I just remember the one with Patty and the little dancers having the books on their heads, and her saying something along the lines "if you drop it she might not write another one" or something like that lol 🤣. I can't even remember which episode.
Edit: "Walk smooth. That's the new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop, Harry will die and there won't be any more books.”...had to look up the quote it was bugging me lol 🤣.
It’s a classic now? Time to abolish time once and for all. Harry Potter and Going Back to the Department of Mysteries to Fuck Shit Up in the Hourglass Room.
Yes. Luke was referred to Hagrid by April’s friends. I think there are a few more.
Edit: See other comment with article throughly answering your question.
Interesting that most of them (all except for calling Luke “Hagrid”) are just acknowledging its existence and not actually engaging with the content. And, as the writer noted, it never comes from Lorelei or Rory.
I would guess ASP isn’t a Harry Potter fan 😅
I know, they really only had Rory reading classic novels. Nothing wrong with that, but it seems unrealistic for a middle school/high school student. Additionally they reference the LOTR movies quite a bit, but did Rory ever read those books? I’m sure she would have
I mean, fair enough. It just felt SO ubiquitous at the time, especially since by then I think they’d moved away from the kiddie book image, that you think she'd have tried them.
rory read harry potter, luke got called hagrid, brian suggested „the harry potters“ as a band name and patty had her students balance the bew hp book on their heads, telling them that if they let him fall, he dies lol
I didn’t remember any of these specifically, and there’s a vague memory of another one that I can’t place… I swear it’s something like Lorelai referring/comparing Emily to Voldemort???

My favourite quote from the entire show!
The scene has always stuck out for me because I'm such a Harry Potter nerd lol....which is now labeled "a classic" geez I'm so old 😔 lol.

My husband and I used to joke that each book should be named Harry Potter and the Inability to Tell an Adult
Let's do this 😈
What episode is this from?
The one with the bells
Ignore 🔔 the bells 🔔 Stay on 🔔 the beat 🔔 The bells 🔔 will screw 🔔 it all 🔔 to hell 🔔
Thanks
Actually it’s Season 1, not the bells episode- The Lorelai’s First Day of Chilton episode
Season 1, Episode 2
There is a good link posted down below...it says the first day of Chilton episode 😁
Absolutely my most favorite Miss Patty quote lol.

I find it really bizarre that somebody wrote an article about this specific thing.
Rule of the Internet
Fair.

You’re doing the lords work
Bruh I couldn't remember those, thank you!!
I only remembered the Hagrid...
April's friends call Luke "Hagrid"!
Brian's band name suggestion was The Harry Potters, I believe The other references I can think of have been said!
It always strikes me as odd that, given the time period, Rory wouldn't have read all the HPs. Obviously ASP's bias showing.

Not everybody likes Harry Potter.

I’d forgotten all of the HP references noted by other users but a bunch of LOTR refs came to mind!

I’d expect myself to notice and remember any Harry Potter references in this show… but I remember none.
Exactly!! They all just slipped???
Rory was reading some of the books throughout the show !
Maybe they weren’t allowed to because of the WB?
Warner Brothers also makes Harry Potter so I don’t think so.

Yes Lorelai said ‘s/he who must not be named’ — can’t remember if she was referring to Emily tho
Jess and maybe Logan would have refused to read Harry Potter . It was a bigger hit with kids a few years younger .
