How did Harry Potter end up to be Harry Potter?
Did you ever wonder how JK Rowling came up with the name of the main character in the Harry Potter series?
There’s an interesting discussion on this very matter over in the Veritaserum forums; here’s what the top opinions are so far:
- The name came from a neighbor family down the street.
- The name was intentionally insignificant for a boy who would go on to decidedly significant things.
- Just a random idea.
Have you ever read anything on this? How do you think JK Rowling came up with the name of Harry Potter?

There was a 1980’s movie “Troll” that had two characters named “Harry Potter, Sr” and “Harry Potter, Jr”. Maybe she saw that movie?
