* ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]''

** "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" was incarnated into the real world by the good if twisted folks at [http://www.jellybelly.com/ JellyBelly] as part of the promotional build-up to the [[Harry Potter (film)|~~film version]] of ''[[~~Harry Potter]] and the Philosopher's Stone''. It helped that they'd already made plenty of bizarre jelly bean flavors—all they had to do was make all the gross ones.

** Chocolate Frogs and Caramel Flies now exist as well, although the frogs are just Pop Rocks in a frog-shaped shell, which come with holographic trading cards.

** In another ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' reference, King's Cross train station in London now has a sign for "Platform 9 3/4", as well as a luggage cart half-embedded in a brick wall at which tourists can take pictures.
