Professor Trelawney is one of the most fun characters in the film series, always there to bring some levity when the moment requires it. She taught Divination to Harry and his friends, and they rather cruelly believed her to be a fraud, which wasn't always the case.
Behind the character was the legendary Emma Thompson. An elegant, sophisticated British rose, Thompson has done it all in the world of entertainment. As skilled as a comedian as she is an actor, she's also shown her ability as a screenwriter and author, generally regarded as being one of the greatest female performers of her generation. She's also very highly outspoken on liberal political issues, being a keen supporter of Greenpeace and AIDS awareness campaigns, as well as a strong critic of organized religion. She's also received the impressive sounding title of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
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.
