Harry Potter cast members/ Dumbledore's Army soldiers Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Katie Leung (Cho Chang), and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) all got together in Orlando, Florida over the weekend as part of a three-day fan event and panel at Universal Studios. According to BuzzFeed, it was the first time they've all gotten together publicly since the last film came out in 2011.

From left to right: Lynch, Grint, Lewis, Leung, and Wright.
Neville kind of looks more like Lupin now.
Evanna Lynch: everyone's favorite, obviously.

Bonnie Wright—who is a film director now, if you needed more proof that Ginny Weasley is awesome—documented more private moments in the trip, including a Weasley family reunion:

But for the fans in attendance, it maybe just served as a reminder of the following:

1. Their own growing age, since anyone who was as old as Harry when book one came out is now thirty;

2. That there will probably never be another Harry Potter book and even spin-offs in movie and play form just aren't the same;

3. Ergo, you can never go home again.

But hey, that Bonnie Wright news is pretty cool! Win a best director Oscar, Ginny Weasley!


How to slack off like a teenager at work without getting fired.

If there's ever been something everyone can agree on, it's that work sucks. The only thing that makes spending all day at a job you hate worth it is the satisfaction of doing a half-assed job. But making sure that you're using exactly half your ass can be tricky. Do too little and you'll be fired, but do too much and someone might think you can be trusted with more responsibility. Here's our foolproof guide to being as terrible an employee as possible without getting canned:

1. Sneak your booze where you can. Stay buzzed all day without getting drunk enough for anyone to notice.

Use one of these. Everyone will just think you're into birds.

How are you supposed to make it through an entire day without a nice healthy buzz? It's an American tradition. But nothing will harsh that buzz quicker than your boss catching you draining a whole bottle of wine. So drink like a spy. Hide your booze, and pace yourself so you don't accidentally start slurring your words. But if you do start slurring, pretend it's because you're so exhausted from putting in long hours. If you commit, they'll believe you.

2. Blame all your screwups on the hapless new guy. When he gets fired, move on to his replacement.

Just because he started yesterday doesn't mean he didn't embezzle four million dollars.

If you've been at your job long enough that anyone has been hired after you, you're basically in the clear. It's time to coast. Every time something asks about some work you didn't do, blame it on that poor sap. Same goes for falling asleep at your post, angering clients, or sexual harassment lawsuits. Who's to say who posted those X-rated cartoons in the bathroom? That sounds like something the terrified intern would do.

3. Whisper your threats.

"I will cut you like a budget."

Let's face it: you're never going to get away with being the truly negligent worker you deserve to be without intimidating people. There will always be some goody two shoes to snitch on you, or give you work to do, or use all the milk for their coffee before you can have your morning White Russian. In those cases, you've got no choice but to scare the shit out of them. Just make sure you do it so nobody who can get you in trouble can hear.

4. When the shit hits the fan, disappear. Like a ghost in the wind.

The crawlspace is a blame-free zone. Not rat-free, unfortunately.

Being a bad employee is all about knowing when to avoid the line of fire. Sit at your desk often enough that people think you spend most of your time there, but when the shit goes down, make sure you're nowhere to be found. It doesn't matter where: hide in the bathroom stall with your feet on the seat, lock yourself in the trunk of your car, or take a long lunch at the struggling Ghanaian restaurant across town. But leave your phone at your desk. That way they can't drag you back.

5. Don't go on strike, you dumb dirty commie.

Shouting into a megaphone looks fun, but it's not worth it.

At first glance, striking seems like a great idea. You're not working, you're outdoors, and your boss hates it. But be forewarned, it'll come back to bite you in the ass. Making a big fuss about your "rights" will only call attention to your "responsibilities," making it that much harder to goof off. And once organized labor has taken over your workplace, you'll basically have twice as many bosses. Good luck hiding in the break room all day after that.

Hair colorist uses famous paintings as her inspiration.

Ursula Goff is a hairstylist based in Kansas, whose Instagram account is full of amazing color work. So many different things are being done these days with bright, unnatural hair colors, it's hard to keep track. Colorists have become more fine art painters than cosmologists. Goff is setting herself apart by creating a style that's inspired by the work of classical painters, like in this dye job that uses the same palette as Edvard Munch's "The Scream."

