant bullying toerag". She had addressed James by his surname — James himself having called Lily by hers — and attempted to stop his bullying. Snape lashed out at her in his humiliation, calling her a "filthy Mudblood."[11] Severus begged for Lily's forgiveness and she, in turn, asked him if he still intended to join the Death Eaters. When he did not deny this, Lily realised that Snape did not understand what was wrong with the Death Eaters.
This led to a parting of ways between Lily and Snape, as the former had already become dismayed by Snape's fascination with the Dark Arts, and his friendship with his Slytherin house-mates Mulciber and Avery, both of whom were aspiring Death Eaters. Harry would later witness the scene of his father's bullying and his mother's ambiguous intervention twice via a pensieve, as well as other scenes depicting his mother's friendship with Snape.[12]
By Lily's fifth year, James was repeatedly asking her out, but she refused him, calling him an "arrogant toerag" because he bullied other students, particularly Severus Snape. James's best friend Sirius Black later commented that James could not resist showing off and making a fool of himself whenever she was around. Lily did not, however, hate James. While she did not approve of his bullying, she did admire how James stood up for his friends and other people who were cruelly treated by Snape's aspiring-Death Eater friends.[11]
During their seventh year, James matured somewhat, proving himself to be responsible and brave. However, it is implied that James still had the desire to bully Snape, but was willing to stop actually doing it for the sake of Lily. This led to her agreeing to go out with him; and Lily's attraction to him grew into genuine affection and eventually love. The young couple were chosen to be Head Boy and Head Girl.[13]
In late 1977, Lily and James had a disastrous first meeting with Petunia and her then-fiancé, Vernon Dursley,[10] which presumably took place over Christmas break, as they were both still at Hogwarts. When Vernon tried to impress James with his car, the wizard in turn boasted of his own material wealth, and a row ensued.[10] The evening ended with both Vernon and Petunia storming out of the restaurant and Lily bursting into tears, with James promising he'd apologise and make it up (which, due to his and Lily's untimely deaths, never happened).[10] Petunia was married by the end of 1977. Though Lily and James were invited to the wedding, Petunia refused to have Lily as a bridesmaid, upsetting her deeply.[10] At the reception, Vernon would not talk to James, but described him as "some magician" within his earshot.[10]
First Wizarding War (1978-1981)
Marriage and the Order
Sometime after graduating from Hogwarts in 1978, Lily and James married, the wedding took place sometime between the summer of 1978 and the autumn of 1979, with Sirius Black serving as James' best man.[14] Petunia and Vernon refused to attend the wedding.[10] Lily had little contact with her sister from that point.
Living off James' family fortune, the Potters became full-time members of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation dedicated to fighting Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters, along with their friends Sirius, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.[15] During the war, they defied Voldemort on at least three occasions, the first being when they refused to join his cause when he tried to recruit them.[16]
Life in hiding and death
- Lily: "Not Harry, please no, take me, kill me instead —"
- Lord Voldemort: "This is my last warning —"
- Lily: "Not Harry! Please... have mercy... have mercy... Not Harry! Not Harry! Please — I'll do anything..."
- — Lily stands between Lord Voldemort and her son[src]
Lily became pregnant in the autumn of 1979. Around the same time,[17] Sybill Trelawney made a prophecy in front of Albus Dumbledore, predicting that "the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches" and would be "born to those who have thrice defied him".[11] The first part of the prophecy was overheard by Lily's ex-friend, Snape, who had since become a Death Eater.[18] He loyally reported what he had heard to his master, and was horrified when Voldemort came to believe that Lily's son was the subject of the prophecy.[18][19] It was the threat to Lily that led Snape to change sides, warning Dumbledore of the Dark Lord's plans, and vowing to do anything to keep the woman he still loved safe. It was Snape's continuing devotion to Lily, that made Dumbledore certain of his double agent's true loyalties.
The Potters went into hiding while Lily was still pregnant.[15] Their son, Harry James Potter, was born on 31 July, 1980. Due to the danger they were in, Lily and James chose to keep Harry's christening a "very hurried, quiet affair" with Sirius Black as the only guest.[20][21] The couple also chose Sirius to be Harry's godfather.[14] Lily sent a birth announcement to Petunia; it was to be the last piece of information she ever sent her sister,[10] though Petunia would later send Lily a vase for that Christmas.
In a letter to Sirius dated around Harry's first birthday in July 1981, Lily mentioned that the family had a pet cat, and relayed a story about Harry flying on the toy broomstick Sirius had given him as a birthday present.[12] The Fidelius Charm was placed on their home in Godric's Hollow. Their Secret-Keeper, Peter Pettigrew, was chosen as a less-likely target for the Death Eaters than Sirius Black, but he betrayed the Potters by telling Voldemort of their whereabouts barely a week later.[22]
On 31 October, 1981 Voldemort entered their home. James told Lily to take Harry and leave while he held him off. James, however, was murdered before Lily and Harry could escape the cottage. Trapping mother and son in Harry's nursery, Voldemort, honouring Snape's request to spare her life, offered Lily a chance to step aside. She steadfastly refused to stop shielding her son, and Voldemort murdered her.
Because Lily's death was a pure loving sacrifice (she intended to die, and was not hoping to save herself) Harry was marked with the protection of her love. Voldemort's Killing Curse rebounded off the one-year old. The rebounded curse destroyed the Dark Lord's body and temporarily defeating him. Harry was left unscathed, except for a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead. Thus, Harry became known as the "Boy Who Lived" and his fate was sealed. If not for Snape's love for Lily, which led to him to beg Voldemort for Lily's life, her death would not have been a willing sacrifice, and there would have been no Boy Who Lived.[12]
- "Less substantial than living bodies, but much more than ghosts, they moved toward him. And on each face, there was the same loving smile... Lily's smile was widest of all. She pushed her long hair back as she drew closer to him, and her green eyes, so like his, searched his face hungrily, as though she would never be able to look at him enough."
- —Lily getting a glimpse of Harry through the Resurrection Stone[src]
After Lily and James were murdered Petunia (Lily's sister), was the one to arrange the funeral, as James had no family left. Afterward she grudgingly cared for her sister's only child. However, his mother's death would not be the last Harry would see of her. During his first year at Hogwarts he happened to stumble upon the Mirror of Erised. In this mirror he saw his parents for the first time, along with his grandparents and other ancestors. Also at the end of Harry's first year, Hagrid gave him a photo album filled with pictures of his family and of himself as an infant. In his third year whenever he encountered a Dementor he was forced to relive his parents' deaths, particularity Lily's.
In Harry's fourth year, while duelling with Voldemort in the Little Hangleton graveyard, they experienced Priori Incantatem, and shades of his mother and father and others whom Voldemort had murdered, came out of Voldemort's wand to help Harry in his escape from the graveyard. In Harry's fifth year, he entered Severus Snape's memory of being bullied by James and Sirius Black via the use of Pensieve and saw his mother standing up for Snape. In 1998, he relived that same memory of Snape's, as well as many others containing his mother, in the Pensieve after Snape's death. The memories revealed that she and Snape had been best friends since their childhood and it also brought to light Snape's unrequited and continuing love for Lily, years after her death.
Finally, during the Battle of Hogwarts, when Harry believed himself to be walking to his own death, he used the Resurrection Stone to bring back the spirits of Lily, James Potter, Sirius Black,(Godfather) and Remus Lupin. Both James and Lily told Harry that they were "so very proud of him", proud of his outstanding courage and strength, and assured him that they would stay with him until the very end. Harry described their very presence as his courage, the reason he was able to keep putting one foot in front of the other, with Lily smiling at him, and James nodding encouragingly.
