Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans are one of the most famous treats in the Harry Potter world. They were invented by accident, so the story goes, when Bertie Bott was trying to make sweets based on food, but accidentally made one taste like a dirty sock. He recognized the amazing potential: A risk with every mouthful! His creation became so popular and made him so famous that he got his own Chocolate Frog Card....

Harry Potter might not be a series that’s about romance, but romantic relationships are a part of the story especially as the main characters get older. Romantic relationships start to become an issue for Harry and his friends’ lives as they become older teens, and there are also many romantic relationships that are central for the older adults in this series. While the series isn’t a particularly romantic one, there are romantic moments and also characters that are better at love than others....

Harley Quinn was originally created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm as a counterpart for The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series in the seventh episode of the first season, which was originally broadcast in 1992. She has since made an appearance in the comics, including having a couple of her own runs, as well as in animated and live-action films, video games, and currently has her own animated television show available through the streaming service DC Universe....

When adapting books to movies, there are always going to be some things that get left out. This makes sense, as books are full of a lot of scenes and details that don’t always translate to film, and movies only have so much time to tell a story. Since the Harry Potter universe is rather rich and has a lot going on, there are many things in the movies that aren’t explained....

In Harry Potter, Voldemort is the ultimate villain. Along with his Death Eaters and other followers, Voldemort is arguably the worst and most evil character in the series. When Voldemort takes over both Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the state of the wizarding world seems to be worse than ever before. While the Ministry under Voldemort’s reign is arguably the worst, there are some things that the regular Ministry did that are just as bad if not worse....

A contested debate among Harry Potter fans is whether James Potter — and by extension the Marauders — were the villains during their time at school or whether it was Severus Snape. While Snape was the victim in the early days, the Marauders were the ones who went on to join the Order of the Phoenix. There’s a lot of gray area over who was morally in the wrong here, but we’ve figured both sides were equally to blame and to sympathize with....

Snape has always been one of the most controversial characters in the Harry Potter franchise, and certain fans still struggle to forgive him for his actions simply because he had a redeeming arc in The Deathly Hallows. All in all, however, Professor Severus Snape did have his heroic moments, even if his actions were more frequently perceived as villainous. Given that Harry Potter himself named his son Albus Severus Potter – honoring both Dumbledore and Snape – it is safe to say that The Boy Who Lived made up his mind about who Snape was after all....

Harry Potter might be the hero and main character of the Harry Potter series, but that doesn’t mean that he was always a perfect person. Harry was a complex character with a lot of strengths as well as a lot of flaws. While he might have always been trying to do the right thing and tried his best to help other people, there were some situations where he could be rather shameless....

Hasbro officially unveils new Spider-Man: Maximum Venom toys. One of Spider-Man’s most famous antagonists, the Venom character has been making waves of late thanks to the success of his 2018 solo movie. While Venom received mixed reviews, it grossed $856 million worldwide, illustrating audiences highly enjoyed the entertaining dynamic between Eddie Brock and the symbiote. A sequel is currently in production, meaning Venom won’t be leaving the spotlight any time soon....

No matter which incarnation of the big red ape it is, from Mike Mignola’s original to Guillermo del Toro’s adaptations featuring Ron Perlman or the latest. more canonical David Harbour version, Hellboy has always entertained fans with his witty one-liners. Red’s quips range from the dark and sarcastic to the silly and still sarcastic, and even when the overall product isn’t what we’d hoped for, as with Neil Marshall’s unfortunate disjointed work, HB himself still manages to make us laugh at least sometimes, with Perlman probably having issued the most widely-recognized, hilarious lines that make audiences wish for a third film featuring the actor....

Hermione Granger is one of the most important characters in Harry Potter. She’s known for her fierce intelligence and deep-rooted friendship with Harry and Ron. However, making friends didn’t always come easily to Hermione. At the beginning of her Hogwarts career, Hermione is a lone wolf. Nobody makes an effort to be friends with her, but on the flip side, Hermione doesn’t put herself out there either. It’s not until a near-death experience with a troll that unites her with Harry and Ron....

The continued pandemic has forced countless businesses to pivot how they offer their services if they generally required face-to-face meetings. Meet is a new app aimed at helping bridge the gap for providers and giving them a way to book paid meetings with clients over a private video chat. With built-in reservations and billing, Meet is useful for fitness sessions, influencers offering paid meetings with fans, or even an accountant offering tax consulting for freelancers....

TechRadar is reporting that HDMI.org, the group that oversees the HDMI spec has informed them that MiniDisplayPort->HDMI cables are illegal and shouldn’t be sold. All of them. Apparently at issue is that the “HDMI specification defines an HDMI cable as having only HDMI connectors on the ends. Anything else is not a licensed use of the specification and therefore, not allowed.” Insane. So for the record this is not OK (get them while supplies last):...

Apple has been a vocal supporter of rule changes that would make it easier for patients to access their medical information and share it with applications. Epic Systems, one of the largest electronic medical records providers in the United States, is urging its customers to oppose the rule changes. CNBC explains that the rule changes proposed by the Department of Health and Human Services would add new requirements that help “medical information flow more easily between health systems and patients....

A Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report noted a 154% increase in telehealth visits in March 2020, over the previous period in 2019. But digital mechanisms for data access, sharing and storage put these data at risk. The 2021 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index report placed healthcare in seventh place in its “Top 10 industries by attack volume.” A “barrage of ransomware attacks against hospitals” was at least partly responsible for placing healthcare in this most egregious of top 10 lists....

Noise-cancelling headphones are great, but they do have one big drawback: noise-cancellation requires power, giving you yet another device to charge. Harman and Philips have each removed that pain-point, announcing noise-cancelling devices with a Lightning connector instead of a 3.5mm headphone jack, drawing their power from the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. The Harman JBL Reflect Aware are earphones aimed at sports use, allowing you to choose the level of noise-cancellation – handy for times when you are on the street and want to retain some awareness of things like traffic noise....

The Gryffindor House has the richest history in the Harry Potter series, being the House that had almost all the main heroes from the series, which easily makes it the best House to be. Since there were so many fabulous witches from Gryffindor, it would be a disservice to potentially leave out the likes of Lily, Hermione, and Molly if they were considered for this list. So, we’ve only considered males for our evaluation over the 5 best wizards that were sorted into Gryffindor House and the 5 who weren’t good....
