Lord Voldemort is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and dangerous dark wizards in the history of magic, but he is still only one man, and one man can only achieve so much alone. And Voldemort must have realized this, because he recruited plenty of dark wizards and witches to fight wizarding wars on his behalf. This horror squad was more commonly known as the Death Eaters. Although Lord Voldemort was ultimately defeated, he almost conquered the wizarding world, and the Death Eaters were clearly a key part of his success....

While there are many canon couples in the Harry Potter series, there are also many fan fiction relationships that many fans wish had been in the canon instead. People always have different ideas about which characters would be great together, but there are some couples that are more popular than others. One of the most popular ships in the Potter fandom is Draco and Harry, known sometimes as Drarry. While many fans have pointed out that these two would have made for an exciting romance, others have pointed out that their relationship would be really problematic....

Apple is gearing up to launch two larger iPhone sizes this fall: a 4.7-inch version and a 5.5-inch model. While the 4.7-inch version has been leaked extensively with a thinner body design, the 5.5-inch model only saw its first significant leak in the form of a dummy model last week. Today, Sonny Dickson has exclusively shared with us a pair of photos claimed to be showing the LCD display component for that larger iPhone with 5....

The Harry Potter series spent years building up to one huge fight. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, we finally got to see it as the good guys took on the Death Eaters and the rest of Voldemort’s followers. This war was dubbed the Battle of Hogwarts. Everyone recalls the huge moments and the fact that Harry Potter and his friends came out on top. As with any battle like this, there were plenty of casualties on both sides....

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the series. Because of this, it’s no wonder that there are many details from the book that weren’t able to make it into the movie. This is one of the Harry Potter movies where there are a lot of obvious differences between the book and the film. While the movie does a good job at focusing on the most important plot points and characters, there are still some things that won’t make a lot of sense for people who have only seen the movies....

Long before the Fantastic Beasts, there was Harry Potter, the franchise where young children enchanted and dreaming of the prospect of becoming witches or wizards attended a castle of a school. The final installment of the series entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, was released a staggering nine years ago and brought JK Rowling’s epic story to a satisfying and action-packed conclusion. The movie does a brilliant job of bringing the book to life but, despite that, Warner Bros were unable to cram in every little detail and individual....

Whether you’re looking to pick up a new Mac for school, work, or general use, read on for a detailed look at how the new MacBook lineup compares.

In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the Dark Mark is the dreadful tattoo bestowed upon Voldemort’s closest soldiers, as well as the mark that appears in the sky as a summons. The serpent entering the mouth of a skull is considered one of the most terrifying sights a witch or wizard could ever see… but is it really? The Dark Mark doesn’t make sense in a lot of ways, from who is allowed to wear it to who isn’t, what it’s used for and what it even looks like....

Many Harry Potter fans will likely confess to you that they have, at least once or twice, made an imaginary school schedule as if they were going to Hogwarts. They go through the process of selecting professors mentioned in the book and sort out which of these Hogwarts professors are worth listening to. In fact, many of these fans likely judge their excitement for a “class” based on the professor’s strength....

There are a great many villains in the Harry Potter series. When you think of antagonists Harry must face, your mind most likely drifts to Dolores Umbridge, Bellatrix Lestrange, or Lord Voldemort. But we can’t forget about the Dursleys. Despite being Muggles, they were responsible for a great deal of pain and misfortune in Harry’s life before he was eventually allowed to go to Hogwarts. All three Dudleys, Petunia, Vernon, and Dudley executed their unique brand of misery on Harry but perhaps the worst of all was Vernon....

The Harry Potter movie actors Matthew Lewis and Tom Felton continue to joke in-character on social media, even after all these years. The pair co-starred in the Boy Wizard’s adventures as his fellow Griffyndor Neville Longbottom - who loves plants, but is timid and often bullied by others - and Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin student and Harry’s nemesis. Of course, it’s been almost a decade since the last time Lewis and Felton brought their Wizarding World characters to life in 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2....

A detailed performance test of a prototype Core i7 Haswell chip by tom’s Hardware suggests that it will offer a 7 percent to 13 percent performance gain over equivalent Ivy Bridge CPUs—a similar gain to that experienced with the move from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge. The integrated HD 4600 GPU experiences an impressive speed boost of almost 30 percent, but the website noted that this still won’t allow for comfortable gaming on HD monitors, so gamers will need discrete graphics chips....

There was apparent good news for iPhone owners last week when it turned out that you could get unlimited free storage of full-res HEIC photo backups in Google Photos. This was causing some consternation because the same wasn’t true of Google’s own Pixel 4 smartphones. However, Google now says this is a bug, so don’t expect it to last for long… The unexpected bonus for iPhone owners arose because the HEIC format is a lot more efficient than JPEG, so if Google attempted to compress the photos, they would actually end up larger than the originals....
