    He does specify student, but still certainly not the only one wearing glasses.

    Man this thread is not a strong showing for the reading comprehension skills of the community.

      Especially since the source material are books written for young adults.

    It’s clearly because there’s a common spell that corrects vision but everybody thinks Harry’s just making a statement or they’re too embarrassed to point it out.

    That’s what happens if you remove Percy’s glasses.

    One of my glasses wearing friends noticed the same thing at a 45000 people festival in Amsterdam. He was the only one.

    His eyes were probably damaged in the same attack where he sustained that cool scar.

        you’re right, so here is a possible quick-thought solution:

        his muggle parents wouldn’t have known that its possible to fix eyesight with magic (you can regrow bones or suddently make them vanish, right?) so he was the only student with limited eyesight who “needed” glasses. later he got used to it and didn’t even ask (not sure if that was discussed once) and maybe the teachers wear them for the effect only, but thats weird as glasses should be muggle artefacts - or not?

          Harry never had muggle parents. They went to Hogwarts.

            i’m sorry to have used the wrong word, i just happen to not know the english phrase and didnt look it up either before sending. i meant the “family” where he grew up.

            A past student is different from a student obviously. If you want to pull the “technically…” thing, you’ve got to go for something like “she’s a student of life.”
