Harry Potter Turns 20! Here's 20 Things You Might Not Know About The Series...
It's official peeps! The Harry Potter first entered our lives a whopping 20 years ago today!
Yep, the very first book in the series and the one that had us all hooked, 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' was first published today back in 1997. Don't worry we've checked the dates and despite only feeling like a few years ago, 1997 is now in fact 20 years ago. Let that settle in for a moment...
To honour the beginning of Harryâs magical journey, we're now giving you guys 20% off ALL Harry Potter Merchandise on our site using code 'HARRY20'. Limited time only peeps! Yep this code will stop working at midnight Tuesday 27th June so be quick!
Celebrating this spellbinding occasion, we thought we would take a little walk through the magical world of Harry Potter and pluck out our favourite 20 facts about the Harry Potter book series you might not have heard before. Enjoy!
1. There are only 500 first-edition copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in existence: around 350 hardback copies, and 150 proof copies.
2. The conductor and driver of the Knight Bus â Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang â are named after Rowling's grandfathers.
Autobots, Roll Out! Our Top Reasons We're Hyped For Transformers: The Last Knight...
Transformers fans rejoice! This week sees the release of the long awaited new film Transformers: The Last Knight and expectations are suitably high!
Humans are at war with the Transformers, and Optimus Prime is gone. The key to saving the future lies buried in the secrets of the past and the hidden history of Transformers on Earth. Now, it's up to the unlikely alliance of Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Bumblebee, an English lord (Anthony Hopkins) and an Oxford professor (Laura Haddock) to save the world.
Any other plot details are being kept under lock and key but trailers of Optimus Prime fighting Bumblebee has got everyone talking, why are they at war with each other? Could the leader of the Autobots have turned to the dark side? There have been multiple tag lines used on various promotional material for this new film such as 'Rethink your heroes', 'Every legend hides a secret' and 'For One World To Live, The Other Must Die'. These cryptic clues have got us very excited and we can't wait to find out the true story!
It's been reported that this is the last Transformers film that Michael Bay will direct and also rumoured to be following him out the door is Mark Wahlberg, so will the next film follow a new direction? Either way, Transformers and Michael Bay go hand in hand so enjoy his last film in the franchise while you can! He recently said in an interview "Iâve done it enough, and Iâve had a great time doing it. Iâm going out with a bang on this one, and I feel like you gotta go out while youâre ahead, you know." which all sounds positive for an action packed film!

Not All Heroes Wear Capes! Our Top REAL Superhero Dads...
With Father's Day juuuust around the corner (June 18th... have we mentioned our Father's Day Gift guide yet??), we've been chatting, shopping, writing and all other things Dad lately!
One thing we've been picking up on a lot lately as a result is that, as kids, maybe even as adults, many children believe their own dads are the real superheroes of the world. They are the strongest, fastest, best at everything and no one else will convince you otherwise. Right? We think all good dads are real superheroes, and to show this we've compiled some of our favourite real-life superhero moments from some amazing Dads. Enjoy!
Spidey senses are tingling...
Legends has it, some dads were raised in the wild in the snowy mountains and left to fend for themselves. This man of nature has developed a sharp eye with reactions to rival a racing snake...
Father's Day gift? As you can see, this Dads Spidey senses are as fine-tuned as a string quartet giving him the ability to sense danger and react in the nick of time. Surely our Spider-Man merchandise is the ONLY gift for this dad.