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAxKPBZDeCD/?taken-by=uggoff

She writes about how she got into this project, and a little about Munch, in the caption:

I often get asked where I went to hair school, and what sort of cosmetology education background I have. The answer is probably disappointing for most people - I went to a community college Cosmo program and have almost no other training outside of that. However, I have done art since I was 5, first developing hand skills as a sketcher, and then expanding those skills into color by working with acrylics, tempera, and especially water colors. I tend to color hair much the same way I color a canvas, using the same sorts of color application techniques and identical color theory. So in honor of my art background being so useful, I thought I'd do a Fine Art series, similar in concept to the Starry Night/hair presentation I recently did. Today, I'm sharing the work of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. His work tends to fall under the Symbolism category, and this is his most well known painting, "The Scream", which has a bit of an unusual color palette, which I think contributes to the emotional discord of the image. I tend to very strongly agree with Munch's art philosophy: "I do not believe in the art which is not the compulsive result of Man's urge to open his heart." Many things I make simply because they are pretty, but my favorite pieces force themselves out of me in surges of emotional energy. Without art, I think I'd be far more dysfunctional, as I would struggle to express myself in other ways.

Here are some of the other hair colorings in the series, all of which are accompanied by thoughtful mini-essays on the artists they're inspired by:

And if you think art is boring, Goff has plenty of other cool ideas about things you can make your hair the same color as:

School sends kids their exam results along with inspiring letter in case their score crushes them.

Students in Northern Ireland recently took the Transfer Test, a standardized test that determines which high schools they can get into. Much like the SATs, the stakes for this test are high. To help quell some of the anxiety and put the numbers into perspective, the staff of Harmony Hill Primary School included a reassuring note along with every student's fate-sealing test scores. It manages to inspire even though it's written in Comic Sans:

https://www.facebook.com/52909225678/photos/a.402596175678.180505.52909225678/10153408393350679/?type=3&theater

The note reads:

Before you open the envelope with your score in it, we want you to read this first.

Inside the envelope is a score. It's a score you've been waiting for but it might not be the score you've been hoping for. If that's the case, it's only natural that you will feel disappointed. We will be very sorry about that and will feel disappointed 'for you' too - but we won't feel disappointed 'in you.' Unfortunately, in life, things don't always work out the way we want them to and it can take a little time to sort out the feelings and thoughts we can have when that happens. We know that each of you has worked very hard and with a great attitude. No score can ever take that away from you. In fact, we believe that your attitude and who you are as a person is much more than any mark on a test. Who you are and the attitudes you have with travel with you whatever school is fortunate is enough to have you as one of their new pupils in September. That is so important. You are quite simply 'unique' and we are very proud of you. Make us proud whatever school you go to. Don't give up easily when the going gets tough. Grow up to be kind, caring, generous, loving adults who make a positive difference to this world by how you live your life.

Remember, the score in the envelope is just a mark for some tests. It cannot measure how amazing you are! So, no matter what happens in the next few minutes, today you must celebrate YOU!

With love from all the staff!

The letter went viral after the Carrickfergus Grammar School Music Society posted it on Facebook. Apparently, the teachers' message that "you are more than your score" resonated with more than just Northern Irish seventh graders.

Those are some great teachers. Like,Dead Poets Society-level.

Oh captain, my captain.

TV station pays tribute to 'Groundhog Day' in way that will make fans of the film very happy.

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day, the quirky holiday where a rodent in Pennsylvania decides our weather for the next six weeks. Hey, it's not any weirder than a bunny who hides eggs. Comedy fans will remember Groundhog Day is also the title of a hilarious Bill Murray movie from 1993. In the film, Murray plays grouchy weatherman Phil Conners who lives the same day over and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, until he gets it right. Ugh, sounds like your office job.

