Things in RL that remind you of HP

I did a search on the web about the Danish cartoons that started all 
the fuss in the Islamic world, and that search lead me to a series of 
pictures of the Queen of Denmark's recent state visit to Japan.

Her Danish Majesty, I would imagine, when young was a very beautiful 
woman.  Even at her present age she is quite distinguished-looking; 
she is certainly tall.

The pictures in question included one of her standing next to the 
Emperor of Japan.  Now, His Imperial Japanese Majesty is not exactly 
short by Japanese standards; yet, seeing him standing beside a 
Scandinavian woman, my first thought was, "Mme. Maxime & Dumbledore!"

Have any of you had the experience of seeing something in real life 
which immediately made you think of something in HP?
