This is a question Mistaken Identity

Well, if you dress anything like him, you probably deserved it, but who have you been mistaken for/mistaken other people for?

I look remarkably like Harry Potter
And have, especially when passing through King's Cross Station in my travels, often been commented on for this.
Most people say I look much more like the wizard than Daniel Radcliffe, who plays him in the films.

This all isn't very interesting, except for the fact that I went to school with Daniel up until before upper sixth.

He never properly admitted the better likeness, but appreciated how the younger kids would occasionally mistake me for him in the corridors, allowing him to get away without being bothered. He hated being called "Harry Potter" all the time as he just wanted to lead a normal school life and branch out into other parts later - he was a decent chap.

Now, just to clear up a few rumours about his time at our school which I hear time and time again:
We didn't ever lock him in a cupboard and tell him to "magic his way out"
We didn't lock him on the Art building roof with a broomstick and tell him to "fly his way off"
He didn't get a B at Drama A-level. He didn't take Drama, but 4 other AS-levels, got 4 As and quit before his last year to go filming. In fact, the cheeky sod used to mail in his homework from his accommodation at the film studios and get it in before the deadline, whilst we handed ours in late and got berated by the teachers. He didn't have many friends at our school - probably wise considering the people who'd try to abuse it - but we weren't arses to him!
