Danny Jones Danny Jones Harry Potter themed quiz Manchester Brickhouse Social

Everyone loves a good quiz and while we know there are some non-believers, we think it’s fair to say most people grew up loving Harry Potter. Put those two things together and what do you get? The perfect night out for a Potterphile.

No, we said ‘Potter-phile’.

Manc favourite hangout and popular student spot, Brickhouse Social, has just announced the launch of their new Harry Potter-themed pub quiz, the first of which is set to take place on 4 October.

And just like any good quiz team, any quiz worth its salt needs a good name. Let us introduce you to Brickhouse‘s first-ever ‘Quizitch’ night. Well played — five points to Gryffindor.

Brickhouse Social’s newest pub quiz starts on Wednesday, 4 October.

Playing host to a horde of fantasy trivia nerds (ourselves firmly included) across their three-storey venue, the quiz starts at 7pm and will put Potterheads to the test with several rounds of questions about the famous book and film series devised by their resident Harry Potter expert.

From Azkaban, muggle magic and the Forbidden Forest to Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them, Quizitch is set to be a Potterhead’s dream.

Better still, although it might not quite be the Triwizard Cup, there is going to be a veritable Honeydukes Express’ worth of prizes on offer, including bar tabs, slices of pizza and more.

Last but not least, the best part about this place is that once you’re all quizzed out, you can always head upstairs for a drink on the terrace, shoot some pool on the first floor or dance the night away at the Kable Club down in the basement afterwards.

Tyson Fury and his wife Paris have revealed the name they have given their newborn baby, and it’s a beautiful family tribute.

The beautiful baby boy, who was born 18 September, is their seventh child together.

Today, in an exclusive with OK! Magazine, Paris Fury confirmed that they’ve settled on a name for the tiny new addition.

He is called Prince Rico Paris Fury, but will be known as Rico.

His name is a tribute to Tyson’s cousin Rico Burton, who died after being stabbed outside a bar in Altrincham.

Heavyweight boxer Tyson said at the time that there needed to be higher sentences for knife crime after the death of his cousin, saying: “Life is very precious and it can be taken away very quick, enjoy every moment.”

The baby’s middle name is a tribute to his mum Paris, 32, who has become a national treasure through their Netflix series At Home With The Tysons.

Paris said of the photoshoot: “I love this photo of his beautiful newborn smile. Love all the photos from this shoot.”

At the time of Rico’s birth, a delighted Tyson wrote: “He’s here and he’s perfect @parisfury1.”

All of the Fury’s sons share the same first name of Prince, with Tyson saying: “I’m a king and they’re princes until they earn their rightful name.”

Their other children are Venezuala Lynda, 14; Prince John James, 11; Prince Tyson II, seven; Valencia Amber, five; Prince Adonis Amaziah, four; and Athena Amour, two.

Tyson Fury, originally from Wythenshawe, married Paris in 2018 after they met as teenagers.
