Artwork Reveals What the Hogwarts House Common Rooms Look Like
During his time exploring the halls of Hogwarts, Harry Potter managed to investigate three of the four Hogwarts house common rooms. Only Hufflepuff remained uncharted, its entrance sealed behind a kitchen barrel.
Writing on Pottermore, JK Rowling said: "When I first planned the series, I expected Harry to visit all four house common rooms during his time at Hogwarts. There came a point when I realised that there was never going to be a valid reason to enter the Hufflepuff room.
"Nevertheless, it is quite as real to me as the other three, and I always knew exactly where those Hufflepuffs were going when they headed off towards the kitchens after lessons."

Following Batman and Harley Quinn, the next DC animated film appears to be a retelling of Gotham by Gaslight, the story that sees Batman transplanted into the 18th Century.

Gotham by Gaslight was originally a much-loved DC Elseworlds story, featuring Bruce Wayne (alongside several familiar faces) becoming Batman in 1889, and investigating whether Jack the Ripper has come to Gotham.
Spider-Man PS4’s Open World ‘Several Times Larger’ Than Sunset Overdrive
The New York you'll be swinging through in the upcoming PS4 Spider-Man game will be a big one - "several times larger" than Insomniac's last open world, Sunset City (the setting for Sunset Overdrive).
The developer made the comparison on Twitter, after a fan asked them to compare it to the size of The Witcher 3:
That's not a comparison we can really make. It's several times larger than Sunset City was tho

I asked about the climactic reveal that Peter Parker's artsy, acerbic classmate Michelle (played by Zendaya) goes by the nickname "MJ," which is the same nickname as Spidey's longtime comics girlfriend and future wife, Mary Jane Watson.
