On today's edition of MarketFoolery, the daily podcast from The Motley Fool, we discuss the following topics:

  • After reporting great earnings late last week, Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) unveiled News Badges.  Will turning the act of reading a news article into a gaming experience help or hurt the search giant.
  • The latest (and final) Harry Potter film took in $475 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing opening weekend in movie history. So what does that mean to the bottom line of Time Warner (NYSE: TWX)? Our analysts talk about the business of Potter and which film franchise they'd take to the proverbial desert island.
