Of all of the characters from the Harry Potter series (and there are many), Severus Snape might be the most controversial. He is a character that is rather polarizing. Some fans absolutely love his character arc and think that he was a good person deep down while other people think he’s at his core a bad person who didn’t deserve to be seen as a hero. Whether you love Snape or hate him, there’s no denying that he’s done some pretty shameless things....

Harry Potter forever changed the world in a literary and cinematic scope. Joanne Rowling, typically called J.K. Rowling, finished her book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 1995. It wasn’t until October 1996, after several rejections, that Bloomsbury Press accepted to publish her book. While it was a success in the UK, the book broke several records after Scholastic Books bought the rights to have the series released in the US....

Apple TV+ today released the trailer for a new series aimed at a preschool-aged audience, entitled ‘Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show’. The series will premiere exclusively on the service on November 5. The series stars Jack McBrayer, probably best known for his role as Kenneth Parcell in 30 Rock. As you might guess from the title, Jack will show preschoolers how little acts of kindness can change the world. Here’s the trailer for the latest addition to the Apple TV+ kids and family lineup:...

Since her explosive, bonkers, and downright badass introduction as The Joker’s favorite gal in Batman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn has become a fan-favorite Batman character and is perhaps one of the most beloved villains/anti-heroes in DC Comics’ extensive gallery. The character has become even more popular in recent years, managing to make a name for herself in Hollywood thanks to Margot Robbie’s undeniably magnetic interpretation. While she’s only had two adventures in the DC Extended Universe (so far), Margot Robbie’s Harley has already come into contact with some of the DC universe’s most exciting, terrifying, and badass characters....

Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey are becoming a more common pairing, especially thanks to the DC film Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). DC Comics has revealed a preview for the upcoming Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey series and it looks to be a wild ride for Harley and her (likely) reluctant teammates. The upcoming Black Label series will be co-written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with cover art and interiors by Conner and colors by Paul Mounts....

The world of Harry Potter hosts dozens upon dozens of amazing and fantastic creatures. The newest movie franchise, Fantastic Beasts, has given these creatures more of a chance to come into focus. However, in some cases, they’re not as threatening as one might expect. Many of the creatures included within Harry Potter lore are actually based on real lore throughout the world. And, more often than not, these creatures have been tamed somewhat....

Hasbro shows off Marvel Studios 10th Anniversary figures, Solo: A Star Wars Story collectibles, and Transformers movie toys during Toy Fair 2018.

Update: The article mistakenly referred to the script as Hellraiser Into Darkness; its actual title was Hellraiser Enter Darkness. The original article follows. Hellraiser: Judgment director Gary J. Tunnicliffe has revealed his alternate story pitch for the movie. The Hellraiser franchise has – no pun intended – been trapped in development hell for awhile now. Dimension has been trying to put together a remake of the original for at least a decade, with directors such as Patrick Lussier and Pascal Laugier being attached to the project at different stages; even series creator Clive Barker wrote a potential reboot script....

Accessory maker Henge Docks, best known for its docking stations made for MacBooks, announced today that it has signed up to be an official Apple reseller allowing it to offer Apple’s MacBooks and accessories bundled with its companion products. In order to do this, Henge Docks has partnered with Apple through the company’s Authorized Business Solution Provider (ABSP) program. One bundle offered by the company will include a new MacBook Pro with the company’s Horizontal Docking Station, while another includes an Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and Apple Magic Keyboard bundle with its Clique product that’s designed to connect those two accessories together into one neat package....

Since Apple debuted wireless charging support in its iPhones back in 2017, the market for wireless chargers has quickly become crowded. However, options for premium wireless chargers are more limited. Ahead of the launch of Courant’s CATCH:2 today, we’ve been able to spend some time with the slick aluminum and Italian leather-clad dual wireless charger. After launching last fall, Courant has seen success with its wireless chargers being adopted by luxury hotels like The Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons....

With any large franchise, there are always going to be a number of fans. Fans can engage with things they love in many ways, and one popular way that people interact with their fandom is through shipping. Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey (originally titled Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) has appealed especially to many female and LGBT+ fans, and there are a lot of popular ships to come out of the show that reflects that....

During Warner Bros.’ CinemaCon presentation Tuesday, Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) star Margot Robbie confirmed that Quinn is not actually a member of the Birds of Prey team. In DC Comics lore, Birds of Prey is the name of a female team that was originally begun by Black Canary and Barbara Gordon, and later took on various different members, including Huntress and Lady Blackhawk....

Harley Quinn is finally putting the Joker behind her, and making herself the star of a revenge fairy tale in the process. That kind of heightened blending of genres, violence, and tragic romance is pretty standard for the average Harley story, but the new Harley Quinn Vs. The Joker comic does it all with a purpose: to show Joker what it feels like to be victimized. Speaking with Tim Seeley, writer of this issue along with all others in DC’s Batman: Prelude to the Wedding miniseries, the painful past Harley and Joker share was a major topic of conversation....

While the Harry Potter series does have two canon LGBT characters, many fans have felt like other characters would have been better choices for representation. While Dumbledore and Grindlewald were gay, this wasn’t actually revealed in the books themselves. Also, many people felt that the way their relationship was handled wasn’t that positive and that having other examples of LGBT representation was necessary. While this didn’t happen, many fans have enjoyed shipping certain couples together and creating headcanons in fandom that certain characters were queer....

The wizarding world of Harry Potter is full of all kinds of mysterious creatures and beings, and they all seem to coexist and intermingle with wizards and witches in a variety of different ways. One of the most integral parts of wizarding society is goblins, a kind of humanoid magical creature that share a lot of commonalities with wizards along with some very distinct differences. Goblins are a race or species of magical creatures that both exist within the wizarding world and who have a society and culture of their own....

And like any super popular film and book franchise, the Harry Potter series has become the subject of many an internet meme....
