This question suddenly came to mind. HP is an acronym were expected to know, but what does it really stand for?

Hewlett Packard was the first thing that came to mind.

But in this instance I guess I think hit points first.

Harry Potter. Between "Health" and "Hit" points, though, I'd definitely vote for "Hit"

I thought of Harry Potter, but of the presented options it's Hit Points

I've played too many games where the H in HP stands for Hit instead of Health, but MP is usually Mana over Magic Points as well for MP.

I actually thought this was what the question was about at first. The HP in HP sauce stands for Houses of Parliament fwiw. That's why the image is on the label.

My thought was the sauce then Harry Potter.

It still has tremendous cultural cache. It's getting a new TV series. Also the discourse about JK Rowling and the series are still going strong
