Oooh, thanks! I'd forgotten about that!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I was watching Smallville Season 6 earlier today, and there was a big strapping dude who did the whole built-in-impalement-device thing, and I was all "You're a Polgara Demon!" at the screen. And then reflecting upon how insanely referential things are, when their monster reminds me of a Buffy monster named after your good self, whom I assume to be named after the David Eddings character? It's like six degrees of, er, something.
Ha! That's funny, I do that too. And yup, I was rereading the Eddings' serious for the bazillionth time when I was posting at the Bronze, hence the chosen name. Who knew it would be so lucky for me?

Were they at the Department of Mysteries? I remember Crabbe and Goyle being pissed off at Harry at the end of GoF because Harry named their fathers as Death Eaters, but I don't remember them being at the Ministry of Magic in OotP.

Crabbe and Goyle Srs. were both at the graveyard in GoF, so it's pretty safe to assume that they were out of prison by then, if they had ever been in.

A few days ago, I read a post in someone's LJ with "just the dirty bits" of Deathly Hallows (I can't find the link anymore) and since then, any mention of wands sets my inner 12-year-old giggling madly.

I can kind of see that. Well-planted clues and foreshadowing that don't spoil the reveal have been a big part of the Potter series.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm sure JK appreciates being outed by her neighbor's wife. Plus? According to her, (via the A&E biography linked upthread) the writing in cafes/heating story is a falsehood that really bugs her. No macaroni salad for that guy at the neighborhood block party.
