* [[Pyke-Xi Raul]]'s memories of his time studying at a school of [[magic]] in a parallel version of [[Earth]] match the continuity of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' films. He mentions breaking [[Gregory Goyle|one student]]'s arm so he "could take his place for a bit"; this matches the third film, during which the actor for [[w:c:harrypotter:Gregory Goyle|Gregory Goyle]] broke his arm, so in action scenes his character was replaced with a new character named in the script as [[w:c:harrypotter:Pike|"Pike"]]. Similarly, he claims he was caught by a "meathead" from his Homeworld who had taken the place of a Bulgarian wizard named [[Victor (Wringing Off)|Victor]], despite not looking anything like him, as part of a scheme to get with "Young [[Hermione Granger|Miss Watson]]"; this references how the actor for [[w:c:harrypotter:Viktor Krum|Viktor Krum]] – a Bulgarian wizard in the fourth film who takes [[w:c:harrypotter:Hermione Granger|Hermione Granger]], played by [[w:c:harrypotter:Emma Watson|Emma Watson]], to the Yule Ball in ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' – didn't match the ''Harry Potter'' novels' physical description of Krum. In its physical description of Pyke-Xi, ''Wringing Off'' describes him as resembling a fourteen-year-old boy, matching the age of Pike in the film. In this way, the story explains these casting discrepancies. | * [[Pyke-Xi Raul]]'s memories of his time studying at a school of [[magic]] in a parallel version of [[Earth]] match the continuity of the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' films.
