Since the old iWatch rumor reared its head again in December, there have been a few more reliable sources adding weight to the idea that we could see a smart watch from Apple this year. Over the weekend, The New York Times, which said essentially the same thing in 2011, followed up the rumors with a report that Apple is working on a curved glass watch prototype running iOS. The Wall Street Journal quickly followed with more information, claiming Apple and partner Foxconn are now testing wearable, watch-like devices....
Today Apple released several new betas, but the most interesting new release among the flood of new software is the iOS 10.1 beta for the iPhone 7 Plus. That’s because the iOS 10.1 beta includes a preview of the new Portrait Mode in the iPhone 7 Plus Camera app, and we’ve taken the new feature for a brief test drive on video. Portrait mode was the much-hyped depth of field effect showcased by Phil Schiller at the recent iPhone 7 event....
HarmonQuest season 3 episode 1 found its ragtag group of adventurers heading to Goblopolis. Early in his career Dan Harmon created shows like Computerman and wrote cult pilot Heat Vision And Jack, a Knight Rider parody starring Jack Black. Harmon made a name for himself with NBC comedy Community, which debuted in 2009. The show featured a great cast, including Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Chevy Chase and Donald Glover (Solo: A Star Ways Story), and established Harmon’s style of constant gags and meta-humor that usually combined with an emotional payoff at the end of any given episode....
Intelligence can mean many things — especially if you’re a wizard. Magic spells, potions, and charms all take a certain kind of mind to master. And not every wizard is up to the task. Yet, some excel at not just mastering the magical arts but putting them to practical use as well. When it comes to the smartest heroes in the Harry Potter series, there are many options to choose from....

From pageants to dating on television to, now, dancing on television, Brown hasn’t had much time to unwind and reflect. But away from the Dancing with the Stars stage, she’s making time for herself, reclaiming her identity and newfound sense of self.

Back in 2014, the Norwegian film, In Order of Disappearance, was released, earning international praise for its blend of action, black comedy, and realistic characters. Fast forward to today, and the film is being remade by Hollywood, as the Liam Neeson thriller, Cold Pursuit. Unlike many remakes, this new version is being helmed by the same director of the original, Hans Petter Moland. While the setting has been updated to the United States (though the film was shot in Alberta, Canada), Cold Pursuit goes to great lengths to retain the feel and sensibilities of the original, and thus feels uniquely European in its sensibilities, which should come as a breath of fresh air in a world of homogeneous Hollywood blockbusters....

The Happy Hour podcast is available for download on iTunes and through our dedicated RSS feed…...
James and Lily Potter are two pivotal characters that Harry Potter fans don’t get enough of in the films. While the legend of their sacrifice for their son precedes them, only the invested book readers know the full details about the Potters. For instance, the fact that Lily and Harry’s eyes are green (not blue) is a tiny detail that fans still fret over. In the films, we also see James’ terrible bullying of Snape and viewers barely get any information on how Lily came to love someone so hostile....
While it doesn’t loom large in the movies, the Sacred 28 is an integral part of the back story, the brilliant Potter lore put in place by J.K. Rowling. The story goes something like this: In the 1930s a compendium, The Sacred 28, appeared. It was claimed that it lists the 28 pureblood magical families. From Abbott and Black through Yaxley and Weasley, the Sacred 28 was embraced by Voldemort, who, as we all know was keen on magical blood remaining pure....
No two wizards are alike. When the first Harry Potter novel landed on American and British bookshelves, it carried two titles: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the states, and Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone across the pond. However slight the verbiage may be, it marked the first point of diversion between two types of wizards: those who practice magic in Europe, and those who do so in North America....
If you ask the average fan of comic book movies, or even comic themselves, they’re likely to claim that Marvel and DC Comics are sworn enemies, lifelong opponents in the superhero sphere. And while that may be an exaggeration, one Avenger has made their opinion known: Hawkeye a.k.a. Clint Barton isn’t rushing out to see Joaquin Phoenix’s version of Joker any time soon. Ordinarily that might not seem like a fact worth commenting on, considering how little time your average Avenger has for… well, anything other than avenging....
This article contains spoilers for Batman #88. Harley Quinn and Catwoman are teaming up - to help Batman. Created as a secondary character in Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has gradually become DC Comics’ “fourth pillar,” after Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

Blade Runner 2049 star Harrison Ford says at San Diego Comic-Con that he’s on board with rebooting every franchise he’s started. After years of appearing in small supporting roles in such notable films as American Graffiti and The Conversation, Ford’s breakthrough role, of course, came in 1977 as Han Solo in the original Star Wars . The role instantly cemented Ford’s status as a Hollywood icon and elevated the actor to leading man roles, including turns in such classics as Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 and Blade Runner in 1982....
In the Harry Potter series, romance isn’t the main focus at all. However, seeing as Harry and his friends are teenagers in the books, crushes, dating, and teen romance do play a role somewhat especially as Harry and his friends get older. While Harry briefly dated Cho Chang, Ginny Weasley is the only person he had a serious relationship with while at Hogwarts, and she’s also the person that he ends up marrying and being with his entire life....
Aurors serve as one of the magical world’s greatest protections against the Dark Arts in the world of Harry Potter.

Only the bravest and most skilled witches and wizards ultimately become Aurors and have what it takes to survive and succeed in the field. There are many powerful Aurors, but we’re here only to look at the cream of the crop....
Ah, another Weasley… As many fans of the Harry Potter fandom can undoubtedly attest, the moments with Ron Weasley and his family were one of the most endearing aspects of the series. From Molly Weasley’s handmade Christmas sweaters, Ron’s hilarious banter, or Fred and George’s wild pranks and antics, it always seems like the Weasley family could find a way to exude joy. Throughout many of Harry’s adventures, Ron was (nearly) always there to stand by his friend and pick up the pieces when times were bleak....
Obviously the Harry Potter film and book series is about the titular character of Harry Potter, but honestly, Harry Potter would not be the boy he was or the man that he became if it wasn’t for Albus Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore is one of the most powerful and brilliant wizards who ever lived, and he will go down in history alongside the likes of Merlin and the founders of Hogwarts as one of the greatest wizards in history....
