Austin Lemieux can relate to Harry Potter.
Both had fame thrust upon them at an early age, not of their own doing although there is that whole killing curse rebound thing off Harry thanks to his mother's sacrifice.
"You've made a mistake. I can't be a wizard," the 11-year-old Potter tells Rubeus Hagrid, who was sent to deliver him to Hogwarts. "I mean I'm just Harry."
And Lemieux is just Austin, not his father Mario, chosen in 2017 as one of the NHL 100 greatest players and current owner of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
