* Gilderoy made his fortune [[spoiler:stealing young adult novels from the Muggle world and publishing them in the wizarding world.]] Okay, that kind of scheme ''might'' have worked in the real HP universe, where wizards don't know jack-squat about Muggle culture, but wizards in the AVPM 'verse, no matter how old or anti-Muggle they are, are constantly dropping pop-culture references. It doesn't make much sense that a wizarding world who are very familiar with ComicBook/SpiderMan and watch ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'' would be unaware that ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' and ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' were Muggle books first.

** Furthermore, if Twilight was unknown to wizards, then why is Taylor Lautner so popular in AVPS?

** According to a few lyric sites, Voldemort's line is actually "You ''want to'' sleep on your back."

* Why do both Yaxley and Kingsley wear the EyepatchOfPower? I get that Kingsley is meant to emulate ComicBook/NickFury, but why ''both'' of the characters played by that actor? At first I thought maybe the actor ''actually'' wears an eyepatch, but he briefly appears in a number in ''Senior Year'' eyepatch-free, so that's clearly not it.

** Before he went back in time to release the books he must have heard about the final events (or witnessed them while mouse-sized). Maybe he wrote himself as an idiot because he has a good understanding of what an audience likes and knew he'd make a good comically villainous character.
