A "real" Harry Potter

Did anybody happen to catch the news segment (I think it was NBC) about 
a real Harry Potter last night? It was a really cute feature, and I 
wanted to send the information to a few friends, but didn't pay close 
enough attention to "where" it came from. I just assumed that I'd go to 
the NBC web site, type in "Harry Potter", and that story would be one 
of my choices. It didn't work out that way, though. I've checked NBC 
national, my local NBC, and MSNBC (all online), but no luck.

I think he's an assistant principal at Hope High School, but I don't 
remember that for sure, and I'm not sure where the school is located. 
If anybody saw the story, or has an idea where I'd find it, please let 
me know.

For those who didn't see it (and assuming I don't find it), the story 
made comparisons between the Harrys. Both separated from parents at an 
early age, both "miraculous" survivors of "accidents" (though the more 
Muggle Harry's was a car accident). The man seemed tickled with the 
fiction, and had Potter Paraphenalia in his office (and a poster of the 
"other" Harry Potter on his wall). I thought the contrasts were great! 
Harry - the frail, pale, magical teenager in black robes - vs. Harry - 
the heavy-set black 30+ (don't intend to offend <g>) man in suit and 
tie.

Ok, I've rambled enough. Any help appreciated.

Magically yours,
Lady Leprechaun
