Characters' names in HP

[branquignole]

Clearly, Mrs Rowling was very inspired by Normandy. I don't believe she was on the train to London when she came up with HP anymore. I mean, seriously.

This is Percy.

And this is dear Vernon.

Of course, there are also villages called Le Repas (which means "the meal"), but Percy and Vernon were the ones that made me suspect something. Honestly, JKR, I'm not buying your London train story!

Oh, who would have thought that Vernon can look so nice? I couldn't find any photos of Percy, but that might be due to my poor French.

I couldn't find any photos of Percy, either. Maybe it's just not such a touristic attraction as Vernon. ;)
