OPN 210126 EDIT — LAST THING LEBANON NEEDS IS CORONAVIRUS- RELATED VIOLENCE: Protesters in Lebanon clashed with police in the northern city of Tripoli on Monday night, furious at a full lockdown the government has ordered to contain an alarming rise in COVID-19 cases.

While we wait for some concrete news, one can only hope the wizarding world opens up once again for a new adventure to entice the next generation of fans.
