* TheOtherDarrin: For all voices and reading of the audiobooks after ''Magyk'', which was read by Allan Corduner, who is known for numerous television roles, and has read audiobooks for several other popular titles. All later installments in the series were read by Gerard Doyle (reader of the audiobooks of ''Literature/InheritanceCycle''), and while he does a reasonable job, no attempt seems to have been made to emulate the voices used in the audiobook of ''Magyk'', and some, such as that of Marcia, are ''very'' different. Also, the ''[=TodHunter=] Moon'' books are this for everyone from the original cast, as they appropriately are read by a female narrator, Nicola Barber, because the main character in this series is female.

Transferred initially misplaced YMMV to here.

Added DiffLines:

* FollowTheLeader: Or InspirationForTheWork depending on the author's intention. Most obviously, Literature/HarryPotter:
** Septimus to Harry (VERY similar backstories, though the former's parents are still alive)
** Beetle and Jenna to Ron and Hermione (some aspects of the latter duo may have been switched around, making the "Ron" character (Beetle) the smarter one and the "Hermione" character (Jenna) part of a family with many siblings; also, the former duo don't argue as much)
** Marcia to Dumbledore and [=McGonagall=] (a mix of the two)
** the Heap family to the Weasely family (poor family of magic users with many children)
** Merrin Meredith to Draco Malfoy (social status aside)
** the Castle to Hogsmead
** the Wizard Tower to Hogwarts (and subsequently Septimus' seven years of education)
** the ghosts from both series (with varying rules of death)
** Alther to Dumbledore (again?)
** Turtius Fume to Severus Snape ([[spoiler:the former lacking the redeeming qualities of the latter, or at all]])
** [[spoiler:the Ring Wizards]] and maybe [=DomDaniel=] to Voldemort

needs to have same first and last names


* NamesTheSame:
** Petroc Trelawney, Jenna's pet rock, shares its second name with a character in ''Literature/HarryPotter.'' Reportedly, he was named after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroc_Trelawny a BBC broadcaster]] as a tribute.
** Similarly, there's an unfortunate MauveShirt in ''Darke'' named Bertie Bott. After being asked, Angie Sage confirmed that this reference wasn't intentional, noting that there were other Botts in past books of the series.

** The two are shown traveling together as companions in the sequel series, Wolf Boy now known as Marwick, but it's never really said that they're gay.

* WordOfGay: Angie Sage mentioned that Sam Heap and Wolf Boy are gay. During a Q and A with fans she explained it likely wouldn't be mentioned or shown due to the ages of the characters, but was interested in the possibility of showing it during a ten year time skip epilogue.
** Which creates some mildly unsettling implications for why Wolf Boy was able to gain the job of Keeper, generally a female-only position.
