The 2019 Hellboy reboot failed because it was too obsessed in bringing the world of Mike Mignola’s comics to life on the big screen. While the film suffered from various production problems behind the scenes, the movie’s lack of success ultimately stems from it doing too much, too quickly, to try and establish its universe before addressing the film’s central plotline. After one weekend, it is clear that Hellboy is both a commercial and critical flop....

Henry Cavill says he’s still the DCEU’s Superman. Together with director Zack Snyder, the actor kicked off Warner Bros’ own superhero interconnected universe via 2013’s Man of Steel. The actor reprised the iconic DC role two more times in 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice where he starred opposite Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader, and 2017’s Justice League. Now, both Snyder and Affleck are officially out of the expanding franchise, but Cavill maintains that he remains its Kal-El/Clark Kent....

When Beats 1 launched earlier this summer, two of the things Apple and its hosts were adamant about were that the station had no specific genre and that it was meant to be a global representation of music. Looking to investigate Apple’s success at following through with those goals, Quartz has analyzed all of the songs played on Beats 1 during a one month period from early July to early August…...

This week Apple joined Twitter. Yep. Along with that, Zac and Benjamin discuss OS X’s first ransomware, and later on we’ll go over our iOS 10 wishlist and talk about what Apple needs to make the next version better than ever. The Happy Hour podcast is available for download on iTunes and through our dedicated RSS feed. Big thanks to Harry’s this episode.

Harry Potter fans are extremely passionate about their fandom and can’t seem to get enough of J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World. They’ve been anxiously awaiting the newest spinoff film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them for nearly two years, with it finally premiering this month on November 18th. Recently, it was confirmed by director David Yates that one of the most beloved characters in the series, Professor Albus Dumbledore, would appear in the second Fantastic Beasts film alongside Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander....

Of the Golden trio in the Harry Potter series, the least one to stand out is Ron Weasley. When asked which character is the favorite from fans, the answer is almost certainly Harry, followed closely by Hermione. Ron is almost always in third place – which is a pretty solid position considering there are dozens and dozens of characters in the series – mostly because of how the films portrayed him....

In the Harry Potter series, it’s Hermione who is seen as the most intelligent of the group. While Hermione is extremely smart and a talented witch, she’s not the only talented magic user in her year. Harry definitely isn’t as smart as Hermione in many ways, but he’s an advanced wizard at times in his own right. But, on the other hand, there are many ways where he’s actually behind his peers when it comes to magic and the wizarding world....

The provocative new science fiction horror tale, Chimera, tells the story of a mad scientist who crosses ethical boundaries and enters into a world where science becomes unholy black magic. Henry Ian Cusick (The Passage, The 100, Inhumans) stars as Quint, a scientist who studies the real-life Turritopsis jellyfish in an effort to save his children from their terminal condition. Directed by first-time filmmaker Maurice Haeems, Chimera resembles a mix of classic “mad scientist” science fiction, horrific body horror tales of the 1980s and beyond, and the visually stunning color-coded sterility of modern day auteurs like Shane Carruth and Nicolas Winding Refn....

Harley Quinn has been a fan-favorite character since her first appearance on Batman: The Animated Series. However, since Margot Robbie’s performance as the character in both Suicide Squad and Birds Of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) she’s become somewhat more of a household name, even bagging herself an R rated animated TV show on the DC streaming service. If you haven’t checked it out yet then what are you waiting for?...

The holiday season is the perfect time to rewatch the Harry Potter movies – and if you’re a fan of fantasy stories over Hallmark romances, that’s likely your go-to series for December. But sometimes, the movies just don’t cut it, and fans of the Harry Potter films will find themselves looking for a new story to dive into. That’s where books come in handy. And thankfully, there are plenty of novels and series out there that will appeal to fans of the Harry Potter world....

The Harry Potter universe is one that’s managed to cast a spell over the entire world, introducing children and adults alike to a world of mysticism and wonder like none they’d ever seen before. In bringing that magical land to readers all the way back in 1997 with debut novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, author J. K. Rowling could never have predicted the huge success that would then follow as she went on to release one of the most read novel series of all time, consisting of seven books and moving onto the big screen in 2001....

You may have heard the news that there are four new ebooks heading our way, courtesy of Pottermore. They’re inspired by the Harry Potter museum exhibit – which had several real-life examples of the inspiration for Harry Potter. The first of the ebooks is Harry Potter: A Journey Through Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts. And it talks all about some of the real-life events and folklore that J.K. Rowling pulled from to create her hit series....

As all Harry Potter fans will know, the Boy Who Lived isn’t exactly a hero in the conventional sense. Yes, he vanquished Voldemort and his dastardly Death Eaters, but he also goofed off, made mistakes and was a less-than-perfect student. Despite his fame, he wanted to be an ordinary boy, and in that sense, he was. The same’s true of his eventual wife, Ginny Weasley (who is not a boy, as you’d probably spotted)....

Hayley Atwell’s latest social media post once again fans the flames of persistent rumors that she may be filming a cameo for the still-untitled upcoming Avengers 4. The British actress’ character, Peggy Carter, has already died of natural causes as seen in Captain America: Civil War, but that does not mean that she can’t come back to the lore moving forward. With the cumulative nature of the fourth Avengers film as it wraps up the long-running story arc that the franchise has been treading since its inception, Peggy’s return - even for a brief moment - is not entirely impossible....

SPOILERS ahead for those not caught up on Arrow Arrow is back, and after an explosive midseason premiere, there’s a new Black Canary in town. In ‘Who Are You?’, team Arrow is trying to deal with Prometheus’s latest trick - the reappearance of Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). Of course, the Laurel who made her reappearance at the end of the midseason finale isn’t the real Laurel. Instead, as many fans predicted, she is Earth-2’s Black Siren, and she’s up to no good....

After going hands-on with iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, it’s now time to lend attention to macOS Catalina top features.

Professor McGonagall appears to be as tightly wound as her signature bun hairstyle. Her stern demeanor strikes fear in the hearts of every Hogwarts student, from the grass-green first years to the seasoned seventh years. To McGonagall, tardiness, mischief, and rule-breaking are on egregious par with the Unforgivable Curses. Try any monkey business in her class and… well, you don’t want to know what happens to the monkey. That being said, McGonagall isn’t some mindless follower of authority....
