I rented a great movie last week, "Gone Baby Gone", and there is a scene where an older cop tells a young PI to "go back to reading your Harry Potter books."

This is the first time I've heard mention of our favorite cultural phenomenon in another film. Has anybody noticed any others? (film, tv, music) Because I'm sure there will be more in the future.

There were references in Dr. Who - the Shakespeare episode - before DH was released. He tells Martha "Wait 'til you read the book, I cried!" There is also the climax of that episode, which I won't say, in case someone hasn't seen it yet.

Oh yeah, I saw that episode last year - that was good - ingenious way of getting rid of those carrionite! Who knew Harry Potter could be so handy in Elizabethan times?! lol.gif
