It's Meme Time . I don't care what time of the day it is: if you are reading this at press time, it is that special time of the day when you're going to look at some memes whether you want to or not. Meme Time is a lot like the recent social media phenomenon BeReal . On BeReal, you get prompted by your phone every day to take a picture of what you're doing; insta worthy or not. The notification will go off during random and different times of the day, so you never know when it's time to BeReal.…

David Yates, what's your damage?

Y'ARG MATEYS! This be a pirate meme compilation. My name is Captain Craig (I know, it's a lousy pirate name…I'm working on it), and I have a tale of woe that's worse than swabbing the deck for fourteen fortnights or even walking the plank. Our fierce pirate crew decked our ship on a deserted island, knowing there was bound to be some hidden treasure afoot. Ye ship's trusty boatswain came upon a big red X, and we knew it would be easy sailing from here. Imagine my surprise when Scallyway Steve d…

The "Forbidden" Forest

The Harry Potter fandom was different before the movies came out. There was a unique stretch of time between 1997 and 2001 where nobody, and I mean nobody, knew how to pronounce Hermione's name. In hindsight, it's kind of difficult to believe that so few kids asked their parents how to pronounce the name of a main character from their favorite book series. She's a Shakespearean character, for crying out loud! The movies and the books have become so intertwined throughout the years it's hard to…

Not the worst living situation

Harry Potter fans love to praise the worldbuilding of the Wizarding World, and I understand why. Harry Potter is often the first prolonged series of books young readers will consume that takes place in a complex alternate universe. Because of this nostalgia, the worldbuilding gets a bit overhyped by fans who don't wish to see any of the series' flaws. The piece of worldbuilding that most befuddled me when I first read Harry Potter was the “genetic blood protection spell” that Lily allegedly cas…

Time is weird. Five minutes doesn't sound, outwardly, like a lot of time. But it can pass in wildly different ways. Five minutes at the DMV, or waiting for 5 o'clock to roll around, can feel like an eternity. The same goes for waiting in line for a drink at a crowded bar. But five minutes doing something more enjoyable can pass a lot more quickly. A five-minute turn on some sort of amusement ride (they're usually a lot shorter) can feel like five seconds for people who enjoy them, and five year…

"Forbidden Forest"

Well, it's official. A Harry Potter TV reboot is in the works at HBO. Apparently, each season is going to cover one book from the series. Like many Potterheads, I think this is a horrible idea. First of all, the last Harry Potter movie came out only 12 years ago . That is way too soon to do a full-blown reboot of the series. I also think it's a miracle that the Harry Potter movies were made as well as they were, and I doubt an HBO series is going to be able to strike gold twice with the same st…

The boy who lived is going to be a father! Life is imitating art right now because it was confirmed that Daniel Radcliffe and his longtime girlfriend are expecting a baby! Hopefully, he won't give this infant a name like “Albus Severus Potter," but I trust him not to be as foolish as the actual Harry Potter. If there's any actor that I'm rooting for, it's Daniel Radcliffe. That man gave his childhood to us, leading the Harry Potter movies with impressive skill at such a young age. I'm stoked th…
