1. I finally saw Deathly Hallows part 2. All in all I thought it was great, with the talk with the Ravenclaw ghost being especially cool. The special effects were terrific, aside from the horrendous broomstick escape from the flames. And the scene with Dumbledore in limbo flickered so badly (in 2D) that I had to look away.
2. Grant Morrison doesn't like superfans (to say the least). The excerpt mentions Morrison's take on Mark Millar's Wanted. A few years ago, I'd heard so much about Wanted that I picked up an issue and was absolutely horrified by what I was reading.
3. Is this from The Onion? Google is offering a credit card "with what it calls a competitive interest rate, an ample credit line and no annual fee. The catch: it can only be used to buy search advertising on the world's No.1 Internet search engine." Via.

Link roundup
1. Why doesn't this woman get more press? "Hooters Waitress-Turned-Lawmaker Admits to Carving Initials Into Assembly Desk."
2. An estimate of how much it costs to attend Hogwarts.
3. Gizmodo's list of essential Spotify tools. (I've only played with it briefly, but so far I don't see why it's so much better than Last.fm.)

Link roundup
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.
