The character of Katie takes us all by surprise in Harry Potter. She's just sort of there in the background most of the time, never really making a huge impression, and then she almost dies in "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", nearly breaking our hearts in the process.
Georgina Leonidas does a great job of playing the role, particularly in that film, and someone must have noticed because she's currently a regular performer on the stage in London theaters, which are notoriously reserved for more "serious" actors. She's good friends with Jessie Cave from their Harry Potter days, and the two have been known to make the occasional YouTube video together. If you check her out on Instagram you'll find her all grown up with tattoos and attitude - and plenty of pictures of her dog, too!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
