Boy Meets Harry Potter Conspiracy?

Watching the first Harry Potter movie, the main characters remind of a TV series that was popular in the 90's when the book series began, Boy Meets World.

I don't know if J.K. Rowling ever watched the American TV series that aired for seven seasons from 1993-2000.  However, Harry Potter could be the wizarding version of Corey Matthews, and Hermonie could definitely be like the early know it all, Topanga Lawrence.

Once you get to Ron Weasley, he's not quite the loner Shawn Hunter.  However, Ron and Harry certainly got into a lot of trouble together, as best friends, like Corey and Shawn.

From there you can make connections between other characters.  I think Hagrid could be the next door neighbor/teacher Mr. Fenney, since Corey learned as much from him outside of the class room.

Perhaps the world will never know if there is any connection, but if Harry Potter the next generation comes out, and it follows the set up of Girl Meets World currently on the Disney Channel, we might have some more evidence.

Lake Shawnee Amusement Park and Disney's River Country

Sunday, I saw on the Huffington Post that a hiker ran across a town that was abandoned supposedly 100 years ago.  At the bottom of that story, there was a link to a story about the Lake Shawnee Amusement Park that shut down and abandoned in the mid 60's.


Robert Hogue has an album on Flickr which includes the theme park.
It might sound like an episode of Scooby Doo, but this amusement park was built on an ancient Native American burial ground and after several accidents it was closed.  Check out the article from roadtrippers.com for some creepy photos of this abandoned theme park.

After seeing this story, I searched for other abandoned theme parks, and I learned about Disney's River Country. It was shutdown and abandoned about a decade ago.

Adamthewoo on YouTube posted a video back in 2010 of he and a friend sneaking into the abandoned park which still has music playing.
