Published in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, '''Harry Potter''' was a series of novels by British author [[J.K. Rowling]] which were extremely popular and spawned a series of film adaptations. The novels chronicled the early life of a young wizard as he was groomed to defeat an evil warlock.

*In ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles]]'', written in 2005, a character picks up a copy of the last Harry Potter book in [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], before replacing it next to its "ten other sequels." While this can be seen as an anachronism -- possibly the author was unaware Rowling only planned to publish seven books -- it should be noted that since the publication of book 7, ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', Rowling has not dismissed the possibility of writing more Potter books in the future; perhaps in the Whoniverse she (or someone else) did in fact write additional volumes. It also should be noted that the title ''Deathly Hallows'' is ''not'' mentioned in ''[[The Shakespeare Code]]'', so the Doctor could just as easily be referring to Book 11, although Martha probably thinks he means Book 7.
