While Victoria Fuller has irritated many a fan with her behavior on this season of The Bachelor, she’s also managed to annoy Bachelor Nation sweetheart and former star of The Bachelorette, Hannah Brown. In a recent Instagram Story post, Brown threw a little shade at the emotional contestant. It’s safe to say Brown isn’t rooting for Victoria to end up with Peter Weber. Since the very start of the season, Peter’s relationship with Victoria has been an emotional roller coaster....

Spoilers for Suicide Squad #1 below Harley Quinn is one of the more curious characters in the DC Comics universe. She’s never been one that’s afraid to ask inappropriate questions at the worst times. In her latest Suicide Squad mission, Harley doesn’t understand her teammate Zebra-Man and peppers him with inquiries. Zebra-Man is a deep-cut DC character who’s never really held much spotlight. Originally debuting back in Detective Comics #275 where he helped Batman dawn his infamous Zebra suit, Zebra-Man has had many iterations as the striped villain....

The Wizarding World keeps expanding and changing, so you never know what kinds of additions J.K. Rowling will create to make this magical universe even more complete. We already have the Fantastic Beasts franchise which already made some changes to canon, but new details appear on Pottermore all the time. Nevertheless, the world of Harry Potter is crazy enough already to have the most surprising relatives you could possibly think of, so here are ten characters you didn’t realize Harry was related to....

Avenue 5 is HBO’s sci-fi comedy TV series, which marries the hyper-speed wit of Veep with the future-dystopian notes of PIXAR’s Wall-E. The show boasts a strong cast of comedic talent, with Hugh Laurie in the lead as the captain at the helm of Avenue 5, an interplanetary cruise ship owned by the Judd Corporation. When an unexpected technical error knocks the ship off course, the ship’s 5000 passengers find themselves trapped on a journey much longer than anyone had anticipated....

The creators of Basecamp introduced a new email service this week, simply dubbed Hey. The subscription-based email service costs $99 per year, and that subscription is what’s now causing a battle between Basecamp and Apple’s App Store review team. Basecamp co-founder and CTO David Heinemeier Hansson took to Twitter this afternoon to detail the situation and offered up more information in an interview with Protocol. The initial 1.0 version of Hey was approved for the App Store, but when Zach Waugh, Basecamp’s lead iOS developer, submitted version 1....

We still can’t believe it’s been 17 years since we got our first glimpse of Diagon Alley, the magical high street where even the most bored of shoppers would find things to excite and thrill them. It is a now iconic location, one synonymous with the Harry Potter franchise, and it appears in the majority of the movies throughout the series. But what are the best things you can buy? From wands to ice cream, we’ve got you covered....

You don’t need to look further than the Harry Potter series to find well-rounded characters who display all the qualities of what makes one human, and the protagonists were injected with the best features you can think of. Among these characters was Hermione Granger, a witch who far exceeded anyone’s expectations. Hermione’s characterization didn’t end with how smart she was, as her character development saw her grow fully into her bravery and selfless spirit....

Considering the fact that Dudley Dursley only appears in five out of the eight Harry Potter films, there is a lot that audiences don’t know about this demented cousin. At least, those who haven’t read the books. Despite this, Dudley has always kind of acted as a background character that is never fully fleshed out or seen from his point of view. We only get minor glimpses into Dudley’s psyche, making much of his persona up for debate....

When it comes to adapting any book into a film, the filmmakers who are creating the adaptation typically have their work cut out for them. It can be insanely difficult to translate an entire book into a completely different medium. And when film adaptations are trying to tackle material as dense, long, and complex as the entire Harry Potter series, the situation is infinitely more difficult. As far as film adaptations go, the Harry Potter series is arguably one of the best....

Hereditary director Ari Aster’s Midsommar has moved up a month. While it didn’t earn much (or any, really) love this past awards season, Aster’s feature debut was generally considered to be one of the best horror movies of 2018. Fans of the genre didn’t have to wait long to find out when Aster’s sophomore film would be arriving either, as Midsommar was announced before Hereditary begin its theatrical release last May....

Neville Longbottom might have the most inspiring, dramatic and interesting personality change of any character in the Harry Potter franchise, and that includes Katie Bell, who literally got a new face. In the 2001 film, The Philosopher’s Stone, Neville was a short, confused and unintelligent boy who had been raised by his grandmother after a scarring experience as a child in which he had lost his parents. Take a look at what he ended up turning into....

When it comes to sorting students into the different houses in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it’s kind of two sides of the same coin in a strange way. Each house has particular characteristics that they value over everything else, but a student can be chosen for that house because they already fulfill those characteristics or they can be chosen because their personality is in direct opposition to those traits and they need an education in that particular house to bring those traits out in them....

Within the wizarding world of Harry Potter, there seem to be some near-universal truths. Voldemort is one of the most powerful but one of the worst wizard who ever lived. Albus Dumbledore is the greatest of all time. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the best magical education in the world. And no one wants to be in house Slytherin unless they’re the bad guys or proud, arrogant purebloods....

For Harry Potter fans, choosing a favorite Weasley could be as difficult as choosing a favorite child… especially if you throw in Weasleys from prequels or sequels, like Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, or those who’ve married into the clan, like Fleur Delacour or Hermione Granger. Even sticking to the Weasleys we’ve met in the original Harry Potter works presents a difficult challenge. It’s much easier to rank them in terms of who they are as people, including contributions they’ve made to the wizarding world, their general importance and how they’ve treated everyone from family to friends....

In a revelation that should shock absolutely no one considering what we now know about Jed Wyatt, Hannah Brown’s engagement on The Bachelorette was messy even before she learned about Wyatt’s girlfriend. Once the cameras stopped rolling, the couple was forced to confront reality after reality television, and - not surprisingly - it wasn’t the same. It’s often the case for the lead on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette to have a pretty good sense of who they want to see themselves engaged to at the end of the show before the cast is whittled down to the final two....

Imagine yourself in the Hufflepuff common room. The Hufflepuff common room is the only Hogwarts common room not to make an appearance in the Harry Potter books or movies, so imagining is key. Everything is a sunny shade of yellow. Think about being in the basement, near the kitchens, on the poofiest couches and some yellow beanbag chairs. There are definitely plants scattered around, and a rung, and a lot of snacks....

The world of Harry Potter is full of complex characters. So complex and divisive are some of these characters, that many fans still have yet to come to a complete agreement on their attributes or status in the fandom. Snape is without a doubt one of those characters. Love him or hate him, you’ve got to admit that Snape did some pretty horrible things in his time at Hogwarts. Perhaps some of his worst behavior was directed at the students....
