I was out for a drink after work last night with a few programmer-y types. It was, of course, Halloween, and about half the people in the bar were in costume.
So, a girl comes up to me, and says "Harry Potter, right?" No, this is just the way I look naturally...
I'm not quite sure if it was just an unkind joke at my appearance or if she really thought I had dressed up as Harry Potter.

I once got accused of being Harry Potter by a group of French schoolchildren outside the Long Room in TCD simply because I was wearing a long black coat and otherwise looking as I normally do as I rushed from somewhere to the library with a pile of books. I suppose the best we can do is take it as some sort of backhanded tribute?

So you had a wand shoved down the front of your pants? Create a compliment where you can.
I didn't laugh at that - honestly I didn't ;-)Incidentally if you want to see someone who REALLY looks like Harry P look up the Dutch prime minister Jan-Peter Balkenende
