I think you’ll laugh when you read the letter. Believe it or not, there’s a real Harry Potter in the world. It’s said that it’s a lot of trouble being Harry Potter, esp. when you’re a 78-yr-old man and you happen to share the name of a world-famous boy with magic power.
The real Harry Potter often gets phone calls from both children and TV stations. “The kids want to know if I’m Harry Potter,” he says with a smile. “I tell them I’ve been Harry Potter for nearly 80 years!”
However, the real Harry Potter says that the Harry Potter series isn’t his cup of tea, and he doesn’t care if he’s famous or not.
