英列兵墳墓成景點 只因叫哈利波特

According to the on November 29, the grave of Private Harry Potter in Israel has become one of Israel's top tourist attractions thanks to the fact he shares his name with the world's most famous wizard。

The real Harry Potter left his family's home in Kidderminster to join the army in Birmingham in 1938. And he died in Israel in 1939 during an uprising。

Ken Potter, 77, was just six years old when his elder brother was ambushed and killed。

"Harry has never left our thoughts," said the former greengrocer, from Kidderminster, "I remember a policeman came to our door to give mum and dad the news. They were very upset but we didn't really know what was happening. We were just young kids and all I was bothered about at that time was going and playing. "

But despite his late brother and the boy wizard sharing the same name, Ken admits he has never watched the films。

And he said, "It was my sister's son who first found out about the interest in his grave about three years ago while on the internet. We couldn't believe people visit his grave, but apparently they come from miles around to have their photo taken next to it."

據英國《地鐵報》網站11月29日報道，列兵哈利•波特在以色列的墓地成爲當地一個著名的旅遊景點，這是因爲他和世界上著名的魔法師同名。

1938年，哈利•波特離開位於基德明斯特的家中，來到英國伯明翰，參了軍。他是在1939年以列色戰爭中死亡的。

波特的弟弟肯•波特現年77歲，當年波特遭伏擊身亡時他只有六歲。

曾經是位蔬菜水果商的肯•波特如今還住在基德明斯特，他說："哈利從來沒有離開過我們。我記得，一名警察到我們家中，告訴媽媽和爸爸這個消息。他們非常悲傷，而我們不知道發生何事。那個時候我們都是小孩子，我所關心的僅是跑來跑去玩耍"。

儘管去世的哥哥與紅遍全球的魔法師"哈利•波特"同名，但肯•波特卻從未看過 "哈利•波特"系列電影。

"我姐姐的兒子3年前首先在網上發現人們對哈利的墳墓發生興趣。我們無法相信人們參觀他的墳墓，不過顯而易見，他們從數公里外過去，站在墓旁拍照",這位老人說。
