I heard there were lots of Harry Potter references in this. Is this true? If so, what are they??

Haven't seen the films lol

When I rule the world I'll plant flowers : )

A young bureaucrat is called "Harry Potter" by one of the characters. And someone (the British UN ambassador, I think) is referred to as "Voldemort."

I just watched it today... My friend and I are pretty sure he called the man BALDemort. Which is even better. =D

Baldemort. Isn't that Liam Byrne MP's nickname?

No, he's called "Ron Weasley".

No, he's not ever called Harry Potter. Only Ron Weasley.

In the beginning, one is reffered to as "Ron Weasley".

There is also a Lord of the Rings reference in the end, where Toby is called "Frodo" by the general.
