Man, 78, gets a kick out of his Harry Potter fame
Harry Potter of Bradenton, Fla. gets phone calls from children and interview requests from TV networks. "The kids want to know if I'm Harry Potter," he says with a chuckle. "I tell them I've been Harry Potter for darn near 80 years!" (Bradenton Herald)

I've got a lightning scar. No, really, I do! They tell me I got it in an auto accident, but I don't remember it.

I bet this guy wouldn't enjoy it so much if his name was Adolph Hitler.

Did you see the disclaimer at the beginning of the book: "The character of Harry Potter was based on the life of stomper"

This is the 1% that I can't fit my sterilization theme in.

It's good to see our news media doing important news-worthy stories like calling and harrassing everbody named Harry Potter in the phone book.

It IS nice however that he has a sense of humor about it.
I was half expecting Mr. Potter to be suing Ms. Rowling as this seems to be a trend.

Y'know, all kidding aside, I love to hear about people like this guy. He has a sense of humor. Like Kghoti says, most people would get all mad, and go all Perry Mason or something, but Mr. Potter seems honestly amused by it all. I wish more people could have his outlook on things.

Hey Farmer Bob,
At his age, I don't think you need to worry about sterilization anyway.

BTW--your comment to Farmer Bob is a little inaccurate. Men are verile (capable of fathering) to their dying day, provided they have "lead in the pencil".
