It’s been five years since the last Harry Potter movie hit cinemas, yet somehow the mere mention of the boy wizard still makes fans hyperventilate.

So when that enthusiasm was coupled with the Internet’s love for quirky sci-fi drama Stranger Things, the result was bound to be the best form of viral magic.

A new video has appeared online which imagines a world in which Mike, Dustin and Lucas join forces with Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Eleven and her stash of Eggos face the legendary Professor Snape.

Check out Potter Things in all its glory below:

Adding fuel to the rumours that this year's X Factor has been a fix from start to finish, the latest contestant to leave the show has revealed she had been told her time was up 24 hours before the announcement was made.

Gifty, who lost out to girl band Four of Diamonds on Sunday night, sounded pretty resigned while being interviewed in the aftermath of her departure, and even suggested that there's more to the show than meets the eye.

While viewers and fans of the show were left reeling by the 20-year-old's departure. the aspiring star seemed less stunned and admitted that the result didn't come as a surprise.

During an interview with On Demand Entertainment, the former contestant said: "Oh I knew I was going home, I got told I was going home on the Saturday night, so I knew.”

And yet in spite of this shocking claim, Gifty played down fix rumours, saying: "When it comes to the whole fix allegations I don’t know I can’t say anything, I’m not the producer."

"I feel like the show is what you make of it," she continued. "We just perform and we just have to be great and hope people vote for us."

Gifty's departure was the subject of intense criticism after her own mentor, Simon Cowell, opted to vote her off the show in error – a gaffe for which he has since apologised.

"It was embarrassing and humiliating! That's the nature of live TV but it was horrible," he said. "People should have voted for her that's the way it goes."

Gifty's remarks come after reports that Honey G is being given the royal treatment behind the scenes.

The prospect of seeing a couple hit it off in the First Dates restaurant is one of the main reasons we tune into the popular Channel 4 show because, let's be honest, we have to endure some pretty awkward exchanges for the most part.

After watching one guy play the old 'I've left my credit card at home' trick in the latest episode, viewers were in dire need of a real spark, and thankfully, Ibiba and Aaron delivered on that front.

Hitting it off from the jump, the pair traded compliments and shared pretty intimate details of their lives with one another over dinner before revealing they would love to see each other again.

After getting together and meeting each other's children, the loved-up couple returned to the restaurant to share some pretty exciting news with viewers who championed their union – they're expecting a baby!

And Twitter had an absolute field day.

So, yesterday former Geordie Shore star, Charlotte Crosby, decided to send her fans and followers completely over the edge.

In a move which has gone down like a lead balloon on Twitter, the reality star revealed that she's planning to follow in Vicky Pattison's footsteps and head down under for a fortnight of bushtucker trials.

Confirming speculation last night, 26-year-old Charlotte wrote: "Yep I am going on @imacelebrity. I can't wait. So excited man."

Pumped at the prospect of seeing Charlotte tackle the same trials and tribulations her former co-star Vicky endured in the jungle, fans of the star wasted no time wishing her luck.

But it looks like their well wishes were unnecessary as an hour later Charlotte was forced to admit she had been joking – an admission that didn't sit well with the public.

"Such a funny joke isn't it? You excited your fans you moron," wrote one.

"F*ck sake, already told the girlfriend and she was buzzing and said you will win. Now I got to go break the news now thanks," added another.

But while some followers were clearly fuming, the most optimistic among them suggested Charlotte had merely made the announcement too early and had been forced to retract it.

"I was a little unsure if she was meant to be announcing it this early?" wrote while another remarked: "Are you sure you're not just saying that cos you got in sh*t for tweeting it?"

Hmmm, we might have to watch this space…

We're going to be honest here – when it came to Lady Gaga's Carpool Karaoke, we thought the New Yorker could go one of two ways.

She'd either do a Britney on the whole thing and fail to engage or she'd go hell for leather and blow us all out of the water, and thankfully for everyone it was most definitely the latter.

From giving it absolute socks to Bad Romance and re-enacting the phone call which nabbed her the Superbowl Half-Time Show to revealing she recently got her driving licence, it looks like Lady Gaga seemed pretty chill kicking it with James.

So chill, in fact, she even took control of the wheel for a while…

Look, when it comes to the X Factor, there are a lot of egos to massage, and that's before you even consider the judging panel.

So, it's no real surprise that the contestants who don't make it through to the live shows rarely take it too well, but James Hughes has definitely taken the biscuit.

After making it to the Judge's Houses after performing I'd Rather Go Blind, the Scottish singer failed to impress Nicole with his rendition of Aint No Mountain High Enough.

And it sounds like Nicole's attitude failed to impress poor ol' James.

Lashing out at the judge during an interview with Now magazine at a charity event, he said: "She’s a c**t" She’s so nice on camera, but I felt she had no time for me once they were off."

Casting doubt on Nicole's role in the selection process, James added: "I don’t even think she picked her final three boys!"

Well, good to see James isn't feeling bitter.

When it comes to the do's and dont's of relationships, it seems Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor need a crash course.

Despite insisting they were the real thing during their time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, the reality star couple appear to have seriously struggled after getting back to their normal lives.

"Things on the outside are very different to how they are inside the CBB house and we have kind of got a completely different relationship to what we had in there, so it's back to basics," Marnie recently explained.

In recent weeks, Marnie deleted all trace of Lewis from her Instagram before admitting during an appearance on Loose Women that she had overreacted.

"We had an argument and I deleted every picture of him on Instagram. I was really angry and immature and forgot everyone can look at it." she admitted.

