Warning: SPOILERS for DC’s Harleen When it comes to the origin of Harley Quinn, Mad Love is the madcap’s character bible. Every adaptation of the anti-heroine has elements inspired by the Eisner Award winning one-shot comic book by the creators of Batman: the Animated Series, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. But one story has all other adaptations of Mad Love beat, and that is DC’s 3-issue Black Label title Harleen by Stjepan Šejić....
In the wide world of books and movies, there are few trios that are more famous and more beloved than the so-called golden trio. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this moniker, it’s the fandom term for the Harry Potter holy trinity of Harry Potter himself, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley. The story of these three friends is one of the most compelling and heartwarming in the history of all fiction, and the popularity of these characters individually and as a group is totally unparalleled....
Rubeus Hagrid from Harry Potter is a beloved character, and one of the things that makes him so likable is how much he loves magical creatures. He has a unique ability to see the beauty and value in all of these glorious beasts, even the dangerous or unattractive ones. While at times his love of dangerous creatures can go too far and put himself and others at risk, Hagrid definitely has a good heart and he wants to help all magical animals....
The iPhone can shoot 4K video, and now even the iPad can shoot 4K video. Yet, there are times when you need the flexibility and power provided by a standalone camera. Standalone cameras have inherent advantages over smartphone cameras, despite the major strides made by iPhone photography over the last few years. Even with amazing third-party apps like FiLMiC Pro, which lets you adjust things like ISO and shutter speed, you’re still stuck with a constant aperture and fixed lens....

The mistress of mayhem will have an unlikely partner in Harley Quinn #72, when the femme fatale teams up with the time-traveling former football star from the future, Booster Gold. While both have a knack for creating unintentional chaos wherever life leads them, the two rarely ever team-up… and it appears as though Harley wants to keep it that way. Though different in almost every conceivable way, the two previously co-starred in a nine-issue crossover event that initially pitted them against each other: Heroes In Crisis....
Ever since the world laid eyes on Draco Malfoy, it seemed obvious that this arrogant, elitist bully was meant to be one of the main villains of the Harry Potter series. And for the most part, he was. Draco was a rude and cruel boy who was unnecessarily mean to plenty of people who didn’t deserve it, and often times he seemed to take pleasure in causing others embarrassment or pain....
Peter Pettigrew may not be the #1 despised villain in the Harry Potter universe; that coveted title likely goes to one Dolores Umbridge, if not Voldemort himself. He is pretty much disliked by all, however, and he deserves most of the backlash that’s aimed at his little rat form. Wormtail began his career at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a skittish, yet cunning, young man who saw opportunities and took them....
When Harry Potter started out in 1997, all of us were either hardly in double-digit ages or weren’t even born, which is why no one thought about what any future couples would be like. By the time the series ended in 2007, we’d all grown up enough to form opinions over the couples that had formed during that time. With the film series really making the franchise popular, the idea we had of these couples was magnified....
Actor Robbie Coltrane portrayed the gentle giant, Rubeus Hagrid, in the Harry Potter film series, but another popular actor lobbied for the role. Coltrane played the character in all eight movie adaptations based on the book series by J.K. Rowling; however, another well-known actor was vying for the role when the franchise was in early development. Hagrid played an integral role in the Harry Potter series, introducing the young boy wizard to the wizarding world in the first installment....
The Haunting of Hill House impressed with its single-take episode, but “Two Storms” did make some subtle cuts in places to keep the story moving. The Netflix series dominated over Halloween 2018 and not only proved immensely popular with viewers, but also went on to top many TV critics’ end-of-year lists. By far the most lauded and discussed episode was “Two Storms,” which was conceived to play like one continuous take....
The Harry Potter books are so massive and so dense that it’s honestly a miracle that anyone managed to coherently translate them into individual films. And it’s even more impressive that those films were actually fantastic. However, the transition from page to screen required that a lot of cuts be made, and it also required that some pretty integral characters didn’t get their moment to shine on the silver screen....
Quidditch is the ultimate sport in the wizarding world. It became such a popular component of Harry Potter that it even translated off-screen to real-life fans who play Quidditch matches and even conduct their own Quidditch World Cups all over the world. In the magical world, the game is a favored past-time, in school and out of school at big events such as the fourth book’s World Cup. But we become most familiar with it through the eyes of series protagonist, Harry Potter, who becomes the youngest Seeker....
Going to Hogwarts might seem like a dream come true for Muggle fans of the Harry Potter series, but there are definitely some rather messed up things about the school. One of the biggest issues with Hogwarts is that a lot of the professors don’t seem qualified to teach or tend to treat their students horribly. The professors at Hogwarts can sometimes be rather shameless in how they do their jobs as well as the things they get up to when not teaching....
Here’s what happened in the fourth and final season of Hart Of Dixie. The CW comedy/drama began airing in 2011 and introduced viewers to protagonist Dr Zoe Hart. Played by Rachel Bilson, Zoe is an aspiring New York City heart surgeon who gets turned down for a fellowship and moves to the small Alabama Gulf Coast town of Bluebell after she inherits half a medical practice from a kind stranger - who later turns out to be her biological father....
HBO has green-lit a TV reboot of the Maniac Cop franchise, with Nicolas Winding Refn serving as showrunner and directing alongside John Hyams. The original Maniac Cop film was released in 1988 and starred Robert Z’Dar as Matthew Cordell, a decorated police officer who returns from the dead as a vengeful killer after being wrongly framed by his department and murdered in prison. It bombed at the box office, but went on to become a cult film and even spawned a pair of sequels....
