Harold Lee is a fictional character appearing in the film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle and its sequel Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.
[edit] Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle
Harold Lee is in his 20's, and a slacker who hails from Northern part of New Jersey. Harold's best friend & roommate, the free spirited Kumar, is not afraid to let go of his inhibitions, making Harold the symbolic personification of the suppressed Asian-American employee and student in the United States. Harold, at times, lets go of his inhibitions, but only during moments of extreme duress, to the point where he amazes even the free-spirited Kumar. Harold is the yin to Kumar's yang, with the both of them being united through their enjoyment of cannabis smoking after a long day's work and or leisurely fun (such as aboard an airplane in the sequel, and an after work "Friday night special" in the first film).
Harold's romantic life centers around John Hughes like fancies (as is evidenced by his infatuation with film classics such as Sixteen Candles). Harold thinks that he'll wind up with a similarly repressed Korean-American young woman--Cindy Kim--who isn't as repressed as he thinks, ironically enough. The true object of Harold's desire, however, is his Maria Quesadilla (played by Paula Garces) , who lives across the hall from him in his building.
