Personality Quiz: Which ‘Harry Potter’ Villain Are You?

Most personality quizzes are fairly even-handed affairs. You could be one sort of a thing in a list (Beatle, emotion, root vegetable) or you could be another, and they’re all roughly the same.

This quiz is not like that. It’s more like walking into a roomful of mousetraps, one of which is connected to a thermonuclear warhead.

By which I mean, there is one Harry Potter villain in this quiz that is worse than all the others, and you may need to consider some kind of hex to prevent finding out that you were secretly him all along.

Wands at the ready? Let’s play:

Emma Watson: ‘Harry Potter’ Actress Turns 25 – Happy Birthday

We don’t know the spell to summon a cake, so let us just play it safe and say Happy Birthday! Emma Watson turns 25-years-old on April 15, 2015. In just a quarter of-a-century, Emma has accomplished more than most get done in a lifetime. Let’s help honor Emma’s special day by taking a look back at her amazing year!

Emma Watson’s Birthday: ‘Harry Potter’ Star & Activist Turns 25

Wow! Over the last twelve months, Emma has done a lot of good while looking good!

She kicked off her fashionable year with a stunning appearance on the cover of the April 2014 Elle Australia issue. Emma sported a sleek retro look, invoking 1950’s glamour on this modern day starlet.

While Emma isn’t technically royalty, she’s came pretty close — literally! — when she joined Prince William and Kate Middleton for dinner at Windsor Castle in May 2014.

If there’s one thing that could top dinner with the British Monarchy, it had to be this: graduating from Brown University! Emma completed her degree in English Literature on May 25, 2014. Congratulations to Emma!

While at the July 2014 Dior fashion show in Paris, Emma looked fierce, as usual. Suddenly, her friend Jennifer Lawrence came up and face-palmed her! Was it good fun or bad taste? Either way, these two seemed to get a laugh out of it.

Arguably Emma’s biggest moment of 2014 came in September. Emma was appointed a U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador. She then delivered an intense speech on ending gender inequality throughout the world. Along with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Emma helped launch the HeForShe campaign with the goal of including more boys and men in the fight for equality.

Emma also campaigned for HeForShe at the 2015 World Economic Forum on January 23, 2015. Emma reported the positive initial response to the program, before stressing the need for additional efforts to end gender inequality, once and for all.

Emma’s HeForShe work reportedly led to an interesting event in her love-life. While she was being honored for her humanitarian efforts at the British Fashion Awards in December 2014, Emma seemed a bit star-struck by the award’s presenter, Harry Styles. Fans nearly exploded at the thought of these two adorable Brits dating. Their wish was granted, because Emma and Harry allegedly went on a secret date later that month.

While Emma and Harry ultimately didn’t work out, she reportedly went from British Music Royalty to actual British Royalty, as she and Prince Harry were reportedly dating. Emma went on to dispel these reports, saying that she doesn’t need a Prince in order to be a Princess.

2015 holds a lot of potential for Emma. In addition to her ongoing humanitarian work, she’s starring in two movies set for release this year: Colonia and Regression. Emma’s role in Regression is a drastic step away from the Harry Potter world, as she plays a girl who has been sexually abused by her father.

Still, there’s some fantasy in Emma’s professional life. She will play the role of Belle in the live-action remake of Disney’s Beauty & The Beast!

Join us in wishing Emma Watson a Happy Birthday, HollywoodLifers! Leave your birthday wishes below!

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Teaser

Director Zack Snyder released a teaser for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice through his Twitter, and simultaneously confirmed earlier reports that special IMAX screenings of the full trailer are being held on April 20th. The video is 21-seconds long, the majority of which are logos, and features Superman and Batman’s suits without actors Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck in them.

While the teaser is the first official footage of Batman’s suit (and presumably the Batcave), the shot of Superman’s suit is merely a recycled shot from the scene in Man of Steel where Clark meets Jor-El. I rewatched that scene to confirm that, but another dead giveaway is the fact that the “S” emblem on the chest doesn’t have the extra lines in the middle that the new version of the suit does — which coincides with the more textured Batman v Superman logo — or the extra blue layer/border underneath the House of El emblem. Below the tweet, I’ve included a side-by-side comparison of the old suit featured in the teaser and the new suit so you can see those differences for yourself. Below that we’ve included screencaps from the teaser.

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Movie: ‘Harry Potter’ Star Daniel Radcliffe Said To Be Negotiating For A Role

Daniel Radcliffe, the actor famous for playing the protagonist in the “Harry Potter” movies, is reportedly negotiating to play a role in the upcoming movie “Grand Theft Auto.” The movie is said to be based on the life of the creator of the video game series and his fight against a Miami lawyer, who wanted to ban violence in games.

“Grand Theft Auto” movie is slated to be released in 2016. According to HollywoodReporter Daniel Radcliffe is negotiating with the producers to be a cast member in the movie. The actor is said to be looking to play the role of Sam Houser, the president of Rockstar Games.

Rockstar Games is the company that developed the “Grand Theft Auto” game series. The company has also developed other popular games such as “Max Payne,” “L.A. Noire,” “Red Dead Redemption” and “Midnight Club Los Angeles.”

Sam Houser is said to be the man who helped make “Grand Theft Auto” one of the most popular names in the gaming industry. The report points out that although the franchise is considered one of the world’ biggest, it had done so while increasing the “violence quotient” in the games.

Opposing the violence in the gaming industry is the Florida based activist attorney Jack Thompson, who according to the report was disbarred in 2008 for “inappropriate behaviour.” On his website, Thompson asks pertinent questions like how much adult content is there in video games these days and whether the current system of rating prevents children from playing such games.

The role of Jack Thompson has apparently not been cast yet. Daniel Radcliffe may be the first cast member of the movie, if the news is confirmed. The actor has been taking on varied roles since his “Harry Potter” movies. He has been a part of movies like “Robot Chicken,” “Horns” and will be seen next in the 2015 movie “Victor Frankenstein.”

Filming of “Grand Theft Auto” movie will begin on April 20, according to the report. The movie will be directed by Owen Harris, who has directed TV shows like “Secret Diary of a Call Girl” and “Misfits.” He has also directed the 2015 movie “Kill Your Friends.” This may be the first time that the director could get to work with Daniel Radcliffe.

This time it’s about a supposed sex scene

J.K. Rowling shut down a rumor on Monday that she wanted Harry Potter to lose his virginity in the book, The Goblet of Fire.

A Twitter user posted a suggestion that Rowling had planned on adding in a sex scene in the second part of the book, but left it out after an editor complained it would bother parents. Rowling responded that she never wrote the scene, calling it “a load of cobblers.”

It’s not the first time Rowling has responded to rumors from readers. Rowling is very active on social media, frequently answering her fans questions and making announcements about her future work.
