A Real 'Harry Potter'

Several media outlets, including the official Harry Potter Twitter account earlier today, have picked up a story originating from The Daily Mail about a guy named Harry Potter. He isn't too happy about sharing the same name JK Rowling's main character holds:

Mr Potter said: 'When I got my job in the bank, they couldn't believe that I was telling the truth on my application form.

'I'm the only person in the building who doesn't have to use my full name when I'm talking on the phone.

'Beginning a phone conversation with the mention of my name is never a good start - it distracts people too much.'

And while the young stars of the film series have snapped up a string of multi-million properties, Mr Potter will be happy when he and girlfriend Philippa Hall, 18, manage to buy their first house together.

Is this guy just looking for attention, or is he really upset? Would it bother you if you were named Harry Potter?