And just days after the social media clear out, Marnie was back Snapchattin' footage of a naked Lewis roaming through her house, so it's no surprise the public are starting to question whether Marnie and Lewis have any idea what they're doing.

Addressing that notion in her latest column for Star magazine, Marnie insists her boyfriend is the one causing issues.

"It's been a difficult week with Lewis and I having a two-day argument, but my friends have been amazing," she wrote.

"I love Lewis, but he needs to make some changes to the way he behaves if he wants our relationship to work," Marnie added.

Can we also suggest ditching the naked Snapchats?

It takes one slick customer to be able to turn the Mean Tweets segments of Jimmy Kimmel Live on someone else, but if anyone can do it, Barack Obama can.

While taking part in the ridiculously popular section of the chat show this week, President Obama deflected insulting tweets like a pro before ripping it out of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

After members of the public blamed their unconditioned hair on the current president and questioned his ability to negotiate a fast food order, the President was hit with a deeply personal remark from none other Donald J Trump.

"President Obama wil go down as perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States," read the tweet.

Facing the camera and reminding everyone just how smooth he really is, President Obama replied: "At least I will go down as a President of the United States."

And with that Twitter fell in love all over again.

 

 

Walk it off Trump, walk it off!

With speculation intensifying over Taryn Manning's addiction issues, the Orange Is The New Black star has decided to address the reports head-on.

According to TMZ, the actress, who plays Tiffany 'Pennsatucky' Doggett in the Netflix original, has acknowledged that a particular media outlet is planning to run a story on her, so decided to beat them at their own game by refusing to hide from the publicity.

"I am truly grateful for what some may call hitting rock bottom. Some days it sucks and some days it sucks worse," she admitted.

Taryn, who will turn 38 next month, is adamant her demons will not get the better of her, adding: "I am not ashamed of this obstacle because I have accepted that it is okay to not be okay."

Paying tribute to her co-stars on the smash-hit prison show, Taryn, who has appeared in numerous box office hits including 8 Mile and Cold Mountain, insisted her personal struggles have not had a negative effect on her professional relationships.

"I've never felt more accepted, forgiven, and supported than during this period of my life. This is not easy," she admitted.

Fair play to her.

With retailers flogging selection boxes in September and department stores unveiling their festive windows in October, it can be fairly easy to assume a Grinch-like attitude when it comes to Christmas.

The older you get the earlier it seems to start, but if there’s one thing that can capture the magic of a childhood Christmas, it’s the Late Late Toy Show.

An Irish institution, the chatshow’s nod to the magic of Yuletide is the one thing that ALWAYS gets the ball rolling for us.

And according to the good folk behind the RTÉ extravaganza, this year’s is set to be the best yet with the Toy Show team already travelling the highways and byways of Ireland in search of the country’s best young performers.

And if that wasn’t enough to reel you in, there’s also whisperings that the more creative among us have been gong hell for leather creating a spectacular opening number.

“This year’s opening number is the most ambitious we have ever staged,” said Late Late Toy Show producer Katherine Drohan

“More than 60 students from IADT Dun Laoghaire are working on special pieces to feature in the opening of the show. Sworn to secrecy, these students have been working tirelessly on the project for weeks now.”

And if we sound excited, we’ve nothing on a certain Mr Tubridy who is ony dying to get stuck in.

“I am tremendously excited to be taking the show on the road again. We did this for the first time last year and we uncovered some hidden gems that we really wouldn’t have discovered had we not taken the Toy Show to them.”

“Their contribution to last year’s show was immense. There is so much untapped talent in this country and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and finding it,” he added.

Auditions will take place at The Imperial Hotel in Cork on October 24, The Ardilaun Hotel in Galway on October 25 and Ballymascanlon House Hotel in Dundalk on October 26.

Oh my God ladies, it’s actually happening!

Since they drunkenly stumbled onto our screen five years ago, Geordie Shore's Gary Beadle and Charlotte Crosby have had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster.

And just when we all thought they had drawn a line under their relationship, they'd stun everyone by giving the dying romance a boot and reinitiating the whole thing.

But it looks like that old cycle may have had its day if Gary's recent comments are anything to go by.

Speaking to NW, the reality star left fans of the show in no doubt that any feelings he's ever had for Charlotte are officially in the past.

Sounding pretty certain he wants Charlotte out of his life for good this time, Gaz said "'I do not want to be associated with her. I don't want to talk to her."

Implying that his time with the former Geordie Shore star was far from happy, he added: "I will never speak to that girl again! I'm done with that part of my life. I'm actually happy."

And, in fairness to Gary, it's not like Charlotte feels any differently.

Commenting on the lad who she insists she once loved during an interview with new! magazine, Charlotte said: "Anyone would be a better person than Gary Beadle. No one can even come close to how much of an evil, vindictive man he is."

"Even a murderer would be better than Gary Beadle. He is the worst, the lowest of the low."

Good to see those two have parted ways on good terms…

With Cillian Murphy leading the way as the notorious Tommy Shelby, the Peaky Blinders was bound to become an instant hit.

But unfortunately for fans of the gritty period drama, it looks Series 4 will not hit screens until late 2017.

Speaking to The Birmingham Mail at the premiere of Free Fire, Cork native Cillian revealed that filming will begin in March 2017, which means the first episode is unlikely to air before next Autumn.

The 40-year-old star explained: “We start shooting the next series next March, I think.”

“The success of it is down to really great writing.  People in America love it, people in Australia love it, people in Poland love it – it’s mad.”

In May, it was announced that two more seasons of family-fuelled Birmingham-based crime would go into production.

The news came after the third series of the show was broadcast worldwide via Netflix.
