Potioncat:
I felt very uncomfortable in church on Easter Sunday. We were singing a 
standard Easter hymn and I kept thinking, "This sounds like Harry's 
story." I felt compelled to bring myself back to the here and now and 
away from the Potterverse.

...or in past tense I guess it was the "there and then."
So I agree with Geoff.
