Have a link to a very amusing cross-over: Harry Potter and the Harry Potter films, by minnow_53.
... it occurs to me that if TMS was on telly, not radio, it would have a massive RPF fandom, a la Top Gear: it's full of surreality and banter, and generally feels as much like eavesdropping on people in a pub in a parallel universe as it does like sports commentary as such.*
(If there is TMS slash out there, I don't think I want to know).
* I'm now vaguely reminded of Herbert McCabe OP on the Trinity:
Think for a moment of a group of three or four intelligent adults relaxing together in one of those conversations that have really taken off. They are being witty and responding quickly to each other – what in Ireland they call ‘the Crack’. Serious ideas may be at issue, but no one is being serious. Nobody is being pompous or solemn (nobody is preaching). There are flights of fancy. There are jokes and puns and irony and mimicry and disrespect and self-parody … Now this child is like us when we hear about the Trinity.

What was really disturbing was Geoff Boycott's threats of magical violence against young Mr Radcliffe. I am now having visions of Geoff Boycott as the new Dark Lord (having bored the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors into submission...)
