00:03A Derbyshire YouTube star is bringing a little magic to the high street this weekend as she

00:07opens a shop inspired by the wizarding world of Harry Potter, stoking huge interest among

00:12her online audience of almost one million followers.

00:16Matlock resident Cherry Wallace, who's 34, has spent six months stirring away at the

00:20Lost Cauldron on Matlock Green, ready for a spellbinding grand opening on Saturday.

00:25She said,

00:26It's probably the hardest, most challenging passion project I've ever taken on.

00:30I have visited lots of magical shops to make videos over the years, showing my audience

00:34these beautiful places.

00:36I always feel happy in them, so I created my dream shop.

00:39Cherry, who has been filming with many of the famous names associated with Hogwarts,

00:44said it was a mix of witchcraft and Harry Potter, a little bit of everything that might

00:48appeal to people who love the wizarding world, and things you won't see in any other shops.

00:55A Derbyshire boy with an unusual talent for mimicking seagulls has brought a gold medal

00:59home to the landlocked Chesterfield after seeing off opposition from all over Europe.

01:04Nine-year-old Cooper Wallace soared to victory in the European Gull Screeching Championships

01:08in Belgium at the weekend, where he was the first ever UK competitor.

01:13Cooper not only won the Juvenile section, but earned the highest marks in the competition,

01:17outstripping contestants in the Adult and Colony sections.

01:21Cooper, who lives in Newbold, said,

01:23I was a bit nervous.

01:24I thought they were cheering because they wanted me to stop, and then I realised they

01:27were all smiling and cheering me on to keep going.

01:29It was awesome.

01:30From Chesterfield!

01:31Cooper Wallace!

01:32Hi Cooper.

01:33There you are.

01:34Okay.

01:35Cooper, do you like seagulls?

01:36Yeah.

01:37Awesome.

01:38Are you ready, Cooper?
