Description
Edmund was born in 2004 to Kevin and Audrey Harmon. He was only one year old, when he witnessed with his father the imperfect temporary bio-emergence of Parrotmon into Los Angeles. His mother did not see, but believed that it really happened. The event led him and his father eventually to be chosen as members of the DigiDestined.

Despite his status of being son of Kevin Harmon and grandson of Robert Harmon, Edmund was raised to treat every human equally. They were living almost like normal people in Los Angeles, while Edmund's grandfather lived in Washington. Edmund became the youngest initial member of the DigiDestined, when he and his father received their Digivices along with four others. Edmund was more pacifistic than others, but his experience with Devimon made him traumatized and more willing to fight. After he met, Gia Avilés, a connection was created between them, through both the meaning of their Crests and their feelings to each other.

Digimon: First Adventure
The film describes how Edmund becomes a DigiDestined. He was picked up from school by his mother. But suddenly, the Bio-Emergence Fog appeared and the six Digivices emerge through it. Two of them are given to Edmund and his father. Later it is revealed that Kevin and Edmund had found two small Digimon named Mochimon and Tokomon on their home. Later at night, when Kuwagamon Bio-Emerges to the real world, the Harmons wake up and call the other four children to assist them. Their partners Digivolve into their Rookie forms, with Mochimon Digivolving into Tentomon and Tokomon Digivolving into Patamon, and they destroy a Black Gear controlling Kuwagamon who then returns to the Digital World. Kevin then asks the children to arrive into the Streamix building tomorrow. But in the morning, the Black Gears attacked them and disrupted the barrier between the real world and the Digital World. The five children were sent into the Digital World, and Edmund was sent with Patamon had ended up to a forest.

He was contacted through a mysterious DigiMessenger application by the four other children: Troy Dawkins, Seamus Maitland, Jake Thacher and Miyuki Koharuno. After receiveing instructions from his father, Edmund and Patamon explored the area and the next day, they arrived into the Village of Beginnings. They befriended with its caretaker Elecmon and were attacked by Leomon who was controlled by several Black Gears. Troy, Seamus, Jake and Miyuki came to his help, and Kevin managed to get into the Digital World too. After Leomon was free, he and Elecmon told the humans about the origins of the battles between good and evil in the Digital World. They decided to follow the evil tyrant of the File Island, Devimon and his evil forces to Kyoto, Japan. Edmund felt pressured a little bit, since Leomon had explained the youngest one of them was meant to defeat Devimon.

During the first phase of the battle of Kyoto, Edmund witnessed how Kevin, Seamus and Leomon were trying to destroy Bakemon forces as well as free Andromon and Teddymon from the Black Gears. After they were defeated, Troy's group arrived to join them and faced Devimon who had grown himself into large size. Leomon and the Partner Digimon were not powerful enough to defeat him. Devimon was about to kill Edmund, but Patamon stopped it and Digivolved into Angemon. Angemon, however, needed to be powered by the Digivices and use his life energy to destroy Devimon. They both died, but Angemon transformed into a Digi-Egg to wait for a rebirth. Despite knowing that his partner will be reborn, Edmund was traumatized of this. After Leomon had taken Angemon's Digi-Egg to Elecmon, Kevin decided to send Edmund to his grandfather to heal from his depression and sadness. After one month, he was starting adapt to his new environment and was still living there until he would feel his normal self again.

Eight months later, Edmund was not seen until the ending of the film. But he sent a message to his parents that he was going to return to Los Angeles after two weeks.

Three days after the other DigiDestined defeated a rogue organization named Webmasters as well as the new enemy Etemon, Edmund surprised others by returning earlier than he previously told. He also revealed that Patamon had grown up back into his Rookie form and that his Digivice had received an ability to his Digivice hto change forms between the Standard Digivice and D-3.

Digimon: The Third World
Two years later, while the other DigiDestined fought fighting against Mammon and successfully defeated him, Edmund wasn't there, since wasn't yet ready to let Patamon fight again. The next day, he and the other DigiDestined see the Dark Spires having appeared into the real world and is invited to the house in the Digital World where Benjamin and his colleague Gennai are hiding.

During the attack of Vamdemon's forces, Edmund allows Patamon fight again. On next day, he and the others decided to use the gate in Vamdemon's castle to travel to both the human world and the Dark Ocean. They meet a tortured Digimon named Tailmon who initially attacks the DigiDestined. Tailmon calms down and explains that she was just mad due to suffering she endured.

Edmund joins the group that goes into the Dark Ocean. He, along with his father and Miyuki, meets Dagomon, ruler of that world, who keeps a DigiDestined called Gia Avilés (whose Partner Digimon Tailmon is revealed to be) as well as Martin Harmon (Edmund's uncle and former Director of the Webmasters) as their slaves. Dagomon refused to free them and Edmund's group starts fight against Dagomon. After Aquilamon and Tailmon learned to DNA Digivolve into Silphymon, they were able to keep Dagomon occupied until they manage to escape to Paris, to confront Vamdemon.

During the final battle, Edmund and his father manage to find a connection between their D-3 Digivices to allow Ankylomon and Angemon to DNA Digivolve into Shakoukimon and help the other Partner Digimon to defeat Vamdemon. But Vamdemon drains the power of Dark Spires to be reborn as BelialVamdemon. Kevin witnesses how an orb full of energy given by the Digimon Sovereigns gives Agumon, Gabumon, Veemon and Wormmon to Digivolve into WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon and Imperialdramon. During the final battle against BelialVamdemon, Edmund was temporarily trapped into an illusion where he saw Angemon dying once again. But he and the others were brought back to their senses by Dan who was not affected by the illusions. After BelialVamdemon's body was destroyed, Martin committed a suicide while destroying his spirit. At the end of the summer, before the international speech given by his grandfather, he and the other DigiDestined attended Martin's funeral.
