Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will not be joining the rest of the royal family in Sandringham this year for Christmas and the Queen is disappointed by this news. This year marks Archie’s first Christmas, making it a significant one for the young couple. Despite addressing rumors of the state of his relationship with his brother in the uncharacteristically candid ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, this new news has added more fuel to the fire concerning the suspected rift....

Costume designers on the set of Harry Potter have their work cut out for them. On top of a slew of characters that they have to dress up, they had to keep up with wardrobe changes that were pertinent to character development. Hermione, for example, is typically fashioned in her Hogwarts robes or standard Muggle garments. And notable outfits like her Yule Ball dress has received praise throughout the years....

The Patronus charm is one of the most influential and suitable spells that Harry Potter learns to conjure. We first see the Patronus charm in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when Professor Lupin wards the dementors off the Hogwarts Express. And because of Harry’s susceptibility to the conditions of being near a Dementor, he is taught how to conjure one himself. This spell acts as his aid numerous times throughout the seven-series novel and subsequent film chain....

When it comes to the friendships in Harry Potter, the relationship between the titular hero and his BFFs, Ron and Hermione, will likely always be most popular for fans. That doesn’t mean others haven’t had Potterheads talking over the years, though. In particular, the friendship between James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew has been a huge source of inspiration in the fandom. They’re sometimes known as the Marauders, and each member of this foursome played a vitally important role in the Harry Potter series, even though most of them had pretty limited time on screen....

The Harry Potter series first hit bookshelves in 1997, but it didn’t really explode into the public consciousness until Warner Bros. released the first film adaptation in 2001. Since then, the world has grown up with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Warner Brothers may have shifted focus to 1920s New York in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, but fans will always foster nostalgia for their first glimpses into the wizarding world....

Earlier this month, Apple teamed up with Harry Styles to launch a new AirPods ad campaign inspired by the classic iPod silhouette promos from years ago. As it turns out, one detail that went under the radar is that Harry Styles and Apple teamed up to donate his paycheck for appearing in the video to the International Rescue Committee. Harry Styles had one condition for appearing in the AirPods ad The International Rescue Committee, or IRC, is an aid organization that “responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis....

The saga of Harvey Weinstein just keeps growing. In May, the producer was led in handcuffs to face rape charges, paid $1 million in bail, and was fitted with a GPS device. On Monday, Weinstein was charged with new sex crimes, which he has not responded to. It’s been one hellish ride for Weinstein since his behavior was first exposed by the New York Times last October. For years, many knew of Weinstein’s behavior, but didn’t speak out....

The Hating Game movie, an adaptation of Sally Thorne’s same-named 2016 novel, casts Lucy Hale and Robbie Amell. The Hating Game is the latest big screen adaptation of a romantic novel to be put into development. Considering the popularity of The Kissing Booth and To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix as well as the theatrical success of Crazy Rich Asians, Hollywood has seen a massive rom-com revival in just the last few years....

The trailer for Snake Outta Compton promises one of the silliest movies in recent memory. Such silly monster mashes have become sort of their own sub-industry in the last decade or so, thanks to the rise of mockbuster producers The Asylum, and the success of Syfy original movies like Sharknado and its sequels. While sharks are probably the most common oversized animal to serve as the antagonists of these films, snakes are right up there on the list, courtesy of ridiculously titled films like Snakes on a Train and Mega Python vs....

Sometimes life imitates art and the friendly fight between Hawkeye and Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame has been mirrored by real-world events this week. In the MCU’s most recent Avengers offering, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner travel to see Red Skull on Vormir and pick up the Soul Stone as part of the time heist plan to defeat Thanos. Like the angry purple villain before them, however, the duo soon discover that a sacrifice is required and, not wanting to let the other die, the duo begin scrapping to be the first Avenger to jump over the cliff edge and give their life to procure the Soul Stone....

The upcoming reboot of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser should give longtime fans a treat by bringing back original star Doug Bradley to play Pinhead. While the first Hellraiser movie is an undisputed classic of the horror genre, and 1988 sequel Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 is also quite beloved, later returns to Hell seemed to yield less and less success. By the fifth film, the actually pretty good Hellraiser: Inferno, Barker’s Cenobites had been shuffled off to a Hell of their own, that being the land of direct to video....

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xjvVbeUn80&channel=grc15r] If I told you about a touchscreen smartwatch with a crown-driven interface and a UI based on circles (despite the square display) that can allow you to view your contacts, calendars, and more, you’d probably have a pretty good idea what I was referring to: the upcoming Apple Watch. But actually, you’d be wrong. I’m really referring to the 2001 WatchPad from IBM, seen in the video above. It seems Apple’s latest creation isn’t nearly as original as they’d hoped....

Arrghh! It’s a bit of a kerfuffle, isn’t it?! You need to have a Facebook business page linked to an Instagram business profile in order to use Instagram scheduling apps as of December 2018, so it’s a no brainer to make the switch. But, what can you do with the Facebook business page if you don’t actually want to create unique content for it? Well, have no fear because Plann is here to save the day....

Dancing With The Stars’ Hannah Brown broke down behind the scenes after Monday’s Halloween episode of the show. The Bachelorette star explained her disconnect on Instagram the following day. Brown’s season of The Bachelorette was one of the most dramatic and controversial seasons ever for the ABC program. The former pageant queen’s season brought to light controversial subjects such as slut-shaming, religion, and when it’s time to walk away from a relationship....

The Harry Potter series of books and movies managed to capture the imaginations of readers and moviegoers all over the world. Who doesn’t love a world of magic where children can go to a fantastical school inside a castle where they can learn to cast spells, make potions and prophesy the future? Who doesn’t love teachers with fantastical beasts and phoenixes? What makes those tales so fascinating has nothing to do with magic....

While the Harry Potter series might not have been focused on romance, there were many different couples during the course of the series. Since the books followed Harry’s life over the course of seven years, seeing him date and seeing the other people around him in relationships only makes sense. While every fan has their individual favorite couples from the series, there are generally some couples that fans really loved and others that fans weren’t that excited about....

Hagrid is among one of Hogwarts’ most beloved teachers. He is laid back, loves animals, and is not afraid to be a loyal friend to his students. When Harry Potter’s first book came out, Hagrid was the readers and Harry’s prologue to the wizarding world. Also, he broke into a home with a birthday cake. What better entrance is there than that? Sometimes it is the most laid back people who have the best wisdom, and Hagrid is an example of that....