Many years after Lily died, her son married Ginevra Weasley, and fathered three children. Harry's only daughter, Lily Luna Potter, was named in memory of her paternal grandmother.[12]
Physical description
Lily was a beautiful woman. She had thick, dark red hair that fell to her shoulders and bright green almond-shaped eyes.[12] Apparently, her bright green eyes were extremely distinctive, because every person who knew Lily would always see them in Harry.
It is commented by her aged son, Harry, when he travelled back to the past he cited that she was extremely beautiful even in the face of death.
Personality and traits
- "Lily Evans. One of the brightest I ever taught. Vivacious, you know. Charming girl."
- —Horace Slughorn describing Lily's personality[src]
Lily was known for being a vivacious, talented, and popular student. She became Head Girl in her final year at Hogwarts. She was also an all-time favourite of her Potions Master Horace Slughorn. Slughorn noted that she was witty and charming, as well as having a knack for potions.[23] Remus Lupin once described her as an uncommonly kind person with a habit of seeing the best in others, even when they could not see it themselves.[24]
Lily was also a woman of sound moral principles, and would stand by them no matter what it cost her: though her actions were ineffective. On at least one occasion she called out James Potter and Sirius Black for their bullying of her friend, Severus Snape. When she realised — through an insult that Snape gave her in a moment of angry humiliation — Snape's devotion to Voldemort's genocidal cause (of which she was a target of at the time) as well as his increasingly deep fascination with the Dark Arts, caused her to refuse his apology for the insult, and ended her friendship with him permanently.
Though she had a sharp tongue and had no problems in standing up to others when she was in a temper, Lily was still the type of person who would give others a second chance when they had proven themselves worthy of it. The most notable instance of this quality would be how she finally agreed to date James after he had matured out of his bullying ways, despite the fact that she did not have a good opinion of him during their early school years.
Lily's and her husband's most celebrated virtues were their courage and capacity for self-sacrifice: defying Voldemort three times as members of the Order of the Phoenix, and even dying to protect their son. It was also noted that Lily was very much like her son, Harry. Lily's strength is commented on by her grandson, Albus, in that she would understand her fate and the fact that she would never see her son grow up.[25]
Magical abilities and skills
- "She was a dab hand at Potions, Lily was! "
- —Professor Slughorn regarding Lily's talent[src]
Since even Lord Voldemort was willing to overlook her Muggle-born status and ask her to join him, it can be deduced that Lily was a very powerful witch.[16][26] She was able to conjure a corporeal doe Patronus (a mark of superior magical ability[27]) and it was also noted that Lily had a particular talent in Potions.
- Love: Lily displayed a tremendous amount of love throughout her life. She lovingly sacrificed herself for her only son when she was twenty-one years old. It was this sacrifice that enabled Harry to survive the Killing Curse and protected him for sixteen years after her death.
- Potions: Lily was an excellent potioneer, possessing a "instinctual understanding" of the subject.
- Charms: Lily's wand was said to have been good for charms work. This implies that she must have been proficient in this area of magic. Lily was able to make "singing teapots"[28] and could also effectively conjure a corporeal doe Patronus, a very advanced piece of magic.
- Duelling: Lily (along with her husband) was able to defy and escape Lord Voldemort three times, which showcases her talent in martial magic.
- Transfiguration: Lily was revealed to have been skilled in Transfiguration. When home from Hogwarts she "turned teacups into rats" and was able to transfigure a lily petal into a fish.[29]
- Control of underage magic: Before attending Hogwarts, Lily was revealed to have already had a level of control over her magic, which was a rare skill. She was able to slow her descent through the air after jumping off a swing, and to control the petals of a flower.
- Wand: Lily's wand was 10¼" long, made of willow, and had an unknown core. The wand was described as "swishy" and "nice for Charms work" by Garrick Ollivander.[30]
- Potters' Cottage: Lily owned this cottage in Godric's Hollow along with her husband James during the final weeks of the First Wizarding War. This is where she and her husband were murdered and her son Harry was marked as the "Boy Who Lived". The cottage still stands as a reminder of what happened that Hallowe'en night in 1981.
- Cat: This was a pet of the Potter family. What happened to it after the attack is unknown.
Evans family
- "You didn't just lose a mother that night in Godric's Hollow, you know. I lost a sister."
- —Petunia showing her affection for Lily[src]
Lily had a close relationship with her mother and father. They were very proud to learn that Lily was a witch and favoured her over her sister Petunia. She had a happy home life.
Lily initially had a close relationship with her older sister, Petunia. The two girls played together and when Lily began demonstrating magical ability, Petunia was "torn between curiosity and disapproval". Petunia was disdainful of the friendship Lily struck up with Severus Snape, the poor, young wizard who had taken to spying on Lily and who first informed her that she was a witch; in turn, Snape was quite insulting to Petunia for being a Muggle. When Lily was invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Petunia wrote to the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, requesting that she be permitted to do the same. Although his refusal was kind, Petunia became very bitter, and jealously deemed her sister a "freak".[12]
Their relationship seems to have deteriorated greatly afterwards, and even as an adult, Petunia resented that her parents were proud of Lily's magical abilities and took out her enmity on Lily's son, Harry. However, despite the bitterness on Petunia's end, the two appeared to still be in contact; Harry, as an infant, was said to have "smashed a horrible vase Petunia sent [Lily] for Christmas".[12] Petunia also grudgingly took Harry in, at Dumbledore's request, after Lily's death.
James Potter
Lily's relationship with James Potter was initially a volatile one. They first met on the Hogwarts Express just before the start of their first year at Hogwarts, at which time Lily was angered by James' and Sirius Black's mockery of her best friend, Severus Snape[12]. Although James was a talented Quidditch player, well-liked by most, Lily considered him an arrogant bully and treated him with contempt. This was likely motivated partly by James' hostile relationship with Snape.
By his fifth year, James started to have romantic feelings for Lily, and would show off to try to impress her, without success.[11] It is not known whether he asked her out more than once. It seems that, by that time, James had "deflated his head a bit" and "stopped hexing people for the fun of it"[11]. She eventually began going out with him and married James. The two joined the Order of the Phoenix after graduating, in addition to getting married and having a child, Harry James Potter.
Her Patronus took the shape of a doe, while her husband's was a stag.
Harry Potter
- "Harry, you are so loved. Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Harry, be safe. Be strong."
- —Lily's last words to her son[src]
On 31 July, 1980, Lily and James' first and only child, Harry, was born and they loved their son more than anything. On Hallowe'en in 1981 they sacrificed themselves at 21 years old in order to save him from Lord Voldemort, when he was just an infant. Albus Dumbledore always maintained that Harry's love for his parents and the love they had in return for him, was his greatest power.
Harry barely knew them, but nevertheless regarded them with great reverence and fiercely defended their memory if anyone spoke ill of them. In 1995, he punched Draco Malfoy for insulting his mother, and he was frequently at odds with Professor Snape, who taunted Harry that James was not the great man others made him out to be. An incident that Snape would have delightfully used as an example was witnessed by Harry in the spring of 1996, when Harry accidentally watched James bullying Snape with no provocation (other than the already-existing animosity between them,) in one of Snape's own memories, during Harry's Occlumency lessons. Harry began to question how his mother even came to marry James when she clearly despised him for acting in such a way, though Remus and Sirius later assured Harry that his father had changed his ways, having matured enough to become Head Boy and eventually win Lily over.
The few times he ever saw his parents were in pictures given to him by Rubeus Hagrid, through a vision within the Mirror of Erised, as spectral forms which came out of Voldemort's wand during Priori Incantatem, as stored memories within the Pensieve, and again as spectral forms when he "recalled" them during the Battle of Hogwarts, by using the Resurrection Stone. Lily's spirit was described as looking at Harry as if she couldn't do so enough, and Harry asked his mother to stay close to him as he approached the Death Eaters' camp, and certain doom. Both James and Lily told Harry that they were tremendously proud of him for being so brave and strong despite all the pain and suffering he had endured, and gave him the support he needed to sacrifice himself to Voldemort.
