Dumbledore from Harry Potter might not have been the wise, old mentor that he was made out to be for most of the series, but he still has a lot of bits of wisdom. While Dumbledore is a more complex and flawed character than Harry, and readers, realized, he does have many good qualities. He clearly has made some huge mistakes in his life, and this could contribute to why he has a good amount of wisdom once Harry meets him....
Horace Slughorn was lured back to Hogwarts by Albus Dumbledore dangling Harry Potter in front of him like a collector’s item. In the movies, he may not have been as rotund as we expected, nor had his walrus-like mustache as J. K. Rowling wrote, but Jim Broadbent captured his deep regret mixed with greedy pursuit of comfort and influence. In those latter things, Slughorn would often skirt the law to achieve them or ignore responsibilities to friends for personal gain....
“The music lives on” was how Apple discontinued the iPod touch. A few weeks later, the company is bringing very strong iPod-ad vibes by promoting the Spatial Audio feature on AirPods with the new Harry Style album that’s just been released. The 68 seconds video is very colorful and highlights the AirPods 3, the Spatial Audio feature, and of course, the brit boy Harry Styles. When you watch it below, you’ll also feel the same 2000s iPod-ad style....
The hero named Hawkgirl has faced threats and adventures across the universe, but DC’s Mysteries of Love in Space #1 is pitting her up against a new kind of crisis. For the first time in her millennia-long history… she’s forced to spend Valentine’s Day alone. Hawkgirl is the last person who will complain about her predicament, of course. But even with thousands of years of reincarnated love, recent events in the DC Universe have actually made her and Hawkman’s romance seem boring....
With season 2 of The Hills: New Beginnings already starting filming, married couple and The Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt weigh in on Kaitlynn Carter and Brody Jenner split and Carter’s brief relationship with Miley Cyrus and talk about what fans can expect to see on season 2. Pratt and Jenner have been friends since the second season of The Hills. Over the course of the remaining five seasons, the pair have had a complicated relationship....
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Detroit: Become Human. There are many, many available endings in Detroit: Become Human. Perhaps the best one sees everyone with a happy ending. It is necessary to maintain relationships, groom the public image of the Androids, and get very good at Quick Time Events to pull it off. But a perfectly happy ending is possible in this game. Characters can die shortly after they are first introduced, thus drastically shortening play time, or they can be kept alive throughout the entirety of the game....
As was noted during Apple’s barrage of press releases on Tuesday, you can now purchase Nike’s Apple Watch Sport Bands separately. Previously, customers had to purchase the Apple Watch Nike+ hardware itself in order to score one of the breathable bands with compression-molded perforations. In this post, we go hands-on with all three of the Nike Sport Bands, which include Pure Platinum/White, Anthracite/Black, and Black/Volt. Watch our hands-on video for a look at each individually packaged band....
After Apple canceled AirPower, another company picked up the idea and brought something very similar to market a few months later called AirUnleashed. With the same design as AirPower and wireless charging for three devices, including Apple Watch, AirUnleashed likely hit a number of checkboxes for Apple customers. Now the company is back with a limited black edition and we’ve been able to test it out. If you didn’t catch coverage of AirUnleashed when the white version launched this past summer, here are a few details to fill you in....
Over the course of the insanely long Harry Potter book and film series, the character of Harry Potter himself has undergone a pretty intense transformation. He went from a lonely, isolated, and rejected young boy to a heroic young man who had a small world of people who loved him. And one of those people who he developed a strong relationship with was Luna Lovegood. Luna was one of the oddest birds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but she eventually came out of her shell and formed relationships with quite a few people around her....
Obviously, Hermione and Ron don’t technically become official boyfriend and girlfriend until the closing moments of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows. By this time, they only get about five minutes more screen time, so there isn’t really enough to find a multitude of reasons to break up. As such, we’ve scoured the entire Harry Potterfranchise to find six moments where Hermione should have ended her friendship with Ron and never agreed to date him all those years later, and four times when Ron should have done the same....
