HBO’s Confirmed Harry Potter Book 1 Change Sets Up A Better Ending

On-set pictures and comments from the actors in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series suggest the show will add details and storylines not found in the original books. A major change is that the story won’t be told solely from Harry’s perspective, allowing the show to explore events through the eyes of other characters.

Soft Power

According to Melling, the film Pillion is truly unique. Director Harry Lighton updated the story from the 1970s to the present day, casting the imposing Alexander Skarsgård as Ray, a handsome but emotionally unavailable biker, and Melling as the quiet, unassuming parking attendant who becomes involved with him. This erotic comedy-drama—which some are calling a “dom-com”—marks Lighton’s first feature film, following a series of successful short films (Melling had previously enjoyed Lighton’s Wren Boys). Pillion was picked up by A24 in October 2024 and generated buzz at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, winning both a screenplay award and a Palm Dog Award for its canine actors. The film gained considerable recognition during awards season this fall and winter, earning three BAFTA nominations (currently under consideration) and several accolades from independent film groups and critics’ associations. Now, Pillion is finally being released widely across America.

Dafne Keen’s 8-Episode Sci-Fi Series Deserved Better

Looking back, the bold choices made in The Acolyte seem less like mistakes and more like daring attempts to try something new, completely changing how we view the series. Released on Disney+ in 2024, the show takes place near the end of the High Republic era, about a hundred years before the events of the Skywalker saga. It serves as both a prequel, filling in backstory, and an expansion of the Star Wars universe, showing a broader picture of the Jedi’s power and the growing tension across the galaxy.

Shiba Inu’s 3% Gamble: Breakout or Bust?

On the daily SHIB/USDT chart, the coin hovers near $0.00000626, while the 20-day simple moving average, that ever-fickle compass, looms at $0.00000635. A triumphant close above this line would rekindle its presence in the upper echelons of the bands-a realm it vacated this week after a 3.23% exodus into the abyss.

16 Years Later, Marvel Anime Is Still the Most Underrated Anime of the 2010s
