Now that the Quidditch World Cup is finally over (though it was fun while it lasted!), we can finally hope to see those pesky last few chapters of Goblet of Fire. It’s been since January that the last installment was released and since April that we Ravenclaws were promised 24-hours early access. Pottermore (which, for some reason, has been…
It’s been 13 years since the last Jurassic Park movie. THIRTEEN YEARS. Honestly, this franchise reboot has been loooong overdue. If you haven’t read my Jurassic Park: Nublar vs. Sorna article, I would suggest reading that first before going any further. I’ll be referencing things that I wrote there as I continue with this article.…
Jurassic Park is a 1990 novel by Michael Crichton and a 1993 film directed by Steven Spielberg. The Lost World: Jurassic Park novel was published in 1995, and the 1997 film, also directed by Steven Spielberg, is loosely based on that novel. Lastly, Jurassic Park III is a 2001 movie only, this time directed by Joe Johnston. Michael Crichton did not…
J.K. “Jo” Rowling never ceases to disappoint. Adding to the series of Daily Prophet reports by Ginny Potter, giving us play-by-play analysis of every match during the Quidditch World Cup, Jo has now penned a gossip column by our favorite notorious journalist, Rita Skeeter. Her article gives us an insight into what Harry, Hermione, and Ron are doing now…
As of April 11th (now almost three months ago—where has the time gone?), Pottermore users have access to a new shop in Diagon Alley. That “shop” is actually the Daily Prophet office, just down the south side street from Ollivanders. Before the Daily Prophet office’s opening, Ollivanders was the only accessible shop on the south…
Apparently, Pottermore producers can only handle one thing at a time. In a recent post on the Pottermore Insider concerning account deletions, there were also a few FAQs, among which was this big question: when will the final installment of the Goblet of Fire be released? The answer: shortly after the Quidditch World Cup finals,…
Our first glimpse into the fifth series of the wildly popular TV show Downton Abbey found its way onto YouTube yesterday. Unfortunately, we’re not given any new footage, so we’re left hoping that further trailers will remedy that. What we are given is Carson speaking over the all-too-familiar opening video sequence (minus the usual credits).…
Chills. This perfect trailer is perfect. It’s perfect, because it’s so ridiculously simple. It doesn’t show us several glimpses from the movie mashed-up together, as you’d typically expect from a teaser trailer. No. Instead, this teaser trailer simply shows us President Snow addressing the nation of Panem, with Peeta standing wistfully by his side. It…
John Green, author of The Fault In Our Stars, Paper Towns, and Looking for Alaska, visited The Colbert Report on Monday. Stephen Colbert is awesome. John Green is awesome. So, it goes without saying that the resulting interview between these two great minds was also awesome. My favorite part? When Stephen Colbert says this about YA novels: How…
Unlike The Greater Good and The OMEn Chronicles, which have 1.4 and 1.1 million views respectively, this fan film has significantly fewer views at 42,000, despite being on YouTube longer (since 2012). It’s called The Battle of Hogwarts, and the action of this fan film centers around (you guessed it) the Battle of Hogwarts from Harry Potter…
