Actual conversation

Colleague 1: "What are you working on right now?"

Me: "A progress report for Dr. X"

Colleague 2: "I don't think I know Dr. X, what does he look like?"

Me: (Thinks) "Harry Potter"

Colleague 1: "OHMYGODHETOTALLYDOES!!!"

Colleage 2: "Oh, that guy! Yeah, I know who he is!"

  1. Hehe! I know a guy who looks like Harry Potter, but he's in England, so probably not the same guy, so nevermind...

  3. Alyssa, I bet it's quite a common look!

    Chall, it made me laugh!

    Nina, I Googled him and you're so right! He's closer than Dr. X facially, but Dr. X's hair is more Potter-like.

  4. Try googling the Australian prime minister. He's the love child of Harry Potter and Draco Melfoy.

  8. well, Dutch prime minister had a haircut not long after he became prime minister and the Harry Potter comments started ...
    I'm not familiar with Harry Potter I must admit, and also not too much with Dutch politics at the time, but I am sure that prime minister could learn from Harry.
