There are a variety of relationships in the Harry Potter series, and some of them are better than others. While many of the relationships from the series are positive and adorable, others aren’t so great. Many of the boyfriends in the series aren’t ones you’d want to date weather because they are still immature or because they are just horrible people overall. While the series isn’t about romance, there are quite a few romantic relationships talked about in the series including between Harry’s peers as well as the adults in the series....

It’s also highlighting an augmented reality app for iPhone called Healium AR that is helping Veterans better deal with anxiety. Apple shared about the app that’s making a difference for veterans in a Newsroom post today. The story details how the app came to be and even though it’s not meant as a replacement for medical therapy or medication is very helpful for veterans dealing with panic attacks and more....

Some, you’re likely Reely familiar with (hint, hint) but others, you may have completely missed amidst all the fanfare. So, without further ado, here are all new Instagram updates that should be on your radar. Instagram launched QR Codes This one is hot off the press!

A few days ago, I argued that iTunes was now so clunky it should be nuked from orbit, and suggested standalone apps as a possible way forward. A little over 70% of you agreed with me, including UX designer Andrew Ambrosino, who created some concept images showing how a standalone OS X Music app might look. I like what I see. Check out the images below, and let us know your thoughts … As Ambrosino says, having the app have only one job immediately allows for a much cleaner look: music tabs at the top, player at the bottom, and content between the two....

Apple’s iOS devices, which collectively sold about 200 million units to date, are affecting consumer electronics at large and not just smartphones and tablets. Add digital still cameras to the list of losers as plugged-in sources warn that camera vendors may ship lower than expected units in the second quarter. The reason? Apple’s iPhone and iPad: Virtually not a day goes by that we don’t learn about high demand for iOS gadgets affecting shipments of a particular rival product....

We still can’t quite believe that the first Harry Potter movie was released 18 years ago. It feels like only yesterday that everybody was flocking to their local cinema to see the Boy Who Lived’s first outing which, as expected, took the box office by storm. But while the movie is perhaps the most faithful to the core material, it still left out many details from the books. Here is Harry Potter: 10 Major Things The Movie Left Out From The Sorcerer’s Stone....

When it comes to the world of Harry Potter, everything seems so magical and superior to muggle life that the fandom would much rather be sorted into a Hogwarts House and play Quidditch than deal with mundane things like traveling via car or airplane. But how many would-be wizards really take the time to consider the wizarding economy, especially the many things about wizarding money that make zero sense? It’s cute to consider paying for a wand with gold coins or riding a roller coaster to access your underground vault beside a grumpy goblin, but in real life, many of the adorable aspects of wizarding money really aren’t practical....

Kirsty Cotton (played by Ashley Laurence) battled Pinhead in the first two Hellraiser movies, but in the comics, she later became a Cenobite herself. Most recurring horror villains have that one true nemesis that gives them their greatest, most memorable cinematic challenges. A Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger has Nancy Thompson, Halloween’s Michael Myers has Laurie Strode, Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees has Tommy Jarvis, and Hellraiser’s Pinhead has Kirsty Cotton....

Harry Potter introduced a number of characters, creatures, spells, and objects from the Wizarding World, and the most dangerous practice was the creation of Horcruxes, of which Lord Voldemort made a total of six – but who did he have to kill to make them? J.K. Rowling’s world of magic began in 1997 with Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone, which introduced the title character, his best friends, and the biggest threat these young wizards were going to encounter: Lord Voldemort, who was only mentioned in the first book, not showing his face until the second....

HBO Max orders the pilot for a Practical Magic prequel TV show titled Rules of Magic from showrunner Melissa Rosenberg (Jessica Jones). While the streamer has made headlines for the fact that it will soon be the new streaming service home to Friends, as well as reportedly considering a huge deal for the rights to long-running hits like The Big Bang Theory, it is making sure to carve out some space for original programming....

Office 2013 Repair or Uninstall Problems Office 2013 and previous versions of Office really dig themselves deep into the Windows OS – as well as your browsers, apps, and other programs installed. Uninstalling Office 2013 through the Control Panel > Programs and Features have had varying results in my experience, mostly not good. A lot of times, it’s hobbled with errors or doesn’t work at all. I usually uninstall programs using Revo Uninstaller – but it ends up finding an unbelievable amount of leftovers…well, let’s just say I will never try that again....

We have posted before about Apple’s new pride face for the Apple Watch, with strings found on a beta version of iOS 11.3. After that release, Apple removed all assets related to the new face from iOS and watchOS. That, however, has changed today with the release of iOS 11.4 and watchOS 4.3.1. New strings found on iOS explain that the new face is “inspired by the rainbow flag” and that “the threads of color move if you tap the display....

The wizarding world of Harry Potter has been a worldwide phenomenon since J. K. Rowling put pen to paper in 1997. Since then it has spawned a loving fandom, eight good to fantastic films and a follow-up series of films in Fantastic Beasts which has been hit and miss. On Rotten Tomatoes critics are given the ‘Tomatometer’ rating which is a more prominent and used percentage in which critics either recommend or dissuade readers to watch a film....

Hannibal season 1 episode 4 saw the titular killer become something of a father figure to Abigail. Hannibal Lector became an iconic horror character thanks to Anthony Hopkins’ performance in The Silence Of The Lambs. After Hopkins departed the role following prequel Red Dragon, producers attempted to kickstart a young Hannibal series with Hannibal Rising, but that film’s lukewarm performance and terrible reviews made it appear both the franchise and character had run their course....

The Harry Potter books and films are guilty of having stolen the childhood, adulthood, and the fast-approaching senescence of most of the population. Its storyline and characters have captured people’s hearts and its life lessons and quotes hit home each and every time. But no one is perfect or worthy of idolization, not even the powerful and loved Professor Albus Dumbledore. For most of Dumbledore’s absurd plans and mistakes, there is a wisdom behind them....

If you’re a retailer, you have two options when it comes to deploying Bluetooth beacons. You can deploy the hardware yourself and build an accompanying mobile app for the experience, or you can open the experience to existing apps that users already have on their device using a beacon network. Some retailers have decided they want to own the experience and have everything go through their own mobile app, but new data suggests that might not be the way to go....

Sonny Dickson has posted decent-sized photos of what is claimed to be the front panel of the iPad 5. The photos are consistent with what we’re all expecting: essentially a scaled-up iPad Mini, with thinner bezels on the sides. The refresh is also expected to use the same film-based touch panel as the Mini, replacing the glass layer in previous full-size iPads, reducing both thickness and weight. We posted photos of what is believed to be the rear casing back in January and the display panel earlier this month....

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is the latest augmented reality from Pokémon GO creator Niantic. It launched earlier this week in a handful of countries, and now it has expanded to 25 additional countries. The new countries include Canada, India, Mexico, and many more. The staged rollout is likely an attempt on Niantic’s part to ensure stability for users and prevent overloaded servers. Here is the full list of new countries:...

Devotion, the outstanding Taiwanese horror game which was removed from Steam after being attacked by Chinese censors, has now been preserved at Harvard University. The game launched on the platform just one year ago, but was only available for a single week before a firestorm of controversy brought it down. Devotion was developed by Red Candle Games, the fan-favorite Taiwanese independent game development studio that was also responsible for the excellent Detention....
