Harry Batt just doesn't sound catchy in the least. Maybe it's because we're used to Harry Potter, but I can't imagine a book series named Harry Batt being taken seriously. It sounds like something from a childrens book about a hairy bat that they named Harry Batt.

And speaking of changes, do you think anything would've been changed if they named him Harry Batt? Like maybe his personality or something? Because in my mind, that would bring along a lot of changes.
