The Harry Potter films have been among some of the highest grossing franchises of all time. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 has taken the title for the highest grossing film of the entire series, but at least nine out of the Harry Potter films ranked in the top highest grossing titles for each respective year. For followers of the books and movies, it’s clear that fans of the Wizarding World certainly span across multiple generations....

The Harry Potter books have been banned by a Catholic school for containing “real” spells. Since arriving in 1997, author J.K. Rowling’s wildly popular books about teen wizard Harry Potter and his closest friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley have become the best-selling book series in history. As any Harry Potter fan knows, the books are packed with a multitude of characters and insights into the wizarding world, which operates in a kind of parallel existence to the actual non-magical, or Muggle world....

From The Sopranos to Flight of the Conchords, HBO has produced some of the smartest, most original cable TV in the past 20 years. They’re about to unleash even more brilliant programming this year, and it’s hard to determine which is the most exciting. Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. We here at Screen Rant went through all of the shows HBO is coming out with this year, and after selecting our top 10, we ranked them in order of audience excitement....

If Henry Cavill were to play Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it could be a chance for a stronger superhero role than his divisive Superman. Although now getting plaudits for his turn as Geralt in Netflix’s The Witcher, Cavill is far-and-away best known as the most recent big-screen iteration of Clark Kent. Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Superman was controversial, to say the least. While many appreciated his look and charisma when it shined through, the approach taken on his DC movies was a version of Superman many people couldn’t get behind....

Back in 2017 when the iPhone X was released, AppleCare+ saw a big increase to $199 for the flagship model. Last year saw the iPhone XS and XS Max stay at that same mark, with the protection plan for iPhone XR going for $149....

Warning: SPOILERS for Harley Quinn #45 ahead Harley Quinn is in need of a vacation. Ever since she kissed Gotham goodbye, her hands have been full with managing her tiny Coney Island corner of the DC Universe. Now it’s time to take a break. And where better for a woman who enjoys pummeling people just a bit too much to unwind than the fiery fighting pits of Apokolips? Harley doesn’t immediately jet off for the Fourth World in this week’s Harley Quinn #45, but she does seize the opportunity when it comes up....

The holiday season is upon us, and if you’re a Harry Potter fan (and don’t already own one) a Hogwarts robe in your house colors is probably somewhere on your list. While we cannot all afford to pay hundreds of dollars for the Wizarding World versions in Orlando, some less expensive Halloween versions exist online, and everyone deserves to wear something with house pride. But, if you’re a real fan, you may be looking for a particular style of robe....

It’s pretty rare to find a character who is universally beloved, especially in a franchise as monstrously massive as Harry Potter, but Rubeus Hagrid is one of those lucky few who absolutely everyone seems to adore. This lovable half giant/half wizard is one of the coolest and kindest adults in the entire Harry Potter universe, and it’s honestly baffling that Harry Potter himself named his children after Dumbledore and Snape but didn’t even bother giving Hagrid a shout out....

Ginny Weasley had a prolific wizarding career after the main events of the Harry Potter series. Actress Bonnie Wright played the pure-blood witch in all eight installments of the series based on the books by J.K. Rowling. Ginevra Weasley, normally referred to as “Ginny,” was the youngest child of Arthur and Molly. Out of the seven siblings, Ginny was notably the only girl. Ginny was first seen in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone accompanying her mother to King’s Cross Station to drop off her older brothers for a new year at Hogwarts....

2020 marks Apple’s first major foray into making a wallet (not counting past Apple iPhone folios) and it comes thanks to the revived MagSafe system for iPhone 12. While many seem to be intrigued by the new product there have been some early concerns like how strong the magnets are that keep it in place. I’ve just got my MagSafe Leather Wallet for iPhone, here are my initial thoughts. The new iPhone Leather Wallet with MagSafe started arriving to customers over the weekend with some stock of the anticipated accessory showing up at some Apple Stores too....

Hands-on with ZUGU Muse Case for iPad Pro Perhaps most notably for the Muse Case is the fact that it was designed specifically for the new iPad Pro models to allow the latest Apple Pencil 2 to charge wirelessly without having the iPad exposed. Since the Apple Pencil can attach to the case and wirelessly charge through it, it also prevents any scratching that can happen with the Apple Pencil when connecting to the new iPad Pros without a case....

Last week, Apple unveiled a new limited-edition Black Unity Braided Solo Loop for the Apple Watch in honor of Black History Month. This band is now available via Apple Stores and the first orders are arriving to buyers. Head below for a closer look at Apple’s latest Braided Solo Loop… Here’s how Apple describes the new Black Unity Braided Solo Loop for Apple Watch: My Black Unity Braided Solo Loop arrived yesterday, and it’s an impressive design both in terms of color and attention to detail....

When it comes to book-to-movie adaptations, it’s inevitable that certain aspects of the source material won’t make it onto the screen. After all, there’s only so much time filmmakers can dedicate to the story, and they need to cut less important details in favor of the more crucial ones. This is a problem the Harry Potter films faced, and unfortunately, some of the most interesting subplots got the axe because of it....

In a major steal, Hasbro today announced a deal between Saban Brands that will install the toy company as the sole, global master licensee for Power Rangers. The news comes ahead of the New York Toy Fair, which is taking place this upcoming weekend. The previous licensee was Bandai, which produced toys for the property since the long-running franchise first started in the United States in 1993. Power Rangers is currently in its twenty-fifth season, Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel....

I’ve been spending time with some USB-C audio hardware, using it with a Windows PC with USB-C ports and with a recent Samsung Galaxy Note 10+. While my test PC has a headphone jack, it’s awkwardly placed on the side of the screen, so using a USB-C audio device puts the audio connection down by the keyboard, a much easier position for the cable. Moshi’s USB-C DAC adapter and its Mythro C headphones are intended to work with Android phones but are a good match for the current generation of PCs as well....

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (or Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone if you’re used to the American version of the book) was the book that started it all. While this book might be smaller and a little less complicated than some of the other Harry Potter books, it’s still an essential read because it’s the foundation of everything we know and love about the wizarding world. As such, there are a lot of important details that are exclusive to the book....

The Harry Potter franchise introduced a world inside a school for wizards. Several of the teachers were mainstays, there for the kids through their entire journey through the education system. However, there was one teacher that changed year after year. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professors seemed to change every year. The reason for that is simple. Tom Riddle, who later became Lord Voldemort, wanted to take on the role of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor but was rejected....

Blumhouse will debut the first trailer for Happy Death Day 2U in theaters this weekend, ahead of Halloween screenings. The film is the sequel to 2017’s Happy Death Day, which earned $122.6 million worldwide against a budget of only $4.8 million. That profit ensured a followup would happen, and the studio wasted no time at all getting it through the pipeline. Reuniting director Christopher Landon with star Jessica Rothe, Happy Death Day 2U will premiere in February 2019, opening alongside the likes of Alita: Battle Angel and Isn’t It Romantic....
