Albany scores 24 4th-quarter points to overtake Hampton 41-34Blondes don’t always have more fun. Just ask Harry Potter alum Evanna Lynch , who traded her signature bleach blonde hair for a spellbinding darker ‘do in a video shared on social media Dec. 4. In the clip, the actress—who played the Luna Lovegood in the movies based on J.K. Rowling ’s best-selling book series—styled her hair in a ponytail with her long bangs brushed to the side as she discussed her personal connection to the franchise, including naming her cats after some of the characters. “I had Harry, I had Dumbledore, I had Luna—but Luna deserted me,” she said in a TikTok video posted by Food Network . “She just got tired of us and left. We didn’t know where she went, and then it turned out she was living with the next door neighbor.” However, the dark locks aren’t exactly new, as the 33-year-old previously revealed the dye job in a 2023 photo on her since-deactivated Instagram page. “I do feel blonde suits me better,” Evanna wrote at the time, according to the Daily Mail , “but lately in all my dreams I was consistently sporting these glamorous shiny raven locks for some reason. I felt I was being stalked by my dark and shadowy twin so I had to become her!” Who else has pets named after Harry Potter characters like Evanna Lynch?! 👋 #WizardsOfBaking In the years since the Harry Potter film series came to an end in 2011, Evanna has continued to embrace her ties to the franchise. In fact, she reunited with costars Rupert Grint , Tom Felton and twins James Phelps and Oliver Phelps in 2019 for an event at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park in Orlando, Fla., casting levitation spells with fans amid chants of “Wingardium Leviosa.” Keep reading to see what Evanna and the rest of the young stars of Harry Potter are up to now. The boy who played Harry Potter is ever grateful for the role that knocked down all the doors for him, but he's also been busy scrubbing any child-star residue from his acting image, starting with his raw, nudity-requiring Broadway debut in Equus in 2007. He followed that up with the more chipper How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in 2011. For years he has alternated between theater ( The Cripple of Inishmaan , Rosencrantz and Gildenstern Are Dead ) and film ( The Woman in Black , Victor Frankenstein) , leaning heavily into the dramatic and/or the absurd. To be sure, if there's some dark humor to be found, Radcliffe is into it, whether on TV playing a morphine-addicted physician in A Young Doctor's Notebook or a low-level angel trying to prevent God from ending the world in Miracle Workers— or playing a flatulent corpse in 2016's Swiss Army Man . He was starring in Samuel Beckett 's Endgame at the Old Vic in London when live theater and everything else was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Since then, he played the villain opposite Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum in their 2022 rom-com The Lost City and portrayed musician "Weird Al" Yankovic in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story , a biographical parody film for The Roku Channel. Sober since 2010, Radcliffe has also been open about drinking to excess back when the Harry Potter franchise was nearing its finish and, already more famous than he ever dreamed, he was anxious about his next step in life. "In my case, the quickest way to forget about the fact that you're being watched is to get very drunk," he said on Off Camera With Sam Jones in 2019. "And then as you get very drunk, you become aware that, 'Oh, people are watching more now because now I'm getting very drunk, so I should probably drink more to ignore that more.'" Radcliffe has been in a relationship with actress Erin Darke since meeting her on the set of 2013's Kill Your Darlings , in which he played "Howl" poet Alan Ginsberg . In March, a rep for Radcliffe confirmed to E! News that the couple is expecting their first child. The Paris-born and Oxfordshire-raised kid had no more than a few school plays on her resume when she was cast as Hermione Granger, her first professional acting job. After completing the seven films, Watson split her time between college at Brown University (she graduated in 2014 with a degree in English literature) and starring in indie movies such as The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring . The latter of which saw her breaking out of her rule-abiding Hermione shell as part of a band of privileged but maladjusted young thieves who start stealing clothes, jewelry and cash from celebrity homes. While modeling for the likes of Burberry and Lancôme, Watson played Belle in the hit 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast and in 2019 was the more traditionally minded eldest March sister, Meg, in Greta Gerwig 's Little Women . She has also become an activist focused on gender inequality, launching the HeForShe campaign as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador in 2014 and remaining an outspoken advocate for parity in the film industry and beyond. Past boyfriends have included Will Adamowicz , Matthew Janney, William "Mack" Knight and Leo Robinson , but these days she's happily coupled with Brandon Green . In May 2021, Watson addressed reports about her possible retirement from acting , tweeting, "Rumours about whether my career is 'dormant or not' are ways to create clicks each time they are revealed to be true or untrue." It was as if the redhead from Essex sprang from the earth ready to play Harry's best mate, Ron Weasley. Grint—whose first big post- Potter honor was being part of the Olympic Torch relay before the London Olympics in 2012, an "amazing" experience he said he'd cherish forever— has acted primarily in British productions. Most notably he starred in The ABC Murders on BBC One, based on the Agatha Christie mystery, and the Sky One dark comedy Sick Note , playing an average Joe whose life perks up after he's given a false-alarm cancer diagnosis but decides to let everyone continue to believe he's still sick. ( Lindsay Lohan was among his co-stars.) His movies have included CBGB , about the famed punk-rock club in New York, and the French comedy Moonwalkers . He currently stars on Apple TV+ in Servant , M. Night Shyamalan 's supernatural mystery series, which returned for a second season, and appeared in the writer and director's horror film Knock at the Cabin . "From the moment I got the part [of Ron], my life completely changed," Grint told Radio Times in 2018. "It was a weird time and it has taken me a long while to process. Just being invisible can still be difficult. Sometimes you just want to go to B&Q." He also said, "After Potter I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I had this feeling that I had missed out on normal things. I lost touch with a lot of my friends from school. I wanted to have a bit of a life again, so I took a break. I've never really been super-ambitious. I think there's always been something in me, particularly when I finished Potter, that wants to prove myself, but I'm also naturally quite an insecure person anyway." Whatever he was doing worked. Shyamalan told EW.com about Grint, "He came in and auditioned, and I just saw a different person. I don't know if I've ever seen this kind of reinvention from child actor to adult actor in my life, it's amazing." In May 2020, Grint and longtime girlfriend Georgia Groome welcomed their first child , daughter Wednesday G. Grint . Without a doubt, the erstwhile child actor who played the awkward Neville Longbottom has made the biggest splash in the then-and-now department, as news of Lewis' grown-up hotness has since traversed the globe. Lewis has primarily done stage and screen work in his native England, including the BBC One miniseries The Syndicate , the 2016 tear-jerker Me Before You and the 2018 revenge thriller Terminal with Margot Robbie . In 2015, he raved about the enjoyable time he was having playing a soldier in the BBC Three dramedy Bluestone 42 , about a bomb disposal squad in Afghanistan. "Potter was an amazing and a unique experience that I was privileged to have been a part of," Lewis told RadioTimes.com , "but I've never been as involved with or as proud of a project as I have with Bluestone 42 —I've had so much fun being a part of it, so much more than I've ever had before as an actor, definitely." On the Mantality podcast in January 2020, he said he'd been filming All Creatures Great and Small for Channel 5—an update of the classic BBC show that ran from 1978 to 1990 based on the books by James Herriot . The title might not mean a lot to some, Lewis noted, but it was "a bit of an institution" in Britain (and it's since come to Masterpiece on PBS). He's a private fellow, but we do know that he married Angela Jones in 2018 and that they made at stop at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter World—the very place where they first met—in October 2019. They live in Florida, where Jones is from. The nefarious Draco Malfoy (two consecutive MTV Movie Awards for Best Villain) was really a platinum-haired doll with a heart of gold in real life. In the summer of 2011 he was in Rise of the Planet of the Apes , but has since been in less CGI-heavy films, most notably the period dramas Belle and A United Kingdom . He blew fanboys-and-girls' minds showing up as Julian "Dr. Alchemy" Albert on the CW's The Flash in 2016. Additionally, Felton starred on the YouTube Premium sci-fi drama Origin and the films Ophelia , Braking for Whales and the World War II thriller Burial . Also a singer-songwriter, he has released several EPs over the years as well, and his Instagram , where he delightfully makes soup, plays guitar, hangs out with his dog and has the occasional Potter reunion , is one of the most joyful places on the Internet. Felton dated Jade Olivia Gordon —Draco's flash-forward wife, Astoria Malfoy—for seven years before their breakup in 2016. The actor released his memoir, Beyond the Wand: The Magic and Mayhem of Growing Up a Wizard , in 2022, opening up about his struggles with childhood fame, substance abuse issues and finally set the record straight about his relationship with Emma Watson . "I've always had a secret love for