Carol responds:
Even the educational TV show "Nova" had a Harry Potter reference. Last night I was watching an episode about the evolution of flowering plants. One of the scientists was excited to find mandragora fruit, which he had been looking for for a long time, and referred to the plant as "mandragora, made famous by the Harry Potter series" (or Harry Potter books, I forget his exact words).
I didn't laugh, of course, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Carol, who always associates mandragora (mandrake) with John Donne
