[Harry Potter] As the series progresses, is Harry still as famous as he was in his 1st-2nd year for being The Boy Who Lived?

When Harry was just starting at Hogwarts and knowing about the magic world almost every person who saw him made a big deal about him like he was a celebrity in the same level as Lockhart, especially in his first 2 years of school. 

Does this still happen after that? 

Was people still reacting to him the same way in his later years or even after that?  


Side question: How these people new how Harry looked like?? He lived secretly with his family and didn't go out during his childhood so just a really few people new where he lived and later when he was not there he was in Hogwarts. The legend only said that he had a scar in his forehead and that scar was covered by his hair most of the time.

His fame tends to grow, to his detriment. In the first book, it's just him being the focus of everyone in his school and the only time we've seen him mentioned by non-students or staff are at Diagon Alley and when Mrs Weasley tells her kids not to harass Harry.

In the second, he's strong-armed into a photo-shoot by Gilderoy Lockhart. He's also the victim of some unsavoury rumors as a result of the Heir of Slytherin nonsense.

The third book, things are rather quiet. It helps that the staff are trying to shield him from the knowledge of Sirius Black's association with his parents.

From the fourth year onwards, things go completely to shit. He cannot hide from the press anymore due to the fact that he's in the Triwizard or Rita Skeeter's blatant libel (not helped by the fact that he openly told her to get stuffed so she put out hit pieces on him) or the accusations of cheating levelled against him by the rest of the school, and now everyone wants to know more about him.

From the fifth, his reputation is utterly ruined due to Skeeter's lies during the previous years or the Ministry's slander, but he's successfully vindicated inside the school due to Umbridge's utter tyranny showing the students that the Ministry has something to hide, some violent crimes which everyone is noticing (such as the murder of Igor Karkaroff, former Death Eater and head of Durmstrang) and - by year's end - evidence that Voldemort was indeed back.

Harry's reputation is back to being a prophecised hero in his sixth year, but he's actively against being used in propaganda by the Ministry who are trying to white-wash the abuses they levelled against him last year.

Then he's a pariah again due to Voldemort's taking over the Ministry, but everyone knows that it's bullshit and are actively supporting him.

Then, when the dust is cleared, he's more famous as an adult than he was as a kid.
