In the original version of the game, she has a full set of six. In the remake, she has two.

Many people don't know this, but that was intentional! Laputa was invented by the English author Jonathan Swift. In his book Gulliver's Travels, the floating city of Laputa oppresses the country below it (literally). The oppressed finally manage to ground it by having the towers of their capital collapse inward when Laputa descended on it. The place where it happened is called Lin Lin. Lin Lin = double Lin = Dublin. The oppressed country is Ireland and Swift was calling his own England "the whore".

I feel like watching film theory with Neville could have been the chosen one again. Wasn't it revealed in one of the later books that that was the question all along?

I recently learned that the word clock originally ment bell or bell chime. It's related to the German word Glocke. So 7 o'clock = 7 bongs...
