J.K. Rowling reveals that there is a second Harry Potter.

The 51-year-old author posted the new information on 'Pottermore', a fan site on which the British girl regularly updates Stories and background knowledge from the world of the sorcerer's apprentice revealed. Now she reveals that there was already a Harry Potter before the chosen one - namely Harry's great-grandfather Henry Potter, called by his friends Harry, who worked on the magic magic from 1913 to 1921. On the website, Rowling wrote: "The Potter family is a very old family, but they were never mentioned in magic history (until the birth of Harry James Potter)."

Henry Potter, like his great-grandson, was an advocate of Muggle rights. He is said to have campaigned for them during the First World War. The website says: "Henry caused a scandal when he publicly condemned the then Minister of Magic, Archer Evermonde, for forbidding the magical community to help the Muggles during World War I."

Henry has a son named Fleamont, who married Euphemia. From this marriage comes son James - Harry Potter's father: "Fleamont and Euphemia lived long enough to know that their son James married Muggle-born Lily Evans. However, they no longer met their grandson Harry of her advanced age. James Potter then inherited Ignotus Peverell's invisible cloak. "
