** SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Finally released in October and November of 2013.
-->'''Card''': My favorite thing about the end of 2013: I will never again have to answer questions about when the ''Ender's Game'' movie will come out.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Jake Lloyd]] as Ender and Creator/DakotaFanning as Petra. And yes, Card knew of how hated Lloyd was and felt a better script would have done him justice.

** At one point during the film's production, effects studio Creator/DigitalDomain (''Film/{{Transformers}}'', ''Film/RealSteel'') were co-producers. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that they ''did'' wind up co-producing the film anyway.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The songs Bonzo makes the cadets sing during the run to the battle room are a tame example of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_cadence military cadence]], fitting for school age children but not out of place in modern [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks US basic training]].

It was not an example of Referenced By, sorry.


** The ''Literature/HarryPotter'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8379655/1/Hogwarts-Battle-School Hogwarts Battle School]]. After Dumbledore dies in the war, Severus Snape is elected as the next Headmaster of Hogwarts and he turns the school into the wizarding version of Ender's Battle School. The core classes are shifted around to favor a focus on dueling, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and overall more wand-heavy magic. Additionally, "armies" battles and duels are hosted regularly. The final goal is to train the students for the next war, with Harry as their general.

* ScienceMarchesOn: Notably averted in the remarkably accurate descriptions of tablet-sized computers, the Internet and the blogosphere, in a book written before the creation of the World Wide Web. Although, as [[http://xkcd.com/635 xkcd points out]], it missed the mark on the blogosphere in terms of scale if nothing else.
