=== Trivia ===
*In real life, only seven Harry Potter novels (plus several shorter spin-off works) have been published. In [[EDA]]: ''[[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, likely 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 did in fact write additional volumes). It also should be noted that the title ''Deathly Hallows'' is '''not''' mentioned in ''[[The Shakespeare Code]]'', as the Doctor simply refers to it as "Book Seven" (in real life the title of the book was unknown at the time the episode was written). There is precedent for book series to be continued by other authors, i.e. Eoin Colfer's continuation of [[Douglas Adams]]' ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'' published in 2009.
*In [[2005]], [[Russell T Davies]] asked Harry Potter's creator [[J.K. Rowling]] if she would write for ''[[Doctor Who]]''. She refused, saying that she was "was amused by the suggestion but simply doesn't have the time."<ref>[http://www.starswelove.com/scriptsphp/news.php?newsid=4514&cfrom=m_49 J.K. Rowling Turns Down 'Dr. Who']</ref> She was writing the sixth Harry Potter novel at the time.<ref>[http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/2005a.html A Brief History of Time (Travel): Rose]</ref>
*In ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'', a Hogwarts-style uniform briefly appears as the Doctor considers what clothes to wear in his new incarnation.
*''[[The Shakespeare Code]]'', in which the Doctor references reading [[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|the seventh book]], was broadcast before the book was published, during a period of intense anticipation for its release. The Doctor doesn't mention the book's title, as it had not been revealed by the time the episode began filming.
*According to his 2008 autobiography ''A Writer's Tale'', Russell T Davies also considered basing the 2008 Christmas special around an appearance by Rowling.
*To date, the most prominent Potter films cast member to be connected to ''Doctor Who'' is Sir [[Michael Gambon]] (Dumbledore) who has been confirmed by the BBC as appearing in the 2010 Christmas Special.[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2010/07/guest-stars-confirmed-for-christmas.html]
*[[Roger Lloyd Pack]], who played [[John Lumic|the creator]] of the [[Cybus Cybermen]], guest starred in ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ''alongside [[David Tennant]]. The two played father and son. This film featured tents that were bigger in the inside, much like the [[TARDIS]].
*Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe, was a name thrown out by Russell T. Davies to play the [[Eleventh Doctor]].
*Other actors who have appeared in the Harry Potter films who have been considered for the role of [[the Doctor]] include [[Jim Broadbent]], [[John Cleese]], Robbie Coltrane, Richard Griffiths and Alan Rickman. Bill Nighy, who will appear in the yet-to-be-released final two ''Harry Potter'' films, was reportedly a candidate for the role in 2005 and appeared in the [[Eleventh Doctor]] story [[DW]]: ''[[Vincent and the Doctor]]'' as Dr. [[Black]].
*[[Zoë Wanamaker]], who appeared in [[DW]]: ''[[The End of the World]]'' and [[DW]]: ''[[New Earth (TV story)|New Earth]]'' as [[Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17]], also appeared in the film adaptation of ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone''; a copy of this book is visible in a display case seen in ''End of the World''.
*When filming [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|the 2005 series]] [[Russell T Davies]] commented upon the difficulty of finding little person actors for ''Doctor Who'' because ''Harry Potter'' and ''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'' were filming at the same time.<ref>[http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Dr+Who+is+hit+by+a+shortage+of+dwarfs-a0126913534 "Dr Who is hit by a shortage of dwarfs"] - ''Daily Record,'' 12th January 2005</ref>
