When you set up a new iPhone, you’re likely going to use the Apple Music app, especially since you get a three-month free trial. But when you buy an Android phone, is Apple Music the first music-streaming service you think about? Probably not. If you’re wondering how the Apple Music experience is on the Samsung Galaxy S21+, here it is. Samsung Galaxy S21+ is one of the best flagship phones for 2021....

The relationship in Harry Potter between Ron and Hermione is one that has caused some debate within the fandom. While some fans like their relationship and how it was built up over the books, other people feel that they wouldn’t have been great together. Some fans think that Ron and Hermione might have been better off in the long run being with other people. In fact, even J.K. Rowling herself has said that these two probably shouldn’t have gotten together....

What can be said about the sparkling shawl bead laden glassy-eyed witch that is Sybill Trelawney? She is known to be wacky, a little bit overly dramatic and of course, the seer who predicted Voldemort’s downfall. Her prophecy shaped the entire Harry Potter wizarding world, its characters, and storylines. Poor Trelawney is doomed not to be taken seriously as she is a descendent of Cassandra, the cursed Greek mythological diviner. No one would believe her predictions and Trelawney has much the same fate....
In the Harry Potter universe, Albus Dumbledore is widely regarded as the greatest wizard of the modern era – and rightly so. The Hogwarts headmaster was an exceptionally intelligent and extraordinarily talented sorcerer who mastered virtually every field of magic there is. Dumbledore’s magical skills were so great he was able to defeat legendary Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald, despite the latter possessing the supposedly unbeatable Elder Wand. Even Lord Voldemort – history’s all-time greatest Dark Wizard – was rumored to fear going wand-to-wand with Albus, which indicates just how impressive his spellcasting prowess truly was....
Rubeus Hagrid of the Harry Potter series is best known for his love of magical creatures and his fierce loyalty to both Harry and Dumbledore. As played wonderfully on screen by Robbie Coltrane, we have gotten to know Hagrid even more through the films. While he may not seem to be the smartest or have much magical ability, there are plenty of things about Hagrid that people tend to forget, or, get completely wrong....
For those who followed the Harry Potter books when they were releasing one at a time, the idea of Cho Chang still remains that of a seemingly unattainable dream girl. Cho was Harry’s main love interest from Prisoner of Azkaban to Order of the Phoenix, which meant that readers thought of her as Harry’s likely romantic match from 1999 to 2003. Even today, when Harry’s been known to have married Ginny Weasley since 2007, longtime fans still think of Cho when thinking of Harry’s love interest....
The Weasleys were always the favorite family in the Harry Potter franchise. Every fan, at some point, wanted a knitted sweater with their initial from Mrs. Weasley, or to play Quidditch in the back garden with the many Weasley children, or enjoy Christmas dinner with their entire family. Some family members had a more prominent role to play, and thus received more character growth than others. But for the most part, they were all present in some way - even if it was just little updates here and there from Ron....
You may or may not have heard about this by now, but a rumor spread that Warner Brothers was working on a Harry Potter prequel series for their streaming service. Unfortunately, it seems like that rumor has already been debunked. But it still got us thinking. According to the rumor, the production of the series was in the very early stages - hence why nobody knew much about it. They did site some parameters, such as it being a prequel based on or around Hogwarts....

Actress Hilary Duff has visions of Charles Manson in the new trailer for The Haunting of Sharon Tate. One-time Hollywood starlet Sharon Tate was one of five people brutally murdered by followers of Manson back in 1969. The murders have since been known as the Tate murders, and kicked off what would be an ongoing examination of one of the most infamous killings ever. Billed by many as irrefutable proof that the hippie-led 1960s social movements based on peace and love had officially come to a crashing, disastrous end, Manson’s ragtag group of hippie misfits, known as the Manson Family, gained worldwide attention after committing brutal acts of murder on unsuspecting victims....
In the current streaming wars, every major studio, network, or company is doing its best to come up with the most attractive (and affordable) subscription service, and WarnerMedia is no exception - with plans to add HBO Max to its subscription options. In October 2018, WarnerMedia announced its plans to launch an “over-the-top streaming service” with content from its different brands, such as HBO and The CW. The service was officially announced in July 2019 and its name was revealed to be HBO Max....
HBO and Lost’s Damon Lindelof are making a Watchmen TV show, but it’s going to be very different from Alan Moore’s iconic comic. Quite what the show - which is currently in the pilot stage - is has been the subject of much discussion, but from cryptic clues and set photos we can get an idea of what’s going on. Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen remains one of the most iconic and influential comics in the history of the medium....
macOS 10.12.2 was released to the public earlier today, and in this post we’ll take a hands-on look at some of the release’s most notable features. First and foremost, everyone should update to macOS 10.12.2 for the stability features alone, especially if you’re a new MacBook Pro user. But there are a couple of additional new features that users may be happy to find as well. TouchBar Screenshots The headlining new feature, if you can call it that, is the ability to take screenshots of the Touch Bar using a keyboard shortcut....
I’ve always liked the idea of using a battery case, but with a phone like the iPhone 7 Plus, a lack of battery life isn’t a problem that I encounter regularly enough to warrant the extra bulk. I also like the idea of a wallet case to help keep up with my driver’s license and credit cards, but with a phone as large as the iPhone 7 Plus, I find such a setup to be a tad unwieldy....
Connected outlets is one of the most crowded categories in Apple HomeKit, and turning dumb wall outlets into smart plugs is one of the easiest smart home upgrades. Today we’re taking a look at the new HomeKit-enabled Satechi Dual Smart Outlet that joined this category earlier this month. As we highlighted in our announcement coverage a few weeks ago, Satechi intentionally designed its Dual Smart Outlet to not block the outlet above or below it by using a side-by-side design with standard height....

In the world of Harry Potter, not all wizards (and witches) are created equal. This isn’t justification for Voldemort’s hateful rhetoric of, “might equals right.” There are just some magical users who are more skilled or accomplished than others. This list is all about them– the cream of the wizarding crop. The criteria for selecting the most powerful wizards in the Harry Potter universe was simple. It was all about sparsing out the extensive information that is out there to determine which Harry Potter characters have the most impressive feats to their name and how they accomplished them....
