Fans would love to see a Harry Potter And The Cursed Child movie come together, but will a big screen version of Harry’s “final” adventure ever happen? The Harry Potter movies are based on the best-selling book series by J.K. Rowling, with the first movie being 2001’s Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone. The release of a new movie would become a major event over the next decade, with the series coming to a close with the eighth installment Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 in 2011....

UPDATE: The Rey piece has been made, but is not included in copies of the game sold in U.S. stores. Star Wars movies aren’t the only element from the franchise that can rake in billions of dollars. Ever since the infamous Kenner “empty box” action figure campaign in 1977 (where fans mailed in a voucher to receive the toys at a later date), Star Wars merchandise has been a goldmine for manufacturers, giving fans an opportunity to bring their favorite characters home and play out further adventures of their own....

The Haunting of Hill House star Victoria Pedretti is returning for the show’s second season, The Haunting of Bly Manor. Created by Mike Flanagan, The Haunting of Hill House reshaped Shirley Jackson’s classic gothic horror novel of the same name into a modern drama about a family whose lives are forever changed after they spend a summer in an old mansion called Hill House. The show went on to become a critical darling and one of Netflix’s most-discussed original series last year, thanks to its twisty narrative, rich themes, and stylized filmmaking....

If you didn’t get that joke, there are probably two reasons. The first is that it wasn’t funny at all, so there’s nothing to really “get.” The second reason will at least enable it to make some sense to you. Manny Coats, one of Helium 10’s founders, launched twistedhumor.com, his first online business, in 1999. Several startups and 16 years later, Manny launched Helium 10 with his co-founder, Guillermo Puyol....

Ian Anthony Dale has been upgraded from a recurring character to the main cast, while Meaghan Rath and Beulah Koale will play new characters.

HBO’s Game of Thrones prequel has set an early summer filming start date, says programming president Casey Bloys. Jane Goldman will serve as showrunner for the series, after developing the idea along with Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin, with Jessica Jones director S.J.

After we got a sneak peek at the feature last month, Instagram has quietly rolled out the option to create and publish posts from its website on desktop (but not on iPad). The new functionality includes the ability to use filters and edit photos and videos as well. Check out a closer look below including how to post to Instagram on Mac and PC. If the feature is available for you, you’ll see a new pop-up alert at the top of your screen on the Instagram homepage after logging in that says: “Now you can create and share posts directly from your computer....

Apple released the third iOS 14.5 beta to developers Tuesday afternoon, and although the release didn’t go as smoothly as normal, all ended up well. This latest beta sees the return of the default music player requests via Siri that was available in the initial iOS 14.5 beta release, but was unavailable in beta 2. The release also brings about a new Find My Splash Screen, the Item tab in the Find My app to track third-party accessories and Apple’s upcoming AirTags, Item Safety Alerts functionality, and more....

Ever since Apple announced that Spatial Audio was coming to Apple Music and all devices with an H1 or W1 chip would support it, many companies started to promote this technology. For users who have an AirPods Pro or AirPods Max, this experience is even better thanks to the dynamic head tracking feature. With that, the indie developers from Portal Labs just updated Portal, their iOS wellbeing app to take full advantage of Spatial Audio technology....

Hannah Brown thinks that Dancing With the Stars could break her bad luck streak on reality TV. After having bad luck with love on The Bachelor and then as a lead on The Bachelorette, she thinks this time on TV could be third time’s a charm. Fans watched as this pageant queen appeared on season 23 of The Bachelor, where she vied for Colton Underwood’s heart. After being sent home 7th place, she was cast as the lead of season 15 of The Bachelorette....

The Harry Potter franchise is special in many ways. At least two generations have already grown up either reading or watching the story of the Boy Who Lived (or doing both). No wonder it holds such a special place in the hearts of many reluctant readers and hardcore fans alike. But even though every character J.K. Rowling created is unique, you could still see some stereotypical traits they possess (not that it makes them any less interesting)....

When Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was first announced, many fans assumed that the titular cursed child was meant to be Albus Severus Potter, as the promotional material for the play talked about how it was his story. J.K. Rowling pushed for the fans to keep the premise of the play a secret for as long as possible, as the story had revelations about the original books that would change the series forever....

A lot of Harry Potter fans are left scratching their heads, wondering as to why Hermione Granger was placed in the house of Gryffindor rather than the house of Ravenclaw. Not only is Hermione wickedly intelligent but as proven by The Yule Ball scene from the book, she can also totally rock the color blue. There are many reasons as to why Hermione should have totally been a Ravenclaw, but there are also several great arguments as to why she makes the perfect Gryffindor....

The Professors of Hogwarts were an eclectic bunch. While some of them were full-on evil and tried to murder or torture the students, like Dolores Umbridge or the Carrows, others were more morally ambiguous. In fact, most of them seem to veer on the “neutral” territory, focused only on their subjects or their students, never willingly taking sides, until the situation called for it. Below are the Dungeons & Dragons Alignments of some of the most popular Professors who’ve taught at Hogwarts....

After two movies of sunny skies, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a major turning point for the franchise. It’s where things begin to dark turn and gritty, with the seeds of Lord Voldemort’s return to full power firmly planted within this blockbuster due to Peter Pettigrew’s escape at the end. The movie did a brilliant job at capturing the bleak tone of the book but, inevitably, changed some details from the core material....

Dame Helen Mirren feels that Academy Awards for stunt performers are long overdue. The Oscar-winning actress considers these “craftsmen” every bit as deserving as any of the other categories recognized by the awards ceremony. For decades now, the men and women behind the death-defying stunts in movies great and small have been fighting to be a part of what is considered the pinnacle of awards ceremonies. Yet, despite rallying for inclusion outside the offices of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2016, little headway has been made....
