Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermoine Granger are technically part of the Marvel Comics Universe as they made a surprise and a subtle cameo.
The Harry Potter series has captivated the hearts and attention of an entire generation, as the books and it's subsequent film adaptations have become modern classics. The characters are so popular, that they made a secret cameo in the Marvel Universe, as Harry, Ron, and Hermione appeared in the pages of Excalbiur.
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling is one of the best selling books of all time. The main series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has sold more than half a billion copies across the world. The book stars Harry Potter whose life turns upside down as he came to know he's a wizard and as he enters the magical wizarding world of Hogwarts and co-stars his close friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. The books have been adapted into eight incredibly successful films and multiple spinoffs. At the height of their popularity, Harry and friends made a cameo in the Marvel Universe.
In New Excalibur #3 by Chris Claremont, Michael Ryan, Rick Ketcham, Tom Orzechowski, and Peter Pantazis, the superteam battles with evil versions of the original X-Men squad. The book opens with an out of costume Juggernaut running through London, accidentally smashing into buses and cars as he's trying to track down the evil X-Men. After getting told to run down an alleyway, Cain Marko nearly runs into a group of kids. There's little doubt the kids are supposed to be Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Claremont and Ryan weren't exactly subtle about the cameo, as Hermione grabs Harry and yells his name as Juggernaut comes bulldozing down the ally. Ron asks, "what was that?!" as Harry responds, "dunno--but I'm glad it's not after us." There's little doubt the characters are from the world of Harry Potter: The kids are in London, they look exactly like their book/movie counterparts, and Hermione screamed Harry as Marko nearly ran into them. It all essentially confirms they exist in the Marvel Universe. Does that mean that a version of Hogwarts exists within the pages of Marvel stories?
