ResumoObserving the delivery of the infant Harry Potter to his Muggle aunt and uncle at the beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Hogwarts professor Minerva McGonagall predicts, "I wouldn't be surprised if today was known as Harry Potter day in the future--there will be books written about Harry--every child in the world will know his name!" (13). What a remarkable coincidence it is that McGonagall's prophecy of "books written about Harry" is uttered in the first book to bear Harry's name! But it wasn't long before the appearance of books about Harry with names other than "J. K. Rowling" on the cover.
