It isn't easy being Potter...

[Horst or Rebecca J. Bohner]

Just got this message from a friend of mine, an astrophysicist in his early
twenties who's working on his PhD, and it made me laugh so hard I just had
to share:

--------------

[...]

I refuse to read anything Harry Potter-related.  Last fall, I suffered the
ignominy of having two people unknown to one another independently accuse
me of looking like the brat.  Then, earlier this year, some alleged
'friends' were describing me to someone who they thought had probably seen
me around but couldn't put a face to the name.

"He's the one who looks like Harry Potter."

"Oh, _him_!"

I've found that if I let my (roundish) glasses slip down on my face a bit,
and if my hair just falls down unparted that day, the resemblance is quite
uncanny.  I look like just like he would at about 18.  (Which might
explain why I was carded the other day.)

*sigh*

This fall's going to be rough.

PS:

Just last night, I was at an impromptu party and was lying down for a
moment.

"Tough game of quidditch," someone said.
