....I see.  So, since the Harry Potter books do not detail the 
construction of King's Cross Station, it's not a correct analogy?

Okay, fine.  In one of the Harry Potter books, the head of the Ministry 
of Magic visits the new Prime Minister of England and informs him of the 
fight against the Dark Lord.

Since this Harry Potter book describes the Prime Minister of England at 
the time that he got into office and, since it coincided with Tony Blair 
getting into office, that means that Harry Potter is true?
