| | |  J.K. Rowling is NOT searching for Harrys (UPDATED)
78-year-old Harry Potter from Bradenton, Florida, who is inundated with several calls a day whenever a new Potter book or movie is released, claimed to have received a call from none other than J.K. Rowling.
He said she was planning to hold a party for people named Harry Potter this December in either New York City or London.
However Scholastic have now confirmed that this is false and that Jo is planning no such event.
Thanks to Veritaserum for the correct information! | |

This seems a bit odd ... would JKR really plan something like that? I've heard stories about that particular Harry though, he seems like a neat guy, lol. He said he indulges the kids who call him, describing what sorts of magic he's been up to and stuff, lol. It's cute! And I'd love to attend that convention, if there ever was one. That'd be so odd to be one of those guys and to be in the same room with hundreds of people who have your name. |

I can see it now. I go to the courthouse, tell them I would like a new passport. And my name is Harry Potter.
Seriously, imagine now that the phone rings, you answer it and you hear:"Hello, I'm J.K.Rowling. Can I speak with Harry Potter?" 
EDIT: Too bad it's not real though.... Poor Harry Potters... no chance to meet Jo

The original information is false. The article has been updated to reflect this.

Aww, that stinks. Why would you say Jo had called you to plan a huge event when she hadn't? Good thing I didn't already change my name...  | |

That would really suck to be named Harry Potter. People would ALWAYS look at you funny.

I'm sure, had she been organising such a gathering, she would ensure that only genuine Harry Potters were invited.

Aww...*runs back off to change name again* . There's an hour of my life not being called Maddey that I'll never get back.
So was the guy making it up, or was it a rumor?

Rumours usually spring from many sources, so I think he made it up. If it was true, there would have been a press release and/or an official announcement, not an article in an obscure publication.
