I think it's pretty safe to say Harry Potter has long term cultural legs. It has been around for 20 years, and was massively successful from the off. Any piece of children's literature that has made a similar impact - and none have been so massively popular - has been remembered. The books' popularity will endure as…

She's always been adamant that that's the end of the seven books, and that she has no intention of going back to it, while saying 'never say never'.

The fucking horns in that song are the most sinister instruments ever put to… whatever they recorded music on for films in the '50s.

I borrowed The Witches from the library, and so was reading it alone. I remember feeling like Homer Simpson at that line - ''at this very moment?' Shows what you know, Dahl!'

The grandmother's thumb! In the book the boy speculates that a witch shoved his gran's thumb into a kettle spout until it was boiled away. I read The Witches when I was 7 - twenty years on and that image has never left me.

I've only just realised it, but the fact that so many of the background witches in the ballroom are clearly played by men in drag - and are clearly men in drag before they've started taking off their wigs and shoes - does a lot to underline that something's not quite right.

"What will you do… (plop) when they CATCH you?! (plop) What will youdoiftheyBREAK YOU?! (farts) If you continue to fight… what will you… become?" (drawn out fart, big splash)

I don't think there's much in the text to support that reading - the kids seem hopelessly neglected.

I always found it weird that one of the 'duh, why doesn't the Hulk's trousers burst lol'-style lazy jokes that kept getting made about Lost was 'I just want to know why there were polar bears on a tropical island, it's soooo ridiculous, duhhh'.

I loved Lost, but thought the last season was a bit disappointing - it had a lot of cool stuff, but I thought the sentimental 'they all met up again in the afterlife before moving on to death' undermined the intensity of the series up to that point. I get why some people felt it fell flat, but it resolved everything -…

Boo, 'The Turn of the Screw' is a vastly, vastly better title than 'Haunted'.

I think they realised the sea and lava environments the best way they could (that doesn't extend to the aliens on the water world, just the location).

'Mr Death Waltz rep, would you describe this soundtrack's vinyl release as… "skull-smashingly good?"'

One of the reasons Lucas used so many CGI-heavy planets in the prequels - a water world, a lava world, a trippy plant world - is because they up a lot of the accessible 'alien' environments you can get on Earth in the originals.

There's a few premises this article takes for granted I'd take issue with -

Once when we were walking home drunk, two friends of mine who also grew up massive Simpsons fans tried pitching ideas for episodes that they haven't done. It's more difficult than you'd think - we came up with a few lame, scraping the bottle of the barrel ones and discovered that they had been done in the last decade.

I was born the year The Simpsons started, and as a kid remember being amazed at how quickly the time passed between me being the same age as Lisa and me being the same age as Bart.

The staff do have to get paid; if an article appears to be clickbait, we have the power to ignore it.

No good sir, he's sent by the devil.

I thought the character was played and written charmingly enough to mitigate the awkwardness of the information dump.
