Clearly, Ivo has survived this fate, by eschewing duels (a hurried exit from Czechoslovakia with his family the week after the Russians invaded in 20103 may have helped), sleeping early (a timer plunges all the rooms of his house into darkness at 10 p.
There are charms, there are duels, there are characters travelling through the Floo Network, and there are even some glorious-sounding instances of Polyjuice transformation (I have no idea how that's going to be done in the play, but I can't wait to see it).

There have been major debate-stage duels over health care, taxation, immigration, criminal justice and gun control, but only glancing disagreements about the role of the United States abroad and the proper way to resolve American military engagements in the Middle East and Central Asia.
History is rife with intense rivalries which result in everything from decades of friendly competition to decisive hilltop pistol duels, but perhaps no rivalry is as fresh in the public memory as that between the two giants of the tech world: Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
It's shocking how much less enjoyable the combat is here compared to Avalanche's 2015 Mad Max, where duels on the road would go for several minutes through dazzling storms as vehicles burst into flames, cars smashed into each other, and War Boys leaped from vehicle to vehicle.
Duncan has let his hair grow out extra long and has styled it in dreadlocks, and he typically duels with Poeltl and Aldridge while wearing a pair of camouflage Spurs practice shorts — along with an unmistakably bulky brace he still faithfully slides over his left knee.
Being mayor of New York is, in part, a running series of deals and duels with 51 city council members, five party leaders (one for each borough), a dozen members of congress, 212 state legislators -- and one powerful governor who has the power to make any mayor's life miserable.
It knows exactly where it wants to evoke realism (in those duels, and the stance), and where it doesn't give a shit about what's real (the entire world and story, the fact that you run around battlefields towering over scrubby enemy soldiers), it just wants to fling blood around.
Neither of those sports, however, claim a legacy that traces back to flat-track duels between Harley-Davidson and Indian that were contested in the decades before World War II. In the grandstands and paddock, fans wear hats, shirts and jackets proclaiming their devotion to particular motorcycle manufacturers.
Through it all, Bayard and Herzog follow the trail of the Logos Club, a "Fight Club"-style international organization of rhetoricians — politicians, academics and a criminal or two (the overlap in this novel is considerable) — who stage debate-duels where the loser is at risk of losing various appendages.
The second trilogy, entirely directed by Mr. Lucas, began in 1999 with "The Phantom Menace" (infamous for the minor scandal called Jar Jar Binks) and is pretty much a drag outside of some fleet light-saber duels and the arresting black-and-red patterning that distinguishes one villain.
Based on the reveal trailer, Hogwarts Mystery looks like it touches on many of the elements that make the school experience in the Harry Potter stories so exciting: Classes with teachers you know, clique-y groups of friends and enemies, an ever-growing array of magical abilities, and even wizard duels.
But his 6-7 (4), 26-27, 234-21974, 22014-21 (353), 235-247 comeback victory over Marin Cilic will be one of those duels that will spring to mind very quickly when — sitting near his fireplace in the Swiss Alps — he finally starts looking back instead of forward someday.
In a rematch of a November game at Minnesota in which Russell outscored Andrew Wiggins 12-13 in one of the season's top scoring duels, the Warriors guard got the better of his opponent again, with the Timberwolves standout going for 473 points this time in his team's 19th straight loss.
In a rematch of a November game at Minnesota in which Russell outscored Andrew Wiggins 33-40 in one of the season's top scoring duels, the Warriors guard got the better of his opponent again, with the Timberwolves standout going for 22 points this time in his team's 11th straight loss.
A "spec series" where all the cars are identical, the F2 season is a further showcase of the tremendous AI. Wheel-to-wheel racing is more common and the duels longer-lived in F2 than in F1, so it's a great new option for players who just want a straightforward, cutthroat battle between drivers.
Along with Sombra, the new Arcade is taking the place of Weekly Brawls and introducing brand new ways to play, including 1v1 Mystery Duels, 3v3 skirmishes and a No Limits mode with no hero limit (essentially replacing the old format of Quick Play, which will now have hero limits in the same vein as Competitive).
There's also a history of duels, fisticuffs and other violence among 19th-century congressmen as the country braced for civil war, and a trove of novels including a World War I story, an immigration narrative and a debut set in Ohio (the book is titled "Ohio") that encompasses some of our culture's most intractable problems.
ST. LOUIS — With all of their late drama over five days — a ninth-inning rally on Sunday, nine runs in the final two innings a couple of nights before that — perhaps it was predictable that the Atlanta Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals would push one of their postseason duels beyond the constraints of nine innings.
It generates some pretty extraordinary moments as these larger-than-life figures find each other on the battlefield and engage in duels (or don't accept the offers to duel, in which case the tougher warrior will just try to cut a bloody swath to an enemy general and beat the shit out of them in the mass melee).
Bad boys in leather who could spin up hard drives and ransom data from across the planet with a few opaque, wizardly shell scripts, in green text on black, using knowledge they'd won the hard way from online duels and grimoires — that was the Hollywood myth of the hacker, and the much-less-romantic real hackers loved it, as you'd expect, whatever color their notional hats might be.
But as it unfurled onscreen, with that glorious march of angled, scrolling text, I instinctively sensed how surprisingly similar it felt in spirit to the period Hong Kong epics to which I'd become accustomed -- the Force seeming like an homage to the qigong magic used by my familiar cinematic martial arts masters, the light saber combat a slightly less high-flying version of the duels between the swordsmen I knew from Chinatown screens.
