Was dumbledores sister a Obscurus?
Albus Dumbledore's Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had younger siblings called Ariana and Aberforth Dumbledore. Ariana stopped using or letting out her magic due to an incident with some muggle boys when she was 6 years old, this traumatised her from ever using her magic. It is understood that the boys saw Ariana using her magic through the bushes in the garden, the muggle boys attacked Ariana when she couldn't show them how to do the "trick". This attack eventually led to their father (Percival Dumbledore) revenging himself on the muggle boys concerned. This led to Percival's imprisonment in Azkaban for the crime, although it is not entirely clear what Percival Dumbledore did to the muggle boys. Aberforth asserts that Percival attacked the muggles whereas Muriel (Ronald Weasley’s aunt) suggests that he killed the boys.

The Sound of Music; Forever Loved!
Who doesn't love The Sound of Music?! It's my all time favourite film, and I will happily watch and thoroughly enjoy watching it every year, usually at Christmas. In fact my Christmas is never complete without a viewing of my favourite film! The hills are alive with the sound of music, well, my living room certainly!!

Movie Review: 'Hamilton' Arrives on Disney Plus
I have a confession to make, I am incredibly jealous of those who get to see first run Broadway shows. Whether it is because I hate to hear of an arts conversation that I cannot be part of, or because I am jealous of the reactions of my peers who do get that first hand experience, I have, in the past, and in an immature fashion, slagged off Broadway presentations as if they weren’t important cultural moments. It was purely spiteful and I own that.

Creating My Playlist: Inspired by Hulu’s High Fidelity
Like many, during these months in Covid-19, I have been binge-watching many shows (although let’s be real, that was my life before the pandemic). Back in early March, I watched Hulu’s High Fidelity. In this series, main character Rob (played by Zoe Kravitz) owns a record store and obsesses over music. Along with having an encyclopedic knowledge of pretty much any music genre, Rob likes to make playlists. She believes that each playlist has to tell a story through the music.

A Definitive Ranking of Star Wars Content.
The Star Wars universe is expansive and rather large but with Disney Plus it's now easier than ever to watch all of that content. This list is my personal opinion, I understand that people may not agree with these assessement, but everyone's opinion is valid. Unless you think The Phantom Menace is the best film then you had better leave just now.

Netflix vs. Movie Theaters
Being entertained is something people look forward to daily. Many businesspeople noticed so they took the initiative to satisfy the audience by creating entertainment services. Netflix and movie theatres are two resources people use for enjoyment. Netflix is a streaming service where people watch content such as movies and television shows. The business has expanded since it first came out in 1997. Initially, it was rent by mail company and was only available in America. A movie theatre is a place that is open to the public where you can sit back, relax, and watch a movie. They have been here for over a century. John P. Harris and Harry Davis were the first people to open the common type of movie theatre in 1905. From Netflix to movie theatres, both entertainment outlets have differences in availability, cost, and recreation that are beneficial to audiences.

6 Reasons Why Drive-In Movies Need to Make A Comeback
Drive-in movies may still exist, but they are nowhere near as booming as they were back in "the good ole' days." But they should be, because there's actually a lot of things you can do at a drive-in movie, that you can't do at a regular movie theater.

Hello Cabaret
‘Hello Cabaret returned to Sophia Gardens on Sunday night for the third year running, performing their cabaret in the park, closing the first weekend of the Everyman Open Air Theatre Festival (on until the 3rd August). The show promises ‘popular show tunes, spellbinding stories and hidden gems performed under the stars’, and for the most part, does not disappoint. There is something magical about twilight in summer, watching the sun go down whilst talented performers entertain an audience should be a staple in everyone’s diaries, and this show, if you are a fan of any musical theatre, is the one for you.
