Keep in mind that I work for a SMALL company (there's only 3 admin people here), but if your office was like mine here's what I'd do:
DO NOT say: "Harry Potter, I noticed that you have nothing to do, could you possibly do this report for me?"
I would say: "Lisa, I've got the XYZ report due today and the ABC report due tomorrow and I would like to do them both well, could you please help me with them"
