JK Rowling IS Joss Whedon

Have we ever seen them in the same room? I ask you!

Go read barbed_whispers's wonderful analysis on "Harry the Voldemort Slayer"

Summary: Hokay so, I recently came to the shocking realization that Buffy the Vampire Slayer had seven seasons and Harry Potter will have seven books and these two fandoms have a ridiculous amount of overlapping fans, so clearly there must be some correlation between the show and the books. So, I decided to plot out exactly how the two are related in a season by season (book by book, whatever) examination, and then I predicted the future by looking at season 7 and what that means for book 7.

Is so good.

Well, we know that Joss is a big HP fan. He has Buffy say things like "Don't go all Dumbledore on me".

Joss Whedon is my god. As such, I read Harry Potter. See how it all works out?

Oh, I love this! It actually also illustrates how formulatic with plots both Joss and JKR are (aren't all writers?). However, Joss does it in such a way that it doesn't feel formulatic, where as with JKR it's more obvious.

well, Joss does crazy shit. Like punking us with "Hey, Buffy's got a sister!"

Well, that was neat. Those are all things I sorta noticed but didn't really pay much attention to.

Thanks for reccing that! Too funny. You know, I never realized how how coincidental all of that stuff was. *shakes head* And I thought I was the biggest Buffy/HP geek ever.
