Woman's Harry Potter-themed name 'ruined her life'

A woman has revealed that she hates the Harry Potter-themed name her mum gave to her.

Sharing her frustration on Reddit, and asking other users if she was being unreasonable, the user, who did not reveal her name, gave examples of how Harry Potter and other huge franchises have ruled her life. She explained that her parents met through an online Harry Potter group, and named her and her siblings after Harry Potter and Star Wars characters, reports the Mirror.

She claimed the family are forced to watch the films every year at Christmas and for birthdays, and all of their birthdays are centred around their parents' favourite 'nerdy' franchises like Harry Potter, Star Wars, and the Marvel films. In her post, she detailed an outburst at her parents, calling their interests 'boring'.
