General Fandom News:
• Bella wrote Five Reasons Why 'Love Simon' Can Fill Your Representational Void: about the movie adaptation of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli (MuggleNet)

Simon is a normal kid. Well, as normal as any "Harry Potter" fan can be. Simon is a Hufflepuff, and he's a huge fan of the "Harry Potter" series. In the book, Simon dresses up as a Dementor for Halloween, playfully disowns his sister for not understanding his references, and reads a lot of Drarry fan fiction. Simon is literally one of us.
