==Behind the scenes==
[[File:Snake (basilisk) Harry Potter.jpg|thumb|left|The snake in ''Harry Potter'', according to [[George Thompson]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|My Special Book (short story)}})]]
=== Trivia ===
[[George Thompson]] believed that the noise that the [[lift]] made ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|My Special Book (short story)}}) in the [[Rowbarton Estate]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Night Terrors (short story)}}) was actually a [[dragon]] or a [[monster]], living in the walls like the snake in ''Harry Potter''. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|My Special Book (short story)}})
*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. Interestingly enough, Rowling has written three companion works to the series and has stated in the past that she will write a Harry Potter Encyclopedia. If she writes this book and makes no more additions to the Harry Potter universe there will indeed be 11 Harry Potter books though they will not all be novels.
*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 the seventh book, was broadcast before the book was published, during a period of intense anticipation of 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 played Kazran Sardick in the [[2010]] [[Christmas]] Special, ''[[A Christmas Carol (TV story)|A Christmas Carol]]''.<ref>[http://gallifreynewsbase.blogspot.com/2010/07/guest-stars-confirmed-for-christmas.html Guest Stars Confirmed for Christmas]</ref>
*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.
*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>
*Harry Melling, who plays Dudley Dursley in the film series, is the grandson of [[Patrick Troughton]]. However he never met him, as Patrick died before he was born. [[David Troughton]] is his uncle.


===Actors who have appeared in Doctor Who and Harry Potter===
When [[Clara Oswald]] pointed out to three incarnations of the Doctor that their meeting couldn't happen due to a [[fixed point in time]], the Tenth Doctor said "one point to the girl from [[Gryffindor]]." The [[Twelfth Doctor]] rebuked this, saying that she was [[Slytherin]] "all the way," and that he meant it as a compliment. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Four Doctors (comic story)}})
