AtDTDA: (8) 230 Heaven Preserve King's

In all honesty, I think there is. One of the Potterisms occurs just four 
pages later, where Lew follows Neville (recall, BTW, that Neville Longbottom 
is one of Harry's best friends) and Nigel into a hidden alley in London:

"Lew followed them through a narrow passageway next to the shop, leading 
back to a mews entirely invisible from the street, whose clamor back here 
had become abruptly inaudible, as if a heavy door had closed." (AtD, 234)

Is this Diagon Alley? a-and is that Hagrid standing right over there, in the 
shadow?

Then, of course, there's the fun with fezzes on p. 832, where Bevis and 
Cyprian switch fezzes (to no avail: they still won't fit the heads of these 
hapless infidels): "The fez knows," said Danilo. "You cannot fool the fez" - 
just as you cannot fool the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter novels.

Finally (?), Yashmeen at one point wishes for a particular magical item to 
supplement her Snazzbury's Silent Frock:

"What I really need is a cloak of invisibility to go with it," she supposed. 
(AtD, 716)

- Give Harry a peck on the cheek, and he just might lend his to you...
