Happy New Year! Finally, we can put 2016 behind us and hope for a better year. As I sift through the “#worstyearever” hashtag, I feel as though I need to remind myself of the good things that were given us in 2016. Certainly, this doesn’t make up for all those that we’ve lost this year—Alan…
As December marches nearer, every week we see more and more clips from The Force Awakens. From the trailers that we have seen so far, I feel as though I can definitively say that this is the reboot that Star Wars deserves. I don’t know any actual data for this question, but if I were to post a…
If this is your first time hearing about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, you might be a “no-maj”. Fantastic Beasts is, of course, one of two schoolbooks of Harry’s that J.K. Rowling published in 2001 during the unbearably long wait between Goblet of Fire (published in 2000) and Order of the Phoenix (published in 2003). It’s…
Yesterday, I posted an article theorizing the answers to these questions: “Where is the American Wizarding school located? What is it called?” While writing that article, so many more questions floated to my mind’s surface, too many to include in the article I write yesterday. I therefore decided that an additional article to house these questions…
Congratulations! You are only about 440 days away from seeing Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! While we have so many more answers than we had two years ago when Fantastic Beasts was first announced (I can’t believe it’s already been two years), there are still so many questions. Let’s start with what we know: David Yates is…
Despite my grumblings when Pottermore doesn’t quite meet my expectations, I must say that it has been a pretty awesome past twelve days of Pottermore Christmas. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting up early (mostly) every morning to report on each new moment over the past twelve days. And now, we’ve come to the final day: what…
Black Friday has now passed us by and Cyber Monday is mere hours away. This is the perfect time to ask yourselves: Do you have enough ornaments for your tree? Are they geeky enough to be the envy of your friends when they visit you for the holidays? If the answer to either of those…
All the way back on April 9th, Pottermore announced that it would be severing ties with Sony, which had been integral in starting the brand in the first place. Now that partnership has been dissolved, which leads to three questions: What is the future of Pottermore.com? What is the future of Pottermore at PlayStation Home? What is…
Three weeks ago, I posted about the Middle-Earth Map Chrome Experiment. At that time, one location was still locked. That location, the Lonely Mountain, has since been opened. Honestly, I think that it features the most interesting interactive content yet—of any of the five previous locations. You enter the Lonely Mountain. Smaug addresses you, as…
Critics say yes. Audience reviews and Twitter reactions say yes. The box office numbers say yes. I say yes. There are two ways that we can answer this question. First, is Catching Fire a better movie? Second, is Catching Fire a better adaptation? Both are valid questions, and both answers are still yes, in my opinion.…
