Jonathan Hickman’s X-Men relaunch has been a tremendous success, and as a result X-Men characters are starting to pop up in the most unlikely of places.

However, just as with many other aspects of the movie interpretation, there are some key differences between Ron in the book and Ron in the movies. The movies don’t have as much time to explore the nuances in the book, so many things get left out....

In the world of Harry Potter, not all wizards (and witches) are created equal. This isn’t justification for Voldemort’s hateful rhetoric of, “might equals right.” There are just some magical users who are more skilled or accomplished than others. This list is all about them– the cream of the wizarding crop. The criteria for selecting the most powerful wizards in the Harry Potter universe was simple. It was all about sparsing out the extensive information that is out there to determine which Harry Potter characters have the most impressive feats to their name and how they accomplished them....

During its fifteenth season, Grey’s Anatomy became the longest-running medical drama on television. For sixteen seasons and counting, Meredith Grey and her friends have gone through the wringer. Keeping audiences on the edge of their seats with shocking cliffhangers have only been part of what has made the show so intriguing. When the show is not shocking its fanbase, it is telling emotional, tearjerking stories. It is the job of the season premiere to move forward from the previous story and to begin introducing what to expect of the current one....

Modern traffic controllers are able to execute multiple timing plans, communicate in real-time with a huge quantity networked sensors and elaborate the collected information to manage traffic flows in the most efficient way Coordinated traffic signal systems provide great benefits in term of wasted time, environmental impact and public safety, but for their interconnection, public administration have to spend a great effort to ensure an efficient interconnection on a metropolitan geographic distribution....

John Carpenter’s Halloween is a horror film that has remained relevant for decades, but there was a lot of controversy in the horror community when Rob Zombie briefly took over the franchise.

In the old days, buying and paying for a new iPhone was simple: you typically paid $1-200 up-front, then the rest of the purchase cost was absorbed by carriers into the monthly rates they charged for their contracts. There was no easy way to tell how much of that monthly payment was for calls/texts/data and how much was paying off the balance of the cost of the phone. Today, things are very different, with carriers being much more transparent about what you pay for your contract – if you choose to have one – and how much you pay for the iPhone itself....

You would think that after eight movies there would be nothing that fans don’t know about Harry Potter, who was the main character for one of the most popular movie franchises of all time, but despite the great detail the films go into, that isn’t the case.

Harry Potter is anything but perfect. He has made countless mistakes during high pressure situations. These choices can sometimes cost him his friendships and maybe even put those he loves in danger. The golden trio in general, Harry, Hermione and Ron, have all made bad decisions. Over the course of the seven books, eight films and a play, the trio have done some really terrible things. They’ve walked head on into danger, put Lockhart in hospital and often given Voldemort the advantage....
