Jenny ,'Bring On The Night'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
From the sorting hat.
Voldemort puts the sorting hat on Neville and lights it on fire. But Voldemort's spell freezing Neville isn't strong (and the sword drops rather painfully on top of Neville's noggin). Then Neville takes the sword and does Heroic Things.
How do we know that Neville married Hannah Abbot?
Post-textual interview with JKR. She noted that Neville find Luna a little scary. She winds up marrying somebody who wasn't in the books - another fan of exotic creatures.

Especially since it had already pulled that trick in getting the sword to Harry in Chamber of Secrets.
I don't know if I like authors telling you in an interview stuff about the characters that was not in their texts.

Also, GRRM responds to the response to the NYT review of Game of Thrones:
I am not going to get into it myself, except to say
1) if I am writing "boy fiction," who are all those boys with breasts who keep turning up by the hundreds at my signings and readings?
and
(2) thank you, geek girls! I love you all.
Aww, GRRM just made me love him a lot. Game of Thrones is an incredibly good book. Well written, involved, and very appealing to geek girls like me.
