Line 95:
** Dobby, thanks to coaching from Hermione, does a [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum]] impression at Christmas 2002:
{{quote|"Ooh, ''sockses''. We likes them, don't we, my Precious."}}
** In Chapter 14 of ''Annals of Arithmancy'', when the Creevey brothers demonstrate their "Mementoscope" -- basically a magical video camera -- to Hermione, their first recording is of Colin Creevey in a Victorian suit reciting "Mary Had a Little Lamb". This is an explicit [[In-Universe]] shout-out to Thomas Edison's first phonograph recording.
** AA14 also ends with another [[In-Universe]] shout-out, with George Weasley explicitly quoting ''[[Firefly]]'':
{{quote|"We'll be in our bunk," he said, then added, "I officially love that show now."}}
* [[What Might Have Been]]: In a note at the end of chapter 6 of ''Annals of Arithmancy'', the author mentions that originally Hermione was to join Luna and Neville on a nighttime expedition and discover [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|that nargles were, in fact, real.]] However, as the plot developed, there became no place where the scene fit. It's included as an extra on that chapter, and careful reading will reveal bits and pieces that were recycled into the story as written -- such as the description of nargles as inch-high green pixie-like creatures, which was recycled for use in the scene where Hermione first visits the Lovegood home in ''The Arithmancer''.
