'Fantastic Beasts' Easter Egg Subtly Nods To The Late, Great Terry Pratchett — And Reveals A Character's Motivation!
There's no denying it: J. K. Rowling is a genius. Every Harry Potter fan knows that she puts an incredible amount of effort into every detail of her wizarding world. Even character names carry deeper meaning! Some are obvious: for example, 'Lupin' is a clear signpost to the Latin for 'wolf', a perfect fit for this lycanthropic character. Others are more subtle; 'Dumbledore' is an archaic name for 'bumblebee', picked because Rowling found the word sweet, while his first name 'Albus' comes from a Celtic word for 'noble'.
Why 'Fantastic Beasts' Is the Most Political Harry Potter Story Yet
It's incredible to think that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was originally released back in June 1997. Now, a full 19 years later, we're returning to the Wizarding World in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them — a cinematic triumph that's sure to be box office gold! As the years have passed, J. K. Rowling's status and influence has only grown. She's become a surprisingly political figure, and Harry Potter fans will see more than a hint of Rowling's growing political views in Fantastic Beasts...

Suicide Squad is looking to be a fun, off-beat film - so what better way to promote it than to take advantage of EURO 2016? England manager Roy Hodgson has confirmed his final squad, and to celebrate (and get in on the act), Warner Bros. had a surprising announcement!
The 'Fantastic Beasts' Screenplay Raises Disturbing Questions About Dumbledore & Grindelwald's History
Although Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a standalone film, it should come as no surprise to Harry Potter fans that it's well-connected to the wider Wizarding World. We all know the genius of J. K. Rowling, so many were anticipating seeing how the threads of the Wizarding World subtly tie together in Fantastic Beasts. In one disturbing scene (toned down a little in the theatrical release), J. K. Rowling teases a very ominous relationship between Grindelwald and Credence. This relationship raises difficult questions about the historical relationship between the dark wizard and Albus Dumbledore himself...
The Obscurial From 'Fantastic Beasts' Shines A New Light On Harry's Childhood — And Dumbledore's Riskiest Decision
Released in 1997, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone introduced a generation to a whole new wizarding hero: Harry Potter, a.k.a. 'The Boy who Lived'. The book opened with a scene set in the past, revealing the infant Harry to be the sole survivor of an attack by the greatest dark wizard of all time, Voldemort. Seven books followed, and the novels soon became a phenomenally popular series of eight movies — but everything that happened was really a result of that fateful day, and each story added a whole new layer of depth and meaning to the baby Harry's survival.

But now, Joblo is reporting a number of exclusives that give us some tantalising hints as to the direction Thor: Ragnarok could take...
'Uncanny X-Men Annual' Pokes Fun At 'Batman v Superman' And Addresses The X-Men's Biggest Problem
"Welcome to the X-Men. Hope you survive the experience!" It's become something of a joke in X-Men circles, but #Marvel's merry mutants probably have the highest death-and-resurrection rate of any superhero team. Whether you're talking about Cyclops or Storm, Jean Grey or Cable, almost every X-Man has had their brush with death and resurrection. Right now, some of the key mutants — Professor Xavier, Cyclops, and Wolverine — are believed dead, but nobody's expecting it to last.
Warcraft Reveals How the Film Industry Is Changing—and Studios Need to Take Note!
We're coming to the end of the summer box office season, and, although this has been a record-breaking year, there are causes for concern. This summer saw a lot of box office twists that nobody could have expected - for example, Alice Through the Looking Glass earned just $77 million in the US domestic market. This wasn't the only film to perform poorly in the North American box office; Ben-Hur, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, The BFG, and Warcraft all had poor showings.
