They're never gonna be able to replicate the chemistry these two had in the revival.

"Well, Son. I'm going to act like it's okay for you to be sorted into Slytherin until you actually are at which point it's going to be a massive problem, resulting in a rift in our relationship and cause you to act out in a way that will make things worse for everyone else, break canon and ultimately be a complete waste of time."

And that ladies and gentlemen is why Cursed Child should be ignored.

One of the best plotted parts of the series is the significance of the Quidditch matches Harry plays in as they correlate pretty directly with his growth as a character, and more specifically, the matches against Slytherin.

Going by the books.

First year, Harry learning to fly is significant because it's the first thing he's good at and as a result becomes the youngest seeker in a century. After he wins his first game against Slytherin, for once he's actually earned all the praise everyone has been heaping on him.

Second year, Harry beats Slytherin again, this time directly beating Malfoy, who has up until this point been a massive pain in the ass and gets truly put in his place for the first time. Even with a rogue bludger trying to do him in. Harry's injury in this game also leads to him learning more about the petrifications, but that isn't really relevant to this.

Third year, all three matches are significant. This is the first and only year Gryffindor doesn't play Slytherin first due to Slytherin using Malfoy's "injury" as an excuse to not play on bad weather. The match against Hufflepuff is the first game Harry ever lost and also lost his broom as well, leading to a new broom being sent by Sirius, which I personally thought was a metaphor for Harry growing up. This match is also the catalyst for Harry learning the Patronus. The match against Ravenclaw has several distinctions. It's the only match against them Harry ever actually played since every other year he doesn't play in the last game of the season (He's in hospital wing in first year, the match was cancelled in second year, no Quidditch fourth year, fifth year he got banned but more on that later, and sixth year he had detention), it's also where he first started to got a crush on Cho and it's the first time he conjured a corporeal Patronus.The final this year is the only final Harry plays in and it's against Slytherin, the victory is significant as it's Harry's first Quidditch cup and breaks Gryffindor's seven year losing streak.

Fifth year, Harry beats Slytherin and then physically beats Malfoy, which lets be fair, he deserved, but as a result, gets banned from playing by Umbridge.

Sixth year, Harry is captain, his win against Slytherin is proof that Harry was the right choice for captain and he wasn't just picking his friends, and Harry was still able to focus despite his suspicions on why malfoy wasn't playing.

But those are just my thoughts. Let me know if you agree or disagree.

Has there been any update on the status of the anime conclusion of Clear Card? It's been over three years since the announcement that there would be a continuation to Clear Card. And it's been two and a half years since the manga concluded. Has there been any word?

The Defense Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts was cursed by Voldemort after he was denied the job, everyone who took the job had their life ruined until Voldemort's death. Of all the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers we saw, whose ultimate fate do you think was the worst? In case you need to be reminded of what happened to them:

Quirinus Quirrell: Died by a combination of severe burns and Voldemort draining the last of his life force to save himself.

Gilderoy Lockhart: Permanently lost his memory and became a permanent patient of St. Mungo's.

Remus Lupin: Exposed as a werewolf, fired, shunned and later killed during the Battle of Hogwarts.

Barry Crouch Jr./Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody: Given the Dementor's kiss.

Delores Umbridge: Resigned and returned to work at the Ministry of Magic. Later sentenced to life in Azkaban for complicity in Voldemort's regime.

Severus Snape: Killed by Voldemort during the Battle of Hogwarts.

So, who had the worst fate.

So this morning I was talking to my mom about random things, and suddenly she mentioned the movie The Elephant Man, and how unnerving it was. Then she mentioned off-handedly, that Cher had starred in a movie like it, but couldn't remember what it was called. She was referring to the movie The Mask, which I knew about but haven't seen.

Tonight on my nightly reruns of the X-Files, the episode I saw was The Post-Modern Prometheus, in which The Mask was actually a plot point.

That's a pretty damn weird coincidence, don't you think?

I have an idea for how a sequel should have gone. And by that I mean it should have just been the same movie without the grandson's interruptions and all the parts that were skipped over because of them are included.

This is a joke to be clear. I wouldn't change a thing about the movie.

The four Hogwarts Houses each value different things, and occasionally, someone comes along and you genuinely don't understand why they were there. So here's my pick for the worst member of each house. Now to be clear, I'm basing this on the books.

Gryffindor, values bravery, daring and nerve. The student who exemplifies those the least is Peter Pettigrew. Cowardly, self serving, his actions directly lead to the deaths of his supposed friends.

Slytherin, values ambition and cunning. Gregory Goyle seems really disinterested in being anything other than a follower, which is really the opposite of ambition.

Ravenclaw, values knowledge above all. So it begs the question how Gilderoy Lockhart, who was so comically inept at basically everything got sorted into this house?

Hufflepuff values honesty, fairness and loyalty as their main traits. So I personally feel confident saying Zacharias Smith is the worst Hufflepuff, as he abandoned the D.A during the battle of Hogwarts to save his own skin even pushing first years out of the way.

So these are just some random thoughts I had. Do you agree, disagree? Let me know.

So, I'm a little over halfway through the original series for the first time, and I've been reflecting on the weird history I've had with the X-Files even before I started watching it.

So, I was born about a month before the show premiered, so I can't remember a point in time where the show didn't exist. Growing up I would always see the promos for the show but was too young to watch it. But my parents were big fans. In fact, there came a point where hearing the theme song was basically my cue to go to bed.

As I got older, I got into different monster of the week shows, but just kept putting off watching X-Files. But in the last few years I've been burned out by the serious drop in quality of most modern TV shows and started to put a serious dent in classic shows I wanted to watch, and the most recent thing I've gotten into is, you guessed it, The X-Files, and I've been watching it with my dad. It's actually been a weird thing for us to bond over.

So here I am, finally going through something that was part of the background of my life for as long as i can remember. There are some things about the show that annoy me, but overall I'm enjoying the show immensely.

OPINION: While cited by many as the best movie overall, while being a pretty mediocre adaptation of the source material, The Prisoner of Azkaban has a major flaw that bugs me.

This movie was the beginning of the films being much more visually drab. And don't get me wrong, I'm okay with darker colours being used to visualise a darker tone, but that's not what the movie did. It was just drab and grey. I could get past it more if it was just used for when the Dementors were on screen, but that's not what was done. The whole movie just feels more lifeless than the previous two, and it just continues in all subsequent films too.
