Yay! I love that Rita lives too. I was very much afraid since they kept mentioning her, Harry/Hermione would contact her and be like "hey, spy for us" and she would be squished or something.

And on a semi-related note, I am seriously considering, once I get internet back, to be playing Rosmerta, with pictures of Harriet Thorpe as her, because, 'Merta needs to be buxom, dammit! And then the 'Merta/Rita shall commence..... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm.....

And I got fan-fics in mind to write. Both Rita related. Her first Animagus transformation, and inventing/establishing/modifying her quick-quotes quill, plus small life at Hogwarts maybe.
