Of all the time periods in Harry Potter, the Marauder era has long been one that has captured the imagination of fans. Though there are only a few actual canon scenes during the time itself, many of the characters alive from the era are met later in the series as adults, inspiring great speculation about what their lives (and loves) were like and a whole slew of fan writing.

Ron Weasley ended up with Hermione Granger at the end of the Harry Potter series. This didn’t seem like it was going to be the case for a while, because Ron spent the early days of the series relentlessly mocking his good-natured friend. However, by the end of the franchise, he had very clearly fallen in love with her, and it all worked out in the end. However, Ron met a fair few potential love interests along the way....

While the Wizarding World is different from our own in many ways, the emphasis on education remains a constant. For seven years, students at Hogwarts are taught the basis of magic, transitioning straight into a field of industry they’re passionate about. This training comes from their Professors, who guide them through their magical education. While many of the professors at Hogwarts are skilled magic users and educators, there is often a severe lapse in judgment when it comes to the care of their students....

From the moment that Harry Potter faced Voldemort in The Goblet of Fire, the wizarding world was struck by an unprecedented degree of fear. While Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, along with the Ministry itself, denied Harry’s claim of the dark lord’s return throughout the Order of the Phoenix, this disbelief was anxiety-induced rather than a genuine disbelief of Harry’s reports. Part of the reason why so many witches and wizards became disillusioned with fear is because of the horrors that occurred during the First Wizarding War....

Official Kate Bishop concept art from the Hawkeye TV show has been revealed. Fans had been wondering for years if Clint Barton would ever get his own solo movie. While the character doesn’t seem to be coming to the big screen for a solo outing, Hawkeye will get his own TV show on Disney+. Throughout this year, fans have gotten nuggets of information on Hawkeye. The series will deal with Clint Barton’s backstory, but fans are more excited that Kate Bishop will be joining the MCU by making her debut in Hawkeye....

You’ve seen the pop-ups when installing apps asking for permission to access your phone’s camera, mic and location. You can go into your phone’s settings to grant or restrict these permissions. Did you know you can do the same for your PC or Mac? That’s right — the apps on your computer don’t differ much from the ones on your phone. Here’s how to get a handle on your privacy and show your apps who’s boss!...

In the world of Harry Potter, the magical world is typically referred to as the wizarding world. However, the true magical world that exists alongside our real one is much richer and more complex than just wizards and witches. The wizarding world is actually home to all manners of magical creatures. Some of these creatures are quite similar to normal animals we’d see in our own world, and some of them are almost human....

Everyone’s favorite witch has developed a few blemishes in the intervening years. Since the books and movies told the complete Harry Potter story they’ve continued to be analyzed, puzzled over, and investigated. JK Rowling put in so many layers and themes throughout the series that it is rewarding on third and fourth reading or viewing. However, some elements for certain characters haven’t aged as well as others. Between the accuracy (or lack thereof) of portrayals between mediums or simply having modern perspectives reflect poorly on aging ideas, some characters have gone from ’near-perfect’ to less-so....

There has never been a more rebellious trio than the friends we saw on Harry Potter. Each one of the three broke rules on a frequent basis, and did so on individual terms, too. They were always spared, though, because their rule-breaking helped in denying Voldemort (or some other factor). The greatest reason for the three never really being punished for anything (detentions aside) was Dumbledore’s favoritism toward Harry (justified, though), and this helped Ron as well....

Hogwarts contains some of the most powerful witches and wizards in the world. They are at the very top of their profession, but that doesn’t always make them good teachers. While some are clearly incredibly intelligent and talented, it doesn’t necessarily translate into their teaching. At the same time, some of the professors that have been hired at Hogwarts, really shouldn’t be working there at all. They are employed by circumstance, good will, or perhaps because dark forces are at play....

If you’re not a fan of the new iOS 7-like design on Twitter.com, this Safari extension transforms the massive, white tool bar into a less distracting, dark tool bar. It still keeps the simple, flat look and color matching, but it’s much less distracting. Now if only iOS could toggle back and forth as easily… [tweet http://twitter.com/chrkirk/status/431105681102344192] [tweet https://twitter.com/chrisfholm/status/431105399635206144] [tweet https://twitter.com/bowiesongs/status/430418029814366208] You can download TwitterDarkBanner here.

Differences Between Cloud Drives Unlike Google and Microsoft, Apple has not been a popular cloud platform considering the company’s ability to be two steps ahead in so many areas; services continue to be amiss. With Microsoft giving away online storage tiers starting at 15 GB or higher compared to iCloud’s limited 5 GBs, users are probably best served to complement their Apple devices with third-party Cloud services like Microsoft OneDrive, even if you want to still engage in the Apple ecosystem....

Vince Vaughn is trending on Twitter, although it’s not for an upcoming movie or TV show. Instead, it is for what he did, or didn’t do depending on perspective, during the College Football Playoff National Championship. The National Championship game took place on Monday and saw LSU beat out Clemson. While that would typically be enough to make the headlines, the LSU win has been overshadowed by President Trump’s attendance at the game....

Hipster Whale is the game studio behind the hit Crossy Road game and its more recent Crossy Road Castle follow-up. In a new interview with CNET, Hipster Whale CEO Clara Reeves explains some of the history behind the game, the company’s work with Apple Arcade, and more. Reeves opened up about her interest in coding and gaming: Prior to Hipster Whale, Reeves worked about both Atari and Krome Studios where she says the mentorship she received help form her “career in producing and product leadership....

Sometimes it seems like television and movies have become interchangeable. Television series that many fans felt were canceled before their time, such as Firefly and Veronica Mars, got the chance to continue their stories on the big screen. The Simpsons and The X-Files both released films in-between seasons. The events that happen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe affect the events of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. And movies such as Bewitched, 21 Jump Street, and the upcoming C....

Harry Potter has an incredible ensemble cast full of amazing characters. From witches and wizards to muggles and even magical creatures. While it all comes together to create one incredible experience, unfortunately, what it does mean is that many characters don’t get as much dedicated screen time. While Harry, Ron, and Hermione get plenty of time to develop alongside several other lead characters. There are plenty that come and go throughout the series that people would love to know more about....

In the Harry Potter series, Harry has to deal with a lot of abuse and neglect. After the tragic death of his parents, he is then raised by an aunt and uncle who despise him and treat him horribly. Luckily, as Harry gets older, he does get to have some positive parental figures in his life. Molly Weasley is one of the first adults to really look out for him, and then his godfather Sirius Black is there for him after he escaped from Azkaban....

The 25th annual Critics’ Choice Awards saw HBO dominate, as they won the most awards for television at the ceremony in Santa Monica, California. HBO is currently gearing up for the release of their streaming service HBO Max, which launches in May, and it is expected to be a home for future DC series’ like Green Lantern and Strange Adventures. However, their existing network TV shows seem to continue growing and gaining more and more appreciation as time goes on....
