* Peter Grant in ''Literature/RiversOfLondon'' frequently uses ''Harry Potter'' as an analogy, such as comparing the WizardingSchool his boss attended to Hogwarts, or calling a game where the players use magic to chuck tennis balls at each other "Pocket Quidditch".

Not the ''actual'' Hogswarts Express, because it doesn't exist.)
