Harry Potter

The clever pup instantly responds to owner's "spells" in hilarious video.

In honor of the 15th anniversary of ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,’ we ranked the very best characters of the wizarding world.

Warner Bros. purchased the rights to the Harry Potter movies in 1999 for $2 million. That may sound like a lot, but here’s the part where we remind you that the Harry Potter movies have made over $10 BILLION at the box-office, which is a pretty good return on investment. That’s just one of the facts packed into the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies, which takes you behind the scenes of the first film in the Harry Potter movies!

Yesterday was Harry Potter's birthday. (We are *so* embarrassed that we forgot.) To celebrate, 'This is the End' star Simon Pegg got dressed up as Ron Weasley and showed up on Jimmy Fallon's show to wish him a happy birthday.

Like many Harry Potter fans, we are convinced that our Hogwarts acceptance letter was hidden away by cruel parents on our 11th birthday, or else it somehow got lost in owl-post. Either way, we've been cruelly denied the opportunity to stroll the famous, cobbled street in order to shop for magical school supplies.

We'd like to take a moment to give sweet, sweet thanks to our girl J.K. Rowling for introducing us to the coolest wizard of all time-- Harry Potter. Why? Because he rules. Remember how Harry fought off Lord Voldemort and had an awesome pet owl? It's impressive stuff.

If you're a fan of J.K. Rowling's hit 'Harry Potter' series, you must have longed for your own invisibility cloak so that you could go off on your own magical adventures just like Harry himself. But invisibility cloaks are merely fictional, right? Wrong!

You might think you have the greatest pet in the world, but that's probably because you don't watch much TV. Instead of a cat that secretly hates you, fictional pets can be dragons or loyal household animals who stick by your side as you step out into the great unknown, rather than eating the contents of your bathroom trashcan the second you're out the door.

Ever since the whole 'Harry Potter' franchise came into existence, our lives have become infinitely better. For starters, our cats now have adorable costumes to wear and we've learned tons of awesome spells. But there's one thing 'Harry Potter' has given us that undoubtedly reigns supreme in our books: Quidditch.

If you're missing 'Harry Potter' and are desperately in need of a good Potter fix, then J.K. Rowling has some good news for you. In a recent interview with BBC News, she admitted that she'd written many of the 'Potter' novels on the run and is sorely tempted to expand upon the universe by writing a "director's cut." While that's not a direct "yes, I am writing a new Potter book,&quo

If you love 'Harry Potter,' you just might be happier than a Muggle with a new wand after you go through this list. What better way to indulge your Potter fantasies than by visiting some of the actual places made famous by the films? Check out these spots and start planning your Harry Potter adventure today!

If you want to inconspicuously exact some revenge on somebody, just do a Google search for Emma Watson on their computer. According to new data, her name is presently associated with the most malicious websites of anybody on the internet.

In a move destined to make you wish that J.K. Rowling was your mom, the author of the 'Harry Potter' series recently won permission to build two massive 40-foot high tree houses in her backyard at a cost of almost $395,000.

Esteemed thespian and movie icon Alan Rickman has played a lot of villains. Being such an evil presence requires a heavy hand in just about everything he does, including some of the most mundane activities. He could make playing with a litter of happy puppies seem like the most sinister thing a man can do. He brings that same gravitas to this series of artistic slow-motion videos.

One day Quidditch may be part of the Summer Olympics. But for now the sport J.K. Rowling invented in her 'Harry Potter' books will settle on holding its latest tournament in close proximity to the Games of the XXX Olympiad, which will take place in London later this month.