It's also seen that Lily calls Harry by a name of affection, she has on different occasions referred to him as "sweetheart". Harry eventually named two of his children after his late parents and godfather, James Sirius Potter, and Lily Luna Potter. When her youngest grandson, Albus, time-traveled to the day before her death he noticed the love in which she placed the blanket over her son and that she clearly treasured and loved her son deeply.
Severus Snape
- Lily: "Does it make a difference, being Muggle-born?"
- Severus Snape: "No. It doesn't make any difference."
- — Snape discussing Lily's Muggle-born status as children[src]
Severus Snape lived near the Evans family when he was a child, and soon began spying on Lily after he noticed that she was a witch. The two became friends when he started telling her about the wizarding world, and were best friends until their fifth year at Hogwarts, despite being sorted into different houses. Lily became increasingly dismayed by Snape's friendships with people such as Avery and Mulciber, who disdained Muggle-borns and who practised the Dark Arts. There is no evidence to suggest that Lily reciprocated the romantic feelings felt by Snape, but she was best friends with him and could grow to love him romantically. However, Snape called Lily a "filthy Mudblood" in a fit of anger and humiliation, it was the last straw for Lily. When she later asked him if he still intended to become a Death Eater and he did not deny it, she severed all ties with him.
Despite the ending of their friendship, Snape still loved Lily. When he realised that it was Harry who Voldemort had fixated on as his enemy mentioned in the Prophecy, Snape begged him to spare Lily's life. He however, showed no concern for the life of her son or husband. Voldemort agreed to this request and offered Lily several chances to step aside. Her refusal to do so even though she had a choice is what created the magic that protected Harry.
Lily loved Snape as her best friend and tragically for him, might have returned his romantic love if he had not once been consumed by the Dark Arts.[7] The deep, unrequited love Snape held for Lily for almost all of his life also influenced his Patronus, which took the form of a silver doe - the same as hers, caused him to spy on Voldemort for Albus Dumbledore. He also protected her son until his own death, where he told Harry "Look at me", wishing to see Lily's eyes once more before he died as it was the only part of Harry that resembled his mother, the rest looking very much like his father.
Lily's second grandson, Albus Severus, has both Lily and Harry's eyes and was named in honour of Snape.
Lily met Sirius Black on the Hogwarts Express at the same time she met James. She disliked them both, as they quickly began teasing Severus Snape, Lily's best friend at the time (though it was Snape who had initiated the argument by mocking the other boys' preference of House). When Lily and Sirius were both sorted into Gryffindor House Lily remembered him from the train, and turned her back on him when he made room for her at the Gryffindor table.
However, during their later school years they might have become good friends, and Lily eventually married Sirius's best friend, James Potter. Sirius, Lily, and the Marauders became members of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War and fought in several battles against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. When Dumbledore casted a Fidelius Charm to hide James, Lily, and Harry from Voldemort, they originally wanted to make Sirius their Secret Keeper. They knew Sirius to be completely and utterly trustworthy, and Lily sent him at least one letter and a photograph of her family during her time in hiding. However, Sirius had proposed that Peter Pettigrew be made Secret Keeper instead, thinking that Voldemort would not expect a "weak, talentless thing" like Peter to be given a such crucial role. This turned out to be a fatal mistake, as Peter had turned traitor and become a spy for the Death Eaters. Barely a week after the Fidelius Charm was performed, Peter betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort, leading to them being tragically murdered.[22] Sirius was deeply devastated; he attacked Peter and attempted to kill him.
Sirius was also godfather to Lily's son, Harry Potter, and they shared an intimate relationship; Harry regarded Sirius as a mixture of friend and older brother, and Sirius viewed Harry as an exceptionally brave and matured adult with rights to knowing difficult truths, fully capable of shouldering burdens that many wizards much older and wiser than he could not.
Lily's relationship with Remus Lupin is not known. In the movies, Lily and Remus are portrayed as friends, though there is no info related to their relationship in the books. When Snape insisted there was something strange about Remus, Lily answered that she didn't care about what the Marauders did; most likely, she had also realised that Remus was a werewolf, but didn't care. After graduating from Hogwarts, Remus helped James and Lily hide, and would have willingly died for his friends rather than betray them to save his own skin. When James and Lily died, Remus was devastated, and initially believed, along the rest of the wizarding world, that Sirius had been a traitor.
Later on, Remus grew close to Lily's son, Harry Potter. He taught Harry the Patronus Charm, and protected him throughout the Second Wizarding War, while Harry ended up becoming godfather to Remus's son Teddy.
Despite Peter Pettigrew's cowardly nature, Lily became more friendly with him as she warmed to James, even affectionately referring to Peter as "Wormy," from his nickname "Wormtail." When James and Lily went into hiding from Lord Voldemort, Lily and James trusted Peter enough to make him their Secret Keeper, though only at Sirius' suggestion to use someone less obvious than himself for the role. By then, however, Peter had already become a spy for Voldemort, and he betrayed his dearest friends out of fear for his own life; one time Peter saw Lily and James while they were in hiding, Lily noted that he "seemed down." After Voldemort murdered Lily and James, it is possible that Pettigrew felt some regret for his treacherous, heartless betrayal; in 1998, Pettigrew unintentionally saved Harry from Lord Voldemort, who was trying to kill the boy through Pettigrew's silver hand, by briefly hesitating when Harry reminded him of his life debt. This one, tiny impulse of mercy, however, led to Pettigrew being killed by the same hand.
Horace Slughorn
- "Your mother was one of my absolute favourites!"
- —Horace Slughorn discussing his affection for Lily to Harry Potter[src]
During her time at Hogwarts, Lily demonstrated extraordinary talent in potions, becoming one of Potions Master Horace Slughorn's "all-time favourites" and a member of his Slug Club. Slughorn considered her to be one of the brightest students he had ever taught, while being known to also teach students like Tom Riddle, and knew her to be a vivacious, charming, talented, if sometimes cheeky girl; he even stated, "I don't imagine anyone who met her wouldn't have liked her...very brave...very funny...", though he was surprised by her Muggle lineage.
Lily also gave Slughorn a present, probably as a token of her respect and love for him as her teacher: a bowl of water, on which a petal from a lily floated, and as the petal sank, it transformed into a fish, just before it reached the bottom. He described it as "beautiful magic, wondrous to behold", and named the fish Francis. When Francis suddenly disappeared one day, Slughorn realised that Lily had died[31], and her death haunted him for many years. Harry Potter used Slughorn's sympathy and grief for his mother's death to his advantage while under the effects of Felix Felicis, persuading Slughorn to give him the true memory of Tom Riddle's inquiry about Horcruxes, by encouraging him to be as brave as his mother was, and claiming that it would undo whatever great wrong he had done.
Albus Dumbledore
Albus Dumbledore was Lily's Headmaster when she was a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. When Dumbledore invited Lily to attend Hogwarts, her sister, Petunia, became jealous, and sent a letter to Dumbledore requesting to be enrolled in Hogwarts as well. Dumbledore answered Petunia that she could not, though in a way Lily found to be "very kind". During Lily's years at Hogwarts, Dumbledore became very fond of her, seeing her as a talented witch with a pure, kind heart, and eventually appointing her Head Girl.
