Dumbledore has some of the best quotes of any of the characters from Harry Potter. Considering all he has been through in his life and his age when the series is happening, it’s no wonder he has a lot of insight to offer. Many of Dumbledore’s most illuminating quotes have to do with magic.

While they might have met a few of his basic needs, they were resentful about it the whole time. In a variety of ways, they were both neglectful and abusive. When reading back on the books, the things that the Dursleys do are pretty hard to swallow and completely unacceptable....

Today, Google has released a Chrome for iOS update that disables support for third-party keyboards entirely because of such issues. It’s not clear which issues exactly were behind this decision, as the company only lists a very broad description of the problem: “Third-party keyboards have been disabled due to crashes caused by a bug in iOS 9....
