Harley Quinn may have started her life as ‘Joker’s girlfriend,’ but the modern comics have seen her break free and live a life all her own. That life has included a romantic bond with Poison Ivy, and it seems the pair’s new comic series may finally “explore” just what their love story really entails… even if their fans can already guess. It’s a good time to be a fan of the modern Harley Quinn, with the newly announced Harleen graphic novel from DC Black Label re-imagining her origin story as Joker’s psychiatrist....

The Harry Potter franchise has spawned a wide array of memorable and brilliant characters. One of the most prominent and iconic of these is the evil Lord Voldemort, aka Tom Marvallo Riddle. Harry’s arch-nemesis in the series and the real “Undesirable No.1” of the magical world. Voldemort did some truly despicable things in his life, some of the cruelest and disgusting acts that either the magical or muggle worlds will ever see....

Gryffindors are known to be the brave, the endearing, and apparently the ones who get themselves into a lot of trouble. However, judging by the core cast of the Harry Potter phenomenon, it’s abundantly clear that Gryffindors are rather intelligent as well. Ravenclaw can’t have all of the mastery and wit. Hermione is living proof of that, and if not for her and her valiant instincts, she would no doubt be in the house of Rowena Ravenclaw....

An interesting fan theory attempts to answer why Harry Potter’s class size was so small at Hogwarts. The boy wizard’s time at the educational institution was the focus of the Harry Potter series. The theory suggests that Voldemort and the First Wizarding War affected the birth rate; however, the small class sizes in Harry Potter are probably just an oversight by the author of the original book series, J.K. Rowling....

When it comes to the adults of the wizarding world of Harry Potter, many are just as bad as the children, if not worse. It’s amazing how the Ministry of Magic expects teen witches and wizards to behave with decorum at all times, threatening them with expulsion for accidental magic when many of the adults carry out heinous deeds and get away with it every day. It’s one of the many ways that Rowling has created a rich, layered world that feels so real, even if it does annoy, and even harm, the children of the magical world....

Apple has introduced two new watch faces with the new Series 7 watches: Contour and Modular Duo. Contour is the more interesting of the two and features a gorgeous design that falls off the edges of the new larger displays. The new face is extremely customizable and features a bunch of ways to personalize it. First off, Contour can be used with either a regular flat font or a rounded variation....

Demonstrating how Apple’s CarPlay will be integrated into upcoming budget vehicles, Harman has shown the Integrated Essentials Cockpit, a new OEM solution that does away with direct touchscreen interaction in favor of a steering wheel-mounted touchpad. The Integrated Essentials Cockpit eliminates the currently popular center console-mounted screen, instead bringing Apple’s CarPlay interface directly into the dashboard behind the steering wheel. Unusually, the CarPlay UI then sits between a left-side speedometer and a right-side tachometer, below a bar with a thermometer and above a fuel gauge and odometer....

For a lot of reasons, Peter Pettigrew, AKA “Wormtail”, may be one of the creepiest characters in all of the Harry Potter series. First and foremost, is the rather strange decision on the part of author J.K. Rowlings, to make Pettigrew’s animagus form hang around so closely with a preteen Ronald Weasley. With that particularly large elephant out of the room, we can get into some of the more unnerving, crazy, and interesting facts about this Voldemort supporter....

The Order of the Phoenix is an elite group of wizards and witches that are formed together during two of the great wizarding wars. They are designed to combat the increased threat of Lord Voldemort and are made up of some of the best sorcerers of their time. The two incarnations have some pretty famous members to Harry Potter fans, and they are the standard-bearers of the light during incredibly dark times....

The adventures of beloved comic book hero Hellboy and his team of fantasy fighters are getting a new collection, with cover art by legendary artist Adam Hughes. And fans can pick up the trade paperback for themselves when Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Beast of Vargu and Others arrives in July of 2020. The collected edition will be bringing together several standalone stories for the first time, collecting the tales told in Hellboy and the B....

David Harbor reveals that his version of Hellboy cannot have sex with humans. This is just one of a few key differences between the original 2004 Hellboy movie, starring Ron Perlman, and the reboot in which Harbour stars as the demonic beast who becomes a superhero. Those differences initially became apparent when the first trailer for the new Hellboy film dropped late last year. It depicted a movie that was considerably more bloody, as well as more focused on the supernatural and horror elements from the Hellboy comics....

This week, Apple officially unveiled the PRODUCT(RED) iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. While the device looks pretty slick on the surface, many people have argued that Apple should have made the front of the device black, as opposed to white. We’ve already shared one concept image that imagines a (RED) iPhone with a black front, but now YouTuber Danny Winget has taken it a step further and actually transformed the device…...

ElevationLab launched its first wireless charger a few weeks ago and we’ve been testing it out to see how it stacks up to the rest of the competition. NightPad was designed with a focus on simplicity and offering a distraction-free experience by skipping the LEDs and using an understated logo. Read on for our full hands-on with the new wireless charger. ElevationLab offers a range of high quality Apple accessories, but it hasn’t made a wireless charger until now....

Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal series on NBC adapted Thomas Harris’ novels to bring the character of Hannibal Lecter to the small screen, but instead of having him face off with Clarice Starling, Fuller gave him a different - and better - character foil: Will Graham. Hannibal ran for three seasons and adapted Harris’ novels Red Dragon and Hannibal, but didn’t cover as much material from The Silence of the Lambs, partially because he couldn’t obtain the rights from MGM....

Melissa McCarthy-led crime comedy The Happytime Murders is having a bad time at the box office and an even worse time with reviews, as critics collectively agree that shock humor is no substitute for well-crafted humor. Directed by Brian Henson, the movie is set in an alternate version of Los Angeles where humans co-exist with puppets who are treated like second-class citizens (yes, there have been a lot of comparisons to Bright)....

Draco Malfoy ranks highly among the most famous fictional characters that we all love to hate. He is by far the most frequent schoolbound antagonist to Harry Potter and his friends; readers got to endure every act of cruelty, prank and insult Malfoy inflicted, and they loathe him for it. Fortunately as the books continued, he grew to fill a more nuanced role in the story, if not become a more sympathetic person....

Every Harry Potter fan knows a thing or two about the Hogwarts houses, including which one they would want to be sorted into if they had the chance. With the announcement of the North American wizarding school, Ilvermony, fans were excited to find out which house they would be sorted into on this side of the pond as well, but there’s something particularly special about the four houses of the original Hogwarts....

The lead hero of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter is undoubtedly stated in the title. The young boy wizard is our central hero and no one will take that away from him. But, there’s no denying that his best friends, Ron and Hermione, have their fair share of heroic moments. All three of these Gryffindors prove time and time again why they were placed in their house. In their own individual ways, Ron and Hermione often prove that they have done just as much, if not more, than Harry himself....
