RILEY, YOU BIG LUG A small shrine to the dumbest man on TV. This week: He sucks up ruthlessly to Buffy's Mum. He's just so upstanding. 'I can't say I'm about to violate her firstborn'. Well, no.

Sensitive?

I'm not going to Hogwarts: Dawn's anti-magic-shop aside is Buffy paying homage to Harry Potter - it's the school for wizards that Harry attends.The cast and crew, particularly Sarah Michelle Gellar are huge fans of J.K. Rowling's novels.

For those of you who just joined us, Harmony used to be a member of Cordelia's gang, before becoming a vampire and going out (unhappily) with Spike.

Spinal Tap: This famous rock-mockumentary features a heavy metal band whose drummers regularly explode and die in mysterious fashions, such as gardening accidents. We last saw a magic shop owner die horribly in Lover's Walk.
