== A Very Potter Musical ==
* Would you believe that a [[High School Musical|Zac Efron]] poster figures heavily into the plot?
* The musical sting from ''[[
* "Aren't we an [[The Odd Couple|Odd Couple]]!"
* [[The Empire Strikes Back
* Voldemort's pre-''Avada Kedavra'' speech to Harry is straight from the finale of ''[[
** Ginny tells Harry, "We kissed at the Yule Ball, and, well, I thought we were going to be together forever.... but we're not." This is almost identical to what Aang says to Katara in The Ember Island Players (though he refers to the invasion of the Fire Nation).
** And the scene when Ron and Hermione first kiss is the scene between Aang and Katara before the fire nation invasion where Aang kisses Katara. The dialogue leading up to the kiss is almost identical.
* Voldemort (in the Zefron poster) shouts "You gotta get'cha head in the game, Weasley!" which is a reference to a ''[[High School Musical]]'' song, "Getcha Head In the Game". And no, I am not ashamed to know that.
* "How many times do I have to kill you, boy?" from their second confrontation is a direct quote from ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''.
* When Harry and Ginny are dancing they quote from ''[[Anastasia]]'', "We've stopped spinning."

* [[Jurassic Park|"Dragons don't wanna be fed, they wanna hunt!"]]
* Goyle's big scene is a shout-out to ''[[Billy Madison]]'': "Oh, Goyle rules!"
* When questioned about Snape, Dumbledore recites a variation of what the soldiers in ''[[The Manchurian Candidate (novel)|The Manchurian Candidate]]'' were programmed to say about Raymond Shaw.
* [[Word of God]] says that "Voldemort is Going Down" was originally meant to be modeled after "Now or Never" from ''[[High School Musical]] 3'', complete with basketball showdown. The creators have said they are [[High School Musical]] fans.
* And, of course, a lot to the ''[[Harry Potter (
* {{spoiler|Dumbledore}}'s will also contains shout outs to ''[[Charlie and
* "Because I'm worth it." (Lóreal.)
* The title references ''[[The Brady Bunch
* "It's like the movie ''[[She's All That]]''! Do you remember? We watched that together."
* In the background of one scene, Goyle does that... ''thing'' the Globo Gym Cobras do in ''[[
* Goyle seems to be channeling [[Revenge of the Nerds|Ogre]] when growling "NERDS!"
* Draco's rolling around on the floor could be seen as a reference to Fitzwilliam from ''[[The Big Gay Sketch Show]]'', also an English schoolboy (and coincidentally also played by a girl).
** It's more of a [[Shout
* One Death Eater's nickname for Dumbledore is Bumblesnore, which sounds suspiciously like "[[Pokémon
* Harry and Ginny's {{spoiler|and Ron and Hermione's in AVPS}} romance is compared to [[Spider
* The guitar intro to "Granger Danger" is exactly the same as the intro to the [[
* Several times, you can hear lines sung to tunes from ''[[Wicked (
** The melody of "To Dance Again" is also identical in tune to "Wonderful" at the beginning of their chorus part.
{{quote|
'''Voldy''': To dance agaaaaaiiiiin. }}
* "Never tell a girl you like her, it makes you look like an idiot" could be a reference to line by Daniel Desario in an episode of [[Freaks and Geeks]].

* "[[Napoleon Dynamite|It's probably the best I've ever done]]"
* Ron eating in every scene is reference to the 2001 version of ''[[
* "Maybe you just have to fight Mushu from [[
* "I'm gonna curl up in my sock drawer and sleep for days" is paraphrased from [[
== A Very Potter Sequel ==
* [[Shout
* Upon seeing Umbridge for the first time, Ron remarks that [[Batman (
* When commenting on her (faux) repulsive ugliness, Lupin calls Hermione [[To Kill a Mockingbird|"Boo Radley"]].
* [[It Makes Sense in Context|Hedwig]] tells a distraught Draco that "...another talking animal once said, ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (
* When telling the other kids an [[Urban Legend]] about Sirius Black, Seamus claims that Sirius killed Flitwick's little brother when he was [[IT|hiding in a storm drain, dressed as a clown.]]
* When teaching the students about Patronuses, Lupin tells the children that they need a happy thought, which they reply in unison ''[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|"Any happy little thought?"]]''
** In the same scene, Lupin complains that the DADA textbooks are so old, they still refer to "Dementors" as [[The Lord of the Rings
* Lupin lists the rival houses for Gryffindor: Slytherin, Ravenclaw and [[Pokémon
* ''[[
** "That's rough, buddy."
* "Get those happy thoughts ready and don't cross the streams!" is another ''[[
* When Umbridge reads {{spoiler|Dumbledore's}} note to her:
{{quote|
* Although he doesn't make any direct references, Lucius Malfoy appears to be modelled on Jareth from ''[[
** [[Word of God]] says this was an intentional reference
* The voice Joe Walker uses for Umbridge sounds like the one [[John Travolta
** Her inflections also resemble Carol Channing.
** She also licks Lavender Brown's tears like Eric Cartman did in [[South Park
* Ron and Harry's first Red Vines conversation, which cements them as best friends, is a riff on a conversation with the exact same structure and purpose of bonding in ''[[Step Brothers]]''. The variation is that here, each question has the same answer.
* The running joke of Lupin and Sirius sniping over who really was James's best friend seems reminiscent of Barney and Marshall doing the same thing (over who is Ted's best friend) on ''[[
* At one point, Dean says [[Serries/Diffrent Strokes|"Wat'choo talkin bout?"]].
* Umbridge first scene references ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', with the sound of her footsteps proceeding her appearance. This is also a reference to Mad-Eye Moody's entrance in ''Goblet of Fire''.
* The patronuses are Harry's stag, [[Star Wars
* Cho telling Lupin "I could have been your greatest adventure" was lifted straight from ''[[Indiana Jones and
* Scarfy sounds a lot like Paul Lynde.
* Umbridge tells Harry to [[Happy Days
* Calling Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans "candy beans" is a reference to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrdEXDW8m0c this scene] (among others) from ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''.
* In "Harry Freakin' Potter," when the cast sings the word "superstar," they all fall to one knee and throw the peace sign in the air with both hands, much like [[Superstar
* One from the other musical [[Team Starkid]] did, [[Me and My Dick]], when at the end {{spoiler|Sirius says he's always wanted to see Venice, just like The Old Snatch, the character Nicholas Joseph Strauss-Matathia played in the other musical.}}
** Also: The pizza box with a hole in it? Anyone else getting MAMD Flashbacks?
* The paintings on the third floor. "The dogs playing poker peed on the carpet! The screaming man has never looked so terrified! It took the entire last supper to calm him down!"
* Also, am I the only one who thinks that the scenes where Lupin walks around naked is a [[Take That]] to ''[[Twilight (
* Possibly a coincidence, but the central plot is rather similar to the 2009 ''[[Star Trek (
* When Harry says that "you can't have more than two friends", it's very similar to a line said used [[Freaks and Geeks|Sam Weir]] to justify not wanting to be friends with Cindy after she initially appears to reject him.

* Neville claims the doe Lupin killed was [[Bambi (Disney film)|Bambi]]'s mom.
