Each time a new Harry Potter book or movie is released, a 78-year-old man from Bradenton, Florida is inundated with interview request calls because he happens to share the same name with J. K. Rowling's fictional character. The retired Defense Department employee from Zaleski, Ohio, doesn't seem to be a fan of the boy wizard, as he hasn't had time to read any of the J. K. Rowling books or see the five hit movies. Potter, who often gets interview requests from the TV networks and autograph requests, says he has not been able to keep his phone off the hook since past few weeks. His wife Jan often jokes with the late night crank callers telling them he (Potter) is "busy, out flying. "

A 2-year-old cat from Providence, Rhode Island is making news for his unusual ability to predict the death of patients. Oscar the cat curls up next to the dying patients during their final hours, usually meaning they have less than four hours to live. According to hospital doctors, Oscar's ability, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. AP quotes Dr. David Dosa as writing in the Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, "He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die. "
