The Harry Potter universe is filled with magical places and moments that are quite memorable. One of these moments is the first time that Harry goes to Diagon Alley. During this visit, he goes into Gringotts Bank for the first time. This imposing bank is filled with piles of gold coins as well as a lot of mystery. While it might create an imposing and fantastical atmosphere, there are many ways in which Gringotts just doesn’t make a lot of practical sense as a banking system....

The Gilmores are well-known for their love of junk food, their extensive knowledge of pop culture, Lorelai’s (Lauren Graham) wacky ways and Rory’s (Alexis Bledel) more studious nature. The mother-daughter duo often stole the screen and forced us to make them a part of our lives in a way only they can–in other words, we’ve been Gilmored. Still, Gilmore Girls featured the likes of many recognizable celebrities. When we weren’t completely enamored in the storylines of the Gilmores, we took the time to notice who they were sharing the screen with....

Beginning over 22 years ago, the beloved Fallout franchise took the traditional role-playing formula and flipped it on its head in exploring an entirely different setting. The atompunk themed post-apocalyptic series has since spawned numbers sequels, spinoffs, and jumped into other mediums - including collectibles. At Screen Rant HQ we got our hands on several high-end must-haves for Fallout fans from Chronicle Collectibles and are giving them away to a pair of lucky Screen Rant readers....

Godzilla: King of the Monsters reveals that long ago, humanity engaged in a costly war with Titans. It would seem that the history between Man and Titan in the MonsterVerse was more complicated than it was originally thought. Also, it appears the humans and not the monsters were the villains of the story. The third film in the MonsterVerse touches on the history of the Titans and their association with humans when Monarch goes down into the Hollow Earth tunnels to find Godzilla....

Google Pixel series devices have been well known in the smartphone market for the last couple of years, which stands out pretty well in flagship hardware specifications, camera excellence, performance with Pixel UI, and cool design overview. Though Google Pixel devices are the first to receive the latest Android OS updates and security patches, some users might need to install Google Pixel 6 Pro Firmware using Fastboot Factory Images and OTA Files....

Google’s new Pixel smartphone is apparently failing to properly display screengrabs sent from the iPhone 7 Plus. Screengrabs sent from within an app on the iPhone arrive with both dimensions and colors distorted. A Google support forum employee initially blamed Apple, suggesting that Pixel owners ‘reach out to Apple support’ before others pointed out that the problem had to be at the Pixel end, an apparent bug in the way that either the Pixel or Android 7....

Grace and Frankie is the kind of show that often gets overlooked when it comes to Netflix original series. Compared to the high drama of Orange Is The New Black, or the hype surrounding the interconnected Defenders series, this sweet sitcom just doesn’t make the same kind of headlines. Despite that, Grace and Frankie deserves a lot more attention than it gets, as a sitcom that pushes boundaries, mixes smart humor with dirty jokes, and balances tenderness and silliness to create something totally unique....

Arrow is currently in the middle of its eighth and final season as the Stephen Amell-led series has only a handful of episodes left before it wraps up. The series that created the Arrowverse may be ending, but a spin-off is currently in the works that would keep the Arrow side of Greg Berlanti’s franchise alive. The CW previously announced that a female team-up series featuring Oliver’s daughter Mia (Katherine McNamara) as well as the two Black Canaries, Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) and Dinah Drake (Juliana Harkavy) is in the works....

Last fall we showed you Nomad’s Horween Leather Case for iPhone 7 Plus which is a sturdy alternative to Apple’s similar cases, and now Nomad is back with a new Midnight Blue color joining the existing Rustic Brown option. This time we’re checking out Nomad’s $50 Leather Folio Wallet iPhone 7 Plus case which is wrapped in Horween Leather with Nomad’s new blue. I don’t personally use an iPhone case on a daily basis (the iPhone 7 Plus is big enough already), but I do carry a wallet and my iPhone....

A new teaser for the upcoming Harley Quinn animated series has been released, and gives fans their first taste of Alan Tudyk’s Joker laugh. DC Universe launched in September 2018, offering fans a range of content from their back catalog and a selection of original programming. Thus far, the majority of the series have been live-action, kicking off with Titans. The show was eventually followed up by its direct spinoff, Doom Patrol, and the unconnected, ill-fated Swamp Thing adaptation....

The second Harry Potter book is much darker than the first. It introduces our first encounter with Voldemort of the past. We learn quite a bit about his history at Hogwarts as a teenager when he was known as Tom Marvolo Riddle. This book also introduces us to the Chamber of Secrets and its dark and troublesome secrets within the castle walls. While both the book and film are favorites among many, there are some unresolved plot holes that have left us very curious over the years....

You may have heard of them; they created the famous Marauders Map, even if this origin story is never addressed in the movies....

When it comes to the Harry Potter books, many readers have expressed how Ron and Harry are the best BrOTP. No matter what trials or tribulations they faced, they were inseparable. They were so loyal that they would follow each other to the ends of the earth if they had to. However, the films were a different matter. Hermione seemed to replace Ron as Harry’s best friend, providing more support and comfort in the darkest of times....

While TV shows have been available through iTunes in Canada, the Apple TV has not been a source of TV show downloading. Now, Apple appears to have sent an over-the-air update to Apple TV boxes in Canada, and TV show downloading is now available. Episode downloads cost between free and $2.49 a pop and are actually full downloads, not rentals. Apple recently traded single TV show episode rentals for a TV show downloads service....

In January we exclusively debuted and unboxed the contents of the Left Alive: Mech Edition bundle from Square Enix, highlighted by the incredible VOLK Action Figure, and promised that we’d be giving this collector’s edition away to one lucky Screen Rant reader after launch.

Dark mode has slowly been making its way to various Google services and will be a big highlight of the upcoming Android Q release. Over the past couple months, though, we’ve been tracking a dark mode in Google Chrome on both macOS and Windows 10. Now, that feature respects the system-wide dark mode on both platforms. Spotted over the past day or so by Reddit and Twitter users, Chrome 74 which just released in the Canary channel seems to respect the system-wide dark mode on both Windows 10 and macOS....