Emma, though not perhaps in the way that people might want to hear," he wrote. "That isn't to say there's never been a spark between us. There most definitely has, only at different times." While nothing romantic formed from that spark, they still have love for each other as friends. "I don't think I was ever in love with Emma," Felton explained, "but I loved and admired her as a person in a way that I could never explain to anybody else." The auburn-haired actress was barely 10 when she started playing Ginny Weasley, going from "Ron's little sister" to Harry Potter's soul mate over the course of the films. In 2011 Wright won the Most Edgy Look Award at the Rodial Beauty Awards and made her London Fashion Week debut walking the runway for London-based designer Katie Eary . Wright graduated from London College of Communication and formed her own production company, BonBonLumière, in 2012. In addition to acting in such non-Potter movies as After the Dark and Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg? , the artist and activist has written and directed her own short films, including Separate We Come, Separate We Go, starring David Thewlis ( the Remus Lupin); 2014's Know Thyself , with Christian Coulson , who played Tom Riddle; and Medusa's Ankles featuring Jason Isaacs , aka Lucius Malfoy. In 2021, Wright released her first book, Go Gently , which offered readers tips on how to become involved in the climate movement. In December 2019, Wright joined Watson, Felton, Lewis and Evanna Lynch for a reunion that, happily, someone thought to take a picture of. "Time turning," Wright captioned the pic , punctuating the sentiment with a lightning bolt. She was previously engaged to Sweeney Todd star Jamie Campbell Bower , who played a young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 1 , but they called it off in 2012. She then dated Simon Hammerstein for several years before finding love with Andrew Lococo in 2020. The pair got married in March 2022. In April 2023, Bonnie announced that she is pregnant with their first child. Not to take away Fred and George Weasley's individuality or anything... but Ron's twin older brothers and Hogwarts' resident pranksters were indeed played by actual twins (Oliver is 13 minutes older and has a mole on the right side of his neck). They have since played twins in other films, including Our Own Worst Enemy and Last Night in Soho , directed by Edgar Wright , while James has done more acting on his own. Another way to tell them apart: Oliver has been married to Katie Humpage since 2015 and they have two daughters, while James exchanged vows with Annika Ostle the following year. The brothers remain as close as ever, hosting a podcast together called Normal Not Normal and have interviewed former co-stars such as Evanna Lynch, Katie Leung and Alfred Enoch . The British actor started out in the Hogwarts student ensemble as fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas and, after doing a slew of theater in England and popping up in the likes of Broadchurch and Sherlock , starred on four seasons of How to Get Away With Murder . There he played the well-intentioned but inevitably morally compromised and doomed law student Wes, though he returned for a cameo as—SPOILER ALERT—Wes' own son in the mindboggling final season in 2020. He has since appeared in Apple TV+'s Foundation and he is also a graduate of The Queen's College, Oxford. Chris Columbus was looking for a 15-to-17-year-old to play the specter of 16-year-old Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , but the 23-year-old Coulson won the part anyway. He's been working in film and TV ever since, most notably playing Damien George on Nashville , Sebastian in the Golden Globe-winning Amazon Prime series Mozart in the Jungle and Benjamin on High Fidelity , the Hulu reboot of the book-turned-movie starring Zoë Kravitz as the lovelorn, list-making record store owner, now set in Brooklyn. After beating out roughly 3,000 other aspirants to play Harry's Goblet of Fire -era crush, Cho Chang, the classically trained Scottish actress did theater and TV on her side of the pond, including the series White Dragon and Chimerica . Most recently she appeared in the BBC One limited series The Nest . On the big screen, she played the daughter of Jackie Chan 's character (whose death in a terrorist bombing he spends the movie avenging) in the 2017 action-thriller The Foreigner . She currently stars on the Amazon Prime TV series The Peripheral , which was recently renewed for a second season. Leung revealed in a December 2022 Instagram post that she had welcomed her first child, a son named Wolf . In March 2021, Leung, who is of Chinese descent, opened up about the hate she received online after her casting was announced . "I was like, Googling myself at one point and I was on this website which was dedicated to kind of Harry Potter fandom and I remember reading all the comments. It was a lot of racist s--t," Leung said on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast. "And then somebody had actually created a website, a hate site—it was like, if you disagree