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

    The Dutch prime minister also looks like Harry Potter, no joke!

    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.

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

    Yeah, I could nominate my own posts and comments, and buy myself a present! Wooooo!

  9. Nina says:

    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.

    I'm sure all politicians wish they could do magic!
