It seemed like Harry Potter was exploding all over again before Christmas, and we have to say, we were a little bit disappointed when it came to the lack of HP movies on TV over the holidays.

But if you fancy getting into the wizarding spirit once again, you can go on this deadly pub crawl.

Many of these Harry Potter pub crawls have taken place in the UK, with it being sold out in the likes of Liverpool, London and Manchester, and now according to the Facebook event page, it's coming to Dublin and promises to be "the most magical event" to take place in the capital this year.

The crawl will take place on February 17, with tickets selling for €7.

If growing up has taught us anything, it's that blue food is NOT good.

Because let's be honest, if food is blue, it's usually full of sugar, food colouring and those nasty E numbers we're told to always stay away from.

So, when we first saw a blue latte, we thought, 'this can't be good for you', but… it's actually quite the opposite.

As advertised in the Cracked Nut in Dublin, this blue algae latte is super rich in nutrients, full of protein, vitamins and minerals, so… it's pretty extremely healthily.

And, what's actually in it? The so-called smurf latte is made up of lemon, ginger, agave, almond milk, and E3 live algae.

Also… imagine how good your Instagram game would be with a blue coffee in the shot?

Around 2,500 people queued for Christmas food parcels at the Capuchin Centre in Dublin in freezing temperatures this morning.

The queue, which began before 8am, stretched down the street and around the corner and included elderly people and children.

The shocking number of people on the breadline was no surprise to Brother Kevin Crowley, who runs the centre.

“Last year we gave out about 2,500 parcels but this year I think it will probably go over 3,000,” he told the Irish Times. 

“It is shocking, but I am not surprised. What is really appalling to see is the number of children coming here, mothers with children."

Each person in the queue will receive two blue plastic bags, one of perishable foods like bread and milk, and one of imperishable items like tinned beans, tea and sugar. 

Yesterday President Michael D Higgins visited the Capuchin Day Centre to commend the volunteers packing the parcels for their hard work.

Receivers appointed over Apollo House in Dublin City have launched High Court action aimed at regaining possession of the property and vacating the current residents.

The Apollo House office building, which previously stood empty, is currently being occupied by the Home Sweet Home coalition of housing activists and homeless people.

The building is currently operating to capacity, and provides food and shelter to those in need.

Last night, a notice of eviction was tied to the gates of the building, requesting that the current residents vacate the premises.

The receivers, who were appointed by NAMA, believe there are serious health and safety concerns about the Tara Street premises and that it is unfit for residential use, according to RTE.

Today the High Court will hear that there are concerns about electricity, sanitation, water and  fire safety, and will decide whether or not to force the occupiers to vacate.

The serving of papers came just hours after Glen Hansard, Hozier and members of Kodaline performed at the building to hundreds of people who turned out in support of the "act of civil disobedience." 

The building is set for demolition in the new year, as it is part of a €50,000,000 plan of redevelopment for the area.

Dublin City Council has given the green light to plans to demolish Apollo House.

The Apollo House office building, which previously stood empty, is currently being occupied by the Home Sweet Home coalition of housing activists and homeless people.

The building is currently operating to capacity, and provides food and shelter to those in need 

The Tara Street building is part of a €50,000,000 plan, set in motion back in June, for redevelopment of the area, which will include new offices and a public plaza.

Hawkins House next door may also be redeveloped. 

"It's right and appropriate the artist community are standing up and saying we need to change our ways so everyone can live in this city…It's impossible to live at the moment. You can’t rent here,"  said Green Party leader Eamon Ryan.

He believes that while the occupation of the site would not solve the homeless crisis, it was a step in the right direction.

"It's is a symbolic step, but an important step to say we need to be doing more."

The Home Sweet Home volunteers are currently sheltering up to 35 occupants a night at Apollo House, but say that their capacity could be increased to 60. 

People have taken to Twitter to express their outrage over the demolition plans.

According to the Dublin Inquirer, plans are being drawn up to improve the Temple Bar area of Dublin.

Temple Bar has had a number of issues throughout the years, from badly lit areas, to rough and broken grounds and has been named on of the worst areas for anti-social behaviour in the past.

Temple Bar Strategy

Dublin City Council is trying to change this, and on Monday, landscape architect Daibhi McDomhnaill, presented a mock plan for the renovation of the visitor favourite.

Some of the plans presented included the replacing of cobblestones and a new surface for cyclists; removing the footpaths; improving accessibility and putting in adequate illumination; an increase of public seating and increasing the greenery in the area.

Temple Bar Greening

According to the website: “A design team should be appointed by early next year, and then later any plans will go out to public consultation."

It'll be interesting to see the changes being made to the area.
