Men named Harry Potter tell their stories

Ivy sez, “How many Harry Potters do you know? Abebooks has tracked down people with the same name as J.K. Rowling’s famous wizard –- from a criminal lawyer to an avid scuba diver — and listened to their stories.”

Harry Potter from Michigan
A former Latin teacher, Harry introduces himself as Harry when he’s in a good mood and Harold when he’s not. A fan of fantasy novels, Harry started writing his own stories in 1989 – eight years before the first JK Rowling book.

Harry from London
A barrister in criminal law and part-time priest, Harry says it is beneficial having such a famous name. He even owns a priceless hand-written letter from JK Rowling addressed to Harry Potter.
