* [[J. K. Rowling]] confirmed in an interview that, yes, she named Filch's cat Mrs. Norris after the [[Complete Monster]] Mrs. Norris from ''[[Mansfield Park]].'' This would seem to require in-universe that Filch is a [[Jane Austen]] fan... |

** Probably unintentional, but Hufflepuff Zacharias Smith should not be confused with a more lovable dirty coward, who both older and a Doctor. [[Lost in Space|Doctor Zachary Smith.]] |

** It's got to be a coincidence, but the murderer in the 1933 [[Ellery Queen]] short story "The Adventure of the Seven Black Cats" is named Harry Potter. His name is, in fact, the last two words of the story. |

* The [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] Eighth Doctor Adventures feature a character named Trix MacMillan. Sound familiar? It's almost exactly the same as the real name of Trillian from [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]: Tricia McMillan.

As Trix MacMillan is merely an alias, this may in fact be a case of [[Character Name Alias]], although this is never brought up by anybody. |