with this casting, then click on this button and then it would just be like a count of how many people disagreed with the casting and you would just see a number...I know, it's awful. It's so awful." Gosh, whatever happened to the lad who played ill-fated heartthrob Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ... Oh, right: Pattinson landed the lead in the other major YA franchise roiling hearts and minds, The Twilight Saga , and played brooding vampire Edward Cullen in five films, dating co-star Kristen Stewart along the way. Since then he has distinguished himself in the acting department with gritty turns in independent films like Maps to the Stars , Cosmopolis , The Rover , Good Time and The Lighthouse. But he returned to big budget blockbusters when he donned the iconic cape and scowl as the titular DC superhero in 2022's The Batman . Previously engaged to FKA twigs , Pattinson has been dating model and actress Suki Waterhouse since 2018. The statuesque Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons Academy in France, chosen to represent her school in the Triwizard Tournament, eventually marries Ron's groovy big brother Bill. Since then Poésy has worked steadily in film and TV, most prominently on Gossip Girl, the dark comedy In Bruges , the English and French crime series The Tunnel and in Genius: Picasso on National Geographic Channel. The French actress appeared in Christopher Nolan 's Tenant opposite her former Triwizard Tournament opponent, Robert Pattinson, and the Apple TV+ series The Essex Serpent . She will next star in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon , the highly anticipated spinoff centering on Norman Reedus ' beloved titular character from the zombie franchise. Poésy has a son, Liam , who was born in 2017, and welcomed a second child in 2019. "I was thinking today how much it's made me closer to women, somehow; closer to women in the centuries before, the whole clinical aspect of being pregnant and then becoming a mum and giving birth, it makes you think a lot," she told The Guardian at the time. "It's made my admiration for women even stronger." The angelic-looking actress stole her scenes as the scatterbrained but heroic Luna Lovegood starting in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix —but she admitted that she struggled to get acting work after being part of the iconic franchise. "It was just weird because we were getting all this fan mail and all this attention," Lynch told Bustle in 2019. "But I found in the real world that wasn't reflected. And it was hard. I think for a while I really missed the validation of being in a giant film series where anything you did was just admired and gushed over. A vegan herself since 2015, Lynch started a clean, cruelty-free beauty line, Kinder Beauty Box, in 2018, and co-hosts a podcast, Just Beings , with Dr. Melanie Joy. She came in third place on Dancing With the Stars in 2018 and she released her first book, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting , in 2021. She told Bustle that she remained especially close to Katie Leung and Scarlett Byrne (Pansy Parkington)—they were planning to go to a New Year's Eve party together to ring in 2020—and saw a lot of her former co-stars at conventions. "I think a lot of us have bonded more since the films," Lynch said. "Just because we're older and we're adults now. Say, for example, I hung out with the twins this weekend, James and Oliver [Phelps]. And I didn't talk to them much on the films because when you're 14 and whatever, they're 18 or 19, it seems like such a giant age gap. When you're adults it doesn't seem that much." Draco's henchman Goyle also cleaned up his act since his Slytherin days, most recently appearing in the British crime drama Marcella with Anna Friel , the 2018 big-screen update of Robin Hood , the crime miniseries Murder at White House Farm and the spy drama Alex Rider . In 2016, he began his MMA career, though he recently had a small role in Disney+'s Andor . Herdman is also dad to a son, Morgan , with longtime partner Jessica Worth . Like most of the Harry Potter bullies, even Dudley Dursley was a perfectly nice bloke in real life. Mid-franchise, Melling started a workout regimen and got into such good shape he was almost recast before Deathly Hallows Part 1 , but was able to stay on as Harry's portly spoiled cousin by wearing prosthetics. Though fairly unrecognizable from those days, Melling has worked consistently on stage and screen ever since, including roles in The Lost City of Z , the Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and the HBO series His Dark Materials . More recently, Melling reteamed with Joel Coen to play Malcolm in the director's take on The Tragedy of Macbeth , with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as the murderously ambitious main duo. Melling also appeared as Harry Beltik in the hit Netflix series The Queen's Gambit and co-starred opposite Charlize Theron in the streaming giant's action flick The Old Guard. And last year, he earned rave reviews for his turn as a young Edgar Allan Poe in The Pale Blue Eye .
