And, because I was confused by this forever when I was new, a Gary Stu is a nearly perfect character in a story, movie, or book (usually very predictable and cliché). Mary Sue is the female version. (Am I right?)

Oh, and also imdb = Internet Movie Database, a website.

Right. I knew I was missing a couple more with the letters smushed together (Smeyer, Pterry) but I couldn't think of them.
Also the HP abbreviations are SS, CoS, PoA, GoF, OotP, HBP and DH.
