Behind the scenes
- The idea of Wizards being from Mars and Muggles being from mushrooms may be referential of the phrase "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus," which was used as the title of a best-selling relationship-advice book by John Gray, and has since passed into popular culture. There is also a wizarding book titled Wizards Are from Neptune, Witches Are from Saturn.
