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.

LONDON A research foundation originally set up by Philip Morris International (PMI) will no longer accept any funding

Ed Sheeran has challenged fellow singer Lewis Capaldi to a boxing match and it’s fair to say it would be a sight to behold. In recent years, it seems boxing has been inundated with people from the worlds of influencers and content creators, with YouTuber brothers Logan Paul and Jake Paul both taking to the ring to settle feuds. Now, Sheeran has revealed who he would fight if he were to don a pair of padded gloves and now the fans are clamouring for it. The 'Shape of You' singer said Capaldi would be top of his list during an interview with iFL TV in Dublin, ahead of the Taylor vs Cameron 2 fight. Initially, when asked who he would take on if he were to be on a Misfits Boxing card, the pop star said he'd fight his dad. But, when asked who from the music scene he'd like to go head-to-head with, he said Capaldi’s name with no hesitation. Sheeran told the camera: “Capaldi … I’d do it, I’d do it. Lewis, [I’ll] f**king have you, c**t.” Although it may be a hypothetical situation, Sheeran’s family does have a history in the sport as his grandfather was a boxer and was also part of the British Boxing Board of Control. But, it didn’t stop people from being excited about the match-up. “Go on lad,” one person commented. Another predicted: “Capaldi stops him early.” All we can say is, they'd probably have more success in arranging their fight than Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.