After Lily and her friends graduated from Hogwarts, they became members of the Order of the Phoenix, an organisation Dumbledore founded and led. When James and Lily became targets of Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore offered to be their Secret Keeper in an attempt to protect them, but the role went to Peter Pettigrew instead, at Sirius' suggestion. This turned out to be the couple's death sentence, as Peter betrayed them to Voldemort, who found them and killed them. Dumbledore was deeply upset by their deaths, and dedicated the rest of his life to keeping their son safe. He eventually became Harry's mentor, often telling Harry of the love and goodness of his parents, and continually insisting that Harry's love for his parents was his greatest strength and a source of incredible power — "the power the Dark Lord knows not".
Minerva McGonagall
Minerva McGonagall appeared to have a close relationship with Lily during the First Wizarding War. McGonagall was the Transfiguration Professor and also the Head of Gryffindor House while Lily attended Hogwarts. Lily's relationship with McGonagall is not known.
After Lily left Hogwarts, both she and McGonagall became members of the first Order of the Phoenix and fought against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. After Voldemort found and killed the Potters, McGonagall was devastated to learn of Lily's death, and that of her husband, James, to which she actually broke down into tears. Professor McGonagall was fond of Lily's son, and protected him as best as she could throughout his time at Hogwarts.
Order of the Phoenix
During the First Wizarding War, Lily was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and would have fought alongside many of its members during the First Wizarding War. She appeared to be friendly with some members, such as Rubeus Hagrid, Elphias Doge, and Marlene McKinnon, as she appeared to be very upset when she learned about the McKinnons' death, crying all night.
The given name Lily comes from the name of the flower, which is a symbol of purity.[32] Specifically, the lily is often associated with the Blessed Virgin Mary; one type of the flower is known as the Madonna lily. Greek mythology also links lilies to the Muses and to the goddess Hera, and the flowers continue to be representative of purity and love in Europe. In China, lily means "forever in love", and the flowers were thought to be capable of averting evil.[33]
Lily's maiden name was Evans. Evans is a Welsh or English surname derived from the given name Evan[34]. As a Welsh name, Evan means "young warrior"; it can also be considered a form of the name John, (named after the apostle John) meaning "God is gracious and merciful"[35].
Lily's married surname is Potter. Potter is a very common surname of English origin.[36] It traditionally refers to the occupation of making pottery. Beatrix Potter was a well-known English children's author. Potter's Field is the name for a burial ground for the unknown or unclaimed dead, particularly soldiers and orphans; It is first mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, the Potter family had many members that fit that description. The Potter Box is a model for making ethical decisions developed at Harvard University. Rowling has also commented that she has liked this name since childhood, due to a relationship with two friends who were named Ian and Vikki Potter.[37]
Behind the scenes
- In the films, Geraldine Somerville plays Lily as an adult, Susie Shinner plays her as a teenager, and Ellie Darcey-Alden plays an even younger Lily in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows[38] and so is one of the 14 characters to appear in all 8 film adaptions. J.K. Rowling was asked to play Lily in the Mirror of Erised scene in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but she refused the part because she said that she was "not cut out to be an actress because she'd mess-up somehow."[39]
- Technically, Geraldine Somerville is one of just over a dozen actors and actresses to have appeared in all eight Harry Potter films and played the same character, one of only three adult actors to do so (the others being Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman). However, several films do not feature new footage of her and are simply short clips from other films.
- Lily is portrayed by British actress Annabel Baldwin (alternating the role of Moaning Myrtle as well) in the original West End production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.[40]
- Inspired by a famous writer Mary Ann Evans, who wrote under pseudonym George Eliot.[41]
- In the Harry Potter novels, Lily is mentioned to have died aged twenty-one, yet in the films she appears much older. This could be that she is seen with Harry in the mirror at the age she would be at the time, had she been alive (31), though this doesn't make sense as she still appears to be older than 21 in memory-flashbacks, photographs and during the Priori Incantatem scene. So it's most likely that just like Severus Snape in the films (the character is in his 30s, Alan Rickman is in his 50s-60s) the character herself is still in her 20s. However she merely looks like she is in her early 30s.
- In the novels it is often mentioned that Lily had bright green eyes and that Harry had the same eyes. In the films it is often remarked that Harry has his mother's eyes, but it is never stated what colour they are. Also in the films, Harry has blue eyes and young Lily has brown eyes.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Remus Lupin mentions that Lily had been there for him at a time when no one else was. This statement may or may not be canon, as the books never imply that Lily knew Lupin well until after she started dating James.
- Susie Shinner did not appear as Lily in the "Snape's Worst Memory" segment of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, although a promotional image showed her in costume.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort taunts Harry by calling Lily "your filthy Muggle mother" rather than "Mudblood", even though she's a Muggle-born witch.
- Note that in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the Tom Riddle coming out of his diary uses the term Mudblood. Although, it should be noted that Voldemort, believing in total blood purity, wouldn't care for technicalities and likely considered Muggle-borns as "bad" as Muggles themselves.
- In European folklore and in the infamous treatise on witchcraft, Malleus Maleficarum, the combination of dark red hair and bright green eyes was considered the mark of a witch, thus it is notable that Lily Evans possesses this exact colouring.[42]
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, there is an additional sequence after Aragog's funeral where Horace Slughorn describes a gift given to him by Harry's mother, Lily. One day, he'd found a bowl in his office with a small amount of water in it, upon which floated a single petal from a lily. As he watched, the petal sank into the water, and just before it reached the bottom, it transformed into a fish. Slughorn was delighted by what he considered a beautiful piece of magic, and kept the fish for many years, naming it Francis. On the night of 31 October, 1981, the night Lily Potter died, Francis disappeared from his bowl, and Slughorn knew right then and there what had happened to Lily.
- Lily's younger grandson and her son are the only Potter members to inherit Lily's eyes. It is very clear they are Lily's eyes, most people comment that Harry has her eyes, and looks very much like James. Harry, when looking into Albus' eyes, comments they were indeed Lily's eyes.
- Lily and Order of the Phoenix member, Nymphadora Tonks, are very similar. They both married a Marauder; Lily married James, and Nymphadora married Remus Lupin. They both are related to Muggles (Lily's parents and Nymphadora's paternal grandparents) and have one son, Harry Potter and Teddy Lupin, both sons were only babies when their parents died fighting Dark forces and both sons have inherited something from their mothers: Harry his mother's eyes, Teddy his mother's Metamorphmagus abilities.
- Lily and her daughter-in-law Ginny also are very very similar to each other. They both have red hair, they both married a Potter: Lily married James; Ginny married Harry, they both were popular in school, both weren't afraid to stand up for their friends: Lily when the Marauders harassed Severus Snape, and Ginny when people ridiculed Luna Lovegood by calling her Loony Lovegood.
- Lily and her grandson Albus Severus Potter are also very similar. They are both the second born child of their families. Albus inherit her bright green eyes through her son Harry who also has her green eyes. Both have been antagonised by their older sibling, Petunia was jealous of her magical abilities and called her a freak, Albus is picked on by his brother James.
- Rubeus Hagrid revealed that Lord Voldemort tried to recruit James Potter and Lily Evans before they left Hogwarts. While this is understandable for James, it was revealed by Rowling that Muggle-borns such as Lily can be permitted to join the Death Eaters, but only in extremely rare circumstances.[43]
- J.K. Rowling said that like Ginny, she was a popular girl.[21]
- Lily Evans' life bears some resemblances to that of the character Lilias Craven in Marsha Norman's stage musical adaptation of Francis Hodgson Burnett's novel The Secret Garden, having died prematurely, been part of an unrequited love triangle, and having passed her eyes on to a young relative.
- Lily's name continues a pattern of flower names in the series. For instance, in the generation during the First Wizarding War, there was her and Petunia Evans. A lily and a petunia are both flowers. In the generation of the Second Wizarding War there was Narcissa Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Fleur Delacour, Poppy Pomfrey and Lavender Brown. In the generation after the war there was Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's daughter, Rose Granger-Weasley. There was also Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's daughter, Lily Luna Potter.