In honor of the holiday, the geniuses at Sky Comedy, a British TV station, are showing Groundhog Day not once, not twice, but 13 times in a row.

https://twitter.com/throrgon/status/693768258802077696

The first showing is tomorrow morning at 6:40 am, and the film will repeat for 24 hours. If you don't live in the UK, but you're dying to feel insane, you can recreate the experience with a DVD or something. Just try not to snap and steal Punxsutawney Phil, OK?

Trump's Walk of Fame Star defaced with swastika, Walt Disney's still clean as a whistle.

$

Over the weekend, someone apparently tried to get even with Donald Trump by scrawling a black swastika on his Hollywood Walk of Fame star. The fact that they drew it backwards, likely on accident, means the graffitist might actually be an intellectual match for Trump himself. 

Meanwhile, Donald's head is still defaced by his hair.

To date, Trump has asked for a ban on all Muslims traveling to the U.S. and called Latino immigrants"criminals" and "rapists." His rhetoric has resulted in comparisons to Hitler before, including one by Anne Frank's stepsister, Eva Schloss, just last week. Hollywood historians might note several other industry legends that deserve their own swastika-updated star, including John Wayne, who once told Playboy, "I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility." Or Walt Disney, oft-rumored to hold racist views.

But an actor named Austin Franklin, likely delighted to take a break from his day walking Hollywood Boulevard in a Batman costume, told the Wrap: "I've never seen this kind of hate put on a star before, not even Bill Cosby."

As the Iowa caucuses begin tonight, Trump hopes to validate his inspirational campaign theme that everyone is a loser but him. 

A working mom reaches out to the awe-inspiring woman with 'crazy blonde curly hair' she's watched anonymously for 10 years.

Up until recently, Rachaele Hambleton of Devon, England was a full-time working mother. But Hambleton decided to cut back her hours after 10 years of watching the same woman walk her kids—and dog—to school. In a post to a Facebook group called Spotted Torquay, Hambleton—and others—wrote how this "beautiful lady with crazy blonde curly hair" has unknowingly altered Hambleton's outlook on life.

https://www.facebook.com/spottedtorquay/posts/753750134758500?fref=nf

I used to be a full time working mum.

Every morning for the past 10 years I've driven from Torquay over the Shaldon bridge on my way to work...and most days I've driven past a beautiful lady with crazy blonde curly hair...she started out 10 years ago walking her eldest baby to the primary school with her younger ones carried on her chest and in double buggies whilst walking beautiful puppy retriever. 
Every morning I would watch her and be in awe at how organised she was, how she could possibly manage & how happy her babies looked. I would then continue the rest of my journey to work with a lump in my throat that someone else was doing all of those things with my babies because I felt I should be at work.

This lady made me realise that actually I should work a little less, and learn to manage a little more...

So as I drove past you this morning and I saw you kissing your daughter on the forehead who once I saw as a tiny baby and is now a little lady...and your dog was walking at a much slower pace beside you now he's so much older and I imagine all your other children have now grown up and go to secondary school and walk themselves to school...I just wanted to post on here, in the hope somehow it will reach you, to say thank you...because of you I have now reduced my working hours...so I can spend some mornings at home doing the crazy school runs with all my babies, i make sure I go and fight back tears watching all their school plays & bake (mainly inedible) cakes for the fetes...and I love all of it!

It's amazing that seeing a 30 second glimpse of someone else's life once a day can make yours so much more enjoyable xx

The 33-year-old Hambleton has set off a chain of admiration for the mysterious woman.

Facebook commenters identified the mysterious woman as Naomi and acknowledged that they too have been noticing her for years. "I've been watching Naomi for 4 years wondering how she remains so organised...an inspirational mum," Sarah Brooks wrote on Hambleton's post. Rebbecca Woodger said, "Seeing this lady and her family come around the corner onto the bridge always makes me smile. It's been lovely seeing the children grow up."

After all this attention, Naomi spoke out and messaged Hambleton

Hello, I'm the lady with the crazy blonde hair!! My goodness....what a truly beautiful post, I feel very honoured to have made a difference to your life without even knowing it.

We don't do any kind of social media but through other people I have come to know about your post....my phone has been going mad!!!

