* [[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''. |
