I beg to disagree, as portuguese. Harry Potter is not brit, he was born in
Portugal (JKR said she'd had the idea for the books in Portugal!!!), and
according to our laws, anyone born in portuguese soil is
portuguese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And since JKR interviews can be considered canon, this is true!!!!

There.

BTW, maybe that's where Harry was for those 24 h... I vaguely recall a baby
at our house for a day...

  A word of explanation for those outside Britain:

  A few months ago, the BBC did a whole series about "The Hundred Greatest
  Britons" based on a survey run through their web site. (Churchill won):
  http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/programmes/greatbritons/

  Not to be outdone, as I type, Channel Four are showing a hight-hearted
  programme of "The Hundred Worst Britons" (based on a survey run through
  their web site a while ago). Guess who's at Number 35? None other but a
  certain fictional teenage wizard!


http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/microsites/G/greatest/britons/resul
  ts.html was meant to have the list up by now, but it seems they're late...

  (I only caught Number 35 because I was watching something else and
switched
  over during a commercial break).

  The reasons were particularly stupid, from "encouraging witchcraft" to a
  film reviewer I've never heard of complaining that he couldn't watch the
  whole of the first movie in peace because of the kids in the audience...
