Oh, that's a shame about *looks up name* Roger Lloyd-Pack. Because I would have been whispering, 'Go on. Do it. Tongueflicktongueflicktongueflick.'.
'Harry, we mustn't be seen!'/'Rose, don't touch the baby!'
Yes, both DW and HP are, as has often been said, placing the normal beside the subnormal, and subverting things. Hence the twirly Christmas tree. The feeling of both is very similar. Just when Dumbledore makes his first ever entrance, white beard and robes swishing, he starts handing out sweets. Just when Doctor mark 10 has finally arrived to save the day, he starts spouting the Lion King.
A JKR episode would have been fantastic, but I think because they are so simliar people would have said things like 'oh, she's just stealing ideas from HP.' I'd quite like to read some sci-fi by her, I think she'd do the light stuff like DW very well.
