2. An estimate of how much it costs to attend Hogwarts.

1. "Writer Laurann Dohner has inked a 75-book deal with erotic romance publisher Ellora’s Cave." (Links are probably NSFW.)

2. Interview with the actor who plays Neville Longbottom. Relatedly, this is a good overview of the series, with an emphasis on the fact that although Harry and friends might have started out as geeky outcasts, they ended up the popular kids.

3. A good summary of the Palin phenomenon: At a screening of a new Palin documentary, the only person attending was a reporter.

4. The BBTS has the Boba Fett Mail-Away figure available for preorder.

1. Good cosplay idea: Instead of dressing up as wizards for the Harry Potter premiere, wouldn't it be way funnier to dress up as wizards trying to dress up as muggles? Via.

2. I never get tired of rereading Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers of Victory. Here are some great links exploring the series. Via.

3. FYI, Spotify installation and startup was almost instantaneous. Music playback has been smooth, and it went and added my own music library without any intervention from me.
