Only J.K. Rowling could make a movie based off of a textbook look this good.

5 Reasons To See 'Fantastic Beasts'
Coming Soon

It's been over five years since our last glimpse into J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, but that changed when Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released last Friday.

As an avid Harry Potter fan, I just had to see it within the first week of its premiere, and I fell in love with the magic (and a new character or two) all over again. To share my admiration for the movie, I've complied a list of five reasons you should go see the movie.

1. It’s the long awaited continuation of the wizarding world that stole our hearts.

Don't tell me you didn't miss the magic and mischief of Rowling's characters.

2. Newt Scamander is a whole lot of British, lanky, smart, and subsequently adorable (aka everything you could ask for in a guy).

I fell for Newt within the first ten minutes, and I'm not even ashamed.

3. The beasts are indeed FANTASTIC.

They all bring their own unique characteristics to the movie, but my personal favorite is the little green Bowtruckle that stands on Newt's shoulders (maybe because I secretly wish I was him).

4. Two words: amazing cinematography.

The creatures, the spells, and the home inside of Newt's suitcase are just a few of the cinematographic elements that

5. There’s no reason not to go see it.

Don't try to deny it. With action, a touch of romance, great visuals, and a snarky main character, Fantastic Beasts leaves nothing to the imagination. It's this year's must-see.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
