The voices of Hey Arnold! were key to the success of Nickelodeon’s much-loved animated series, so let’s take a look back at the talented actors who brought the show’s characters to life. Created by animator Craig Bartlett, Hey Arnold! aired on Nickelodeon for five seasons and 100 episodes between 1996 and 2004.

With the expansion to the Wizarding World franchise via Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, J.K. Rowling began expanding on the universe. After all, not all wizards live in the UK or have a good way to get to Hogwarts. Now, there are eleven other wizarding schools from around the world. We only know the names of eight: Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Castelobruxo, Durmstrang Institute, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Mahoutokoro School of Magic, Koldovstoretz, and Uagadou School of Magic....

Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are as much a part of the Harry Potter series as the Chosen One himself. Introduced from the beginning and standing by Harry’s side for years, Hermione and Ron became richly developed and beloved characters. J.K. Rowling’s beautiful writing for the characters was furthered by the perfect on-screen performances from Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. On the page and on the screen, fans got to watch their friendship grow into romance and see them mature from awkward first-years into young adults risking everything to save the world....

Hermione Granger is one of the most popular literary characters of all time. She is the female protagonist and one of the leading characters of the Harry Potter series. She is also considered the brightest witch of her age and has helped Harry and Ron out of numerous scuffles throughout the franchise’s history. If it weren’t for Hermione, there is every chance that Harry and Ron would have died a long time ago, or at least gotten themselves into way more trouble then they already did....

HBO Max has officially greenlit Adam McKay’s climate terror anthology series titled The Uninhabitable Earth. McKay’s work, both in the realm of comedy and drama, has been a favorite amongst audiences for years. Not only did he write and direct Oscar-nominated films like The Big Short and Vice, but he’s also one of the executive producers for HBO’s award-winning series Succession, which is currently in production on season 3. He was also known for his production partnership with Will Ferrell at Gary Sanchez Productions, which was responsible for a number of films including Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, but the company came to an unfortunate end early last year....

Warning: SPOILERS for Suicide Squad #1 & #2 Harley Quinn has been all about the squad goals recently across many platforms, but in DC Comics’ Suicide Squad #2 she gives fans a peek into her team philosophy. Unfortunately, her audience is pretty unreceptive to her professional experience. Everything is coming up Harley recently, and she is keen to share the love with a plethora of teams - including some rather interesting team-ups....

In the Harry Potter universe, Severus Snape is one of the most despised, beloved and easy to rip on characters. He is literally the most bullied adult in the series, having been the subject of the Marauders’ mean mirth for years, yet he becomes one of the biggest bullies as an adult. His inability to move on after that, not to mention after decades of being obsessed with Lily Potter, makes him easy to ridicule, especially when we consider all of the talents he wasted on years of bitterness....

The Harry Potter Universe is undoubtedly full of interesting characters with fantastic abilities and, more importantly, huge hearts. Out of everyone, Hermione Granger is without a doubt one of the most interesting and complex characters of the entire Harry Potter series. She makes one of the strongest progressions in the series. Readers first meet Hermione as a bossypants, know-it-all, but by the end of the series she is the true heroine we’ve all been waiting for....

The entire saga of the Harry Potter book and film series is at its heart a battle between good and evil. It follows the story of Harry Potter, the boy who lived, and the evil wizard who tried to kill him. And because the story is so clearly about the sides of right and wrong, all of the characters within the series are forced to align themselves with the forces of good or evil (or sometimes remain neutral, if that’s possible)....

After an all-new Tweetbot Twitter client from developer Tapbots arrived last week as version 3, it wasn’t long before the app became the top paid app in many countries around the world.

HEY email popped onto the scene earlier this summer and is today getting a notable update that brings the option for customers to use multiple email accounts in the service’s iOS app. HEY (from the makers of Basecamp) has been releasing regular updates after launching. Back in October the app gained iOS 14 widgets and support for third-party browser links. Today’s update that brings support for using multiple accounts will certainly be a welcome update for those wanting to dive fully into HEY instead of having to use multiple email apps for different accounts (or use the HEY browser version for one)....

Hedwig was without a doubt one of – if not the – most loyal pets in the world of Harry Potter. She consistently went above and beyond, in regards to things Harry Potter asked her to do. And on more than one occasion she was even capable of anticipating his needs. Let us focus on these moments, and how amazing Hedwig was. Perhaps if we do this, the pain of her loss at the end of the series will hurt less....

Hear Names Service HearNames.com is simple. Just type the name into the search box and press Search....

Ultimately, Weasley is our king, but there are definitely instances where he can be a “right foul git”. So without further ado, here are some things about Ron Weasley that have not aged well over time....