- Other than Minerva McGonagall, Lily is the only known Head Girl. It can however be assumed that, like prefects, one head girl is chosen out of the 7th years every year by the headmaster.
- Though Harry bears a great resemblance to his father, it is often noted that he has Lily's bright green eyes. In a 1999 interview, Rowling stated, "Harry has his father's and mother's good looks. But he has his mother's eyes and that's very important in a future book". That future book was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In Snape's death scene in that novel, after having passed on his memories to Harry, he whispers to Harry: "Look... at... me..." In one of Snape's memories, it is revealed that Dumbledore persuades Snape to protect Harry after Lily's death by mentioning the fact that he has "precisely" the same eyes as his mother. His last words to Harry were simply a desire to see Lily's eyes before he died.
- Lily's initially negative opinion of James is not shown in the films, and the purely strong and close romantic attraction between them seemed to develop much sooner.
- Ellie Darcey-Alden who plays young Lily Potter in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, actually has brown eyes, unlike how Lily's eyes are described, Daniel Radcliffe's eyes or Geraldine Somerville's eyes.
- In the films, particularly Goblet of Fire and Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Lily has a habit of calling Harry "sweetheart".
- J.K Rowling had said that if Severus wasn't so involved in the Dark Arts, and didn't start to display a very prejudiced attitude toward non pure-bloods, Lily might have considered dating Snape, rather than just being friends.
- Interestingly, Lily's surname means "young warrior" this could have been foreshadowing the birth of her son, Harry, who was described as a "young warrior". Also, Lily herself was also a young warrior, having fought in the First Wizarding War at age 21.
- When asked if Lily knew the effect she would have standing in front of Harry, J. K. Rowling stated in an interview; "No - because as I've tried to make clear in the series, it never happened before. No one ever survived before. And no one, therefore, knew that could happen." Additionally, when asked if Voldemort or anyone else using Avada Kedava ever gave someone a choice, and they took the option to die, she said "They may have been given a choice, but not in that particular way."

From 6:00 AM to Midnight on Thursday and Friday, Entry into Manhattan across the East River Bridges, the RFK Triborough Bridge, the Lincoln Tunnel and Henry Hudson Bridge is Restricted to Vehicles Occupied by Three or More People
The following are Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's remarks as delivered this afternoon at City Hall:
"Well let me start by saying good afternoon. I apologize for keeping everybody waiting, but there are so many moving parts that we are getting together. I'm joined by signer Pam Mitchell. Thank you, Pam.
"The purpose this afternoon is to update everyone on the progress that we're making in getting our city up and running again after Hurricane Sandy. Before I do, I did want to say for all we do to recover, I think it's fair to say we can't replace the lives lost as a result of the storm.
"The numbers are something like 50-odd people on the Atlantic Coast, 30 people roughly here in New York City. And we may find a few more bodies, and everybody here's heart goes out to the families of those New Yorkers who were lost in the storm, and to those who have lost their homes.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone – and we certainly will give our full support over the next weeks and months to those who were hurt by the storm.
"The FDNY's search and recovery operations, incidentally, are continuing in some of the areas hit hardest by the storm – particularly in the Rockaways where they are going house to house to see if there aren't more people in need, and hopefully they will not discover any more tragedies.
"I think that the best thing we can do for those that we lost is to make sure that we do everything we can to next time we have a big storm do an even better job of protecting people, giving them more warning. Maybe people will find different ways to communicate with them. Any loss of life is tragic – sadly nature is dangerous and these things occur, but we're going to do everything we can do prevent tragedies in the future, and I think the best we can do for those who did die is to make sure the city recovers and comes out of this and builds a better life for those that the deceased left behind. That's the best thing we can do, and in many senses it's the only thing we can do.
"Many people's lives were turned upside down by this storm, and you have my word that everyone in City government at every level is working 24 hours a day to get the city back on track – including working with the MTA and Con Ed to meet the two biggest challenges that we face: mass transit and electric power.
"Most of the MTA bus lines, I'm happy to say, were operating this morning, and thanks to the generosity of the MTA, they are free for the day. So thank you MTA. Next time somebody wants to criticize them, maybe you might have a smile on your face and say I liked it when you gave us a free ride.
"Bus service will continue to increase. Limited subway service may actually return tomorrow. There certainly will not be service below 34th Street in Manhattan where there is no power. The MTA workers are working extremely hard to get water out of the tunnels and stations. But that is a very complicated process. They've got to get them out, they've got to wash everything down and get the seawater out, and then there's invariably going to be some damage that they have to work on. So I think it's unlikely that you will see service under the East River before sometime the weekend, and if that was- if they could do that I think that would be amazing. It may stretch a little longer, but what they're going to do, the MTA has confident people. They've brought in contractors, and they're going to do everything they can to do it, but also to do it safely.
"All the East River bridges are open, but the Queens Midtown Tunnel, the Hugh Carey Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and the Holland Tunnels remain closed, and will certainly into the weekend I would assume. The Lincoln Tunnel is open, but the other tunnels, they want to make sure that structurally they're not damaged and there's a lot to wash out once they even pump out the water.
"I think anybody that tried to drive around New York City today realized there are a lot of cars on the road. Traffic is very heavy.
"People should use extreme caution when driving on streets, particularly where there are no traffic lights operating. You should know, we will have Police Department recruits at these intersections starting tonight to direct traffic.
"To reduce the number of cars coming into Manhattan, however, we have to take some steps. The streets just cannot handle the number of cars that have tried to come in, so I've ordered that the four East River bridges be restricted to High Occupancy Vehicles only tonight- coming into Manhattan – meaning 3 or more people per vehicle – all day on Thursday and all day on Friday 6 am to midnight.
"So from 6 am to midnight, if you're coming into Manhattan on the one of those bridges, you have to have three people in the car.
"We're also establishing bus lanes on key corridors. Exceptions to HOV rules including commercial, emergency, and para-transit vehicles, as well as buses will be made. Taxis will be exempt from the restriction from 4 pm on both days because when they start a new shift they're not going to be able to have passengers.
"I did talk earlier with the Governor and he's, I think very wisely, made exactly the same decision for the Triborough and Henry Hudson Bridges, and the Lincoln Tunnel. So whether you're coming in from New Jersey on anything other than the GW, and a lot of that traffic just keeps going towards Connecticut, but if you're coming in through the Lincoln Tunnel, into Manhattan through the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Triborough Bridge, or any of the four East River bridges – the Queensboro, Manhattan, Williamsburg and Brooklyn – you have to have three people in the car.
"I know it is inconvenient for a lot of people, but the bottom line is the streets can only handle so much. Hopefully we can find ways for you to pick up people who will be standing by the bridges. They've got a problem of getting in – you're their solution and they are your solution as well.
"Having said all of this, if you can find some other way to get into Manhattan without taking your cars, like taking a bus, it would be a great option for you and it would help everybody else, and traffic even with these restrictions we think will be slow. So it's in your interest.
"There are around 643,000 customers in the City remaining without power – some 230,000 of them in Manhattan. As Con Ed said today, the system is slowly being restored, but it's a process that's going to take days. I did come down Fifth Avenue this morning, and below 34th Street there was no electricity except all of a sudden I hit something in the high-20s and for four or five blocks there was electricity, and you can expect that kind of a restoration – area by area. Battery Park City never lost their power.
"Crews from Con Ed have been working around the clock to bring power back to everyone. They have enlisted help of something like 1,400 external contractors from around the country.
