For some time now comparisons between the "Harry Potter" saga and chase of Osama Bin Laden have been mentioned and, as the final movie readies for release and the word of Osama's death spreads, the story's inevitable subtext has come to light once more.

As The Hollywood Reporter notes, the first of the Potter movies, "Sorcerer?s Stone," was released in November 2011 (just months after 9/11), in which the ongoing conflict between Harry and the evil force bent on destroying him, Lord Voldemort, was revealed.

Previously touted as "He Who Must Not Be Named," Voldermort was first put forth as a somewhat unknown entity, much like Osama, until a course of events ensued in which he takes on a more physical and prevalent presence, which comes to a head in the last volume as he and Potter battle it out in a seismic one-on-one fight.

Those who've carried with the saga and who have also been exposed to Hollywood's renditions of the 9/11 tragedy, along with the race to find Bin Laden, can notice inevitable similarities between Harry's reluctant quest to defeat the evil force and America's quest to find it's public enemy number one.

Whether those echoes actually shadow a link between the series and the death of Osama is unknown, however, the theory will undoubtedly rev up even more interest in what is expected to be one the biggest blockbusters of the summer.

Nick Cannon is one happy daddy! The America's Got Talent host and wife Mariah Carey joyfully welcomed twins -- a boy and a girl -- on their third wedding anniversary Saturday.

"I'm in the happiest place I've ever been in my life," Cannon, 30, twittered Sunday. "I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God's Favor!"

Carey, 42, delivered the babies, whose names have not yet been released, in a Los Angeles hospital, as her smash hit "We Belong Together" played in the delivery room. The baby girl, who weighed in at 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and measured 18 inches long was first to arrive. Her brother followed, tipping the scales at 5 pounds 6 ounces, and measuring 19 inches long.

To add to the celebration, the happy couple continued their tradition of renewing their vows -- and Rev. Al Sharpton even came the the hospital to help them out!

"I am just leaving Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. She had twins yesterday on their 3rd anniversary. I had prayer with them and the babies," Sharpton twittered Sunday. "I also conducted the renewal of their vows and the blessing of the newborn twins. Mariah looks GREAT, and the babies are beautiful."

Celebrity pals of the couple were also quick to send their congratulations to the new parents.

"Congratulations Mariah & Nick!!!!!!!!!" singer Nicki Minaj posted on Twitter. "The twins have finally landed on earth!!! Yaaayyyyy!!!!!"

Katy Perry sent her love, as well, chiming in on the babies' nursery. "I hope that Hello Kitty room is BEYOND!"

We can't wait to hear what these already-famous kids are going to be called!
