'Harry Potter' fans are totally blown away by this illustrator's black Hermione fan art



#BlackHermione #HarryPotter #Hermione #JKRowling #SophiaCanning,

 Sophia Canning posted an illustration of Hermione as a woman of color, which took her about three or four hours to draw.
Notice how Hermione's wearing a SPEW badge — that's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare, for those unfamiliar. 
Illustrators and Harry Potter fans alike were amazed by Canning's beautiful piece. 
Fellow illustrator Sara Rhys said the piece clearly "took a ton of skill" and didn't look like it had been drawn quickly. 
One fan wrote that it was the "most beautiful and realistic Hermione" they'd ever seen. 
Another fan said it was "hands down" the best Hermione fan art they'd ever seen. 
Some asked about Canning's technique. She explained that the whole thing had been drawn in Photoshop. 
"Take a bow," one fan wrote. 
Some people took issue with the fact that Canning drew Hermione as a woman of colour. She had something to say in response: 
"Shut the fuck up dumbasses," wrote Canning. 
Let's all just remind ourselves what J.K. Rowling had to say when it was announced Noma Dumezweni had been cast as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Beautiful!

A Brief History of Skittles - Taste the rainbow

#Candy #Skittles #TastetheRainbow The candy that we are so familiar with today first came into existence in 1974. Skittles spent the first five years of their lives solely in Britain since it wasn’t until 1979 that North America got a chance to taste  the  rainbow. There is much speculation surrounding the creator of Skittles, as nobody really knows exactly who first made them. One story suggests that a British man named Mr. Skittles looked at a rainbow one day and wondered how it would taste. Other sources state that the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891, created candy and other confectionery, including Extra chewing gum. However, although Wrigley produces Skittles today, it is widely accepted that an unknown British company was the original manufacturer. After three years of being imported to North America from the UK, Skittles started being manufactured in the US and Britain. There were very few flavors compared to the varieties available today. Consumers enjoyed gra...

Celebrate Christmas with the Top 15 greatest films

  #ItsaWonderfulLife #Elf  #AChristmasStory #xmas A great Christmas movie will not only make the grade for the test of time, but it can become a beloved part of a person’s life. Ask 15 people which is their favorite holiday film, and you may get 15 different titles. Our photo gallery focuses on the 15 titles we believe are the best of all time. Scroll through the gallery, read our descriptions, and debate with us the order, ranked best to worst, and which ones you think are missing. Our list is led off by the Frank Capra classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring James Stewart, a film that was deemed a box office bomb when it was first released. It was the relentless airings on television over the past few decades that made it a favorite for many families. Stewart is also featured in the lesser-known but still wonderful “The Shop Around the Corner.” While that movie is uplifting, other funnier flicks that made our cut are “A Christmas Story,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas...
