Indiana Jones Goes on an All-New Adventure in September
The adventures of Indiana Jones are probably done on the big screen, but on the small screen, they're just getting started. Months after the release of the excellent Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video game, the companies behind it just announced some new downloadable content, and it's giant. Literally. The Order of Giants is the title of the DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and it'll be available September 4. In the main game, a giant performed by the late, great Tony Todd plays a crucial role and along the way, Indy gets many, many teases to a deeper mythology with his people. Now, it seems, Indy is going to learn even more when he discovers a whole new city under Rome. Here's the trailer. The video game The Great Circle is set between the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark and Last Crusade, and The Order of Giants DLC is set during the events of The Great Circle. So, basically, that means any major events that may or may not happen at the end of the game won't be impacted. But a lot will happen anyway. 'What starts out as a standard treasure hunt quickly becomes treacherous as Indy travels deep below the streets of Rome, exploring ancient crypts, visiting new locations like the ruins of the Colosseum, and coming face to face with an enemy that lurks in the shadows,' the official Lucasfilm blog reads. 'Players can expect to solve a number of intricate puzzles while traversing Rome's ancient sewer system, the Cloaca Maxima, and beyond. And in true Indiana Jones fashion, you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for danger as members of a frightening cult sneak around in the shadows and attempt to stop Indy through any means. There may even be a few familiar faces making a return too!' So basically, Bethesda and Machine Games are giving us an entire new section of the game, with a story that works to deepen our understanding of its already fascinating lore. And, it sounds like we might get more Tony Todd too, which is incredibly exciting. His role in the game is already fantastic that the chance to see more of him, and learn more about the ancient, mysterious history that drives his character, could be super cool. I had an absolute, nostalgic blast playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and was definitely upset when it was over. Now, though I've at least got one more adventure to look forward to before Indy's new game goes off into the sunset. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is now available on Xbox Series X | S consoles, PlayStation 5, PC, and Game Pass. The Order of Giants DLC hits all those places September 4.

If you believe classic fine dining is dead, please refer to the latest UK National Restaurant Awards rankings. The Ritz London, one of the world's more classically elegant dining rooms, where chandeliers cascade from the high ceilings and the mirrored walls and sweeping shades look like they were borrowed from Versailles, ranked No. 1 on the list, which was released on Monday night. It moved up a dozen places from No. 13 last year.

Everything We Know So Far About HBO's Controversial New Harry Potter Series
HBO's forthcoming adaptation of the Harry Potter books has inspired discourse ever since it was first announced back in 2023—due in no small part to author and series producer J.K. Rowling's noted transphobia. But this spring, fans of the franchise recieved a few important casting updates. Arabella Stanton, Dominic McLaughlin, and Alastair Stout Photo: Courtesy of Aidan Monaghan/HBO In late May, it was announced that newcomer Dominic McLaughlin would take on the role of Harry Potter, while Arabella Stanton and Alastair Stout would co-star as Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, respectively. 'After an extraordinary search led by casting directors Lucy Bevan and Emily Brockmann, we are delighted to announce we have found our Harry, Hermione, and Ron,' showrunner and executive producer Francesca Gardiner and executive producer and episodic director Mark Mylod—both known for their work on Succession—said in a statement. 'The talent of these three unique actors is wonderful to behold, and we cannot wait for the world to witness their magic together onscreen. We would like to thank all the tens of thousands of children who auditioned. It's been a real pleasure to discover the plethora of young talent out there.' John Lithgow Janet McTeer Paapa Essiedu Key members of the adult cast were announced back in April, including John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape. On Monday, June 9, however, a whole new batch of actors joined the project, including Katherine Parkinson as Molly Weasley, Lox Pratt as Draco Malfoy, Johnny Flynn as Lucius Malfoy, Leo Earley as Seamus Finnigan, Alessia Leoni as Parvati Patil, Sienna Moosah as Lavender Brown, Bel Powley as Petunia Dursley, Daniel Rigby as Vernon Dursley, and Bertie Carvel as Cornelius Fudge. The new series has been touted as 'a faithful adaptation' of Rowling's original material, and even amid the controversy surrounding it—what with Rowling apparently no longer on speaking terms with her original Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), or Hermione (Emma Watson)—it's hard not to root for these actors to have as successful (and normal!) an experience as possible, entering one of history's biggest young-adult franchises ever.
