Marilyn Monroe dress sells for £2.8m

Over the weekend the very famous white dress worn by Marilyn Monroe was auctioned and was bought for a very cool £2.8m ($4.6m). Possibly one of the most well known dresses in film history! The image of Monroe getting the gust of wind from the subway and blowing her dress up has to be one of the most well known as well.

An unreal amount of money considering it was bought for just $200 dollars and for it to make so much money, just shows how much of a pull Monroe still is in the Hollywood world. I don’t imagine this is something that will ever happen with dresses or any clothes from recent films.

Pottermore

Last week a website with the title Pottermore appeared with coming soon across it and J.K. Rowling’s signature. Leading up to an announcement which you can follow the countdown here. Nobody seems sure at all what the announcement is going to be about, but early talk has stopped rumours of a new book and stated that is not what it is all about. I guess we can still hope a little bit that we are going to get another book.

You can also follow on Twitter the account https://twitter.com/#!/pottermore which has made just two tweets and has over 72,200 followers! It really does just show the power of the internet and social network sites with how fast people heard about ‘Pottermore’ only 3 days and 2 hours to find out what its all about!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 8: What do you think would be your fave lesson

Transfiguration

Mainly because I think it would be cool to turn an object into something different. Plus Professor McGonagall whilst strict does seem very cool at the same time. Being Griffindor’s head of house is a big pull towards that lesson too.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 7: Fave female character and why

Without a doubt my favorite female character is Hermione Granger. She grows so much from the very start of it all until the end. Her intelligence helps out Harry and Ron a lot and they would not have got anywhere without her help. Always coming up with the best ideas and so likable.

After the utter excitement of seeing the first trailer on the big screen for the first time yesterday (it’s attached to ‘Green Lantern’). A second trailer for the most anticipated film of the year has been released, it is another brilliant trailer! Cranking up the anticipation to the release in a months time!

Being a very late comer into the world of Harry Potter I have only seen the Deathly Hallows part 1 on the big screen. I am therefore going to try to get to them all, if it doesn’t sell out of course. I cannot pre-book with the unlimited card!

They are offering tickets to all 7 films for 21 pound or 4 pound each screening!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 6: What house would you want to be in

If you got to choose which Hogwart’s house you were in between, Griffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. That is an easy choice and just has to be Griffindor. The house which values courage, bravery, loyalty, nerve and chivalry. Its mascot is the lion, and its colours are scarlet and gold.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 5: Fave male character and why

My favorite male character has to be Albus Brian Wulfric Percival Dumbledore. He is just such a fantastic character with so much depth and so many levels. It is so easy to love him, particularly in the books. I feel in the films he doesn’t get as much time as he deserved from reading the books. Even when we start to doubt him the Deathly Hallows, we should know better than to doubt a great wizard like Dumbeldore.
