required an apology.
Shouldn't being compared to Harry Potter be a good thing?

As I said in an earlier post, I also don't see the problem, the Dutch have been calling him Harry Potter since he took over.
That said, the more I think about it, the more I think it has a lot to do with the "slap in the face" he received by the Dutch voting to reject the EU Constitution. It was a very public example of some more internal problems going on with the government at the moment and the Dutch displeasure over it.
>From what I've heard from my in-laws, read through the papers and have experienced with regard to our posting here, he's having trouble getting his agenda through and while before getting compared to Harry Potter may have been a joke previously, it now underscores a lack of respect.
Just a theory.
