A company called AnoStyle offers a unique method of anodization that permanently alters the color of an iPhone 5 or iPad mini, and it just became available internationally last week, so I decided to give it a whirl and turn my black iPhone into gold. There isn’t much to report besides everything turned out great and I love the result. It feels and looks like my iPhone, only in gold.

J.K. Rowling did a marvelous job of bringing every aspect of the Harry Potter franchise to life, be it through her books, or through her unrelenting responsiveness to the questions of her fans. While the wizarding world is rich with magical detail, there is one place that yet remains shrouded in secrecy. Stationed deep beneath the halls of the British Ministry of Magic, the Department of Mysteries continues to study and uncover the grandest and most terrifying secrets of the known world....

The Malfoys are a wealthy and fantastically arrogant pure-blood family. They are the foils to the main heroes, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who hail from more humble backgrounds. There’s also the little fact that the Malfoys were big supporters of the fiendish and powerful wizard Lord Voldemort. As Voldemort slowly regained his power throughout the series, so too did the Malfoys become more serious threats to our heroes and the Wizarding World....

Luna Lovegood is one of Harry Potter’s friends at Hogwarts who is most influential in his life, outside of Ron and Hermione. While Luna might not come into the books until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, her eccentric personality and loyalty to her friends makes her memorable and well-loved. While Luna might have many traits of her Ravenclaw house, she also has quite a few that would make her fit in well as a Gryffindor....

The magic of Harry Potter transformed the fantasy genre for a generation, both in books and movies. For millions of people, words like accio and lumos have become a part of a common vocabulary.

But of all the powers displayed in the Harry Potter universe, which ones are the best?...

The play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has gotten a new logo reminiscent of the Harry Potter movies. However, Warner Bros. Pictures isn’t working on a film adaptation… not yet, anyway. The Boy Who Lived’s battle with Lord Voldemort came to a close in 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, about four years after J.K. Rowling published her final Harry Potter book. Since then, the Wizarding World has returned to the big screen with the Fantastic Beasts movies, a prequel series that chronicles the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald’s rise to power in the lead-up to WWII....

Draco Malfoy has been a fan-favorite character for years. He is one character that many fans wanted to see more of a redemption arc. While he didn’t end the Harry Potter series as a villain, his redemption arc was given way less focus in the books than Snape’s, and many felt that he was more deserving of that attention. The books often made it seem like Draco was the worst, but a lot of this is just because everything is from Harry’s perspective....

Because many of these accusations have been over events which occured in the workplace - where the men accused had a position of power - several of the accused men have lost their jobs over the accusations....
