Harry Potter's kids!?

Question

Did Harry ever tell them he was famous?

The quote "Why are they all staring?" and Rons reply confused me.

But wouldnt James know because he had been at Hogwarts a year?

And as if harry wouldnt tell them his story! Because I know he felt left out not knowing who he was when he started!

Any evidence?

Thanks

Answer 1

After Ron says that, they all, (including Rose, Hugo, and Lily) laugh. So I'm guessing they knew. Even if they didn't, they would've found out from friends or in the Hogwarts library. I bet Harry just mentioned it in passing.

Answer 2

Yeah, I see what you mean. HP would be in all sorts of books in the library, wouldn't he?

Perhaps Albus demanding "Why are they all staring?" was him just being a child and seeing his future as the son of a famous wizard. Also, Ron's reply was acknowledgement that he was always HArry's friend, never the hero.

(Not that I've thought about it, or anything!)

Answer 3

Like Luthien T says!! They all laughed after it so they will have just been joking. Im sure harry did tell them he was famous!!

Answer 4

I don't think he would have told his kids. Maybe they did eventually find out, but Harry was never an attention seeker. So I doubt he would have told them unless they asked, and I don't think he saw an immediate need to. Dunno what happened with James there... I'll actually have to go reread that. But as far as I can see he didn't tell them.

Hope this helps =)

Answer 5

Ron was just having a laugh when he said that and personally, I think its a minor plot hole. Harry must be the most famous wizard of all time after the Voldemort thing so his son is bound to know he's famous.

Answer 6

i'm sure harry told them some of his story, but being modest and believing it is all luck didn't let them know the extent to which he is famous. Ron's reply was sheerly for comedy value to remind the kids of the story.
