Some of the relationships in the Harry Potter universe just don’t make sense. Cho and Harry is definitely one of them. Romance doesn’t seem to be J.K. Rowling’s forte. Though the author manages to create some cute relationships, overall most of them don’t make a lot of sense. This is mostly due to a lack of buildup and romantic tension. Though Cho and Harry have some buildup, they definitely do not have as much as a couple like say Ron and Hermione....

A decade after the release of the final Harry Potter book, the series remains a global phenomenon. Though the movie franchise has been recently surpassed by the MCU in terms of box office, the book series remains the best-selling of all time, and the saga is still breaking records to this day, with Fantastic Beasts recently becoming the first Potter film to take home an Academy Award. JK Rowling’s Wizarding World has opened the minds of kids and adults across the globe, but her characters are a major factor in Harry Potter having stood the test of time, and we’re counting down the very best of them....

It’s officially pumpkin season! And while that means pumpkin spice everything, it also means sweater weather… which means that long evenings spent outside are going to give way to nights curled up in front of the TV, ignoring that first chill in the air. Thankfully, Netflix has packed its usual number of brand new viewing material into the calendar this month, with plenty of originals joining watchable classics, so that everyone should find something to watch....

Death Eaters are one of the most sinister groups of villain in the history of literature. They are vicious and merciless, they serve one of the most powerful villains of all time, and they have equally influential allies (with the likes of werewolves, giants, and Dementors themselves serving their cause). Nevertheless, it’s fun to sometimes reduce them to mere Muggles and image what kind of jobs they would have. After all the Harry Potter series has spawned a lot of fan fiction, but readers aren’t the only ones who like changing the canon....

The Haunting of Hill House star Oliver Jackson-Cohen promises fans that season 2 of the series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, is equally as brilliant.

It presented its story in both the past and present, following the broken Crain family as they confront their demons, both real and imagined....
