The production came about as a collaboration between Pottermore Publishing, and Audible, the world’s largest producer of audiobooks. “We are delighted to bring fan-favorite performers from across the wizarding world together for this unforgettable listening experience,” said Diana Dapito, SVP of Content at Audible.

The video, posted to TikTok last month by Samantha Colgan, has garnered over 287,000 views and hundreds of comments from One Direction fans, calling Colgan a “legend.” The iconic moment took place at a One Direction concert in 2014. During the show, a fan threw her phone on stage. So, Styles picked it up, took a seat and texted her dad. A video from the night showed Styles drafting the message while the other members of the band performed the song Little Things....

Charles Lieber, the 62-year-old ex-chair of Harvard’s department of chemistry and chemical biology, was found guilty last month of making false statements, filing false tax returns and not filing reports for his Chinese bank account. Lieber was accused of hiding his participation in China’s Thousand Talents Plan, which recruits people from foreign countries who are able to share secrets about their country’s technologies and intellectual properties. Prosecutors said Wuhan University of Technology paid Lieber $50,000 a month to help with things like applying for patents and organizing conferences, as well as another $1....

While the removal of a Steam page is by no means a smoking gun when it comes to game cancellations, it is usually not a good sign. Couple that with the fact Dead Island 2 has been in development limbo for quite some time and it seems more likely than not that the game has been put on hold. Originally announced back at E3 2014, Dead Island 2 was to be a Yager Development product, from the folks that brought us the critically acclaimed war shooter Spec Ops: The Line....

Both sites quote a release date of December 2020 so you’re going to have to wait. Unlike some existing poor quality or very expensive Baby Yoda merch (OK fine, we can’t keep calling it The Child either) the Hasbro version is pretty faithful to the version seen in the Mandalorian and will burp and gurgle for you. Hasbro is a well-established and loved toy brand, lending this the air of a proper official release....

After being left out of Chelsea’s Premier League starting lineups since August, Pulisic was drafted in for Callum Hudson-Odoi at Turf Moor and scored the opening goal of the game after 21 minutes. The 21-year-old, who provided an assist for fellow substitute Michy Batshuayi’s goal in a 1-0 Champions League win over Ajax in midweek, doubled Chelsea’s lead on the cusp of halftime and scored again after 56 minutes to become the club’s youngest hat-trick scorer the Premier League era....

Ronaldo struck a hat-trick – his seventh in the competition – at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday to inspire the holders to a 3-0 victory, with Zinedine Zidane’s men putting one foot firmly in the Cardiff final.

Beyond collectable items, such as blueprints and emblems, there are sections of the map that have been haunted by ghosts and horror movie characters. Add in the nighttime darkness and addition of zombies, and the Verdansk experience has been completely overhauled through the end of October.

After a slower paced first two episodes, Hawkeye has now become one of the MCU’s most exciting projects to date. The show focuses on Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) post-blip in New York City during the Holidays, as he is forced to team up with the young archer Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) to confront old and new enemies. One of those threats includes Kazi, a mercenary for the tracksuit mafia....

In Hawkeye’s finale, while featured only in a few scenes, viewers were quick to pick up on Kingpin’s increased yet unrealistic strength. The villain was able to survive many blows that would’ve surely killed anyone else, and some fans weren’t thrilled by change to Kingpin’s strength level.

Hazard played under the Portuguese at Chelsea between 2013 and 2015, assuming an instrumental role in the Blues’ Premier League title win in the 2014-15 season. Mourinho oversaw a torrid start to the following campaign – losing nine of his first 16 league games – and was dismissed in December amid rumours of bust-ups with senior players, including Hazard. Hazard is set to come up against his former boss when United travel to Stamford Bridge next Saturday, and despite admitting that it was the right decision for Mourinho to leave Chelsea three years ago, Hazard maintains there is no other manager he would rather play for again....

The Belgium international teed up Jorginho to make the score 2-1 to Chelsea in the 31st minute, seeing him reach a half-century of assists in the top flight. That means Hazard – who has also scored 81 times – has had a hand in 131 goals in the Premier League since joining from Lille in 2012. He has already reached double figures for goals in a single season for the fifth time at Chelsea, needing just four more to equal his personal best of 16 in the league in the 2016-17 campaign....

HBO has done some important sports journalism over the years, but its track record on coverage of college athletics is predictable and abysmal. HBO aired the execrable documentary “Student Athlete” in 2018 and, earlier this year, presented the ludicrous “The Scheme,” which seemed designed to cast convicted criminal Christian Dawkins as some sort of Marvel superhero. BENDER: Best-case scenario for college football in 2020 still stands Sankey agreed to talk anyway, and the “Real Sports” program used that opportunity mostly to harangue him for declining to break the confidence of his member schools regarding how many of their football players had tested positive for COVID-19 after returning to campus....

RELATED: Shows To Watch If You Love Barry The series Barry operates under a strange mix of drama, suspense, and comedy. These themes are implemented through the excellent dialogue written for its unique characters. Many of the most iconic lines in Barry are out of place, but their unusual placements often add to their charm. 10 “I Just Like Broth.” Barry decides to pursue acting as a means of distancing himself from his treacherous past....

The official HBO Twitter account shared a rather lighthearted-looking photo from the set of Barry while simultaneously confirming that the show is currently filming its 3rd season, and devoted fans of the show will likely note how bittersweet the picture is when juxtaposed with how the previous season ended. The shot features Bill Hader (main character Barry Berkman) and Hollywood’s most pleasant human Henry Winkler (acting coach Gene Cousineau) sporting big smiles for the camera, though the background seems to look like the kind of set where an action-heavy (and not very happy) scene may occur....

HBO recently dropped the first page of the first script for the first episode on the Twitter account for the upcoming fourth season of their popular crime anthology series set to drop this year, and it’s scene-setting at its finest. When it was announced that not only would there be a fourth season of HBO’s crime anthology series, True Detective, but that it would star Jodie Foster whose 1991 psychological thriller, The Silence of the Lambs, still reigns supreme in the pop culture landscape, things seemed ripe for a big comeback for the franchise....

Despite the words MIKE TYSON adorning the flamboyant iron gate, the Southington spread is not exactly Mike. Flanked by waterfalls and duck ponds, the sprawling mansion rises out of the scarecrow-studded cornfields like a mirage. This is Amish country, 45 minutes outside Cleveland.

United left Turin with a shock 2-1 win in the Champions League on Wednesday, with Pogba playing the full 90 minutes as two late goals secured a dramatic turnaround. Reports on Friday suggested he was a doubt for Sunday’s outing after missing training and his absence was confirmed when United’s team sheet had Marouane Fellaini starting in his place. Mourinho said the France international - who scored twice at City last term - put his body on the line for the team in midweek....
