From Bradenton Herald
Bradenton's Harry Potter is suddenly in big demand. Profiled in Wednesday's Herald, the 78-year-old has been inundated by media outlets hither and yon. Would you believe, Geraldo, too? "But that's not the best part," said Potter's amused wife, Jan. One of the calls she took was from the author — J.K. Rowling. "When she identified herself, I went, 'Oh, suuure,' " Jan Potter said. "But it was her. She was calling from England." Rowling told her she wants to host a gathering for all of the real-life Harry Potters. It is tentatively set for December in either New York City or London, and Rowling will pick up the tab for everything. Now our Harry Potter needs to renew his passport. Which ought to be fun. "I can see it now," he said. "I go to the courthouse, tell them I would like a new passport. And my name is Harry Potter." All the red tape will disappear.
