The Harry Potter suite originated owing to an observation and nickname conferred by frequent flyers due to its unique location. Someone with an apparent affinity to Harry Potter observed that out of the 14 first-class suites nestled into the front of the lower deck, one high-walled haven, dubbed suite 2F, bears an uncanny resemblance to an imperative Harry Potter element.
