Potioncat:
I just finished "Emma" and highly recommend it. The Shippers in our
group as well as the Anti-shippers would particularly enjoy it. The
main character spends far too much time "shipping" and the results
are well...

The most obivious Harry Potter connection is the vast number of
characters who aren't quite what they seem... or who aren't what Emma
thinks they seem. I don't want to give too much away. (Don't read the 
last page first, like I did.)

And the part that is straight out of HBP, or perhaps reflected "Emma"
in HBP is when Emma and Mr. Knightly are discussing a letter. I
forgot to mark the chapter and can't find it now. At any rate, the
two are arguing about the handwriting and what it says about a
person. One character thinks the handwriting looks like a woman's
because it is so small. The other insists it is small but strong. It 
reminded me of Harry and Hermione arguing about the HBP's handwriting 
in the Potions book.