"The NYPD, incidentally, to provide some light for everybody at night in this area has 80 towers up last night with power lighting the streets, and their goal is tonight to have 100 more than that, so something like 180. It's still a very big area – 34th river to river all the way downtown – so there's not going to be everyplace, but we have a lot of police there and we'll provide as much light as we possibly can.
"Many people may have experienced loss of phone service as well. It is frustrating. I have tried a number of times to make a call and gotten through only to find it go to a one-way call very quickly. We have been in touch with AT&T and Verizon who have requested our assistance in pumping out water in some of their critical locations so they can get back to service, and we're working with them to do everything we can.
"Many people have asked when the mandatory evacuations of buildings in Zone A will be lifted. The answer is not until our Buildings Department inspects the structures that might have been damaged by the wind and the water. The Staten Island buildings in Zone A, we're almost done with that. We'll certainly finish that in the next day or so. These inspections are to certify that the buildings are safe to occupy.
"I know it's annoying to everyone, but we don't need any more loss of life. We want to make sure that the buildings are safe.
"Every building in Staten Island's Zone A will have been tagged – we actually put a tag on the building so you can look and see – red, yellow, or green, meaning green it's safe to enter the building, red means it's not safe and you may not enter the building, and yellow meaning you should exercise great caution. For example, go to some floors but not others, and the conditions will be explained on the sticker that we put on the building.
"The ability to notify each owner in a very short time really isn't there, particularly when the phone service doesn't work all that well, so you can take a look at your building. I know it's once again inconvenient, but it's a practical way to solve the problem.
"Buildings Department is undertaking the same process in the Rockaways and Lower Manhattan. We'll announce when portions of those inspections have been completed. And large building owners who have building staff that are familiar with working with our Department of Buildings can self-certify with the Department of Buildings when the Department of Building engineers are willing to accept the self-certification. They'll receive a green light to be able to go into it. But for the average person, smaller single, two, three family building, you're going to have to just look at the sticker.
"Let me give you a little update on our hospitals and health care facilities: the 17 chronic care facilities in Zone A had to be evacuated, 13 have been evacuated, four evacuations are still under way. You will see these CERT teams and Fire Department ambulances moving together. That's what we're trying to do. We want to make sure that these people are moved safely and some of them require extra care while we do that.
"Most of the patients were moved to other chronic care facilities, but some were moved to the city's 7 shelters for people with special medical needs. All of these patients are safe and are being cared for. There were no storm-related deaths from any of the evacuated facilities.
"I did want to thank the Federal Department of Health and Human Services for sending Federal Disaster Medical Assistance teams to help run these special needs shelters. These shelters are intended for short-term use – so we will be relocating these patients to long-term facilities sometime by this weekend, perhaps Saturday.
"As we previously reported, NYU-Downtown, the Manhattan Veterans' Affairs Hospital, and NYU Langone had to be evacuated. One of the city's public hospitals, Coney Island Hospital, had to be evacuated. That is almost completed.
"We learned this morning that Bellevue Hospital will now have to evacuate because of damage that it has sustained. They didn't think the damage was that bad and we did have a generator going, and the National Guard helped carry fuel up to the roof because that's where the fuel tank was and they were running out, but the bottom line is when they got into the basement they realized there was more damage.
"This is going to affect something like 500 patients. They had already discharged patients that didn't require critical care.
"We are in the process of finding beds to move these patients now, and I want to thank the Greater New York Hospital Association for their help in the process of relocating patients.
"There are about 6,300 people in our city's 76 evacuation shelters. In the days ahead, we will begin consolidating that number of shelters. We have some shelters that are heavily populated, and some that have a dozen people in them, and it becomes problematic to staff all of those so we will try to move people as little as possible, but we certainly are going to consolidate.
"And I did want to particularly thank the City University of New York, which has been a great partner to us in this effort.
"The volunteers and City employees manning these shelters have done a phenomenal job, and they deserve all our thanks.
"I also want to thank the many New Yorkers who've come forward to donate, volunteer, or provide other help. Anyone who would like to make a financial contribution can do so through the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City just by visiting NYC.gov.
"I got off the phone with somebody earlier – his company gave $2.5 million and hopefully we'll have an appropriate time to announce who it is. But just wanted to point out there are people who are coming forward, understand that there are people in need and they're willing to do something.
"And I wanted to thank the elected officials who've also been so helpful during this time.
"As to the damaged crane at the construction site on West 57th Street: Engineers have been in the building since yesterday and have determined that the ties that bind the crane town to the building are secure. There was enormous torque when this fell over, and the fact that those connectors withstood the pressure just testifies to how well they were put it and how stable that tower is.
"The next step is going to be to determine some steps as to how to begin shrinking the zone around the frozen area as we eventually get around to, probably tomorrow or the next day, tying the boom to the building so that you can then work on the top of it, and they'll have to construct another crane next to it in order to take down this one. And that can take weeks, but once the boom is secured we should be able to minimize any disruption on the street below. But certainly that street's not going to be fully reopened until sometime this weekend at the earliest.
"Business in the city is on its way back. This morning I rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange. The Exchange is open and trading is happening.
"We're also talking with business leaders in all five boroughs: Chambers of commerce, representatives of the city's 67 business improvement districts, major commercial and residential property owners, and the Partnership for New York City.
"We're also working to help them keep businesses moving forward. As you know, the storm represents an enormous challenge for small businesses, especially in areas affected by flooding and power outages.
"So today we've put together a package of relief for small businesses to help them get through the setbacks caused by the storm. It includes emergency loans of up to $10,000 for small and mid-sized businesses that have had their businesses interrupted by the storm.
"For larger businesses that were damaged, there will be temporary City and State sales tax deferment on materials needed for rebuilding. For businesses displaced from their locations, we're offering temporary office space free of charge at the Brooklyn Army Terminal for the next 30 days.
"EDC has about 40,000 square feet of space at the Terminal that's now available for this use. Loans up to $2 million are also available for business property losses not fully covered by insurance – and for businesses that have had cash flow problems caused by the storm and need funds to get back on their feet.
"That applies to small businesses, agricultural co-ops, and most nonprofits, regardless of size. These are great resources – and I strongly urge any business that wants to take advantage of these services to do so. You should contact NYC Business Solutions by calling 311 or going to nyc.gov. And we will also help direct you to some of the things that Governor Cuomo is planning in terms of assistance from the State. So whether you call the State or you call the City, we want to make sure that you get access to all the programs that will help you recover from this.
"I also want to remind you that anyone affected by Sandy – homeowners, renters, and businesses – can apply for federal disaster assistance. You register at DisasterAssistance.gov or call the Federal Emergency Management agency at 1-800-621-3362. That's 1-800-621-3362.
"FEMA – Federal Emergency Management Agency as it's called – has just been spectacularly helpful. I haven't heard anybody say anything but great things. The Director has done a great job, and the President has been intimately involved making sure that people know what services are available and know how to get them.
"There are a few other updates I wanted to give you: Schools will remain closed for students tomorrow and Friday. However, on Friday we ask all teachers, administrators and school staff to report to work. Friday, Chancellor Walcott and the Department of Education will have lots of things to do to get ready for next week. The Chancellor will provide more information about reporting assignments later today and Thursday.
"I know this is a great inconvenience for parents who may be missing work because they don't have anybody to take care of their kids, but the bottom line is there's an awful lot of schools that have received damage or don't have power, and it's just so many that in the end we need the next four or five days to clean up, and hopefully by Monday everything will be back perfect.
"HRA centers remain open for people who need to access public benefits, including food replacement vouchers.
"The Department of Sanitation continues to collect the garbage, but they're not collecting recycling. They also have the responsibility of remove removing tons of debris left by the storm and they're out there on long shifts doing that.
"66 of 253 senior centers in the city have been open today; we expect 125 of 253 will be open Thursday, and we hope to continue to make progress in that.
