'''''Harry Potter''''' was a series of ten [[book|novels]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)}}) written by [[British]] authors [[J.K.

Published in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, '''Harry Potter''' was a series of novels by British author [[J.K.

[[Ross Lee (in-universe)|Ross Lee]] watched an episode of a parody of Harry Potter titled [[Potter Puppet Pals]].

*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]]'', but the Doctor refers to it as "book seven" and not "the last one". Another way of reconciling the anachronism is if you consider that there are seven books in the main narrative series, plus two books, ''Quidditch Through the Ages'' and ''Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'', which Rowling wrote for charity sale for Comic Relief, plus a short prequel that was written in 2008, the last one perhaps being a future story not yet released.
