Harry Potter is definitely one of the most popular fandoms out there. The book series, and then the movies, appealed to a wide audience and have firmly been secured in pop culture for now and for decades to come. Since so many fans love Harry Potter, it’s definitely the type of thing where people are quoting iconic moments and lines from the books as well as the movies. But, in some cases, these quotes ended up being repeated incorrectly or words get added or left out of these iconic quotes....

The Deuce season 3 teaser trailer brings the HBO porn series into the 1980s. David Simon and George Pelecanos first achieved critical acclaim for their series The Wire, which probed the troubled city of Baltimore from varying socio-economic perspectives, weaving a complex 5-season multi-character tapestry that revolutionized television storytelling. With season 1 of The Deuce, Simon and Pelecanos turned their probing eye on a very different environment, the city of New York in the early 1970s, and specifically the sex industry that boomed in Times Square during that period....

As mentioned on an earlier Happy Hour podcast, I have a giant collection of iPad styluses, having tested dozens of them since the first iPad debuted in 2010. Earlier this week, my colleague Zac Hall reviewed the best (and most expensive) iPad stylus, Apple’s brand-new $99 Apple Pencil, which is hard to find in stores, and only works with the 12.9″ iPad Pro. Since the Apple Pencil is two to six times as expensive as some other options, I wanted to spotlight its key strengths and weaknesses relative to rivals, all of which are more broadly compatible and readily available to purchase....

Hidden Figures is the true story of the American 1960s Space Race from a perspective that is often overlooked. Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer), Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), and many other black women in NASA’s West Area Computing Unit participated in what is considered one of America’s greatest achievements – the successful completion of our very first orbital space flight. And they did it in the height of the Jim Crow segregated south....

Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood share a touching friendship throughout the Harry Potter series. The two characters first meet in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix while on their way to Hogwarts, with Luna quickly developing a vital role in Dumbledore’s Army and becoming a beloved character in the fandom. The series is currently complete and Harry ultimately found love with Ginny Weasley. Harry and Ginny are a well-matched couple, though he shares a special connection with Luna that would have made for an interesting romantic relationship....

After building out a robust platform for experiencing augmented reality and powerful tools for learning and teaching coding with Swift, Apple is tackling AR creation and exploration in its retail stores with new Today at Apple Labs, Walks, and an interactive art exhibit visible only through the lens of an iPhone. Here’s what you can expect the next time you visit an Apple Store. Nick Cave’s “Amass” The free Apple Store app has transformed from a portal to Apple’s online store into a portal to another dimension....

While Valve seems to have given up hope on bringing Left 4 Dead 3 to life, a series of leaked pictures show what the zombie threequel game could’ve looked like. Although there’s been plenty of talk about Left 4 Dead 3, the title has slipped into development hell over the years. In 2008, Valve South (now Turtle Rock Rock Studios) released Left 4 Dead as a co-operative first-person shooter. Assigning players one of four “Survivors,” Left 4 Dead was a different take on the well-worn formula of zombie video games....

This Halloween got even sweeter for one Hannah Brown fan. Watch as the former star of The Bachelorette Hannah Brown and her Dancing with the Stars dance partner Alan Bersten surprise a young fan at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles. Brown’s season of The Bachelorette was one of the most dramatic and controversial seasons ever for the ABC program. The former pageant queen’s season brought to light controversial subjects such as slut-shaming, religion, and when it’s time to walk away from a relationship....

Warning: SPOILERS for DC’s Harleen When it comes to the origin of Harley Quinn, Mad Love is the madcap’s character bible. Every adaptation of the anti-heroine has elements inspired by the Eisner Award winning one-shot comic book by the creators of Batman: the Animated Series, Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. But one story has all other adaptations of Mad Love beat, and that is DC’s 3-issue Black Label title Harleen by Stjepan Šejić....

In the wide world of books and movies, there are few trios that are more famous and more beloved than the so-called golden trio. For those of you who might be unfamiliar with this moniker, it’s the fandom term for the Harry Potter holy trinity of Harry Potter himself, Hermione Granger, and Ronald Weasley. The story of these three friends is one of the most compelling and heartwarming in the history of all fiction, and the popularity of these characters individually and as a group is totally unparalleled....

Rubeus Hagrid from Harry Potter is a beloved character, and one of the things that makes him so likable is how much he loves magical creatures. He has a unique ability to see the beauty and value in all of these glorious beasts, even the dangerous or unattractive ones. While at times his love of dangerous creatures can go too far and put himself and others at risk, Hagrid definitely has a good heart and he wants to help all magical animals....

Welcome to episode 003 of the Happy Hour podcast! Today we’re discussing all things Apple Watch. Can Apple succeed in the smartwatch game? It’s clear Apple has been developing this product for a while and we’ll get into all of the need-to-know information surrounding it.

The mistress of mayhem will have an unlikely partner in Harley Quinn #72, when the femme fatale teams up with the time-traveling former football star from the future, Booster Gold. While both have a knack for creating unintentional chaos wherever life leads them, the two rarely ever team-up… and it appears as though Harley wants to keep it that way. Though different in almost every conceivable way, the two previously co-starred in a nine-issue crossover event that initially pitted them against each other: Heroes In Crisis....

Ever since the world laid eyes on Draco Malfoy, it seemed obvious that this arrogant, elitist bully was meant to be one of the main villains of the Harry Potter series. And for the most part, he was. Draco was a rude and cruel boy who was unnecessarily mean to plenty of people who didn’t deserve it, and often times he seemed to take pleasure in causing others embarrassment or pain....

When Harry Potter started out in 1997, all of us were either hardly in double-digit ages or weren’t even born, which is why no one thought about what any future couples would be like. By the time the series ended in 2007, we’d all grown up enough to form opinions over the couples that had formed during that time. With the film series really making the franchise popular, the idea we had of these couples was magnified....

Actor Robbie Coltrane portrayed the gentle giant, Rubeus Hagrid, in the Harry Potter film series, but another popular actor lobbied for the role. Coltrane played the character in all eight movie adaptations based on the book series by J.K. Rowling; however, another well-known actor was vying for the role when the franchise was in early development. Hagrid played an integral role in the Harry Potter series, introducing the young boy wizard to the wizarding world in the first installment....

The Harry Potter books are so massive and so dense that it’s honestly a miracle that anyone managed to coherently translate them into individual films. And it’s even more impressive that those films were actually fantastic. However, the transition from page to screen required that a lot of cuts be made, and it also required that some pretty integral characters didn’t get their moment to shine on the silver screen....

Quidditch is the ultimate sport in the wizarding world. It became such a popular component of Harry Potter that it even translated off-screen to real-life fans who play Quidditch matches and even conduct their own Quidditch World Cups all over the world. In the magical world, the game is a favored past-time, in school and out of school at big events such as the fourth book’s World Cup. But we become most familiar with it through the eyes of series protagonist, Harry Potter, who becomes the youngest Seeker....

Going to Hogwarts might seem like a dream come true for Muggle fans of the Harry Potter series, but there are definitely some rather messed up things about the school. One of the biggest issues with Hogwarts is that a lot of the professors don’t seem qualified to teach or tend to treat their students horribly. The professors at Hogwarts can sometimes be rather shameless in how they do their jobs as well as the things they get up to when not teaching....
