In New Moon, Harry is first mentioned when he and his family are at the spaghetti dinner at the Blacks' house with Bella and Charlie. That night, his wife Sue teased him about his cholesterol and unsuccessfully tried to shame him into eating something "green and leafy".

On the morning of Bella's cliff diving expedition, Harry suffers a fatal heart attack and dies. There had been theories regarding Harry's death, the first being that the sudden transformation of Seth and Leah into werewolves provoked his heart attack and subsequent death,[1] and the second being that their transformation was caused by the shock of losing their father. It was confirmed in The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide that it was Leah's unexpected transformation that caused his heart attack while Seth's transformation was caused by the shock of his death.

In the New Moon film, his heart attack was the result of an encounter with Victoria. He saw Victoria stand behind the unsuspecting Charlie and tried to shoot her, but she caught him before he could fire his gun. Jacob pushed her out of the way and Harry landed on the ground when his heart attack began. Charlie found him and tried to help him to no avail. Jacob later told Bella that he was 'gone'.
