The real Harry Potter(s)

While I did stop to think about the many Potter families who will have babies and never name them Harry thanks to the Harry Potter books, I never considered the difficulties of the real live Harry Potters already in existence. An article at UPI.com features a 76-year-old Harry Potter:

"Oh my lordy Hannah," Potter said. "You have no idea what it is like to have this name. Just 15 minutes ago, I got a phone call from some girls who were about 13 or 14, and who giggled a lot. And you cannot be rude to them, you know that? You cannot be rude.

"That J.K. Rowling owes me something. I'm not sure what, but she owes me."