I'm absolutely AMAZED that you have noticed me for such a long time and noticed the changes in my family, I've been walking Shaldon bridge since 2003 along with Boris the dog who's now 11 and finding it a struggle, I have had five children go to the school (my younger 3 are still there) and your right my elder two walk themselves to TCS.

I feel incredibly honoured (along with embarrassed) to be mentioned in such a post for simply walking my children to school along with what has felt like over the years being a parent machine!!!

That short walk across Shaldon bridge is my little bit of therapy and how blessed we all are to live in such a beautiful part of the world! I am taking the credit for SO many other parents who do exactly the same as me so for all the other parents, that post was for you too!!! 

I know that everyone's life is different and sometimes life doesn't enable us all to spend the time with our children that we wish but I believe being there for those simple day to day moments creates long lasting memories for all!

Naomi's modesty, poignancy, and lack of being thoroughly creeped out prove she seriously deserves all the admiration.

The best things on Instagram are cute puppies, unflattering pics of your high school frenemies, and celebs sharing photos of their ridiculously cute kids. Yesterday, Jessica Simpson posted a selfie with her adorable look-alike daughter Maxwell doing the duckface. It's pretty cute, but can we all just agree that children and ducks are the only ones who should be posing like this anymore?

On Thursday, a teenager named Dominic Licciardi posted a video of his mother listening to Nicki Minaj's "Only" for the first time. Her reaction is hilarious to many, which is reflected by how quickly she went viral. The short clip has already been re-tweeted over 6,000 times. She basically shuts the whole thing down after hearing the lyrics:

Yo, I never fucked Wayne, I never fucked Drake/ On my life, man, fuck’s sake/ If I did I’d Minaj wid’ him and let ‘em eat my ass like a cupcake

Yelling "no no no" at Nicki Minaj when she's not in the room can be pretty funny:

And Licciardi's mom doesn't seem bothered by viral fame at all:

Dominic explained to BuzzFeed that she was just shocked by the lyrics. Is it that much like Kanye West, Licciardi's mom is not imaginative enough to experiment with butt stuff? Or is she mad that Nicki Minaj hasn't fucked Wayne and Drake? Oh well. More Minaj for everyone else.

5. Blac Chyna, because she was arrested for being a mess at the airport.

At least she wasn't arrested in this outfit.

Poor Blac Chyna. It seems like just yesterday that the formerly obscure model became a household name by allying herself to Rob Kardashian and thus making enemies of the rest of the family. Now, she's already having her first major public meltdown—the celebrity equivalent of a Bat Mitzvah. Today, she is a star.

TMZ reports that Chyna was removed from a plane and arrested at Austin International Airport on Friday, after getting drunk and calling a flight attendant a "nasty ass bitch." She was found to be in possession of drugs and led away in handcuffs, crying. It's a sad story, but at least she looked good in her mug shot.

https://twitter.com/TheShadeRoom/status/693312001938952192

There's a reason that face is sowing discord in the world's most powerful family.

4. Brad and Angelina, because somebody peed on their house.

They're so sexy. Don't pretend you haven't thought about peeing on their house.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are deeply committed to charitable causes around the world, but there's a limit to their compassion. When it comes to the plight of the homeless looking for mansions to pee on in Hollywood, they have no sympathy.

Last week, the celebrity couple's security guards spotted somebody lurking in the bushes outside their Hollywood Hills home, so they called the cops. When the cops confronted the man, they realized he was no stalker out to snap photos of one of Brangelina's 80 children—he was just a poor homeless guy looking for a place to wiz. He was quickly released.

Although it's easy to focus on the struggles of this unfortunate man who's fallen through the cracks of society, don't forget about the toll this incident must take on Pitt and Jolie themselves. Their home is their temple, and now it is forever tainted by the spectre of a stranger's fluids. They may even lose the will to adopt any more children, which would make the whole world poorer. All for a piddle.

3. A cop who was mistaken for a stripper and mobbed by middle-aged ladies.

Even the most professional police officer can't be expected to stand his or her ground when attacked by a room full of ravenous cougars. So everyone should take it easy on Police Community Support Officer Mike Ober, from Bradford-on-Avon in the UK.

