Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Thursday, December 28. All times are Eastern.
Movie Night With Karlie Kloss: Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (Freeform, 6:30 p.m.): At any given time, on any given day, the channel formerly known as ABC Family (f.k.a. Fox Family Channel, f.k.a. The Family Channel, f.k.a. “flipping past The 700 Club to get to Nickelodeon”) is showing one of the eight entries in the Harry Potter series of films. Sometimes they’re showing out of order, sometimes it appears that another channel has secured the cable rights for one of the middle films—but always, there’s a Harry Potter movie playing. Recognizing that fantastical tales of wizards, witches, mythical beasts, and epic battles between good and evil might not be enough anymore, tonight’s presentation of the franchise’s worst installment—Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets, where there’s a flying car, an origin story, a giant snake, and little else—is also the launch of Movie Night With Karlie Kloss, in which the supermodel/coder invites some famous friends to chit-chat and play games during breaks from the film. And if for some reason you miss it, don’t fret: Believe it or not, the far superior Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban is on deck for tomorrow night.

Wild card
Apple Music’s Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: A Bad Boy Story (Fox, 8 p.m.): Sean “Diddy” Combs didn’t become 2017’s highest paid musician and a prospective NFL owner by passing up on a promotional opportunity when he sees one. Case in point: This special presentation of the Bad Boy Records retrospective/reunion-tour film boasts an in-title reminder of the exclusive home for a commercial-free, streaming version of Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. Though, if you watch it that way, you’re bound to miss a few promos for The Four, Fox’s new music competition whose judge’s panel includes, you guessed it, Diddy. Trying to get your hands on some Grants like Horace? There are probably some tips to be found in Can’t Stop Won’t Stop—the content, as well as the packaging.
"Veronica?" he whispered.
She straightened up as much as she could in the uncomfortably tight ropes, and sent him a lazy smirk, her fangs on full display. A smirk he had seen countless times before almost twenty years ago, and it made his heart drop to see it again.
“Miss me, Moony?”
Veronica Kade was three years old when her family was murdered by hunters right above her head, and she was taken in by Minerva McGonagall. She was eleven years old when she met four mischevious boys who changed her life forever. She was fourteen years old when she was the victim of a Time Turner accident and got stuck in limbo. She is still fourteen years old when she finally escapes and returns to her life, except now it is twenty years into the future. Veronica has some serious catching up to do. To make matters worse, the muggle hunter clan who killed her family, the DuCharmes, have begun killing vampires throughout the UK, and seem to be headed right for Hogwarts.
Now, Veronica has to deal with her entire life being fast forwarded twenty years, survive a group of hunters hell bent on finishing off the Kade family, and compete with Hermione and Draco in every single class. What's a teenage vampire to do?
Of course, the experience doesn't come cheap. In order for you and your sweetie to spend Valentine's Day like Ron and Hermione, it will set you back a whopping $660 — and that doesn't even include airfare or lodging for those not based in the London area. However, your money does include quite a bit: according to Elite Daily, the ticket price covers cocktails, dinner and dessert, the tour, and a complimentary photo that's sure to make all of your friends permanently jealous.