In the world of football, where passion, strategy, and determination collide on the pitch, few managers have captured the hearts of fans and players alike quite like Jurgen Klopp. As the driving force behind Liverpool FC, Klopp's charismatic personality and innovative coaching style have helped reshape the club's identity and instill a sense of belief in the team's ability to compete at the highest level.

One of the key reasons for the focus on stability in the real estate market is to prevent systemic risks to the economy. The real estate market is closely tied to other sectors of the economy, such as banking and construction, and any significant disruptions in the market could have far-reaching consequences. By emphasizing the need for stability, the central government is working to mitigate these risks and create a more sustainable and resilient real estate market.Blondes don’t always have more fun.

"Time turning," Wright captioned the pic , punctuating the sentiment with a lightning bolt. She was previously engaged to Sweeney Todd star Jamie Campbell Bower , who played a young Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 1 , but they called it off in 2012. She then dated Simon Hammerstein for several years before finding love with Andrew Lococo in 2020. The pair got married in March 2022. In April 2023, Bonnie announced that she is pregnant with their first child. Not to take away Fred and George Weasley's individuality or anything... but Ron's twin older brothers and Hogwarts' resident pranksters were indeed played by actual twins (Oliver is 13 minutes older and has a mole on the right side of his neck). They have since played twins in other films, including Our Own Worst Enemy and Last Night in Soho , directed by Edgar Wright , while James has done more acting on his own. Another way to tell them apart: Oliver has been married to Katie Humpage since 2015 and they have two daughters, while James exchanged vows with Annika Ostle the following year. The brothers remain as close as ever, hosting a podcast together called Normal Not Normal and have interviewed former co-stars such as Evanna Lynch, Katie Leung and Alfred Enoch . The British actor started out in the Hogwarts student ensemble as fellow Gryffindor Dean Thomas and, after doing a slew of theater in England and popping up in the likes of Broadchurch and Sherlock , starred on four seasons of How to Get Away With Murder . There he played the well-intentioned but inevitably morally compromised and doomed law student Wes, though he returned for a cameo as—SPOILER ALERT—Wes' own son in the mindboggling final season in 2020. He has since appeared in Apple TV+'s Foundation and he is also a graduate of The Queen's College, Oxford. Chris Columbus was looking for a 15-to-17-year-old to play the specter of 16-year-old Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , but the 23-year-old Coulson won the part anyway. He's been working in film and TV ever since, most notably playing Damien George on Nashville , Sebastian in the Golden Globe-winning Amazon Prime series Mozart in the Jungle and Benjamin on High Fidelity , the Hulu reboot of the book-turned-movie starring Zoë Kravitz as the lovelorn, list-making record store owner, now set in Brooklyn. After beating out roughly 3,000 other aspirants to play Harry's Goblet of Fire -era crush, Cho Chang, the classically trained Scottish actress did theater and TV on her side of the pond, including the series White Dragon and Chimerica . Most recently she appeared in the BBC One limited series The Nest . On the big screen, she played the daughter of Jackie Chan 's character (whose death in a terrorist bombing he spends the movie avenging) in the 2017 action-thriller The Foreigner . She currently stars on the Amazon Prime TV series The Peripheral , which was recently renewed for a second season. Leung revealed in a December 2022 Instagram post that she had welcomed her first child, a son named Wolf . In March 2021, Leung, who is of Chinese descent, opened up about the hate she received online after her casting was announced . "I was like, Googling myself at one point and I was on this website which was dedicated to kind of Harry Potter fandom and I remember reading all the comments. It was a lot of racist s--t," Leung said on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast. "And then somebody had actually created a website, a hate site—it was like, if you disagree with this casting, then click on this button and then it would just be like a count of how many people disagreed with the casting and you would just see a number...I know, it's awful. It's so awful." Gosh, whatever happened to the lad who played ill-fated heartthrob Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ... Oh, right: Pattinson landed the lead in the other major YA franchise roiling hearts and minds, The Twilight Saga , and played brooding vampire Edward Cullen in five films, dating co-star Kristen Stewart along the way. Since then he has distinguished himself in the acting department with gritty turns in independent films like Maps to the Stars , Cosmopolis , The Rover , Good Time and The Lighthouse. But he returned to big budget blockbusters when he donned the iconic cape and scowl as the titular DC superhero in 2022's The Batman . Previously engaged to FKA twigs , Pattinson has been dating model and actress Suki Waterhouse since 2018. The statuesque Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons Academy in