Anybody of a certain age will remember binge-watching the eight Harry Potter movies – but fans are still discovering Easter eggs in the films. One of those is something the producers slipped into the iconic Warner Bros opening credits, and it’s glaringly obvious once you’ve noticed it. With each new movie, it turns out the Warner Bros logo becomes darker and darker, until, by the last film, it is a threatening, inky black. The changes reflect the tone of the stories with each instalment. The first one, Harry Potter and the Philosoper’s Stone, is a family-friendly classic. It’s certainly a far cry from the spooky – and sometimes downright terrifying – final films, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts one and two. In the opening credits to the final movie, even the metallic Warner Bros logo is growing rusty, and the material is starting to peel off. @fredthedeadtwin The movies were getting darker too #drafts #greenscreen #hpmovies #harrypotter #sorcerersstone #deathlyhallows #hogwarts #hptiktok #GenshinImpact32 #foryoupage #fyp As the evil wizard Voldemort grew stronger with each film, the wizarding world got more dangerous, and Daniel Radcliffe’s character’s plight became more and more dangerous. Viewers couldn’t escape the fact that, for young Potter fans, it somehow reflected how life gets more serious as we get older. One person wrote on social media: “It's like my life. First years are the best, but the older I get, the darker life gets.” Another person said: “Did they forget that it’s a children’s movie?” A third person demanded answers. They said: “There needs to be more info about this. Was this planned? It starts getting dark literally on the second WB sign.” And a fourth, slightly happier, commenter, added: “This just made me so happy I need to go on another Harry Potter marathon.” Each to their own, it seems.

As CeeCee Smith came up in gaming — both as a gamer and industry professional — she found a community in the women-centric PMS Clan that helped her realize two things: that there were career paths in the industry for people like her (avid fans with no art or coding skills), and that there was space for women to love and excel at first-person shooter games like Halo and Call of Duty, which were rising in popularity at the time. “[Video games] are all about that challenge to complete objectives,” she said during Thursday’s Refinery29 Twitch stream. “It was about being transported to different worlds, and from that, you constantly want to be doing better than last time … That’s kind of where [my passion] started in my soul.”

Harry Maguire’s mother has criticised the “disgraceful” abuse her son has been subjected to which she claims goes far beyond football. The under-fire Manchester United defender dismissed the reception he received at Hampden Park during England’s 3-1 friendly win over Scotland but manager Gareth Southgate said it was “ridiculous” and “a joke”. Now Maguire’s mum Zoe Maguire-Wilkinson has waded in. “As a mum seeing the level of negative and abusive comments in which my son is receiving from some fans, pundits and the media is disgraceful and totally unacceptable to any walk of life never mind someone who works his socks off for club and country,” she wrote on Instagram. “I was there in the stand as usual, it’s not acceptable what’s been created, over nothing. I understand that in the football world there are ups and downs, positives and negatives but what Harry receives has gone far beyond ‘football’. “For me seeing him go through what he’s going through is not OK. I would hate to have to see any other parents or players go through this in the future, especially the young boys and girls breaking through the ranks today. “Harry has a massive heart and it’s a good job he’s mentally strong and can handle it as others may not be able too. I wish this sort of abuse on nobody!” As a mum seeing the level of negative and abusive comments in which my son is receiving... is disgraceful and totally unacceptable Maguire's mum Zoe Maguire-Wilkinson Little more than two years ago, the centre-back was an ever-present for United and earned a place in the Euros team of the tournament after helping Southgate’s side reach the final. But a drop in form and club game time, including being replaced as captain at Old Trafford, has led pressure and criticism to ratchet up on Maguire, which culminated in every pass Maguire made on Tuesday being met by an ironic cheer after he was brought on as a half-time substitute – where he scored an unfortunate own goal. “It pretty much takes the pressure away from my team-mates and puts it all on myself. It makes them play better, for sure,” said Maguire after the game. “It is a little bit of banter and it is a hostile environment, coming away to Scotland. “I would not say I am a person who struggles with pressure mentally. I have been through a lot in the last couple of years and I have been Manchester United captain for nearly four years. “You take a huge lot of responsibility and everything that comes with it and that is a lot of bad as well as good.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Leon Smith warns Switzerland will have ‘high motivation’ for Davis Cup clash Harry Kane signs memorabilia deal with American company Fanatics Former Sri Lanka international Jehan Mubarak prepares kids for special World Cup
