'Until The End' - Sirius Black






Today I went with my friend Amie to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part Two and I can tell you - it did not dissapoint! It was amazing; emotional, funny, witty and an incredible way to end ten years of magic! I'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say that J.K. Rowling has the most imaginative mind ever created. To come up with Harry Potter and the magic behind him including Hogwarts and the Horcruxes is incredible. There won't be any spoilers in here because I don't want anyone to read them in case they haven't seen the film yet. All that I will say is that I really liked how you learnt more about Snape and his 'story' and that Neville had his time at being the hero. I watched all of the films last week leading up to see the final one today. I watched part 1 last night and was so excited for the film today. I just want to say that J.K's 'big seven' all did such a brilliant job - Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, Ginny and Tom. I love Luna - she is such a great character!

P.S. I also had a lovely lunch at Frankie & Benny's before the film. Such a great day!

HP Premiere Continued

Here's the speeches of J.K. Rowling, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson at the Harry Potter - The Deathly Hallows Part 2 Premiere. Just in case you haven't seen them or want to watch it again (which I did) How amazing is Emma's? I cried when I was watching it on the livestream. If you didn't see my other post click.

'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!

Potterhead.

I thought the official trailer for the new Harry Potter film had actually already been released and I watched it a few times. But yesterday, on both my BT Yahoo homepage, heat.com and twitter, it was saying it had just been released. So being the curious me, I clicked on the link whilst thinking: where have they been for the past few weeks, stuck down a hole? Anyway, I watched it and it's actually quite different from the one I had already watched. I'm not really sure which one is the official 'official' one - if you get what I mean. (I won't be surprised if you don't, I don't understand myself sometimes haha) They're both really good!

This just made me more excited for the film release in July! I would say I'm a fan even if I haven't read the books - for some reason, I just couldn't 'get' into them. It was probably because three of the films had already been released when I tried to read them. It's so weird to think that it's coming to an end now, how long has it been ten years or something? Wow. Anyway for my lovely bloggers, here are both in case you've only seen one or the other :)
