Potter Mentions Elsewhere

Have you ever been watching a TV show and they'll all of a sudden make a reference to Harry Potter? Or perhaps in another book? Post your findings here.

I noticed it three times when watching Buffy. Firstly, Buffy is talking to her mum about going shopping at the magic shop, and taking Dawn for school supplies. Dawn says something along the lines of "I'm not going to Hogwarts."

Second time is when Willow's in England and she says something like, "I thought you were bringing me here to kill me, instead you go all Dumbledore."

Finally, Andrew says something like "What kind of name is the First? Villains should have cool names like Lex, or Voldemort."

Of course, there's a huge mention of it in The Devil Wears Prada film and book - where she has to try and get an unpublished copy of the book to her boss's children.

And my favourite one of all - in Doctor Who series three, The Shakespeare Code, the Doctor makes reference to reading the seventh book (this was before it was released) and then later on Martha uses Expelliarmus to defeat the witches :D

Anyone else got anything?

On wizards of waverly place. Justin adn Alex has to go to a school called Wiz tech. And they have to wear those big glasses and wear a robe that looks like hufflepuff and she says Justin looks something like Larry or Barry or Idk It'll come to me. And the headmaster acts like Dumbledore but his name is Crumb.

and in Hannah Montana. (a eisopde yet to come out ive seen in on youtube) she tells them she lived in England and the rich trashy ppl asked her were she went to school and she said Hogwarts.

It was mention in Charmed when Piper and Leo were trying to name their son Wyatt. One of Piper's sisters said a name or something and Piper said 'It's kind of hard letting go of the name I decided on.' and Phoebe said, 'Well Prudence Melenda might get him in trouble at school.' and Paige said, 'Well he can zap them onto the roof like Harry Potter would.' Phoebe said, 'How about you name him Potter.'

I was recently reading the third book in the Maximum Ride series (I think it was in the third) and Max, the main character, made a refrence to it. here, I will post the sentence:
"It was like Harry potter escaping for the Dursleys. Only, the Dursleys could follow me and were about ten times more evil with unlimited funding and a giant lab of scientific horror behind them"

It was somthing like that. haha. idk. haha.

Al Gore: As I discuss in my book Earth in the Balance, and the more popular Harry Potter and the Balance of the Earth, we need to protect ourselves against the greenhouse effect and dark wizards.

Hurley about Sawyer's new glasses: Dude! Looks like someone steamrolled Harry Potter!

And then in loads of talkshows, really.. :D FUN STUFF xD

It's mention in the books "Kiss" and "My sister jodie" and then there is a rather rude reference to it in "The 40 year old virgin."

It's was in Eastenders, when Ian was going to send his daughter Lucy to a boarding school and she yelled at him
