Take into consideration the box office performance of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and the various efforts to build buzz around the upcoming Birds of Prey movie — not to mention James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad — now is probably the perfect time for DC Universe to premiere its Harley Quinn animated series.

In the world of Harry Potter, there are plenty of jobs for a witch or wizard to choose from. But many of them involve you working for the Ministry of Magic. At least, if you want to continue living in or around London. Thankfully, there are plenty of unexpected jobs to be found within the Ministry.

The company also makes batteries for HP. It currently produces 500,000 notebook batteries and 2.5 million for handsets and other portable devices every month at its two Chinese plants. With a view to the rumoured Apple tablet, interesting to reflect: C-Tech hopes to step into the battery pack market for products such as eBook readers and electric vehicles, DigiTimes reports. Involvement in the Apple ecosystem is powerful good magic for suppliers in the present economic climate, as PC manufacturers hope the WIndows 7 release will generate some interest in their machines, and mobile firms face increasing competition from Cupertino, inclusion in an Apple product can save the day for component suppliers....

When Kingdom Hearts 3 was first announced, fans had hoped that the game would include content from both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Star Wars movies, but no characters from either franchise made an appearance. It turns out that there was a good reason for the lack of Marvel/Star Wars content in Kingdom Hearts 3 and it was due to legal issues. Kingdom Hearts 2 was released in 2005, while Kingdom Hearts 3 was released in 2019....

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire is one of the most action-packed movies in the franchise, with the Triwizard Tournament bringing some amazing moments onto the big screen. The film sees the franchise really kick up a gear from family-friendly magic fun to the dark side as Lord Voldemort officially returns.

While Draco undoubtedly did some awful things and made many mistakes, he was also redeemable in many ways....

In the world of Harry Potter, that are many pieces of complicated magic, sometimes made even further convoluted by Rowling’s constant tinkering with the canon. Some of these spells seem to only appear once or twice, in service to the story, but are never fully fleshed out, leaving avid fans with many questions about the intricacies of the spellwork.

Do you remember when AT&T tried to buy T-Mobile in 2011? Well, T-Mobile certainly didn’t forget. AT&T ran a full-page attack ad (below) against T-Mobile last week in some of the nation’s largest newspapers, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today, where it warned consumers of T-Mobile’s “misleading claims.” T-Mobile clearly wasn’t too happy with AT&T over the ads and has now responded with its own campaign on Wednesday, according to TMO News....

One of the first things that new Harry Potter fans learn about the series (maybe the very first, in fact) is that those dastardly Dursleys are some of the most unpleasant, judgemental, and snobbish people you could ever meet in a British suburb. Vernon and Petunia Dursley have a great fear and loathing of magic, which extends to Petunia’s own sister and brother-in-law, Lily and James Potter. On losing his parents, Harry Potter is brought to live with Vernon and Petunia, who extend that fear and hatred to the boy and instill it in their own son, Dudley....
