"Harry James Potter.
The wizarding world mourns the loss of Harry James Potter, who passed away in his sleep last night at the age of 127. Potter, most famous for his brilliant defeat of the Dark Wizard Voldemort in 1997, went on to lead the Chudley Cannons to their first winning streak in almost a century. In 2035, he became one of the most popular Ministers of Magic in history, a position he resigned in 2050. He made great strides for magical tolerance and unity, creating the International Wizarding Alliance, the Werewolf Rights Act, and the Commission for House Elf equality. Until 2075, he held the post of Headmaster at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He spent his retirement living with his wife and children in his family home.
Potter's family has announced that his tomb shall bear simply his name, and a quotation from his famous speech before the first meeting of the Alliance. 'In the darkest of days, it is never enough to simply wait for the night to pass. We must press ever onward, seeking the light cast by those who have gone before us.'
Harry Potter is predeceased by his parents, Lily and James Potter, his godfather, Sirius Black, his wife, Virginia Potter, and his daughter, Catherine Marie Potter. He leaves behind 11 children, 37 grandchildren, and 52 great-grandchildren. The family asks that memorials be made in the form of donations to St. Mungo's hospital for magical maladies."
