J.K. Rowling has… certainly been an interesting source of information lately. To say the least. The Harry Potter books ended years ago but between movies, plays, and Rowling’s extremely controversial and often bizarre Twitter account, the Potterverse has been kept very much alive. When the books ended it, fans prayed for the magic not to die, but most of them are regretting that wish. This wasn’t quite what they went....
Of all the many supporting characters in Harry Potter, Fred and George are definitely some of the most loved. They might be some of the most favorite characters from the books overall even though they aren’t a huge part of the plot. Their mischievous natures and wit make them really likable. While the pranks that Fred and George pull are often really funny, there are also times where they take things too far....
Harry Potter: Wizards Unite’s professions play an integral part of the game’s story, and we’ve put together a guide to help with choosing one of the professions. The latest mobile game from developer Niantic introduces the concepts that made Pokemon GO so popular and mixes those gameplay elements with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, meaning that Harry Potter fans were anxiously scrambling to download the game as soon as it became available....
It’s official! Hawkeye is getting a Disney Plus series. And Kate Bishop is coming along for the ride. For those that don’t know who Kate Bishop is, she’s Hawkeye. Well, she’s another Hawkeye. She carries the name and is even an archer like Clint. But they’re both very different. And both are acting as heroes under the Hawkeye mantle at the same time. It can get a little confusing. The Disney Plus series is going to give everyone a chance to see characters and plots that the MCU likely won’t be touching again anytime soon....
It’s easy to forget just how good some superheroes can be at disguising their real identities. One of the best examples of this is Daredevil, who you would never realize is blind thanks to his incredible senses. Hawkeye just made the realization that Daredevil is in fact blind, but Matt Murdock smartly casts doubt that makes the sharpshooter immediately dismiss the discovery. Daredevil was blinded after he saved a man from getting hit by a truck carrying radioactive chemicals, which took away his sight permanently....
While many developers are now ditching Apple Watch support for its user base, some smaller developers are looking to get on board and adopt the platform. For Apple Watch, one notable omission has been Reddit Apple Watch clients. The Apple Watch app market as it stands is similar to the early days of iPhone, where everything is done with major limits and there’s no real way to take full advantage of the Apple Watch hardware....
Real Racing 3 has been around for several years on iOS, but yesterday’s update marked its debut appearance on tvOS and the fourth generation Apple TV. This isn’t the first time that the Real Racing franchise has been associated with Apple’s set top box, as previous versions allowed you to use AirPlay to stream races to the Apple TV while using an iOS device as a controller. Check out our hands-on video with the new racer below....
Yesterday Apple released the second iOS 13.2 beta for developers. The update brings several noteworthy changes to the table, including brand new emoji, along with the ability to delete Siri & Dictation history associated with an iOS device. Watch our brief hands-on video as we step through the latest iOS 13.2 beta 2 changes and features. The Siri & Dictation update comes on the heels of the controversy stemming from the fact that Apple contractors used to listen to Siri recordings in order to grade interactions with Siri....
If you’re a fan of Nomad’s Horween Leather products for iPad and iPhone, then you may be interested to know that the Santa Barbara, California-based company just launched new Apple-centric leather goods — a 13- and 16-inch MacBook sleeve, and mousepad. Check out our brief impressions for the details. Nomad’s leather mousepad is made to correspond to the size of the 13- or 16-inch MacBooks, which allows them to easily fit inside a laptop bag or case....
Miranda Cates’ death in Hemlock Grove proved to be a disappointment. Director Eli Roth made a name for himself with his memorably gory directorial debut Cabin Fever, and he followed up with the first two Hostel movies and The Green Inferno. He’s switched up his style somewhat in recent years, however, by directing action thriller remake Death Wish with Bruce Willis and The House With A Clock In Its Walls with Jack Black and Cate Blanchett....
A dual-SIM iPhone was way down the list of features wanted by most buyers, so it was a surprise to hear Phil Schiller say during the September Apple keynote that the two newest iPhones would have both an eSIM and regular nano-SIM slot for phones sold globally — except in one particular region. Dual-SIM phones have long been a big deal in China, which has a confusing labyrinth of phone plans depending on which village or town you’re in and what plan you sign up for....

When it comes to bad guys in the movies, Lord Voldemort from the Harry Potter series must surely rank rather high on the list. As if trying to kill a young boy in his quest for domination wasn’t bad enough, the Dark Lord does plenty of things that suggest he’s one of the big screen’s most-memorable villains, from taking over somebody’s body to manipulating those weaker and younger than himself....
Obviously Harry Potter’s group Dumbledore’s Army is mostly made up of good ‘ole reliable Griffyndors, but that doesn’t mean that they’re all just a bunch of goody-2-shoes, Hogwarts has more to offer than that. Some of them have a bit of a chaotic streak, some of them are just by-the-book good guys, and some of them are actually super rigid in their unflinching devotion to all things just in the world....
Belkin’s Boost Up Special Edition Wireless Charging Dock for iPhone + Apple Watch (plus an extra USB port) is exclusively available through Apple or direct from the manufacturer. We’ve been testing out this charging solution and even if AirPower was available, it would give it a run for its money. Considering that AirPower’s future is still a mystery, follow along for why those holding out for Apple’s charging solution should consider Belkin’s take on a three-device charging station....
This year saw the end for some shows airing on SyFy, as the network cleaned house. Notably, those that got the axe were a pair of live-action adaptations of comic books, namely Deadly Class and Happy!. The latter enjoyed two seasons and in-house popularity, but its uninspiring ratings convinced producers to end it early. Starring former police officer and all-around drunkard Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) and his daughter’s imaginary friend Happy (voiced by Patton Oswalt) the blue horse, Happy!...
Warning: Spoilers For Harley Quinn #46 Harley Quinn’s adventures on Apokolips take a turn for the worse this week, and after making some new enemies, it looks like Harley’s history with the Joker is about to be erased… along with the rest of her memory! Last week, in Harley Quinn #45, Harley packed up and left Coney Island for a vacation, sick and tired of trying to be a superhero and ready to take a serious break… and while she started out aiming for a beach vacation, she got more than she bargained for when a couple of female furies popped through a Boom Tube and took her back to Apokolips!...
The main character in the Harry Potter series was touted as an example of a tragic character who grew into the role of a hero, but an unsung protagonist came in the form of Neville Longbottom. None of J.K. Rowling’s numerous changes to the story can alter this character’s sad tale. Unlike Harry, Neville never found acceptance even at Hogwarts, and was belittled on a daily basis; this contributed to the number of issues he had with his place in the world....
If you’re a Harry Potter fan, how can you not love Dumbledore? Wise, kind, and immeasurably powerful, Dumbledore is the loveable Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the bright shining center of the Harry Potter universe. For the purposes of mythic storytelling, he’s the magical mentor who helps our hero Harry fulfill his destiny. In this archetypal role, he’s not much different than Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars or Gandalf from Lord of the Rings....
Harry Potter’s Wizarding World is very rich, with a variety of characters (both wizards and muggles), places, objects, and more, so it’s understandable that not all of them made it to the movies, such as Professor Cuthbert Binns. Readers all over the world were introduced to J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World in 1997 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, where they met the title hero along with his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, his enemy Draco Malfoy, and many of the teachers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry....
