    I have never read Harry Potter, but I have held a slight resentment for it ever since the first movie. I had a similar, but not quite as bad, haircut as Harry and similar, but not quite as bad, eyeglasses as Harry at the time that the movie came out.

    The last time I went out for Halloween, I went dressed as a samurai. Pretty authentically, in fact, with the hakama and haori and all but with the exception of having a bokken (wooden practice sword) instead of an actual katana. This was a couple of years later, I think.

    Multiple people asked me if I was Harry Potter.

    I could not express my disappointment.

      I had so many people point at me and say “look, it’s Harry potter” to their kids whenever a movie was in theater.

      All I had was a scar and a bad haircut. No glasses at all.

      If I were older, I’d definitely go out of my way to make them feel bad for pointing out something I was self conscious over like it’s some kind of costume jewelry.
