Line 101:
{{quote|"We'll be in our bunk," he said, then added, "I officially love that show now."}}
** In 2005, she finally is able to show George ''[[Doctor Who]]'', and suggests he make toy wands that look like sonic screwdrivers.
** Chapter 16 of ''Annals'' gets one to ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' when Hermione is asked in 2005 to join a team to move ley lines in Antarctica and says
{{quote|"I feel like there should be a 'Your mission, should you choose to accept it,' in there."}}
** A puppet show run by the twins for the various Weasley godchildren and grandchildren at Christmas 2006 featured a puppet Hermione repeatedly knocking puppet!Voldemort over with incantations of [[The Frantics|"Hex to the face!"]] (which is also, to be honest, a [[Call Back]] to an earlier [[Running Gag]]).
** In early 2008, Sirius makes an extended shout-out to ''[[The Dark Knight]]'' ("Why so Sirius?", "Do you wanna know how I got these tattoos?") while telling a story about the Department of Mysteries battle to Harry's boys.
** After Ron's Spanish wife becomes pregnant, George insists that the baby, if a boy, be named [[The Princess Bride|Inigo Montoya Weasley]]. When the couple learn where the name comes from, they are less than pleased with him.
* [[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''.
