Harry Potter fans have often wondered what the delicious sounding Butterbeer beverage from the Hog's Head tasted like.

Or at least, we have anyway.

The Warner Brother studios in London made muggles dreams come true by creating the drink, and now Butterbeer ice cream has appirated into existence.  

Yuengling's ice cream have brought out a Butterbeer flavour of their delightful frozen treat, and we're pretty much drooling. 

"Have you heard the news!? Butterbeer and Strawberry are our new flavors for 2017!" reads a post on the brand's Instagram.

"Indulge on Butterbeer Ice Cream, made from half butter cream ice cream, half butterscotch ice cream with a butterscotch swirl."

It's made up of half buttercream ice cream and half butterscotch ice cream, and sounds completely delish. 

Unfortunately it's currently only available in America, but hopefully their trend will catch on here ASAP.

It’s been a big weekend for celebrity baby news with Amanda Seyfried and husband, Thomas Sadoski welcoming their first child together; and after much speculation, Cheryl and Liam Payne announced to fans that they had welcomed a baby boy.

Well, now it’s the turn of Benedict Cumberbatch and his wife, Sophie Hunter, who have reportedly welcomed their second child.

While the pair are yet to confirm the news, it’s being reported that Sophie gave birth to the couple’s second son at Portland Hospital in London on March 3.

The newborn is said to be named after a Shakespearean hero, one that was portrayed previously by Benedict’s close friend, Tom Hiddleston.

Hal was the nickname given to Henry V, who Tom Hiddleston played in the 2012 production of The Hollow Crown alongside Benedict himself, who played Richard III.

The newborn’s unique name is sure to inspire a trend this year.

Benedict, 40, and Sophie, 39, have been friends for years but announced they were engaged in 2014.

The pair are already parents to son, Christopher, who now becomes big brother to baby Hal Auden Cumberbatch.

So, the clocks are going forward on Sunday, and we're losing an hour of sleep but gaining a fine stretch to the evening. 

The weather is officially warming up this weekend, and we want to take the opportunity to live a little.

Here's a few suggestions for things to do now that the clocks are going forward. 

5, Hit up a food festival

Dublin's Eatyard has become a hub of delicious food, drinks and fun, with a complimentary medley of authentic cultural cuisine, flea market finds and a laid-back atmosphere.

The food festival is located by the Bernard Shaw on Richmond Street South, and now that the days are getting longer, there is a plethora or time to spend mooching and munching your way around the stalls.

And the light will be better for amazing foodie Instagram pictures, obviously. 

4. Have a garden party

Get the girls around for a few Tom Collins cocktails and lay out some blankets, poofs and throws in the garden to create your own uber-cool laid-back mini-festival.

You could even string some fairy lights through the trees if you are feeling fancy.

3. Dining al fresco

Drag the kitchen table outside and dine al fresco, or even rev up the barbecue and grill a few burgers.

While the weather may not be perfect, we better make the most of it while we can!

2. Go for that epic day trip you've been meaning to take

Whether it's a trip to Lahinch to try your hand at surfing or finally heading up to the Giant's Causeway like you've always wanted, those extra hours of daylight make all the difference when you have a long drive to take across the country. 

1. Explore your city

Seriously, you've lived in your town for how long and you haven't quite managed to see al the parks, beaches and activities it ahs to offer.

Getting that extra stretch in the evenings is the perfect excuse to take a picnic to the park or cycle around your city to truly appreciate your area.