France, chosen to represent her school in the Triwizard Tournament, eventually marries Ron's groovy big brother Bill. Since then Poésy has worked steadily in film and TV, most prominently on Gossip Girl, the dark comedy In Bruges , the English and French crime series The Tunnel and in Genius: Picasso on National Geographic Channel. The French actress appeared in Christopher Nolan 's Tenant opposite her former Triwizard Tournament opponent, Robert Pattinson, and the Apple TV+ series The Essex Serpent . She will next star in The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon , the highly anticipated spinoff centering on Norman Reedus ' beloved titular character from the zombie franchise. Poésy has a son, Liam , who was born in 2017, and welcomed a second child in 2019. "I was thinking today how much it's made me closer to women, somehow; closer to women in the centuries before, the whole clinical aspect of being pregnant and then becoming a mum and giving birth, it makes you think a lot," she told The Guardian at the time. "It's made my admiration for women even stronger." The angelic-looking actress stole her scenes as the scatterbrained but heroic Luna Lovegood starting in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix —but she admitted that she struggled to get acting work after being part of the iconic franchise. "It was just weird because we were getting all this fan mail and all this attention," Lynch told Bustle in 2019. "But I found in the real world that wasn't reflected. And it was hard. I think for a while I really missed the validation of being in a giant film series where anything you did was just admired and gushed over. A vegan herself since 2015, Lynch started a clean, cruelty-free beauty line, Kinder Beauty Box, in 2018, and co-hosts a podcast, Just Beings , with Dr. Melanie Joy. She came in third place on Dancing With the Stars in 2018 and she released her first book, The Opposite of Butterfly Hunting , in 2021. She told Bustle that she remained especially close to Katie Leung and Scarlett Byrne (Pansy Parkington)—they were planning to go to a New Year's Eve party together to ring in 2020—and saw a lot of her former co-stars at conventions. "I think a lot of us have bonded more since the films," Lynch said. "Just because we're older and we're adults now. Say, for example, I hung out with the twins this weekend, James and Oliver [Phelps]. And I didn't talk to them much on the films because when you're 14 and whatever, they're 18 or 19, it seems like such a giant age gap. When you're adults it doesn't seem that much." Draco's henchman Goyle also cleaned up his act since his Slytherin days, most recently appearing in the British crime drama Marcella with Anna Friel , the 2018 big-screen update of Robin Hood , the crime miniseries Murder at White House Farm and the spy drama Alex Rider . In 2016, he began his MMA career, though he recently had a small role in Disney+'s Andor . Herdman is also dad to a son, Morgan , with longtime partner Jessica Worth . Like most of the Harry Potter bullies, even Dudley Dursley was a perfectly nice bloke in real life. Mid-franchise, Melling started a workout regimen and got into such good shape he was almost recast before Deathly Hallows Part 1 , but was able to stay on as Harry's portly spoiled cousin by wearing prosthetics. Though fairly unrecognizable from those days, Melling has worked consistently on stage and screen ever since, including roles in The Lost City of Z , the Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and the HBO series His Dark Materials . More recently, Melling reteamed with Joel Coen to play Malcolm in the director's take on The Tragedy of Macbeth , with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as the murderously ambitious main duo. Melling also appeared as Harry Beltik in the hit Netflix series The Queen's Gambit and co-starred opposite Charlize Theron in the streaming giant's action flick The Old Guard. And last year, he earned rave reviews for his turn as a young Edgar Allan Poe in The Pale Blue Eye .A New Cold Air Mass is Shipping Out: Cooling Temperatures Set to Reach Southern China
SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean prosecutors on Sunday detained a former defense minister who allegedly recommended last week’s brief but stunning martial law imposition to President Yoon Suk Yeol, making him the first figure detained over the case, news reports said. The reported development came a day after Yoon avoided an opposition-led bid to impeach him in parliament, with most ruling party lawmakers boycotting a floor vote to prevent the two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The main liberal opposition Democratic Party said it will prepare a new impeachment motion against Yoon. On Sunday, ex-Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun voluntarily appeared at a Seoul prosecutors’ office, where he had his mobile phone confiscated and was detained, Yonhap news agency reported. Other South Korean media carried similar reports, saying Kim was moved to a Seoul detention center. The reports said police were searching Kim's former office and residence on Sunday. Repeated calls to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office and the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office were unanswered. An official at the detention facility in eastern Seoul hung up the phone when The Associated Press called. Get the latest breaking news as it happens.

