Happy Endings was one of the most underrated television comedies in recent years and an unjustly canceled show. The premise of a group of 30-something friends navigating work, relationships, and life in the big city might not sound original, but it was a real winner. The show’s charm came largely from its hilarious and lovable characters. One of the standouts was Max Blum, played by Adam Pally. Max was the chubby and unkempt member of the group....
The Harry Potter series didn’t just see Harry, Ron, and Hermione take on the Dark Lord and win… it also saw them grow and change. From their first year at school (at the age of eleven, which is the first year of wizarding school) through their teenage years, and even beyond, in a flash-forward to adulthood, this series quite literally saw them grow up. And while some of the characters stayed pretty much the same throughout their years at Hogwarts, Hermione definitely went through some major changes....
J.K. Rowling’s writing is so vivid and breathtaking that it’s easy to overlook the many plot holes in works like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, but let’s face it: like any author, she’s a human being, and humans can’t think of everything. Even with years of preparation, connecting the dots and mapping out which wizard is related to which muggle, it’s pretty much impossible. Rowling has certainly built an impressive world notwithstanding....
The Ministry of Magic in the Harry Potter books is a rather complex institution that plays many roles in the series. While at the beginning it’s a rather neutral presence in Harry’s life, it becomes more sinister as the books go on. Cornelius Fudge and his administration do a lot of harm in the books, and then, the Ministry becomes taken over by Voldermort and his followers.By the end, it was the Ministry that was responsible for some of the worst things to occur in the books and movies....
Henry Cavill recently revealed that he would love to star in Netflix’s upcoming adaptation of The Witcher game series. Cavill, who starred in Man of Steel, and more recently played August Walker in Mission: Impossible - Fallout, is known to be a huge gamer, having revealed on Conan he missed the call from Zack Snyder telling him he had been cast as Superman because he was playing World of Warcraft....
The biggest controversy over the way Facebook data ended up in the hands of political consultancy Cambridge Analytica was how it got there. The company not only got access to the data of anyone naive enough to give permission to a third-party ‘personality quiz,’ but Facebook allowed the app some access to the data of their friends also … This means that even if you are personally careful not to give access to your Facebook data to third-party apps, you still can’t be sure it wasn’t used....
The show has a ravenous fanbase but will Hannibal season 4 ever happen? Hannibal Lecter was first introduced in author Thomas Harris’ 1981 novel Red Dragon. Lecter is a cultured psychiatrist and renowned intellect - who also happens to a sociopathic cannibal murderer. The character’s first live-action appearance was in Michael Mann’s (Heat) 1986 thriller Manhunter, where he was played by Brian Cox. Despite being considered a cult classic now, Manhunter bombed upon release....

Sirius Black is a character from Harry Potter that many fans love. He’s definitely a fan favorite, and many people love to learn as much as they can about the Marauders and their lives. While Sirius might be charming and appealing, he’s also a rather flawed character. This is part of what makes him interesting to many fans, but there’s no denying that he makes a lot of mistakes and can be arrogant and reckless....
Harry Potter is, first and foremost, a series about a magical world. But there are plenty of other themes that are woven in throughout the story. Themes about good vs. evil, sacrifice, and one of the most common ones, fatherhood. It may seem odd to think about at first glance but fathers play a major role in every book. Fathers who died before the story began. Ones who abandoned their children, ones who spoil their kids, ones who would do anything for their offspring, and everything in between....
On the surface, it seems like the Dungeons & Dragons character alignments of the Death Eaters in Harry Potter should be a simple and easy-to-answer question across the board. The very purpose of the organization is to ensure Voldemort’s domination over the entire wizarding world and the victory of Dark Magic over light. However, the makeup of the entire Death Eater gang is a lot more varied than it may seem at a first glance....

Lifestyle fixture company Moen launched its U by Moen Smart Shower back in 2017 as a push into the smart home space. While the shower system originally shipped with an iOS app to allow users to customize their shower experience and save presets, HomeKit support was absent. At CES 2019, Moen announced it will be updating the fixture with not only HomeKit support, but Alexa Routines as well. We took a hands-on look at how the integration will work when it launches....
What exactly is it like to live (and work) with Apple’s new 12-inch MacBook? We’ve been using it for the last week or so and have some initial impressions to share.

The magical world of Harry Potter is a global phenomenon that no one could have anticipated. The wizarding world became such a desired concept that Universal Studios took it into their own hands to build the real-life Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and Hogsmeade materialized into actual brick-and-mortars so that now these once completely made up places can be visited by ambitious Potter fans. Yet, while avid vacationers can experience these fictitious settings, there are still some locations from the series that are based on real-life places....
Hufflepuff is definitely the most underrated Harry Potter Hogwarts house. While Gryffindor gets all the love and Slytherin gets a lot of attention, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff don’t get enough love. While both of these houses represent admirable traits, it’s Hufflepuff in particular that isn’t respected for their contribution. This is likely because Hufflepuff is a more unassuming house. However, traits such as loyalty, fairness, and equality are extremely important. While Hufflepuff students might not get talked about too much in the series, there are some that have been pretty iconic....
