Recently viral Harry Potter fact sounds too unrealistic to many Potterheads–except those who truly focused on the main storyline.

Think about the most famous teenage fan-favorite characters to ever be created, and the first name to pop in most minds would be that of Harry Potter. A wizard created by J. K. Rowling and played by Daniel Radcliffe in the movie series, the young lad has been ruling the hearts of young and adult audiences alike from all around the world for more than two and a half decades, what with his exceptionally unique personality.
Harry Potter
Despite having been initially created in 1997 in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, fans still can’t get enough of the boy who lived, and looking back, have been doing some digging about the same. This led to the realization of one unrealistic fact about the titular character, which fans claim evidently lets out that the character and his story have been, in fact, created by a woman.
Unrealistic Fact About Harry Potter Is Breaking The Internet
Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
The die-hard fans of the chosen one; those who have read and re-read all the books from the Harry Potter book series and have watched and re-watched all the films a thousand times as well must be well versed with almost everything about the wizarding world that Potter lives in.
However, even then, most must have still missed out on one major and incredibly unrealistic fact about the boy who lived, that was recently pointed out by @DrakesKeeper on X: that despite being tremendously rich and famous, Potter only ever got around with 2 women in his entire life—something that fans believe makes it clear that the story has been written by a woman.
Harry Potter was young rich and famous and only had s-x with 2 women his whole life. You can tell a woman wrote that story.

To explain it more clearly: both James Potter and Lily Potter had left their son an enormous fortune (as written and shown in the books and movies as well), thus, he was considerably rich. Next, he was already renowned for having survived Voldemort’s deadly attack even as a kid, thus making him one of the most famous personalities in the wizarding world.
While it does seem unrealistic considering how popular characters like Harry Potter usually have more than just two girls they share a personal relationship with, it’s also necessary to note how the titular character had other more important stuff to do than pick up girls. Like fulfilling his prophecy and getting rid of Voldemort—as many Potterheads pointed out.
Fans Have Mixed Opinions On This Silly Harry Potter Fact
A still from Harry Potter
Keeping in mind how he was ‘the Chosen One’, many would expect Harry Potter to have at least more than two girlfriends, considering his popularity. So when he didn’t, some of the fans with this expectation couldn’t help but agree how it points out to the story being written by a woman, i.e., J. K. Rowling.
Others, in the meanwhile, have been defending Daniel Radcliffe‘s character while putting forward reasonable claims as to why his having multiple girlfriends in the series wasn’t necessary.
Here are some of the 263 comments on the X post from what Potterheads wanted to say, summing up all their mixed perspectives and opinions on this fact:
The fact that he didn’t end up with ermione made me understand that a woman wrote it

You forgot star athlete as well. He was a rich, famous, star athlete, nerd somehow.

If a man wrote it there’d be a book named Harry Potter and The Dufflebag of Ducats where all he does is stunt on Malfoy.

Ppl was trying kill that boy & all he knew was “expelliarmus”. Girls was the last thing he needed to be focused on

He didn’t have any game for real, tho. He only got with Cho because she was emotionally vulnerable and he literally only had Ginny because she threw herself onto him.

They had him living in a closet. Bro had to make his birthday cake out of dirt. His aunt and uncle was terrible to him

Since fans have mixed reviews on the situation and many are still sharing their perspectives, jumping to conclusions now about the fact would be a bit too soon. And anyway, judging from all these reactions from Potterheads, it seems this debate will be raging on for quite some time.
