Will HBO’s Harry Potter Reboot Finally Do Voldemort Justice?

Harry Potter fans debate Voldemort’s new look in HBO’s reboot—will he finally match the book’s eerie description

Will HBO’s Harry Potter reboot finally give us the ‘real’ Voldemort? Fans weigh in on the dark lord’s new look!

With HBO’s Harry Potter reboot on the horizon, one question looms over the fandom and that is how will Voldemort look this time around?

The original film series, starring Ralph Fiennes as the menacing Dark Lord, surely left a lasting impression. But some book purists argue that his on-screen appearance didn’t fully match J.K. Rowling’s descriptions. Now, as Warner Bros. gears up for a fresh adaptation, fans are split on whether the new series should stay more accurate to the books.

CEO Namit Malhotra calls 'Dune: Part Two' Oscar win a validation for DNEG

MUMBAI-based visual effects company DNEG played a key role in the VFX for Dune: Part Two, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects this year. CEO Namit Malhotra sees this as further proof of India’s expanding presence in the global VFX industry.

“The country that does most of the visual effects, more than any other country, is India. There are more Indians working (on VFX) in any major Hollywood film than there are in Indian films. That is a unique reality we are already in,” Malhotra told PTI on Monday after the Oscar winners were announced in Los Angeles.

George and Amal Clooney’s marriage in trouble? Reports of trial separation spark speculation

Rumours are swirling that George and Amal Clooney’s marriage may be facing a significant test as the couple navigates a long-distance relationship due to their demanding careers. According to reports, the pair, who married in 2014 and are parents to seven-year-old twins, are currently living thousands of miles apart, sparking speculation about a potential trial separation.

George, 63, has recently shifted his focus from Hollywood to Broadway, preparing for his debut in a stage adaptation of Good Night and Good Luck in New York City. Meanwhile, Amal, 47, a renowned human rights lawyer, has taken a prestigious position at Oxford University in the UK, where she has moved with their children. While Amal is reportedly proud of George’s career move, the physical distance between them has reportedly strained their relationship. An insider shared, “Being apart for so long hasn’t been easy. They’ve been drifting due to the irregular hours and time zones.”

Netflix's 'Gone Girls' uncovers shocking new details in the Long Island serial killer case​

Netflix is diving back into one of America’s most chilling unsolved mysteries, the Long Island Serial Killer case. The upcoming three-part documentary series, premiering on March 31, 2025, revisits the decades-long hunt for a murderer who preyed on women and evaded justice for years.

The case first came to light in 2010 when authorities searching for a missing woman, Shannan Gilbert, stumbled upon four bodies along Long Island’s Gilgo Beach. Over the next few months, more remains were discovered, bringing the total number of victims linked to the case to at least eleven. Many of the victims were sex workers from the New York City area, sparking fears that a predator was specifically targeting them.

For over a decade, the investigation went cold. Despite the gruesome discoveries, law enforcement struggled to identify the killer. The breakthrough came in 2023 when authorities arrested 59-year-old architect Rex Andrew Heuermann. By 2024, he had been charged with multiple counts of murder, though he pleaded not guilty. His arrest marked a turning point in the case, offering some closure to families who had waited years for answers.

The Netflix series, directed by Liz Garbus known for the 2020 film Lost Girls, which dramatised the case takes an in-depth look at the investigation, the social stigma surrounding the victims, and how law enforcement handled the case. Through interviews with journalists, detectives, and people connected to both the victims and the accused, the documentary pieces together the long, frustrating search for justice.

Beyond just retelling the facts, the series highlights the systemic issues at play and how certain victims don’t receive the same urgency or attention, and how that impacts justice. It also raises tough questions about policing, media bias, and society’s treatment of marginalised women.

With new evidence and first-hand accounts, Netflix’s latest deep dive into true crime aims to shed fresh light on a case that haunted Long Island for years. Whether it will bring any new revelations remains to be seen, but for many, the hope is that revisiting the past will finally bring some long-overdue justice.