"As we return to normal, please remember that the conditions left by the storm can be dangerous. Please stay away downed power lines if you encounter them. I cannot urge you to do that enough. We've had some fatalities already – power lines are lethal when they are on the ground.
"Do not cut down or remove trees yourself; leave it to the professionals. We've lost a number of lives to falling trees, and trees weigh an awful lot. And if you think you can just cut it up if it falls on you or snaps back, it can do enormous damage and kill you. Stay out of all City parks until they are safe, and be careful around trees in the street.
"We've received more than 10,500 reports of trees downed, split, or uprooted – about half of them in Queens. And that's outside of the parks. In the parks, there's a lot more.
"Parks and beaches remain closed for safety reasons. It's just critical that people stay off the beaches and out of the parks. We've got enough to do to clean up and to make them safe, and we just don't need to put any of our first responders' lives in jeopardy trying to save somebody who is acting irresponsibly.
"We are inspecting all parks and playgrounds. The majority of them will be opened, we think, by the weekend, but we've got to make sure the trees that are down are cleaned up or made safe, and we've got to make sure that all the playground equipment is safe. Some of it was carried away. We've got to replace that. We'll do the best job we can, but safety is our number one priority.
"You can find out about your neighborhood park at NYC.gov. But Saturday and Sunday, the forecast is for crisp, clear weather, and it'll be a good time to take the kids to the park. Everybody's been cooped up all week and not been able to use the parks, but hopefully that will let us breathe a sigh of relief.
"Some more precautions: you should throw away any food, including packaged food, that was touched by flood water. Floodwater is very dangerous, don't drink it. It picks up all sorts of things as it flows around. Floodwaters can contain sewage, so it is important to disinfect contaminated items that get into the floodwaters and keep them from coming in contact with the food that you eat or certainly wash your hands if you touch something before you pick up food that you're going to eat.
"After a flood, it is important to clean and dry affected items as quickly as possible to prevent mold growth.
"Tap water, I was asked about yesterday, our tape water is safe to drink. There are reports of some neighboring cities where that's not the case. I don't know whether that's true or not, but we tested the water again and again and again at all parts of the city and we even added some extra chlorine to make sure that you can drink it, so do not worry about that. And in fact, we're trying to truck in water to those areas where water might not be available and give you a place to get some water to take upstairs. If you live above, like, the sixth floor, depends on where you live, and there's no electricity in the building, there's no pump to take water up and gravity will only take it up to the level of the last reservoir.
"If you're without power, don't use generators or grills indoors; the results could be carbon monoxide poisoning and that kills. So keep generators outdoors and away from windows and vents.
"Space heaters also create carbon monoxide. You should have a battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm. A lot of people do. We keep recommending this every year. It'd be a good time to test the batteries.
"If you experience sleepiness, dizziness, headaches, confusion, weakness or your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, immediately seek fresh air and call the poison control center at, it's easy to remember, 212-POISONS. The numeric is 212-764-7667.
"You can also call 911, since carbon monoxide poisoning really is a life threatening emergency. But I again urge New Yorkers to only call 911 in case of life-threatening emergencies.
"Today is Halloween – as I announced, the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade has been postponed until someday next week. We haven't determined which day yet, but we will have it held next week. The bottom line is there's parts of the city that doesn't have light, and our police officers have plenty of things to do and we do need them to control traffic around the parade. So I'm sorry about it, but it will go on next week.
"If you're taking your kids trick-or-treating tonight, somebody asked me is trick-or-treating on tonight, well I suppose that's between you and your neighbors. But particularly if we don't have street lights, be sure you hold your children's hands. It's just dangerous. Cars might not be able to see them.
"At my recommendation, the NBA has cancelled tomorrow night's game between the Knicks and Nets. It was going to be the first Nets game in the new stadium. Now the first Nets game will be Saturday at 7:30 pm at the Barclays Center. The Nets play the Toronto Raptors, and this game will be rescheduled. The NBA will be working with the City to provide extra bus services for Saturday night because the subways may not be back. After that, there's plenty of mass transit. That's one of the beauties of the Barclays Center. Unfortunately, we didn't count on Sandy. Hopefully Sandy doesn't come along very often.
"I'm sorry about the game, I was personally going to take my daughters and Diana. We were looking forward to it. It's a great stadium, it would have been a great game, but the bottom line is there is not a lot of mass transit. Our police have plenty of other things to do. I know lots of fans are going to be disappointed, and the players are disappointed. You should know, the players wanted to play this, but I did talk to the NBA and asked them to cancel the game. It's all up to me.
"People have asked about the marathon. There's tens of thousands of people who've come from around the world here to run. We've decided the Marathon will go on. We expect by Sunday most of the power will be back, if not all of it. It starts on Staten Island right by the bridge. We've been cleaning up that area, and then it's on main roads throughout the city.
"We may ask the Road Runners to at some point later in the evening on Sunday when some stragglers, like I would be if I was running the marathon, at eight or nine o'clock at night, put a limit to how late that is, just because the resources, and if there were still power outages – I don't expect that – but the bottom line is I think some people said you shouldn't run the marathon. There's an awful lot of small businesses that depend on these people, we have to have an economy. There are lots of people that have come here. It's a great event for New York, and I think for those who were lost, you know, you've got to believe they would want us to have an economy and have a city go on for those that they left behind.
"We are on our way back to normal. I did want to stress once again that our two biggest challenges remain getting our mass transit and power grids up and running. The MTA is doing everything they possibly can, so is Con Ed. The City is willing to help whenever asked, instantly. It just takes some time, and the most important thing for both of those organizations is to do it safely.
"But in all fairness, we are on the road to recovery. Each day you're going to see more and more things. Today our streets have too much traffic. Yesterday there was none, so I suppose that's progress, unless you're driving.
"I did want to thank all City employees who've been working around the clock to keep us moving forward. You've seen the dedication that we had expected to see, that the public has a right to see from all of us who are privileged enough to work for the City and for the people who live here."

Twitter Charts Conservative IPO Course
Oct 25, 2013 3:23 PM PT
Twitter has set the price range for its highly anticipated initial public offering at between US$17 and $20 per share, according to a document filed on Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company plans to raise as much as $1.61 billion by selling between 70 million and 80.5 million shares. With some 544.7 million shares outstanding after the IPO, this puts the value of the company at $10.08 billion based on an $18.50 average price.
Twitter is currently on course for its stock market debut to be in the middle of November.
It will be selling about 12 percent of the company to the public. The share sale on the New York Stock Exchange will be the largest Internet company IPO since Facebook's debut last year. According to the filing with the SEC, Twitter has 218 million monthly users, with some 500 million tweets sent each day.
Fairly Priced?
With Facebook's controversial IPO still fresh in most investors' memory, Twitter's relatively conservative approach may make a good deal of sense. Facebook shares were priced initially at $38 per share, but then later soared to $45 before slumping.
"The average investor is most often hurt when buying 'familiar' brands without a deep understanding of the potential monetization strategies of those brands," Chris Silva, founder and principal analyst at High Rock Strategy, told the E-Commerce Times. "It's the reason Apple stock sees such wild fluctuation the day of an announcement, whether popular or not."
Of course, while Facebook's IPO is often held up as a model for what to avoid, there's no denying that it did raise a lot of money.
"Facebook had a very successful IPO -- people bought the stock," Charlene Li, partner and founder of the Altimeter Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
"The question is what you use to define a successful IPO," she explained. "If you are the investor, you want a lot of pop and to see the stock price go up, but for Facebook, the IPO raised a lot of money for the company. That's what the IPO is supposed to do."