This is not Mike Ober. Mike Ober may be this sexy, but always keeps his uniform buttoned while on duty.

PCSO Ober was making his rounds on Saturday when he heard a commotion from a social club. Noticing the door was open, he peeked in, only to realize he was stepping into a scene from a very tame porno. He told the BBC:

But as I went in there were loud cheers and someone shouted: "Oh, are you the stripogram?"

It turned out the club was hosting a 50th birthday party, and the crowd of middle-aged women had mistaken Ober (who is in his mid-20s and engaged) for the exotic dancer they had hired. The baffled cop was informed he was early, and used that as an excuse to "beat a hasty retreat" before the women could tear his uniform off in a frenzy of menopausal lust.

He passed the real stripper on his way out. Reports don't specify, but it's nice to imagine they gave each other a little nod, as a gesture of mutual respect between two heroes.

2. Chris Brown, because his baby mama says he gave their baby asthma with his weed.

If there really is no such thing as bad publicity, then Chris Brown is doing great. For such a successful musician with so many devoted fans, he's really never in the news for a good reason.

This time, the man who became famous for beating up Rihanna is having yet another dispute with his baby mama, Nia Guzman. Guzman went public over the weekend with claims that their one-year-old daughter Royalty has developed asthma due to extended exposure to secondhand weed and tobacco smoke while in Brown's custody.

It doesn't help his case that he always looks incredibly stoned.

She told a judge that the baby always reeks of smoke when Brown returns her, and is asking for his visitation rights to be restricted. She also wants him to agree not to drink or smoke around the baby, and to submit to random drug tests. And, as a side note, she wants her child support increased from $2,500/month to almost $16,000.

It's this last request that has Brown firing back. In an Instagram post that has since been deleted, he claimed that Guzman is just smearing his (already pretty muddy) name as a ploy for money, adding: "I quit cigarettes on New Years. NO ONE smokes around my daughter."

Although the child support request is pretty steep, this dispute still comes down to a basic he-said-she-said. And considering that he's Chris Brown, and there's a kid involved, he'd better get out his checkbook.

1. A guy who was arrested while wearing an unfortunately accurate t-shirt.

If you're tired of hearing about celebrities crashing and burning, here's a refreshing change of pace: a non-celebrity doing it. In Baden, PA, Michael Emrick led police on a 15-minute chase in a stolen truck last Tuesday after being accused of retail theft. The chase involved a cop being thrown to the ground, and only ended when Emrick crashed his vehicle into a shed in a stranger's yard.

Once arrested, he was found to be in possession of heroin needles and other drug paraphernalia. All in all, he made an astonishing number of bad decisions in a very short span of time, which made the t-shirt he was wearing at the time seem even more ironic:

Even the shirt was a bad decision.

The shirt read: "Really good at making really bad decisions." You almost can't be mad at the guy after seeing that. Until you remember he attacked a cop. Emrick was charged with aggravated assault and a number of other misdemeanors and felonies. But the one thing nobody can accuse him of is not being self-aware.

Best friends achieve childhood dream of dressing up as one man to sneak into the movies.

Gather round, grown-ups, and hear the tale of Bo Johnson and his friend Matthew, who overcame adulthood to achieve every child's ultimate squad goal: dressing up multiple kids as an adult and sneaking into the movies. Granted, these guys are now too big to sit on each other's shoulders and don a trench coat. Fortunately, America's obesity crisis provided an alternate solution: be a really fat guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZaSnGwD2qM

Perhaps even more amusing than their end result is the methodical way they in which they try to figure out how to disguise themselves. At first, Matthew walks behind Bo, turning the "man" into a hunchback, before they finally settle on how to attach Matthew to Bo (who clearly doesn't skip leg day) as a giant gut. The actual infiltration is much more tense than you'd guess—that old childhood excitement of sneaking in someplace never really goes away.

Sarah Palin denies blaming Obama for her son's PTSD even though her words disagree.

In an interview on the Today show Monday morning, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin denied blaming Obama for her son Track's post traumatic stress disorder, proving that her memory is about as bad as her political prowess.

