It’s hard to believe that twenty years ago, the very first Harry Potter book was released. Such as the case for many of my friends the, books and the subsequent movies meant a great deal to me. I have read the entire series twice, and I have been thinking lately, it might be time for a third reading! Here are some fun fan art images to celebrate the day! (Yes, they are Hermione heavy… she is my favorite). 
Take a moment to watch this short film, which profiles the fall of a town in Upstate New York, after their main factory closed in 2004. It is haunting and beautiful and sad.

I have been very underwhelmed (that’s putting it nicely) with the new D.C. reboots. I even opted not to see Suicide Squad, to avoid the disappointment that I knew would ensue. However, today, I am very excited to see Wonder Woman! The reviews (from friends and professionals alike) are great and its terribly hot, making me not guilty about sitting inside an overly air-conditioned building! Thanks to the Poster Posse for this great round up (I’m sure a lasso of truth was used) of these WW posters/fan art/old school WW!
