THE WONDERFUL WIZARDING WORLD Its the moment Harry Potter fans have waited for almost five years: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is almost here, and the first trailer has officially been released.

While the Harry Potter series showed the wizarding world of England, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them will give audiences a glimpse of what the wizarding community is like in the United States. The movie takes place 70 years before the original franchise and follows the adventures of Newt Samander, a writer who studies magical creatures.

David Yates will return to direct this film, and with his previous experience at the head of the last four Harry Potter movies, he has already proved his ability to bring the magical stories of J.K. Rowling to life on the big screen. Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne will star as the magizoologist, Newt Scamander, along with Colin Farrell and Jon Voight.

The trailer is sure to bring chills to any Potterhead from the familiar spell at the beginning to the haunting theme music at the end. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is sure to be one of the most highly anticipated movies of 2016.
Have You Seen This? Giant 1,000 lb. bear is made of nightmare juice

NIGHTMARE LAND Many of you know that I am not a big fan of bears. I know you think they're adorable, but I promise you won't think they're so cuddly and cute when they dismember you for kicks and then use your bones as toothpicks to get your Abercrombie shirt out of their teeth.

Sorry to get graphic, I'm just very passionate about this subject and the fact that we need to prepare for the Bearpocalypse. Bears hope to be our four-legged overlords and considering their brute strength, speed, all-terrain bodies and growing intelligence, it's going to be tough to stop Bearmageddon.

I had hope that we humans were still in control of our own destiny, but then I found this video that is straight out of a nightmare and now I fear for our kind.

This video is a year old and was taken in Alaska, the scariest place on earth due to the bear to human ratio. They call this bear 747 because he's the size of a passenger jet and if he decides to crash with you aboard there will be no survivors.

I know you're thinking 747 is a big cuddly mammal and when he scratches his back on that tree your eyes get all starry and your mouth starts making that, "ahhh" shape. Resist it. Fight it. Survive. 747 is using the tree to limber up to make sure he is poised and ready to take you down if you get a little too close.

Apparently, it's possible to take a bear tour to see 747 and others like him, and you can if that's your prerogative. People like to do stuff like that. Some people also like to hunt ghosts and perform seances because who doesn't want to live in an actual nightmare?

Please stay away from 747 and prepare yourself for the Bearpocalypse.
