JK Rowling was suspected of loyalty to the royal family.
Thanks to the popularity of books and movies, Harry Potter has already become a household name. He is known even to those who have never met the story of a young wizard. But why the main character has such a simple name, unlike the rest of the characters, few people guessed about it. There were even suggestions that Potter was named after the British prince Harry – allegedly in this way the Englishman JK Rowling hinted at the popularity of the youngest son of Lady Diana.
But it was here for nothing. While writing the first book, the author remembered the name of the Potter family, with whom she lived next door as a child. And Harry is just her favorite male name of hers.
Also, there is another version of its origin. Fans of the saga believe that an outstanding wizard should have had an emphatically simple name to be closer to readers. This would prove that he is a normal boy under strange circumstances. But if the names John or James are still popular in America, then Harry is much more common in the UK.
