The two Harry Potter references in The Shakespeare Code are quaint now, but it's funny to imagine that the Doctor is a Time Lord, he's read all the books, and yet somehow missed the person that the author became not long after. I don't blame him tbh, nothing worth remembering after that.

It's a big universe, he can't be expected to know everything.
idk, the idea of "witches" who derive power from words used in the right combination is a cool ass idea and it makes sense they would flock around William Shakespeare haha.
oh i agree, that idea is brilliant! its a shame its wasted by an incompetent, transphobic writer tbh.
"wait, who wrote this episode?" looks up The Shakespeare Code on Wikipedia. Taps link to Gareth Roberts' page. "Ah. Mm."
Well at least that makes the Rowling connection rather ironic.
