Harry Potter from the Harry Potter series is a famous bearer. He suits the name- in the first book they complain how much his hair grows!
I'm surprised no one mentioned Harry Houdini, arguably the most famous stage & influential stage magician of all time. We could also throw in famous 1930s song writer Harry Warren & silent comedian Harry Langdon. In America, Harry was a very popular name in the 1920s and 1930s particularly, if you look at pop culture. I named my son this, so, obviously, I like the name.
Harry Mason is the protagonist in the video game "Silent Hill". He also makes brief appearances in the second (depending on the ending) and third games.
Let's not forget Harry Osbourne from Spiderman. It's funny, because everyone, when they hear the name Harry, automatically thinks of Harry Potter. Even though Harry Potter is one of my favorite series, the first thing to pop into my head is Harry Osbourne, a second before Harry Potter.
There is also a newsreader on Channel 10 in Australia named Harry Potter. I find it very amusing when he signs off every night...'This is Harry Potter for Channel 10 news'. The poor man!
