Real-life Harry Potter Not Happy with Fame

Harry Potter of Portsmouth, England was born in 1989 and had eight years of peace before J.K. Rowling wrote the books that would make him miserable.
He said: ‘No one ever believes that I’m telling the truth about my name. I had to show my girlfriend my passport, my bank card, and my driving licence to convince her that I wasn’t lying.
‘Even getting my season ticket for Portsmouth FC was a bit of a pain – I’m a massive football fan, but I had problems at the ticket office.
‘First they didn’t believe that my name was genuine, and when I convinced them, they thought it was hilarious. It’s never-ending.
‘I play a lot of football as well in a local league, and the match reports are always full of puns – ‘Harry Potter cast a spell on the opposition and that kind of thing.’
The real Harry Potter also has a scar on his forehead like the book character, and is the same age as Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Potter in the movies. Link -via Unique Daily

If he REALLY hates it (which I doubt) he can change his name to Henry or get over it. Some people have actual problems.

I was thinking the exact same thing dragon … except my idea was to use Harold

My second son, born in 1979, was named Michael, cause his brother liked the name. Unfortunately, our last name is Jackson. At that time, the Jackson 5 were forgotten act. Didn’t bother him until the last 10 or so years when MJ’s notoriety surfaced. As a child, he learned to moonwalk, and later , even took the email name of ‘one glove’

Michael: Yeah, well, at least your name isn’t Michael Bolton.
Samir: You know, there’s nothing wrong with that name.
Michael: There *was* nothing wrong with it… until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent ass clown became famous and started winning Grammys.
Samir: Hmm… well, why don’t you just go by Mike instead of Michael?
Michael: No way! Why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.T. Ryan
What a whiner! My name is Tom Arnold. Try going around hearing “how’s rossanne” all your life.

I knew a kid in Jr. High named Gandalf Grey. His middle name was The so he couldn’t use that. Poor kid.

So sad, how would you like to have a famous name like Michael Myers (or Mike Myers)like me.
Get a life and have some fun with it.

“I had to show my girlfriend my passport, my bank card, and my driving licence to convince her that I wasn’t lying.”
How long had she been his girlfriend before he bothered to tell her his name?

@Waitwhat
Thumbs up for the Office Space quote!

I would be embarrassed by having ANY anglo-saxion/caucasion sounding name to begin with.
SenorMysterioso
embrace it Mike… there is a major league pitcher named Mike Mayors who used to come out to the theme from Halloween when he pitched here(Colorado)

I suspect he is just after publicity on this to get in on the cash cow of his name. I wouldn’t be suprised if a lawsuit will soon follow.
Larfin Jackarse
Well my real name is Barack Obama. I was mightily annoyed when …. ok I am making that up.
Sindigo
My real name is Steve Davis. Not usually a problem, apart from when I’ve tried to join Snooker clubs. Though I never introduce myself as Steve except at work.
Ant Dude
My name is John Doe. It’s annoying.
Stabitha
Aw, life is hard.
Again, if it bothered him that much he could change it. Think of all the new name possibilities!
Another Tim
I know woman that, because of her odd first name, uses her middle name–so she is named Linda Lovelace.
dalucero
Doesn’t he kinda look like the son from Wedding Crashers?
Noelegy

samd
