In the Harry Potter series, there’s no denying that Gryffindors and Slytherins get all the fame and infamy. While Gryffindors get most of the good attention for being good and daring, Slytherins get talked about just as much but often for being the evil house. However, among fans, Slytherin and Gryffindor are often the two houses people want to be in most. But, this is a real shame because there are just as many great things about Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw....

A fresh blog entry on the Google India website says that the company will be rolling out a new feature to Android devices that will optimize Web pages so they load faster on slow 2G connections.

Directed by Randal Kleiser, Grease follows star-crossed lovers Danny Zuko (Travolta) and Sandy Olsson (Newton-John).

Griffin’s Elan Passport is a fantastic iPad case which leverages the Folio style. The case opens just like book, as you can see above, and features a microsuede interior. This interior is soft, and ensures protection from scratches for the iPad. The iPad clips in via 4 strong high-quality straps. These straps keep the iPad in place, and do a phenomenal job at it. We took the the case, and shook it all we could and the iPad didn’t even seem to move at all....

Gemma Chan is playing her second MCU character, Sersi, in Marvel’s Eternals after initially playing Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel. Though Sersi isn’t the main protagonist in most Eternals stories, she’s one of the most important Eternals character in Marvel Comics. Confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Marvel’s Eternals was initially expected to hit theaters in 2020 as the second movie on Marvel’s Phase 4 slate. However, the coronavirus pandemic bumped the film’s release a year, and it’s now set to hit theaters on November 5, 2021, two months after Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, making Eternals the third Phase Four film in the MCU after Shang-Chi and Black Widow....

Character breakdowns for Ghostbusters 3 reveal new details on the movie’s young leads. Despite Ghostbusters being one of the most iconic movie brands of all-time, it’s taken over 30 years for Ghostbusters 3 to appear. A large part of this was down to Bill Murray’s unwillingness to return - he didn’t enjoy the experience of making the second film and isn’t a fan of sequels in general. Sony developed a number of scripts for a potential third movie from 2009 to 2014, but reports suggest Murray was so disinterested in the project he failed to read any of the drafts he was sent....

The Good Place served up another classic twist in its fourth and final season, but the clues were actually in plain view the entire time. Fresh off of last week’s tease that a mysterious figure was en-route to the experimental neighborhood, Team Cockroach was trying to resolve a Magic Pictionary crisis when alarm bells started ringing. Rushing to the train station, the ominous newcomer was revealed to be Glenn rather than a version of Michael as had been widely predicted....