Seeming annoyed during the interview when she was asked about the statements she made after her son was arrested on domestic-violence charges, Palin said, "I never blamed President Obama. What did I say that is offensive? I don't regret any comment that I made because I didn't lay PTSD at the foot of the president."  

To refresh your (and her) memory, here is exactly what Palin said that day at the Donald Trump rally in Oklahoma: “It starts from the top … the question, though, that comes from our own president where they have to look at him and wonder, ‘Do you know what we go through? Do you know what we’re trying to do to secure America and to secure the freedoms that have been bequeathed us?’” She went on: “It makes me realize more than ever, it is now or never for the sake of America’s finest that we’ll have that commander-in-chief who will respect them and honor them." Hmmm. Not to be all "Gotcha!" but it sounds a lot like she's blaming President Obama for her son's PTSD.

After the topic was broached on the Today show, Palin accused hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie of breaking a promise by bringing it up. The former Alaska governor said they'd invited her on the show to talk about politics and not about her kids. Lauer disagreed that the comments she made (in which she definitely connected President Obama to her son's PTSD)were off-limits, however, saying "there were no specific promises made about the content of the interview." 

While Palin maintains that she didn't blame the president for her son's issues, she did say that she thinks that Obama could do a lot more to prove that he respects troops. Specifically, "this level of disrespect for the United States military that is made manifest in getting budgets. In not trying to beef it up and let our military do the job that they are trying to do." Ohhh, okay. So, if the military just had more money, soldiers would not come home with PTSD, because, wait. No, that still doesn't make any sense. Oh, Sarah. You go on with your zany self.

Instead of letting it slide, Keogh penned a message for the guy and unnecessarily explained herself.

Dear Brave Man

I got your message. The one where you pointed out that if I missed my 4 year old girl so much while I'm in work, then I should just give up my job. Or quit posting pictures of her, at the very least. How had I not thought of that? So helpful.

I work for many reasons. I like my job. It's really important to me. Not saving lives important, I get that, but it's important to me. I enjoy it. It makes me happy & content. And as a result a better Mom.

I work Monday to Friday. That's 5 days where my child goes to preschool & crèche. The icing on the cake —I miss bed time most nights. Do you know how many people point that out to me? Too many. My husband leaves the house at 5 every morning. He misses 'wake up time' every day. Guess how many people point that out to him? You got it! None.​

Do I feel guilty? Every day. Sometimes 10 times a day. Do I want time to stand still at weekends? Of course I do. But I work to provide a better future for my daughter. So when she's 16 & wants to go on the school ski trip I can say yes. Of course I fear she'll turn around & say she would have preferred it if I'd been at home with her all of the time but I'm hedging my bets. She'll pick the ski trip, right? RIGHT???

At the minute my baby wants to be a 'flower lady' when she's big, not sure if this means selling flowers or just wearing them. I don't care. I don't have a career to show her she can have one too. She can do what she pleases. And I guess that's why I do it. I want to show her that she can make choices. I want her to be confident enough to make the right ones for her. I want her to choose happiness."

And when I addressed you earlier as 'Brave Man' what I actually meant to say was 'Tosser'.

Keogh was met with a round of support:

And Keogh's daughter had a reaction as well, surprised about the attention her mom was getting:

Well, she's either surprised or nervous about her ski trip coming up in 12 years.

Dakota Johnson, Leslie Mann shamelessly hit on male reporter in interview gone horribly right.

Many female celebrities rebel against sexist movie interview questions, but actresses Dakota Johnson and Leslie Mann may start a new trend entirely after flat-out hitting on hunky reporter Chris Van Vliet from Miami's WCVN network. Not that the male interviewer seemed to mind as two movie stars asked him to unbutton his shirt. Now, if everyone in the room could please leave the three of them alone?

The women are promoting their movie, "How to Be Single," which will likely receive less viewers than the above clip (the last movie produced by Drew Barrymore was called "Animal," ever heard of it?). One guy who certainly won't have to buy a ticket is Vliet. Seems like he'll go as Johnson's special guest.