Kim is a central figure in Yoon’s martial law enforcement, which led to special forces troops encircling the National Assembly building and army helicopters hovering over it. The military withdrew after the parliament unanimously voted to overturn Yoon’s decree, forcing his Cabinet to lift it before daybreak Wednesday.

Credit: AP/Ahn Young-joon In Kim’s impeachment motion document, the Democratic Party and other opposition parties accused him of proposing martial law to Yoon. Ruling party leader Han Dong-hun made a similar comment on Kim’s role. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho told parliament that Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly. The Democratic Party called Yoon’s martial law imposition “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or a coup.” It has filed complaints with police against at least nine people, including Yoon and Kim, over the alleged rebellion. In a statement distributed by the Defense Ministry on Wednesday, Kim said that “all troops who performed duties related to martial law were acting on my instructions, and all responsibility lies with me.” Prosecutor General Shim Woo Jung told reporters on Thursday the prosecution plans to investigate the rebellion charges against Yoon following complaints filed by the opposition.

Credit: AP/Ng Han Guan While the president mostly has immunity from prosecution while in office, that does not extend to allegations of rebellion or treason. It wasn’t immediately clear how the prosecution plans to proceed with an investigation into Yoon. The Defense Ministry said it has suspended three top military commanders over their alleged involvement in the martial law imposition. They were among those facing the opposition-raised rebellion allegations. On Saturday, Yoon issued an apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose it. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. The turmoil has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. The scrapping of Yoon's impeachment motion is expected to intensify protests calling for his ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party, but it is determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals.NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks pulled Wall Street to another record amid mixed trading. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Monday after closing November at an all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1%. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared after saying an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or the company’s board. Retailers were mixed coming off Black Friday and heading into what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record. Treasury yields held relatively steady in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — Technology stocks are pulling Wall Street toward another record amid mixed trading on Monday. The S&P 500 rose 0.2% in afternoon trading after closing its best month of the year at an all-time high . The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 86 points, or 0.2%, with a little more than an hour remaining in trading, while the Nasdaq composite was 0.9% higher. Super Micro Computer, a stock that’s been on an AI-driven roller coaster, soared 31.1% to lead the market. Following accusations of misconduct and the resignation of its public auditor , the maker of servers used in artificial-intelligence technology said an investigation found no evidence of misconduct by its management or by the company's board. It also said it doesn’t expect to restate its past financials and that it will find a new chief financial officer, appoint a general counsel and make other moves to strengthen its governance. Big Tech stocks also helped prop up the market. Gains of 1.8% for Microsoft and 2.9% for Meta Platforms were the two strongest forces pushing upward on the S&P 500. Intel was another propellant during the morning, but it lost an early gain to fall 1.1% after the chip company said CEO Pat Gelsinger has retired and stepped down from the board. Intel is looking for Gelsinger’s replacement, and its chair said it’s “committed to restoring investor confidence.” Intel recently lost its spot in the Dow Jones Industrial Average to Nvidia, which has skyrocketed in Wall Street's frenzy around AI. Stellantis, meanwhile, skidded following the announcement of its CEO’s departure . Carlos Tavares steps down after nearly four years in the top spot of the automaker, which owns car brands like Jeep, Citroën and Ram, amid an ongoing struggle with slumping sales and an inventory backlog at dealerships. The world’s fourth-largest automaker’s stock fell 6.3% in Milan. The majority of stocks in the S&P 500 likewise fell, including California utility PG&E. It dropped 3.7% after saying it would sell $2.4 billion of stock and preferred shares to raise cash. Retailers were mixed amid what’s expected to be the best Cyber Monday on record and coming off Black Friday . Target, which recently gave a forecast for the holiday season that left investors discouraged , fell 1.6%. Walmart , which gave a more optimistic forecast, rose 0.3%. Amazon, which looks to benefit from online sales from Cyber Monday, climbed 1.3%. The stock market largely took Donald Trump’s latest threat on tariffs in stride. The president-elect on Saturday threatened 100% tariffs against a group