The wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter is a fictional universe that it seems like everyone in the world loves to inhabit and explore. These characters, places, and ideas inspired the imaginations of children and adults all over the globe, and even though the original Harry Potter series has been over for years now the popularity of the film and book franchise has barely waned at all. And like any super popular film and book franchise, the Harry Potter series has become the subject of many an internet meme....

Henry Cavill candidly reveals that he thinks Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice is a Batman film. The DCEU’s inaugural hero, the actor kicked off Warner Bros.’ superhero franchise in 2013 via Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Three years later, he worked with the filmmaker once again for the team-up movie that also marked the debut of Ben Affleck as the universe’s Caped Crusader. All three of them reunited in Justice League and considering the events that followed that film, chances are that it’s the last time fans will see them all together - at least for a DC project....

Lossless streaming music service Tidal is reported to be running out of cash, having run up losses of around $44M last year. Jay-Z and other owners are said to have lost more than half a billion dollars in all. Norway’s Dagens Næringsliv says that the company now has only enough cash to last it six months, raising the prospect of the service closing down by the summer – despite a $200M investment by Sprint …...

In normal circumstances falling in love is a beautifully uncomplicated matter, but for Harry Potter, love was as tricky as learning how to use his Patronus. When everything that goes bump in the night in the Wizarding world wants to either eat or kill you, it is understandable why Harry would guard his heart, but that was all before he found his soulmate Ginny, or according to some fans, drank a love potion....

App Clips is one of the main features of iOS 14, as it allows users to download a smaller version of an app to do a specific task. Although it was presented at WWDC 2020, some users and developers may have wondered how it will work since App Clips were not available until iOS 14 beta 5. Read on as we explain how the feature will work on iOS 14 when it is officially available to the public....

The fictional wizarding world of the Harry Potter book and film franchise is incredibly detailed and seemingly endless. There are interesting bits of trivia behind even the most mundane characters, places, or events in the series, and understandably the massive Harry Potter fans of the world love to devour every bit of it. But of course, the biggest deal in the whole of the wizarding world for most fans is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry....

Earlier this month, rumors were aflame that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child might become a big screen feature somewhere down the line. As the only canonical Harry Potter media not to be a film, it would not be a surprise if it does end up becoming a full scale production. However, this installment has been far from unanimously well-received, and there’s definite trepidation from fans over its quality. Some people simply don’t mind whether a new film comes out or not, but it’s important to consider why the other majority aren’t so welcoming to this prospect....

Hermione Granger is generally seen as one of the most heroic and good characters from the Harry Potter series. While she’s a good person in many ways, she also has some character flaws. These things make her an interesting, complex character. Just like many of the other characters from the series, there are times when Hermione can be a bit shameless about her actions and what she does. Here are the ten most shameless things that Hermione has ever done....

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is one of the darkest movies in the entire franchise - certainly when compared to its predecessors. It’s the blockbuster that saw Hogwarts host the Triwizard tournament, Harry and Ron take their first steps towards finding love and Lord Voldemort return after years of lying low. That’s not to mention the Quidditch World Cup and a huge twist involving auror Alastor Moody. The book is rather big - so cramming everything into a single movie was always going to be difficult....

Hart Of Dixie season 3 was the show’s penultimate chapter, but what happened in the season finale? Premiering its first season in 2011, The CW comedy-drama stars Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart – an aspiring heart surgeon who moves from New York City to the small Alabama town of Bluebell after she inherits half a medical practice. Although the city girl is an outsider at first, Zoe soon settles into the quirky little town and gets to know its equally quirky residents....

Publisher Hearst has agreed to selling subscriptions to their iPad magazines through iTunes, after months of negotiations with Apple, reports The Wall Street Journal. Hearst has also confirmed plans to eventually begin selling newspaper apps (perhaps The San Francisco Chronicle and Houston Chronicle?) and other content through in-app subscriptions. The news leaves Condé Nast as the only major magazine publisher out there not participating in Apple’s new iOS subscription service. However, it’s only a matter of time before Condé Nast joins other big publishers....

If a sequel to this year’s Hellboy would have happened, the character Abe Sapien would have been very different. Abraham Sapien is an ally of Hellboy as well as a fellow member of The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. The character was played by Doug Jones in Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy movies but was absent from the recent reboot. Fans were hoping to see Jones return to his character in Hellboy III, but unfortunately, del Toro never got the opportunity to finish his trilogy....

Feel like you’ve missed some secret trick and overwhelmed? We’ve got the lowdown on why some people put hashtags in the first comment on Instagram. Read on to discover if you should too. What do we mean when we say ‘hashtags in the first comment?’ Here’s a great example we spotted from @empiredsgnevent in a recent post.

WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Watchmen’s season 1 finale. The season 1 finale of HBO’s Watchmen floated the idea that Angela Abar (Regina King) is also able to walk on water like Dr. Manhattan, but does she? Sadly, before the question was answered, the show rolled the credits, leaving fans with a massive mystery to ponder on. Created by Damon Lindelof, the new Watchmen adaptation takes place 34 years after the events of the groundbreaking graphic novel created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons....

The 2019 Hellboy reboot failed because it was too obsessed in bringing the world of Mike Mignola’s comics to life on the big screen. While the film suffered from various production problems behind the scenes, the movie’s lack of success ultimately stems from it doing too much, too quickly, to try and establish its universe before addressing the film’s central plotline. After one weekend, it is clear that Hellboy is both a commercial and critical flop....

Henry Cavill says he’s still the DCEU’s Superman. Together with director Zack Snyder, the actor kicked off Warner Bros’ own superhero interconnected universe via 2013’s Man of Steel. The actor reprised the iconic DC role two more times in 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice where he starred opposite Ben Affleck’s Caped Crusader, and 2017’s Justice League. Now, both Snyder and Affleck are officially out of the expanding franchise, but Cavill maintains that he remains its Kal-El/Clark Kent....