'That Is Going to Dampen the IPO'
Of course, while Twitter's IPO will be closely watched, it should be remembered that this is in fact just the beginning -- from there, Twitter will need to show investors that it can actually monetize its content. That puts a lot of weight on each of those 140 characters.
"While Twitter has created a number of good revenue opportunities such as sponsored tweets and other advertising, their potential revenue and products to bring to market are still question marks," Silva said. "A conservative opening price point seems a good way to avoid a market disappointment while leaving the stock price plenty of running room as their profit models mature."
Therein lies another difference between Facebook and Twitter.
"Twitter wants that bigger first day pop," suggested Li. "You have to realize that Twitter isn't profitable, so they can't be as aggressive as Facebook -- by the time of its IPO, Facebook was already highly profitable. The revenue stream is not as clear for Twitter, and that is going to dampen the IPO."
Indeed, "Twitter is losing money and is a young company," agreed securities attorney Andrew Stoltmann.
"Investors in IPOs in hot companies often forget the basics of investing," Stoltmann added. "Long term, earnings drive share prices. Suspending rational thinking is a recipe for investing disaster; unfortunately, many investors will do so with Twitter."

DURHAM — Something in the rarefied air of Colorado did Grayson Downing some good. He didn't miss a step returning to sea level.
Fresh off his first career hat trick last week at Denver, Downing scored twice to lead the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team to a 5-2 win over UMass-Lowell on Friday night before a crowd of 5,725 at the Whittemore Center.
"It's a lot easier to breathe, that's for sure," said Downing. "Coming back, it's kind of nice. And then, playing at home, obviously, it's a lot nicer. Playing in front of our fans, it was awesome to get the fans back and give them a good game. It was a lot of fun tonight."
The second-ranked Wildcats improved to 10-1-2 overall, 7-1-1 in Hockey East, and remained unbeaten (6-0-1) in their last seven games. It was UNH's second win of the season over Lowell, which fell to 4-6-1, 2-5-1 in the league.
"He's a goal scorer," UNH coach Dick Umile said about Downing. "The kid's a smart hockey player. He can handle the puck extremely well. He's pretty clever."
Friday's win, coupled with Boston University's 4-2 win over top-ranked Boston College, means the Wildcats will likely be the No. 1 team in the country with a win over the River Hawks when the two teams meet again tonight in Lowell, Mass.
UNH goalie Casey DeSmith finished with 34 saves, including a number of big ones in the third period as the River Hawks chipped away at the Wildcats' lead.
"It's a good thing to get that bad taste out of your mouth one game back," said DeSmith, who was pulled midway through the first period against Denver with UNH trailing 3-0. "I honestly put it out of my mind as soon as it happened. Pucks are going to go in sometimes, and unfortunately a few too many went in last weekend. (I'm) glad I could get back on track tonight."
Picking up right where he left off after scoring three goals in the Wildcats' 6-4 win at Denver on Saturday, Downing got UNH on the board 56 seconds into a Lowell power play at 9:43 into the game. Kevin Goumas found Downing at the blue line for a breakaway, and Downing beat Lowell goalie Doug Carr for his sixth of the season.
It was the Wildcats' fourth shorthanded goal of the season, compared with just two power-play goals allowed. The UNH penalty kill was ranked second in the nation behind Dartmouth going into the weekend.
Downing struck again at 16:49 of the middle frame, staking the Wildcats to a 4-0 lead and making it look like another blowout of the River Hawks was imminent. Downing, left all alone in front of the net, took a pass from Austin Block from behind the net and stuffed it into the goal.
"I could have closed my eyes on that second one," Downing said. "Austin made an unbelievable pass. He had three guys all over him. I just happened to be there for him."
It was all the insurance the Wildcats needed, and they needed most of it. Lowell cut UNH's lead in half with a goal by Shayne Thompson at 19:58 of the second period to make it 4-1 and one from Michael Colantone at 7:10 of the third to make it 4-2.
"It wasn't pretty there," Umile said. "We kind of almost let them back into the game. But I thought we came out and played a better third period. (A) couple of goals we gave up, I didn't think we were playing very smart at that point... But we'll take the win."
Jeff Silengo and Nick Sorkin each recorded a pair of assists for the Wildcats.
After UNH took a 1-0 after one period, the Wildcats went up 2-0 at 2:16 of the second period on John Henrion's fourth goal of the season. Goumas got in on the act at 15:18, scoring on the Wildcats' second power play of the evening.
"It's not good enough against the No. 2 team in the country," Lowell coach Norm Bazin said. "They're finishing on their chances and we're obviously pushing. And it just wasn't going in (for us), that's for sure."
Carr (21 saves) was pulled after two periods and replaced by Connor Hellebuyck, who made eight saves in the third period.
Block put the exclamation point on the win when he scored a fabulous goal at 17:15 of the final frame, following his own rebound with a shot from the right wing into the far side of the net, top-shelf over Hellebuyck's left shoulder. That gave UNH a 5-2 lead and sent most of the crowd heading to the exits.
The game was undeniably testy with a number of scrums, including two big ones in the game's final minute. A total of 13 penalties were handed out in the final frame, including six in the final minute.
"There was a lot of stuff going on," Umile said. "But hey, the guys are battling. It went both ways."
UMass-Lowell (4-6-1, 2-5-1 HE) 0 1 1 — 2
First period: Scoring: UNH-Downing (Goumas, Kostolansky) 9:43 (sh). Penalties: L-Arnold (slashing) 5:42, UNH-Sorkin (tripping) 8:49; L-Wetmore (Interference) 16:30; N-Downing (slashing) 19:37.

DescriptionIn this game, the player takes the role of Adol (Aron in the English-language Sega Master System version) Christin, a red-haired adventurer and expert swordsman. One day he encounter a fortune teller who sends him on a quest to find information about the six books of Ys. It appears that there was once an ancient land called Ys, whose secret was sealed in those six books. Before long Adol learns that the six books were all stolen by the evil wizard Dark Fact (Dulk Dekt in the Sega Master System version, Malificus in the English-language computer versions). It is Adol's task to defeat the villain and discover the secret of Ys!
Ys: The Vanished Omens is an action role-playing game with its own trademark combat system: instead of pressing the "attack" button, the protagonist simply runs into the enemies he encounters. More damage is inflicted upon the enemies if Adol charges at them from the back or from the sides - a head-to-head collision might result in the hero's death if the monster is stronger than him. The player gains gold and experience points for defeating foes; once enough experience has been accumulated, Adol levels up and becomes stronger. The hero can buy and equip swords, armor, shields, and other accessories.

So, the more Brian McNamee opens his mouth, it becomes less clear who's more of a horrible human being. Is it the opportunisitic "trainer" who ratted out his clients who gave him a career? Or is it Roger Clemens, so deluded by his own legacy that he's absolutely convinced himself that he did nothing wrong?
The latest McNamee bomb alleges that Rocket encouraged his wife to zap herself with some HGH right before her Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue shoot in 2003. Writer Kathleen O' Brien dug up this little nugget from Debbie Clemens' website about her trepidation about posing for the issue:
Roger came to me one day and told me that we had been asked to do a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated. I had major anxiety! I was a 39-year-old mother of 4! Once I realized that this WAS going to be a reality, I decided I had to give it everything I had. My mind was set. I am not a risk taker, but have since learned that with great risk, sometimes comes great reward. The responses from that experience have been wonderful and I feel it was a turning point in my life. It's nice to have a goal for yourself and to see it through. The goal kept me motivated and focused. Using common sense and my ability to balance my life, I achieved that goal.
Well, the goal was achieved. She absolutely shreded herself for that photo shoot. However, with this latest allegation does this mean that Debbie Clemens lose her first ballot milf hall of fame credentials? She only has a few more years of eligibility.
