We’ve only just got our hands on the new Apple Watch Series 7, and we happen to have the new green model. Much has been made about what the new watch colors actually look like in person, especially the green, since it’s the one Apple is choosing to market most prominently. Now that we’ve seen it, we can confidently say it’s one of the best aluminum finishes Apple has ever shipped....

By this point, it’s safe to say that once again the Star Wars franchise has more than flexed its muscles at box offices everywhere. The series that so many of us grew up with has, well, grown. It has gifted an entire new generation with what are arguably the same levels of intrigue and excitement that past generations have felt, thanks to Episode VII - The Force Awakens. As the franchise continues to grow, the demand to be closer than ever with the Star Wars universe and its characters has hit unparalleled levels....
Thanks to the premier of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, magizoologist Newt Scamander is the latest addition to the cinematic Harry Potter universe. When it comes to the books, however, Scamander has been around for awhile. While his name might not be completely familiar to general audiences watching the latest film from Warner Bros., J.K. Rowling actually introduced him and his famous book (from which the movie gets its name) way back during her first trip to the wizarding world....
Of all the characters from Harry Potter, the group of friends known as the Marauders might be some of the most popular with fans. Sirius Black, James Potter, and Remus Lupin are all beloved. While they are kind of minor characters that don’t get a lot of direct focus, the stories of these friends during their time at Hogwarts is interesting to many fans of the series. The Marauders, excluding Peter Pettigrew, are all complex characters that have flaws as well as many strengths....
There are a lot of big bad baddie squads in fiction, but there are very few organizations that are scarier or more repulsive than the Death Eaters. These dark wizards and witches follow the most evil dark wizard of all time, Lord Voldemort. These characters are severely lacking in redeeming qualities, and they don’t even bother treating each other with the smallest shred of kindness that they can muster. No one who knows of the Death Eaters would expect them to be kind to anyone, but they could be nasty to one another too....
This is great news for Potterheads! Any fan of J.K. Rowling’s epic tale of boy wizard Harry Potter would no doubt jump at the chance to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and now they’re one step closer. Jam City, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, and Portkey Games will be releasing a new role-playing game for your smartphone called Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, and many of the cast of the hit movies are involved....

Grimmauld Place is the tattered house of the Black family. Hidden between two unsuspecting London apartments, the place plays host to a variety of bizarre happenings, as well as a few more heart-warming moments. It’s fair to say we see a lot more of the house in the books, but considering the political turmoil happening when it becomes the base of the Order Of The Phoenix, there are a few other things overshadowing it....
Harry Potter is without a doubt one of the biggest franchises, with one of the biggest and most die-hard fandoms. Fans - or Potterheads - often take their love for the series to great heights, especially when it comes to showing their House Pride. The Sorting Hat quiz on Pottermore offers the most accurate test to determine what Hogwarts house you belong in. Of the four houses, Ravenclaw is the house for intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and wit....
In the Harry Potter series, there are many rules in the wizarding world about magic. These rules are all about what kind of magic is legal to do and who is allowed to use magic. The Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery sets up the laws that say that underage wizards and witches are not allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts. However, the exact rules of this decree don’t always seem to be consistent or to make a lot of sense....
The Harry Potter franchise started in 1997 with the publication of The Philosopher’s Stone (while the U.S. version, The Sorcerer’s Stone, was released a year later). It has since been followed up with 6 more books to wrap up Harry’s saga, and several more tie-in books. The Wizarding World gained even more traction in mainstream media thanks to the countless movie adaptations that have cropped up over the decades, including the main storyline and the Fantastic Beasts spin-off series....
Ah, Harry Potter. The series of books and movies that took the world by storm. When you think of Harry Potter, you think of Harry’s lightning bolt scar, his friendship with Ron and Hermione, his battles with Voldemort, and his rivalry with one of his classmates, Draco Malfoy. These two rivals are iconic. They’re definitely one of the most recognizable rivalries in any form of media. Even those who haven’t read or seen Harry Potter have probably heard about this famous rivalry....
The Harry Potter films and books are full of characters that audiences immediately cling onto. That is one of the defining legacies of the series’ success. These characters and their journies are so fascinating to watch. But, that being said, not all of them were perfect. A few were honestly pretty muddled. Though few and far between, for every fantastic character arc there were just as many missed opportunities. Here are some of the best and worst character arcs of the Harry Potter series....
Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)’s title change was done to help improve the film’s ticket sales. Despite riding waves of positive buzz into theaters and receiving excellent reviews, the latest entry in the DCEU stumbled out of the gates at the box office. Birds of Prey posted the lowest opening weekend for any DC adaptation since 2010, grossing just $33 million domestically. Even for a film that had modest expectations coming in, that turn of events was concerning and left people wondering what exactly went wrong....
Sirius Black is one of the iconic characters of Harry Potter. Although he’s not the main character and is only actually featured in three books out of seven (or four, if you count his sort-of ghost appearance), he played a driving force in the story. Prisoner of Azkaban, especially, was all about him. Most of his life, however, took place before the books even began, which means certain things about Sirius are often missed and forgotten....
Warwick Davis has expressed an interest in appearing in the Fantastic Beasts films, which would make him one of the few actors to appear in both Wizarding World movie franchises. Davis played multiple roles in the Harry Potter movies, as he appeared as both Professor Filius Flitwick and Griphook the goblin, taking over the role from Verne Troyer when he was recast in the last Harry Potter movie. The first Fantastic Beasts movie was set seventy years before the events of Harry Potter, which means many of the series’ principle players have yet to be born....
Hera crash lands on Yavin 4 in new Star Wars Rebels promo. The Disney XD show has successfully rolled out their latest season this week with a two-parter, Sabine-heavy arc that mined deep in the Mandalore story and revealed a few bits from her days at the Imperial Academy. Next week, however, it seems like the leader of the Ghost crew will take center stage with what possibly going to be a Hera-centric outing....
Apple has gradually brought 5G to almost its entire product lineup, starting with the iPhone 12 and expanding most recently to the iPhone SE, iPad Air, and iPad mini. While we’ve long known that 5G can have an impact on your device’s battery life, a new test from The Wall Street Journal puts the situation into perspective… How 5G can affect your iPhone’s battery life The test, which The Wall Street Journal acknowledges isn’t necessarily perfect, consisted of streaming a YouTube video with the quality set to “auto....
