MORE: Must-see Round 1 photos | LeBron avoids ‘shenanigans’ with SVG The Hawks jumped out to a 24-7 lead, and that was pretty much that. The Grizzlies didn’t put up a much more of a fight; they trailed the Spurs 22-11 after one quarter. If you are a Hawks or Spurs fan, it was a good night. Going up 2-0 in the playoffs is never a bad thing, especially for the Spurs, who put a premium on resting their veterans....

The as-of-yet untitled Harry Potter RPG is rumored to be set sometime in the 1800s at Hogwarts–but just because the times will be different, that doesn’t mean all of the magic will be. Sure, one would hope that new spells will be introduced to keep things fresh in Harry Potter lore, but many spells that fans know and love could easily be made a part of the RPG’s gameplay. Let’s take a look at some of the most likely candidates from the books and movies....
At launch, Skyrim was hailed by fans and critics as a genre-defining RPG. While it’s initial scope has been met, and in some cases surpassed, by games like The Witcher 3, a Harry Potter game with the same sense of scale, discovery, and lore as Skyrim would manage to captivate an audience that has had, at best, a tumultuous experience with games.

There isn’t an official explanation for the changes to the Community Day timing, but right now it seems like it is likely a one-time exception and not necessarily a new normal for the mobile AR game. Players won’t know that for sure until the November Harry Potter: Wizards Unite calendar of events rolls out in a few weeks though.

Hart prevented the score from being tied — and flashed the spectacular potential that showed he’s indeed the Flyers’ franchise goalie. Hart stopped 25 shots for his first career shutout to lift Philadelphia to a 4-0 win over New Jersey on Wednesday night. Hart became the youngest goaltender in Flyers’ history to record a shutout, at the age of 21 years, 57 days. He topped Dominic Roussel, who shut out Calgary on February 27, 1992, at the age of 22 years, five days....
Leading the charge for Haryana, tournament favorite Tamanna crushed her opponent Tingmila Doungel 5-0 in the 48 kg category. This is Tamanna’s third gold after Black Forest Cup and Nation’s Cup in Serbia. Besides Tamanna, Priti Dahiya (60kg) also dominated in her 5-0 bout against Chandigarh’s Diya Negi to register her gold medal hat-trick. Kalpana (46kg), Rinku (50kg), Tannu (52kg), Neha (54kg) and Khushi (63kg) were other gold medalists for the state....
I just wonder what you think of the possible departure of David Luiz now to that of this time last season? Has your opinion of Luiz changed or do you think that the real emergence of Gary Cahill has possibly forced Chelsea’s hand as we look to the future? Under Rafa Benitez, Luiz stepped into midfield and has never really looked back despite the fact he plays and will start for Brazil as a centre back....
She has completed the marathon. The computer has completed running its diagnostics. He has completed filling out the forms. I had completed my work when my friends showed up. They had completed their task before starting their next challenge. We had completed our homework, but we forgot it at home. I have completed outlining my essay. You have completed listening to the podcast. I have completed my training. They have completed their project....
As reports by the ‘Europol’ (Europe’s law enforcement agency) show that almost 700 professional football games ‘may’ have been fixed in recent years, by leading betting syndicates from Asian countries, the ongoing investigations bring back memories of the ‘Calciopoli’ scandal, which had hit Italian football in 2006. Juventus, at the heart of the scandal, were demoted to Serie ‘B’, and were stripped of their two league titles (2005 and 2006), whereas other clubs such as AC Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Reggina were punished heavily too....
Since the duo squabbled over set-piece responsibilities in a 2-0 win over Lyon at Parc des Princes, their compatibility has been the focus of the media and will, no doubt, continue to come under scrutiny in the weeks ahead. PSG 11/2 to win CL But this battle to become alpha male in the French capital rather ignores the fact that there is set to be one other giant loser at PSG over the months to come: Julian Draxler, a player, who, at 24, should be approaching his prime....
Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast division is responsible for opening up this new game studio, with it called the New Raleigh-Durham Studio. It is based in North Carolina, and the division will be focused on both console and PC games that are based on Hasbro properties. This new division will also be helmed by veterans of the gaming industry, who have come from big studios like WB Games and have worked on AAA titles like Hitman or the Batman: Arkham series....
Hashim Amla. Ranked three in the world for both Test and one-day internationals. A man who, at times, appears to be playing on a different wicket to the bloke at the other end (remember his innings against us at The Oval for Surrey, when everyone else struggled?) He averages over fifty in Test and one-day internationals and is, quite simply, one of the greats of the modern game. He is also the subject of one of my favourite cricket comments, when a broadcaster who really should have known better, said that Amla’s bat was ‘quite literally a wand’....
As Aaron Judge took the plate in the first inning, he exchanged Christmas Day pleasantries with Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez. They both shared a smile and a laugh. Gone are the days of Alex Rodriguez getting his mush stuffed by Jason Varitek, or Pedro Martinez throwing bench coaches to the ground, I thought to myself. This rivalry is dead, never to be revived again. Then came a questionable slide by Tyler Austin....
Fisher seized on an unusually calm October day and a relatively friendly set-up at St Andrews to tear apart the home of golf, going bogey-free and sinking 11 birdies before reaching the intimidating 17th. The former Ryder Cup player was off the back of the green with his approach shot at the Road Hole but got up and down to make par. Fisher missed a short birdie putt at the last, but tapped in for par to break the course record with a magnificent 11-under 61 to finish second on 21 under....
A female fan was pictured bleeding from a head wound after being hit by a drive from defending champion Hatton on the 15th hole at Kingsbarns, one of three courses staging the event. The English golfer spoke to her when she returned to her feet after receiving treatment, and she was later seen walking to a golf cart and smiling as she was taken to an on-site medical center....
In this Gearbox Software-published game, the new Fast Food update not only provides fans with more content, but it is a way to discuss the importance of healthy diets compared to the preservative-filled and sugary junk food that modern society consumes. According to Nicolas Leger, the creative director and animation director for Have a Nice Death, the Fast Food update is supposed to delve into the aesthetics of American diners from the ’50s to make it clear that fast food restaurants are part of the problem, but not the only issue....
Case in point, Honolulu’s first game of the Little League World Series, when Kea slugged a walk-off home run after tossing 6 1/3 shutout innings. But even he isn’t afraid to admit it — playing on national television and meeting major league players can be quite daunting. “This whole tournament, this whole journey has been really nerve-wracking because our faces are all over the world and you never know who’s watching,” 12-year-old Kea said....
The South Maui beach stretch from Kihei Boat Ramp to Kalama Park remains closed after two sharks were spotted off of Kamaole Beach 1 and Charley Young Beach, according to a post Tuesday on the official County of Maui Facebook account. “One 10- to 15-foot tiger shark was seen about 300 yards off of Kamaole Beach Park 1, and another, approximately 10-foot shark was spotted within 100 yards off of Charley Young Beach....
The Harry Potter movies were no different. So many great scenes, characters and lines that filled readers with laughter, inspiration and joy were left out of the final movies due to the constraints of cinema and which many fans have sorely missed. With that in mind, here are some great quotes that were only in the Harry Potterbooks. 10 Rita Skeeter: “I Wonder If You Could Give Me A Quick Word?...
