Harry Potter movie makes trouble
Harry Potter fans worldwide are eager for this week's opening of the movie adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. But the hype that accompanies each book and movie in the series is a headache to a Maryland man named Harry E. Potter. (Maryland has or recently had at least three Harry Potters, 16 Hermiones, 3 Siriuses, 13 men named Snape and 15 women named Narcissa.) The Baltimore Sun's Mary McCauley explains it all in a story; here's an excerpt:
It isn't enough of a coincidence that he shares a name with the most famous literary character on the planet. He would have to have a scar on his forehead, starting between his eyes and snaking up his forehead in a line - just like the boy wizard created by J.K. Rowling.
"Oh my lordy Hannah," says the real-life Harry E. Potter, 76, of Leonardtown. "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."

It can be frustrating sometimes when people mistake you for someone else.

I agree , my parents are just so anal about anything dealing with wizardry and magic. "Dragons , Sorcerors, and elves are of the devil and will not be worshipped here!!"
I mean come on, I couldn't even watch pokemon! ...but that didn't stop me from reading the harry potter books , which I think are alot better than the movies in my opinion. Alot more detail.
