What Odds Royal Baby Named For Harry Potter?

William Hill online sportsbook has adjusted its odds on what William and Kate will call their baby, following a visit by the royal couple to the set of the Harry Potter studio in Herfordshire.

Royals meet Potter

Prince William, Duchess Kate and Prince Harry this week joined J.K. Rowling and hundreds of children at the official inauguration of Warner Bros Studio in Leavesden, about 20 miles north of London. The tour included a behind-the scenes look at the new The Marking of Harry Potter attraction.

Kate, who is close to seven months pregnant, was highly visible during the tour, according to news reports. And with the date of birth approaching quickly, speculation is mounting not only about the baby's gender, but also about what name the couple will give to a possible future monarch.

At time of writing, William Hill had installed Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny at 100/1 odds. However, these Harry Potter-themed named are still well behind favorite Alexandra, 7/4, and Elizabeth, 5/1, Diana, 11/2, Victoria, 6/1, Mary, 10/1, George, 14/1, Alice, Frances and Grace, all 16/1.

Other William Hill specials on the royal birth are: date and day of birth, hair color, method by which Kate will give birth (Caesarian, 1/2, natural birth, 6/4), and which magazine will get the exclusive rights to publish the first pictures (Hello, 6/4, OK, 2/1, Vogue, 4/1, Now, 5/1, Closer, 25/1, Cosmopolitan, 50/1, Nuts/Zoo, 100/1).
