'Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home' - J.K. Rowling

I'm feeling very nostalgic and actually quite sad. I've just spent the last three/four hours watching the last ever premiere of the Harry Potter films. It may be 'sad' (not the emotion) that I've actually done that but to me it's history. I've never read the books because once, years and years ago, I began to read the first one but being quite young I just couldn't get into it. But now, I'm determined to read them sometime. The films, J.K. Rowling's books and the franchise that has surrounded Harry Potter has been my childhood. I've grew up with going to the cinema for the next installment of the films and I'm actually quite sad that 'it's the end.'

Emma Watson - looking gorgeous - at the premiere

If you get to catch any highlights of the premiere - you must see them. Emma Watson's speech made me cry, it was really emotional! I'm so excited for the last film and can't wait to see it. I wish I had all of the films on DVD because all I want to do is watch all of them back to back. It would be past dawn by the time I finished - but who the hell cares? It's Harry Potter! In fact it would be way past dawn that I would spend all day tomorrow watching them too. I now know where the next lot of money I get is going towards.

I'm going to add this photo in too because I quite fancy Tom Felton right now!

Anyone else a fan? I definitely am and apparently the last film is amazing! I love the magic that surrounds it and wouldn't mind being Hermione for a few days :)

Daniel Radcliffe, the whizz kid himself, at the premiere

As Daniel Radcliffe said 'I don't think the end of the story happens tonight, because each and every person, not only in this square but also watching around the world, who will see this film and who have followed these films over the last ten years, will carry this story with them through the rest of their lives, and it will affect what they do.' 

... and guess what? He's right!

  1. I'm so sad that it's all coming to an end. It's been around for so long that it's going to be so strange when no more are made. I've read a review that says the last film is amazing so I'm really glad they did it justice.

    P.s I, too, would love to be Hermione/Emma for a day :)

  3. I almost burst into tears at Emma's speech. The whole thing was just so emotional. I just can't believe that it's finally all over. The final premiere. But, like Daniel said, it's never really over :)

  5. I feel a little sad, too. I'm really excited to see the final movie, however, and I think that everyone looked amazing at the premier, especially the actress who plays Luna.

  6. I watched the entire thing LIVE. I wish I could be there in person.
    And It made me sad. Why do all good things have to end so soon?
