Harry's Nimbus 2000 was destroyed by the Whomping Willow following a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. The match was the first Harry played during his third year at Hogwarts (November 1993) and took place in Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry fell of his broom when dementors guarding the school invaded the Quidditch pitch. The severe weather conditions meant that his broom was then blown into the dangerous tree.
He isn't. Harry Potter is a seeker in quidditch, the sport played by witches and wizards in his world. Seeker is a sports position. One could argue that he is a seeker in his life as well. He does seek the Horcruxes in the seventh book, after all.
Go go gryffindor! Go go gryffindor! Go go gryffindor! Go go gryffindor! Etc :D
Fans have puzzled over this issue for years. J.K. Rowling admits that she's not good at mathematics, so there are some inconsistencies. There are about 40 named students in Harry's year, which, assuming his year is typical, would suggest that there are about 280 students in Hogwarts. However, a Quidditch match in the third book mentions that there are 200 Slytherins in the stands, which would make the overall student population something like 800. Rowling once said there were 1,000 students, but admitted in a later interview that that number made no sense and amended it to 600.
Because Harry is having Vision problems because his glasses are getting covered by water, Hermione then used a spell on his glasses so they would repel water.