Gordon Ramsay is one of the best chefs around, and also one of the most popular thanks to his many television competition series, including Masterchef and Masterchef Junior, 24 Hours to Hell and Back, and, of course, Hell’s Kitchen. Hell’s Kitchen rose to popularity after airing in 2005, a year after the U.K. version debuted, thanks to Ramsay’s foul-mouthed way of dealing with contestants. Season after season, he is seen screaming expletives, throwing raw pieces of chicken against the wall, and calling competitors “donkeys” or telling them to “wake up” as he tosses what they try to pass off for food in the trash....

In Harry Potter, brewing potions is an exceedingly difficult task, as both the knowledge of magic and combining of numerous obscure ingredients is necessary to even have a shot at making functioning magical potions. Yet, they are absolutely necessary, as some problems in the Wizarding World can’t be fixed by wand magic. However, there are some potions in the Harry Potter universe that are easier to make than others, some of which an ordinary muggle like yourself could brew using normal non-fictional ingredients… with the emphasis being on “could,” as according to Rowling, no magical potion can be made without the use of wands, despite these same potions being usable by non magical folk as well....
One Direction singer Harry Styles was among the names being seriously considered to play the young Han Solo, at least according to a person in-the-know. Known for the time being as the Untitled Star Wars Han Solo Anthology Film, the coveted role in the second Star Wars spinoff ended up, of course, going to up-and-coming actor Alden Ehrenreich. The Golden Ticket to play the young version of the iconic space scoundrel, didn’t come to Ehrenreich easy, though, as the shortlist of Han Solo contenders reportedly included Taron Edgerton (Kingsman: The Secret Service), Jack O’Connell (Unbroken) and Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction) - who later admitted he was glad he didn’t get the part....
Hayley Atwell isn’t ruling out more appearances as Peggy Carter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Audiences fell in love with Atwell’s portrayal of Agent Carter back in Captain America: The First Avenger, but the film’s 1940s setting didn’t stop her from making multiple appearances since. Not only has Atwell racked up four appearances in the movies, she also starred in her own series for ABC, cameoed on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and even led her own One-Shot....
Last year, Netflix brought a shuffle play button for when you don’t know what to watch next. Now, HBO Max has followed the trend, and it’s now offering a similar feature but for a limited number of shows. This shuffle button has been one of HBO Max’s most-requested features, and it’s now available to all desktop users. Weirdly, only 45 shows are available within this new feature, which means not all the streaming service catalogs will be discoverable when you’re trying to find what to watch next....
HBO’s Game Of Thrones Valentine’s Day cards feature some truly horrible puns - but they’re weirdly romantic too. Games Of Thrones is based off the epic saga by author George R. R. Martin and the show first debuted in 2011. The HBO fantasy series appeared to be in major trouble following its original pilot, which was labeled a boring disaster. The Game Of Thrones pilot was almost entirely reshot following early feedback, which helped make both the story and character relationships much clearer....
There are very few properties from the 80s that haven’t been tapped for a big-screen remake in recent years. The decade has been fertile ground for producers looking to get into franchise filmmaking, with attempts ranging from Transformers to The Smurfs. Mostly because most of the children’s programming in that era was primarily designed to sell toys and merchandising. (Oh, how times have changed.) One of the last IP’s begging to be brought to the theaters has been Masters of the Universe and it seems that the wait is coming to an end....
iOS 15 is here. Unlike other years, Apple Music didn’t receive a redesign or a handful of new tweaks on its app with this new version of the iPhone operating system. However, Apple is creating broader integration with the Music app on iOS 15. Here’s what’s new. Apple didn’t wait until iOS 15 to introduce Lossless and Dolby Atmos with Spatial Audio support to Apple Music. Instead, these features were launched to everyone on the same day as the WWDC 2021 keynote with iOS 14....
Smart shades and blinds are cool, but they are not cheap. The SOMA Smart Shades is an adaptor for existing blinds to make them remotely controllable without having to shell out for all-new blinds. For HomeKit integration, you need at least one Soma Connect hub too. The SOMA Smart Shades comprises of a little box that hooks into your blind’s cord, and a wireless hub. The box needs to be positioned under your window, roughly at the point where the cord of the blind dangles down....
