Harry James Potter is easily among the top 100 greatest heroes in history - probably even among the top 10! The guy’s kind, intelligent, and strong-willed enough to beat evil wizards without turning to the Dark Side himself. However, that doesn’t mean that Harry’s flawless - or that he doesn’t know a few hexes and spells he’d rather keep secret. Today, we’re going to unveil ten of Harry Potter’s craziest secret techniques - ranging from the ability to speak with snakes, to spells that can kill enemies in an instant!...

Should Hermione have ended up with Harry instead of Ron? This popular question has been polarizing opinions among Harry Potter fans for years. And whether you agree with the notion or not, you can’t blatantly deny that there are some indications that Harry and Hermione’s relationship would actually make a lot of sense. So today, we prepared a list of the top 10 reasons why we think Harry Potter and Hermione Granger should have been endgame....

As expected, Apple today held a special event in New York City focused on highlighting the best apps and games of 2019. While the event was billed as a “special event,” it was rather subdued in nature and didn’t include any product or operating system announcements. Here’s what actually happened. As we’ve detailed in the past, Apple has a dedicated location in New York City where it holds private briefings with members of the press to give presentations and offer hands-on time with new hardware and software....

The love story between Harley Quinn and The Joker will never be the same again, now that Batman has learned the truth about their renewed love affair: Harley Quinn is pregnant with her and Joker’s baby. But now that it’s finally happening, it might actually be more beautiful than horrifying. The comic book fans who missed out on Batman: White Knight will want to catch up immediately, now that its follow-up series, Batman: Curse of the White Knight has taken the strengths of writer/artist Sean Murphy’s original series to a whole new level....

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Harley Quinn, season 1, episode 6, “You’re a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon.” The latest episode of DC Universe’s Harley Quinn confirms that its take on Commissioner Gordon is simultaneously the best and worst version of the character in any medium. The irony lies in how this interpretation of Gotham City’s top lawman is wholly accurate to the comics yet the portrayal of his character is almost entirely played for laughs....

Will Netflix move forward with The Healing Powers of Dude season 2? And if so, what will it be about, and when will it release? Created by Erica Spates and Sam Littenberg-Weisberg, the family-friendly series follows a teenage boy struggling with social anxiety disorder. The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 premiered in January 2020. In The Healing Powers of Dude season 1 on Netflix, Noah Ferris (Jace Chapman) faces a big challenge when home school ends and he’s forced to be social in a new environment, Roosevelt Middle School....

Mobile health apps are popular these days. Look at those people who have been using apps to check on their blood pressure, or those people who are wearing a smartwatch. This is part of the revolution which has triggered our appreciation of the so-called health innovations. Due to the revolutionized changes evident in the Internet age, the presence of health tech startup businesses is also becoming popular. Managing health conditions is a tricky matter....

Apple is holding a string of heart health-related events at its retail stores this month in honor of Heart Month.

Desai talked about the Apple Heart Study and more. As outlined by CNBC, the event started with a panel focused on heart health and Apple’s growing health ambitions....

This week we’ve seen some serious tension build in the developer community with Apple as the makers of Basecamp tried to release its Hey email service iOS app, but was rejected in the App Store Review process as well as by the App Review Board and VP Phil Schiller. Now Basecamp/Hey’s CEO has written an open letter to Apple sharing the belief that this is more than just about the 30% cut that Apple takes from App Store purchases and the core issue comes down to a “lack of choice” that Apple “forcibly inserts themselves” between app developers and their customers....

Update: The AirPower image has been removed from Apple’s servers, but the HTML and CSS references remain for now. Who knows when AirPower will show up for real? The AirPods page was updated yesterday to highlight the new features in the updated model and mentions the wireless charging case. However, the previously featured picture of AirPods and an iPhone X laying on the AirPower mat was removed in the redesign....

After the magical world of Harry Potter was brought to us in ways of 7 really long books and 8 movies, it seems every Muggle wants their very own wand to make their lives a little easier. From enchanting your home to doing all those tedious household chores to teleporting to any destination with a fireplace by way of floo powder, it seems like magic can do just about anything for those lucky enough to be called witches and wizards....

If you’ve ever been on Twitter or Instagram, you’ve more than likely seen hashtags in use before. You’ve likely used hashtags on these platforms (and maybe more!) yourself. Whether you’re a seasoned expert when it comes to hashtags or brand new to social marketing, there’s one thing that’s certain: you must be able to track your hashtags. Knowing which hashtags are popular, drive people to find your content and get them talking is essential to your social strategy....

Its story is heartfelt and relatable, but meaningless progression and a devaluation of players’ time cause Headspun to fall flat on its face. It’s always frustrating when an indie that’s novel and unique on paper fails to execute its ambitions effectively in practice, and Headspun falls headfirst into that unfortunate category. The game has all the signs that it was a labor of love by newcomer developer Superstring, using a hybrid of full motion video (FMV) and 2D adventure game mechanics to explore a relatable story of self-identity and recovery in an inventive way, but everything it tries to do is drowned out by a laundry list of annoyances and bugs....

Whether she viewed her as a misunderstood villain or an evil one, Harley Quinn is one of the most beloved characters of the DCEU. She was by far the star of Suicide Squad, stealing the show and waltzing her way into the audience’s heart despite the movie’s low ratings and poor criticisms. It has now been four years since the movie’s release, Harley Quinn has been gone for a while but she is finally back to the big screen with Birds Of Prey....

The Harry Potter universe is home to a vast array of iconic characters. Fans first meet Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger in the first book of the series, along with other characters such as Albus Dumbledore, Rubeus Hagrid, and the sinister Lord Voldemort. Many fan-favorite characters have been with us from the beginning, but several were not introduced until later in the series. Some were mentioned briefly before establishing a larger role in the narrative, though have impacted the storyline and stolen the hearts of fans....

During our time with the Harry Potter series, we got to know several different students who played Quidditch. Though arguably we got to know the Gryffindor team the best, there were plenty of named students who were also players for their team. Surprisingly, most of the students we met did not move on to professional teams. Given the focus some of these students put on their teams, you’d think that most of them would be planning on moving forward with their passion....

An Auror is a dark wizard catcher who works within the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. As employees of the Ministry of Magic, it is their duty to find and capture any witch or wizard practicing the Dark Arts. Aurors are only briefly mentioned in the films. Mad-Eye Moody is introduced as the “dark wizard catcher” as well as Kingsley Shacklebolt and other members of the Order of the Phoenix....
