Harald is a frost giant who took Sam al-Abbas and Magnus Chase fishing for the world serpent Jormungand.
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard[]
The Sword of Summer[]
Utgard-Loki tells Magnus to find Harald and ask for the 'special bait' to fish what he thought at that time as a sea monster, so that they can get Ran's attention. Magnus and his friends encountered Harald at the pier and requested that he take them fishing. After Sam paid a Red Gold as advanced payment for their expedition and promised 5 red gold afterwards, Harald allowed her and Magnus to come but not Hearth and Blitz because Blitz was already starting to petrify, and Harald thought elves were useless in his boat as they were creatures of air and light. They set sail to Massachusetts bay and threw in the bait. Before long they got a bite. Harald pleaded with Sam and Magnus to cut the line but they did not. Jormungand then surfaced and then Ran appeared soon after. After the demigods retrieved the sword Harald set sail for shore. Sam made sure he left them in Midgard rather than Jotunheim.
Abilities[]
- Cryokinesis: As a frost giant, Harold has some control over the cold.
Trivia[]
- In Norse mythology, Thor went on a fishing trip with a giant named Hymir. The part where Magnus goes fishing is similar to Thor's experience, Harald plays the role of Hymir.
