Ever wonder exactly what iPhone case manufacturers go through prior to an next-gen iPhone unveiling? When it comes to Tim Hickman and his company Hard Candy Cases, the process consisted of spending more than $50,000 to create cases based on a rumored iPhone 5 design that never came to fruition. He even started taking pre-orders on his site. Based on tipsters in China who sent Hickman 3D models claiming to be that of the, at that point, yet to be unveiled next-gen iPhone and sporting a widened Home button and tapered design, the company got to work....

The world of wizarding schools spans far beyond the gates of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Nations and regions across the Wizarding World house institutions, much like Hogwarts, which instruct their youth about the ins and outs of magic, history, and fantastical beasts. One such school is Durmstrang Institute, one of the three schools which compete in the heralded Triwizard Tournament. This mysterious academy for young witches and wizards holds many secrets that fans have yet to discover....

Many fans of Harry Potter read the books or watch movies and imagine what it would be like to live in that world. There are many ways in which having magic allows for more efficient lives. For example, being able to apparate would make it so much quicker to get around. Also, spells make it easier to do things such as clean or even cook. But, despite their ability to use magic, there are many things about the wizarding world that are whether outdated....

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry discovers that he has a godfather. His father’s old best friend, Sirius Black, is a fugitive mass murderer who eventually finds Harry — only to inform him that it’s not true, and he was framed. Sirius and Harry form a close relationship after his third of year of Hogwarts, with Sirius taking up the parental role he never had the chance to during his twelve years in Azkaban....

Many of us who grew up reading J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter fantasy series will recall our first childhood impression of Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Transfiguration Professor and Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as an infallible, all-wise, all-knowing genius. Our first impression of the fictional character as young fans contrasted with our second impression of him when we read the series again years later as older and more mature fans and came to notice the flaws in his personality we had missed as younger and less experienced readers....

What makes someone a Ravenclaw from Harry Potter? Ravenclaw is one of the four Houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. It’s the job of the Sorting Hat to decide which House a student belongs in. It’s a fun concept for Harry Potter book readers and viewers of the film franchise to sort themselves into one of the four Houses so we broke down the characteristics of Ravenclaws....

It is hard not to obsess over the Harry Potter series because it simply has so much to offer. Filled with magic, love, and whimsy, JK Rowling has managed to create one of the biggest fandoms of all time. And to think she wrote a good chunk of the Potter series on used napkins because she couldn’t afford parchment! Now that’s a truly magical story, and it makes us want to show our appreciation for the Potter world in any way we can....

Mantiz’s Venus is an upcoming eGPU box and docking station for Thunderbolt 3-enabled laptops like the 2016 MacBook Pro. The Taiwanese-based company is working on bringing two eGPU boxes to market — the eccentric-looking Saturn, and the more subdued-looking Venus. The friendly folks at Mantiz agreed to send over a Venus eGPU/docking station, allowing me to take it for a quick test drive when paired together with my 13-inch 2016 MacBook Pro....

Grey’s Anatomy isn’t the only place where doctors build romantic relationships. Though Doctor Harleen Quinzel is most known for her “Mad Love” romance with the Joker, prompting her creation as Harley Quinn in the DC Universe, some may argue her greatest partnership/romance is with another iconic Batman villainess - Doctor Pamela Isley better known as Poison Ivy. Up until recently, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy weren’t considered an iconic power couple in the DC Universe, though there’s been non-stop speculation....

For fans of the Harry Potter series, thinking about all of the magical creatures that exist in the world can be really exciting. While there are many magical creatures that you wouldn’t want as a pet, unless you’re Hagrid, some of the most average seeming pets can actually be quite useful in the Harry Potter world. From the exotic pets Hagrid has had to your average toad or owl, there have been some rather interesting and useful pets in the series....

The world of Harry Potter is in full swing once more with the release of first spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a film that takes us back to JK Rowling’s universe some five years after Harry’s on-screen journey came to an end in The Deathly Hallows – Part 2. Of course, the events of the new movie take place decades before Harry’s famous defeat of Lord Voldemort and his decision to snap the Elder Wand in two, though the legendary wand he destroyed on that day is likely to play a crucial part in the overarching plot of the Fantastic Beasts films, thanks to the inclusion of Gellert Grindelwald....

Henry Thomas, who starred in The Haunting of Hill House, is returning for The Haunting of Bly Manor. Thomas is the third actor to return for the second season of Netflix’s horror anthology, along with Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Victoria Pedretti. The Haunting of Hill House premiered in 2018. Loosely based on the Shirley Jackson novel of the same name, the story centered on a family that moves into Hill House with the goal of renovating it and then selling it in order to build and design their own home....

Just about everything that chef Gordon Ramsay says or does is meme-worthy - a fact Redditors and YouTubers have happily proven over the last few years. However, there’s something special about Gordon’s infamous ‘Lamb Sauce’ bit. We mean, Good Lord, Gordon first uttered this legendary phrase back in 2006 and it’s still funny more than a decade later! In our opinion, the sheer variety of Lamb Sauce memes keep this classic Hell’s Kitchen joke alive and fresh....

Mission: Impossilble – Fallout star Henry Cavill demonstrates how to reload your arm guns, as he does in the already-famous bathroom fight scene from this summer’s Tom Cruise-led action blowout. Early reviews for Mission: Impossible 6 are in, and a consensus is already emerging that says this could be the best of the series. Projections indicate Fallout could end up with the biggest opening weekend ever for the franchise. A big part of Fallout’s success with critics, and a potential big draw for audiences, is all the stuntwork undertaken by Cruise....

While the event wasn’t as jam-packed as usual Apple showcases, there were a few things that may have easily slipped under the radar. Head below for our full roundup of everything Apple announced today…. A new iPad The star of the show was, of course, the new 9....

There is an upsetting amount of Neville Longbottom’s backstory that is left out of the movies. So much so, that even Matthew Lewis, the actor who plays the part of Neville, feels that his character kind of got gypped. Neville, although he seems to be a secondary character, is actually part of the glue that ties many of the story’s characters and plots together. So understandably, it can be easy to dismiss Neville as a background character if you have only seen the movies....

Harry Potter is the protagonist of the Harry Potter series, and he’s definitely a well-loved character by many fans. Harry might be the hero of the series, but he definitely has a lot of flaws. Many fans have pointed out that Harry can be rather annoying at times, and this is often because he’s not great at thinking things through. Given all the things Harry has to deal with, it’s understandable that he doesn’t always act perfectly....
