The Great Hall is arguably the most impressive part of Hogwarts. With its grand walls, floating candles and the ability to transform to match the needs of whatever event is taking place within, it acts as a central hub for the events of almost every Harry Potter film. While it’s too big to miss entirely, there are a fair few details, secrets and nuances that may have passed you by in the grand scheme of things....

Sirius Black and Molly Weasley are two very important characters in the life of Harry Potter. Sirius is his godfather and his father’s best friend, although he sadly misses out on a chance to get to know him until later in life due to his wrongful imprisonment in Azkaban. While Molly is Harry’s surrogate mother that immediately embraces him and takes care of him in ways that Petunia Dursley never did....

Yesterday’s report that Germany’s contact tracing app would launch today was correct. The country originally planning an app that captured location data and used a centralized database before privacy objections saw it make a U-turn and instead use the Apple/Google API. The most staggering part of today’s confirmation, however, is that developing the coronavirus app – where the API does the heavy lifting, and Apple provided sample code to do much of the rest – somehow cost the government €20M ($22....

Windows updates can take a while to download and install, but after a while, it’s time to investigate. Unfortunately, the Getting Windows Ready stuck error often occurs when an update glitch happens—seemingly out of nowhere. If you don’t know how to fix this problem, here are some troubleshooting tips you can try. Disconnect your Internet Connection You can often run into the error while the finalization process on an update occurs....

[youtube=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG2Wn2dm5-4″] Since the removal of YouTube, and Maps as preloaded Google apps within iOS, Google has been especially adept at developing its own set of iOS apps. We previously detailed how Google wants to own the iOS ecosystem on the apps level, providing users with an alternative universe to most of the core features of Apple’s mobile operating system. It appears Google now has a dedicated iOS app team which builds cohesive apps rather than having each business unit build its own apps....

While most are wondering which dessert is going to be used for the Android Q initial and which new features will the iOS come up with. Google developers, on the other hand, are busy in bringing forth features that are not just new but might just make the headlines as well. Now it’s obvious that we always want to bring forth all features that are upcoming just like the XDA Developers and looks like a really interesting feature has finally come in front in the upcoming Android Q iOS....

As expected, Google updated its Chrome for iOS app to version 27 today after releasing updates for both desktop and Android late last month. The update includes a number of new improvements, the most notable of which is voice search that allows users to take advantage of the conversational voice search features Google already rolled out to Mac. Google previously announced the feature (pictured above), would be arriving on iOS, but today the updated app is officially available to all on the App Store....

With that, yesterday, Google announced they have shut down the development of the product and plan on dropping all support for it by the end of this year. The code and technology behind the product will remain on Google’s servers indefinitely as an open-source platform, but gone for good are its stand-alone web-app days. For concerned “heavy users” of Wave, Google is developing export tools, so the data will not get lost when the service goes down for good....

WARNING: The following contains SPOILERS for Guardians of the Galaxy #5 The new Guardians of the Galaxy team have been stranded after searching for Gamora, with the intent to protect her from Marvel’s evil Dark Guardians. Their former teammate is now missing, which means they must call on the help of the most fan-favorite of Marvel’s Inhumans. That’s right, Lockjaw is an honorary Guardian. As if the previous issue didn’t leave enough of a cliffhanger by having Star-Lord almost killed by Nebula, Guardians #5 begins with Peter Quill alive and recognizing the team has no time to spare....

Jamie Lloyd’s arc in the Halloween franchise came to an end very early on in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, and there were mostly narrative reasons behind it. Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers is the sixth installment in the franchise, which went beyond and above and added new elements to the Michael Myers mythology that didn’t appeal to fans, making it one of the lowest-grossing entries. The Curse of Michael Myers (or Halloween 6) follows the events in Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers, where at the end Jamie Lloyd (Laurie Strode’s daughter, played by Danielle Harris) was seen hiding inside the police station after a “Man in Black” killed the officers and let Michael Myers free....

The company was showing off the new Pro+ iPad Pro at CES today, and we were able to go hands-on with it just at pre-orders have opened up. We also got a look at the iPadOS Trackpad, a highly portable standalone option. Brydge announced that pre-orders for the Pro+ for the 11- and 12....

For the witches and wizards that live in the world of the Harry Potter series, it’s safe to say that the sky is the limit. With magic at your fingertips it would seem that anyone could make even their wildest dreams come true. However, just like in the world of muggles, there are certain occupations in the wizarding world that are treated with more respect and reverence than others, and there are few jobs in that world that are more renowned than that of an auror....

The Harry Potter movies are brilliant, don’t get us wrong, but they don’t always stay true to the source material that is J.K. Rowling’s amazing books. As a result, Warner Bros. had many decisions to make about what to include and what to omit — meaning not everything can be crammed into a single two-hour blockbuster. So we’re now going to wind the clock back and take a look at the Chamber of Secrets movie....

George Clooney is one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood, having sat proudly at the top of the A-list for the last couple of decades. While most actors are up and down in the quality of their films, Clooney is usually pretty dependable. He doesn’t just star in his movies; he produces a lot of them with his business partner Grant Heslov and even directs some of them. He has a lot more certified “fresh” scores on Rotten Tomatoes than “rotten” ones, which is pretty impressive for a guy with so many movies on his résumé....

In a sneaky post to his Instagram Story, Mark Zuckerberg (the Co-Founder and CEO of Meta) revealed that a brand new searchable map feature is launching on Instagram today. This new feature offers huge opportunities for local businesses or anyone wanting to attract a location-specific audience. Let’s dive into how this searchable map works and how you can leverage it as a local business on Instagram. Introducing Instagram’s searchable map experience In a nutshell, Instagram has just rolled out a new way for users to discover local businesses....

Last week, we reviewed the SteelSeries Apex M800 Mechanical Keyboard. The review was largely positive, citing the keyboard’s Mac-centric keycaps, individual LED lights and tactile key switches. The SteelSeries Apex M800 is one of the more unique keyboards that we’ve tried, as each individual key can be customized with key bindings and LEDs. With SteelSeries’ Engine 3 software, customization is only a few clicks away. We’re giving away this $170 keyboard to one of our fabulous readers....

Shocking coming from the source. Gizmodo says the iPhone 4 is fatally flawed because it is all glass and poorly engineered antenna on the outside, no matter how nice the Retina Display and new features and size are. Apparently, they’ve already experienced some breakage. This time, despite creating perhaps the best smartphone available and one of the most beautiful industrial objects in their history, the Apple industrial design team has failed....

Glee was one of those shows that you had to watch with a box full of tissues by your side in order to properly get through. This was due to the fact that the series presented a roller coaster of emotions in practically every episode from start to finish. There were so many heartbreaking moments in the series, making it is almost impossible to keep track of all the times we cried our eyes out while shakily updating our Facebook statuses in order to announce to the uninterested internet that we were “Proud Gleeks....
