There’s another virtual assistant you can call using your iPhone. Starting today, you can say “Hey Spotify,” with the Spotify app opened, to start playing a song, an album, or even a playlist. As you can see, there’s nothing much to do with the “Hey Spotify” feature apart from asking for things inside the app. Because the feature is only starting to roll out, not every user will be able to find it, but here’s where it should be:...

One of the most popular Harry Potter fan tattoos you can get is one of the four Houses. It is especially popular since you can take a quiz on Pottermore to find out which House you belong to. Since the website was made by J.K. Rowling herself, it’ll be as canon of an answer as you will ever find on the vast internet. Gryffindor is the house of courage and loyalty....

Apple has made a small, but helpful, change in the way that iOS 8.3 can make phone calls via Siri. With the launch of iOS 8.0 last fall, Apple added a feature to Siri that allows users to activate the service hands-free by saying the phrase “Hey Siri” if the phone is plugged into power. However, if a user asked Siri to make a phone call via the “Hey Siri” hands-free command, the call would strangely not automatically transfer to speakerphone....

And she has been the subject of many pieces of fan art!...
The Harry Potter series features a variety of locations including some that are rather dreary and scary and others that are bright and warm.

In the series, there is a range of different homes and living spaces that are featured, and some of these are more inviting than others....
With the holiday season upon us, the holiday movie season is also here. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will land on December 20, but it’s not the only film appearing to entice the movie-going public. On Christmas day the new Greta Gerwig interpretation of the literary classic, Little Women, will hit theaters. As a quick review (or as a simple reference for newbies) the main characters have been sorted below into their respective Hogwarts houses....
One of the most terrifying aspects of Harry Potter’s archenemy Lord Voldemort is his unearthly appearance, but how did the Dark Lord lose his nose? When Harry Potter fans think of Lord Voldemort it’s most likely the fearsome serpentine fellow with the deathly pale skin, gnarly gnashers, cat-like eyes and barely-there nose with only slits for nostrils. In other words, the guy who drank unicorn blood while possessing Professor Quirinus Quirrell’s body and has been trying to murder poor Harry Potter since he was a baby – that Lord Voldemort....

Although it’s weighed down by its hackneyed biopic framework, Harriet has a spirit and heart befitting of its daring namesake and her legacy. Harriet Tubman’s long overdue Hollywood biography has arrived, and it both is and isn’t the film you’re expecting. On one level, Harriet is exactly the type of respectful, yet formulaic testament to the incredible life of a historical figure that comes out every awards season and earns polite applause, but is mostly forgotten thereafter....
HBO launched its new streaming service HBO Max last month, which offers content not only from the HBO channel but also from the entire WarnerMedia group. However, the company is now making some changes to its current product line-up to avoid confusion with new HBO Max. Previously HBO offered two apps: HBO Go and HBO Now. While HBO Go was focused on users who had HBO included as part of a streaming or cable TV package, HBO Now allowed anyone to subscribe to HBO as a standalone service....
It’s definitely beginning to look as if a Season 2 of Watchmen on HBO won’t be happening. The show, which was created by Damon Lindelof, completed its nine-episode first season back in December of 2019 and was met with widespread critical and audience acclaim. Although the Watchmen TV show offered a number of changes from the original Watchmen comic, both new and old fans seemed to appreciate the version Lindelof was trying to create....
