A possible return for Harry Potter films

Feb 22 2021

Potter fans might be in for a treat as Warner Bros. is negotiating with the original cast members for an as of yet unknown project. The crew has recently brought Fantastic Beasts to the big screen, keeping Hogwarts alive and well, but the future project might take fans on a new adventure.

Of many possible avenues, the most likely would be J.K. Rowling’s play ‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’ but fans will have to wait to see but in more recent news.

In light of this news, yesterday would have marked the 75th birthday of Severus Snape’s actor Alan Rickman.

Boris Johnson to begin 4-step plan to lift England’s lockdown

Feb 22 2021

By 8 March, Boris Johnson seeks to ease lockdown measures, opening up schools as well as other extra-curricular activities.

All students will be returning to their desks and are free for meet ups with one other friend. 29 March will then make it possible for larger groups of six people or two households to meet outside and in other private areas.

This is the first stage of a four part plan enacted by Johnson towards a return to normal. Periods of five weeks will be used to analyse COVID details before every phase and expected to be completed by late June.

The government is also planning on offering all UK adults vaccine by end of July.