of developing economies if they act to undermine the U.S. dollar. Trump said he wants the group, headlined by Brazil, Russia, India and China, to promise it won’t create a new currency or otherwise try to undercut the U.S. dollar. The dollar has long been the currency of choice for global trade. Speculation has also been around a long time that other currencies could knock it off its mantle, but no contender has come close. The U.S. dollar’s value rose Monday against several other currencies, but one of its strongest moves likely had less to do with the tariff threats. The euro fell amid a political battle in Paris over the French government’s budget . The euro sank 0.7% against the U.S. dollar and broke below $1.05. In the bond market, Treasury yields gave up early gains to hold relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury climbed above 4.23% during the morning before falling back to 4.19%. That was just above its level of 4.18% late Friday. A report in the morning showed the U.S. manufacturing sector contracted again last month, but not by as much as economists expected. This upcoming week will bring several big updates on the job market, including the October job openings report, weekly unemployment benefits data and the all-important November jobs report. They could steer the next moves for Federal Reserve, which recently began pulling interest rates lower to give support to the economy. Economists expect Friday's headliner report to show U.S. employers accelerated their hiring in November, coming off October's lackluster growth that was hampered by damaging hurricanes and strikes. “We now find ourselves in the middle of this Goldilocks zone, where economic health supports earnings growth while remaining weak enough to justify potential Fed rate cuts,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide. In financial markets abroad, Chinese stocks led gains worldwide as monthly surveys showed improving conditions for manufacturing, partly driven by a surge in orders ahead of Trump’s inauguration next month. Both official and private sector surveys of factory managers showed strong new orders and export orders, possibly partly linked to efforts by importers in the U.S. to beat potential tariff hikes by Trump once he takes office. Indexes rose 0.7% in Hong Kong and 1.1% in Shanghai.

CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals have found all manner of ways to lose close games this season. Sunday's 44-38 loss to AFC North rival Pittsburgh can be blamed on a defense that missed tackles and allowed 520 yards of offense, and three turnovers by Joe Burrow. It's become a familiar story in this disappointing season. Cincinnati (4-8) keeps scoring lots of points but can't close out games. Seven of the Bengals’ eight losses this year have been by one score. Burrow has stopped talking about the possibility of going on a run and making the playoffs. He'd just like to win another game or two. “Playoffs are the furthest thing from my mind,” the fifth-year quarterback said. “You never know what can happen, so I’ll keep putting one foot in front of the other and try to be the best player I can be for the rest of the season, week in and week out.” The Bengals allowed Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson to throw for a season-high 414 yards and three touchdowns. After Wilson threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown, the Steelers (9-3) scored on seven of their last nine possessions. They didn't punt until early in the fourth quarter. Burrow lost two fumbles and threw an interception. “We haven’t done enough to earn the win,” coach Zac Taylor said. “It’s a simple as that. It’s nobody else’s fault but our own. We haven’t earned it.” Turnovers aside, Burrow had another strong game, finishing with 28 for 38 for 309 yards with three touchdowns. Burrow is having a great season statistically, and he hasn't hidden his disappointment and frustration about Cincinnati's narrow losses. ... WR Ja'Marr Chase had a touchdown catch to bring his league-leading total to 13. The defense missed tackles and couldn't hold off the Steelers, even with Burrow keeping the game close. It didn’t help that LB Logan Wilson (knee) and DT Sheldon Rankins (illness) had to sit out. The Bengals have allowed 34 or more points six times, including in four of the past five games. Cincinnati became the first NFL team to lose four games in a season in which it scored 33 points or more. RB Chase Brown has been dependable as the featured back since Zack Moss went down with a neck injury. He rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. He also had three catches for 30 yards. The second-year back has 677 yards rushing and six TDs. “He’s really coming along, improving his game every single week,” Burrow said. “Pass game, run game, running hard, understanding his protection responsibilities. He’s a guy that practices hard, plays hard, and a guy you can count on.” The Bengals' coaching staff. Something has got to give. There was no excuse for the defense to play this badly after a bye week. The unit gave up 500-plus yards for the second time this season. None were reported in the game. 30.3 — The average points per game by the Bengals against teams with a .500 or better record this season. They are 0-7 in those games. The Bengals will try to regroup before facing the Dallas Cowboys (5-7) next Monday night.
