Some of the relationships in the Harry Potter universe just don’t make sense. Cho and Harry is definitely one of them. Romance doesn’t seem to be J.K. Rowling’s forte. Though the author manages to create some cute relationships, overall most of them don’t make a lot of sense. This is mostly due to a lack of buildup and romantic tension. Though Cho and Harry have some buildup, they definitely do not have as much as a couple like say Ron and Hermione....

A decade after the release of the final Harry Potter book, the series remains a global phenomenon. Though the movie franchise has been recently surpassed by the MCU in terms of box office, the book series remains the best-selling of all time, and the saga is still breaking records to this day, with Fantastic Beasts recently becoming the first Potter film to take home an Academy Award. JK Rowling’s Wizarding World has opened the minds of kids and adults across the globe, but her characters are a major factor in Harry Potter having stood the test of time, and we’re counting down the very best of them....

With the introduction of the new Apple TV, alongside the new iPad’s introduction last week, we learned that iCloud users would now be able access purchased movies (which also extends to digital copies uploaded from DVDs). The feature was previously limited to music and TV shows. At the time, we unfortunately learned content from Comcast’s Universal and Fox would be blocked from iCloud due to exclusive rights in place through pre-existing deals with HBO....

It’s officially pumpkin season! And while that means pumpkin spice everything, it also means sweater weather… which means that long evenings spent outside are going to give way to nights curled up in front of the TV, ignoring that first chill in the air. Thankfully, Netflix has packed its usual number of brand new viewing material into the calendar this month, with plenty of originals joining watchable classics, so that everyone should find something to watch....

Update: We’ve now received a number of reader complaints about this company, suggesting the company has not fulfilled crowdfunded orders ahead of public ones, and difficulties exchanging faulty products. It’s now almost a year-and-a-half since Apple first teased AirPower, a multi-coil charger that lets you place your iPhone, Apple Watch or (as yet also fictitious) wireless AirPods case anywhere on the charging mat. We’re still no closer to knowing when it will actually be available....

Although he’s not allowed to explicitly reveal his involvement, it sounds like Jon Favreau will be making an appearance in Anthony and Joe Russo’s Avengers: Infinity War next year. At this point, there are many people involved in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both in front of and behind the scenes, though Favreau continues to have a unique role within the ever-expanding universe. He not only launched the ground-breaking shared universe almost a decade ago by directing Iron Man – and then followed-up by directing Iron Man 2 – but he has also played an integral character in Tony Stark’s life, Happy Hogan....

Death Eaters are one of the most sinister groups of villain in the history of literature. They are vicious and merciless, they serve one of the most powerful villains of all time, and they have equally influential allies (with the likes of werewolves, giants, and Dementors themselves serving their cause). Nevertheless, it’s fun to sometimes reduce them to mere Muggles and image what kind of jobs they would have. After all the Harry Potter series has spawned a lot of fan fiction, but readers aren’t the only ones who like changing the canon....

The Haunting of Hill House star Oliver Jackson-Cohen promises fans that season 2 of the series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, is equally as brilliant.

SPOILERS for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. J.J. Abrams has explained how he convinced Harrison Ford to return for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, revealing it was actually quite easy.

Other actors such as Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, and Ralph Fiennes are best known for their supporting roles in the films as Snape, Lupin and Voldemort respectively, even though they’ve appeared in countless other movies and shows. But there are plenty of actors who’ve had minor roles in the fantasy movies and who have gone on to star in other productions....

Fans of Harry Potter often want to join Gryffindor, and with good reason. This Hogwarts house values courage, bravery, and nerve. Plus, the book’s heroes are associated with this house. Even Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff consistently choose to side with Gryffindor whenever it’s feuding with Slytherin. But not so fast, even though many evil wizards come from Slytherin, not everyone is evil. This house values leadership, ambition, and cunning.
