Where did J.K. Rowlings get the name Harry Potter from?

We were surfing channels this weekend and an old movie from 1986 was on...Troll starring Michael Moriarty.

What caught our ears was when the mother yelled at the son...

Harry Potter Jr.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092115/

Just an interesting observation.

up.. she had a big lawsuit against her by an author that had a very, very similar book...
Included names like 'muggles' and everything....

But Nancy Stouffer says she should get credit for the creation of Harry Potter; she argues that J K Rowling lifted ideas from her 1984 book The Legend of Rah and Muggles, which includes a character called Larry Potter. Muggles is the word wizards use for humans in the Harry Potter books, but Nancy Stouffer says she coined the term; she says she has a character called Lilly Potter in her novel; there's a Lily Potter in J K Rowling's books. Trademark - Muggle She also also claims to own the trademark to the word muggle
