From a young and tender age, Harry Potter developed a phenomenal ability to cleverly insult or strike back at people he didn’t like. Some of the best one-liners in books and movies came from him, and especially with folks like Snape and Umbridge, Harry never felt the need to hold back, coming up with the most venomous punches and replies.
And yet, one time, the Chosen One chose the wrong comeback for Umbridge.
Umbridge Set the Trap for Herself
In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Professor Umbridge’s first Defense Against Dark Arts lesson with Gryffindor didn’t go according to plan whatsoever. The students openly rebelled against her “Ministry-approved plan” of locking them behind textbooks and disabling them from actively practicing the spells they’ll be learning.
Losing more patience by the second, Umbridge engaged in a heated discussion of her methods with the class — and at one point,...

The first time I interviewed Andre Braugher, he was uncertain and uncomfortable. It was hard to process, coming from an actor who had made certitude into his calling card. Braugher was righteous and righteously correct or he was nothing, but it took the courage and conviction of an Andre Braugher character to shift that image as wildly and vividly as the actor did in the last third of his career.
It was the fall of 2014, just weeks after the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. With two earlier wins already to his credit, Braugher had been nominated for the first season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, his first nod in a comedy category. His performance as Capt. Raymond Holt on Brooklyn Nine-Nine was rooted in the years he’d spent playing stern authority figures, but at the same time, this version of the Braugher persona seemed revelatory. It opened the comedy doors sufficiently that...

Rory Gilmore’s love life is divisive. Gilmore Girls Fans are pretty evenly split between Logan Huntzberger and Jess Mariano being the right man for Rory. While Jess has plenty of fans, he has haters, too. Jess’ opponents argue that he was angsty, inconsiderate and mean, especially to Rory. Fans claim he was smart, insightful, and wounded. Both sides are correct, but we still think we need to defend the angsty New York native.
Jess Mariano’s early life explains a lot of his behavior on ‘Gilmore Girls’
Jess might have been angsty and a bit difficult, but we must give the kid a pass, at least for some of his bad behavior. He was dealt a difficult hand, and we can’t blame him for acting out. Jess was raised in New York, abandoned by his father, and eventually ditched by his mother.
