seriousficScuttled: Harry Potter/Doctor Who crossover.
Davies even had a meeting set up with Rowling to discuss her appearance in the show. So why did the J.K. Rowling star turn fall through? David Tennant (who actually appeared in a Potter movie as Barty Crouch Jr.) scuttled it, insisting that it would be too spoofy. Davies apparently bowed to Tennant's will because "we've got to keep him happy."
Man, how OTT do you have to be when David Tennant tells you you're too spoofy? That's like William Shatner saying you're overacting. Still, it sounds like it would've been fun (assuming it wouldn't have ended with J.K. Rowling being cheated out of her book proceeds so the Doctor could CRY MOAR), although I don't know if we're ready for an RTD version of gay Dumbledore.
