J.K. Rowling revealed there are two Harry Potters and we're in total shock

J.K. Rowling, kween of Twitter, loves dropping bombshells for her Harry Potter fans from time to time.

The latest will make your jaw drop and shake your fists in the air.

In a recent Pottermore entry, the writer explained that in her magical wizarding world there are technically not one, but TWO Harry Potters.

Yup, you read it right: TWO HARRY POTTERS! And the original one was Harry Potter's great-grandfather! This is too much.

Long before our lightning-scarred friend with spectacles, who casually is the Chosen One or the Boy Who Lived, there was another Harry Potter who lived in the beginning of the 20th century.

As Rowling wrote:

Henry Potter (Harry to his intimates), was a direct descendant of Hardwin and Iolanthe, and served on the Wizengamot from 1913 - 1921.

Henry caused a minor stir when he publicly condemned then Minister for Magic, Archer Evermonde, who had forbidden the magical community to help Muggles waging the First World War.

His outspokenness on the behalf of the Muggle community was also a strong contributing factor in the family’s exclusion from the ‘Sacred Twenty-Eight’.

The 'Sacred Twenty-Eight' are the families that were still "truly pure-blood" by the 1930s.

Henry/Harry had a son who was called Fleamont Potter, who married Euphemia, and together they had a son, named James.

The couple lived long enough to see James marry a Muggle-born girl called Lily Evans, but not to meet their grandson, Harry.

So how should we refer to Harry from now on? Harry Potter II? Harry Junior?

Up to you, JK!
