How a touch of magic took Wallaby Harry Potter from Moorabbin to the MCG
On Saturday, Harry Potter, born in British, will step into MCG to represent Australia’s Wallabies against the British and Irish lions in front of a crowd of 90,000 people.
However, a few months ago, Potter secretly joined another Melbourne Rugby field, even though it was much smaller with equal enthusiastic fans.

In April, 27-year-old Moorabbin made a surprise visit to Rugby Club-here At the age of 10, he moved from England to Australia after he moved as a young.
Club President Ian Nathan, Potter’s Moorabbin’s young teams fell to help three of the young teams, he said.
Nathan said, “It is surprising that the men of the caliber fall,” Nathan said. “Although Melbourne does not have a rugby, it gives children the chance to see that we have men representing all the places of the world for Scotland, Samoa, Japan and Australia.”
Nathan, Potter spent time with young people and said to them, “If you work hard, you can do anywhere,” he said.

“I think it’s great that these kids hear, Nat Nathan said. “You don’t have to grow up to four feet to play … One of the great things about this rugby, because it appeals to all shapes and dimensions.”
Nathan remembered Potter’s early days in Moorabbin that he showed “signs of being a really good player”. The inevitable magician punks and magic jokes rose after returning home. (The first JK Rowling book was published before coming to a literary Juggernaut and the film Franchise in the year Wallaboy was born.)
