The Final Potter Premiere

Yesterday evening saw the final Harry Potter premiere take place in Trafalgar Square, with what was possibly the biggest red carpet ever linking to Leicester Square. The premiere was broadcast live around the world, and yes I did find myself watching for a few hours. It was a very emotional experience for everyone involved, even watching it all unfold. The cast members were clearly overwhelmed by the amount of fans who were stretched around the stages and red carpet. Such unbelievable scenes in London. All of the cast members spent plenty of time signing autographs and posing for photographs.

Watching live we had interviews and words from all of the different cast members. To finish with we had the three biggest stars of the films, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Joined by J.K. Rowling herself and the films producers. This lead to emotional speeches taking place and causing each other to get emotional and the tears began to flow. The realisation that this was the last time they would ever have a world premiere for a Potter film and they would never experience anything like that ever again.

This time next week I would have seen the film already for myself as attending a 00:05 showing on Friday 15th July. What I am seeing as a brilliant start to my birthday weekend. Although if my worst crying moment in the books is put into the film in more of a visual way I may indeed leave the cinema in pieces. I am looking forward to the film, but at the same time I really do not want it to be over at all.

Harry Potter style 3D Glasses

When myself and my friend went to the cinema on Sunday to see Bridesmaids, we were very excited to see the Harry Potter style 3D glasses on sale. I had heard rumours that they were going to be available due to the final film being in 3D form. But that was the first I had actually seen them. So we decided to buy them despite the fact that we don’t really want to see the film in 3D or actually big fans of the 3D film! But we could not resist getting them! We then sat before the film started and took pictures in them, convinced that the other people in the cinema must have thought we were sat in the wrong screen with Bridesmaids not being in 3D . . . You even get a little bag to keep them in 🙂

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 26: If you could be able to work one spell without a wand what would it be

Expecto Patronum to create a Patronus would probably be one of the best spells to be able to use without a wand!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 25: Nineteen years later. Are you happy how it turned out, or do you wish something was different

In all honesty I am not entirely sure if I was completely happy with it all. I was never a big fan of Harry and Ginny together to find out they stayed together all of those years. But I guess it was a nice way to tie everything all up. But maybe a few years later rather than 19 years later would have been a little bit better? Or just leaving it all for us to decide what happened to them all would have been another option. But Rowling does have the whole Harry Potter world stories so I guess she knows best!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 24: Any particular scene you wished would have been put in the movie but it wasn’t

I wish we could have had the whole prefect story-line in the films as I felt it was a very important part in the book, just showing something that caused some friction between Harry/Ron and Hermione. As it did give a little edge between them and made sense of why Harry had felt a little more alone. I can understand why they took this out as a prefect would not travel well to different countries as I am assuming it is a very English school thing!

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 23: Any part of the books/movies that makes you cry

The worst part of the books which made me cry had to be the death of both Tonks and Lupin. It really had me sobbing as they had become my favorite relationship in the books and was so shocked when they died. It was not a nice moment at all. But then to have that followed by the truth about Snape, I found myself crying constantly whilst reading the last book. Everyone just seemed to be getting killed off! But the Tonks/Lupin was the worst crying moment, I just hope I will be able to hold myself together whilst watching the final film.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 22: Harry Potter or Twilight

No contest at all it has to be Harry Potter. Twilight should not even be mentioned alongside Potter! They do of course have one person in common and that’s Robert Pattinson who has appeared in both franchises. Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and Edward Cullen in the Twilight saga.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 21: Out of all the characters that died, if you could bring one back, who would it be

Without a doubt I would bring back Sirius. I thought he gave Harry more hope than anyone ever has, and he was again taken away too soon. Such an incredible character in the short time he was with us in the books/films. He had passion and cared very deeply for Harry. Even if he did keep forgetting that he was not actually his best friend James.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 20: If you had to meet one member of the cast, who would it be

Alan Rickman

He would be my choice of the cast member I would love to meet. He is such a fantastic actor and has done so many great films, with incredible performances. How many different roles he has taken on over the years and how he became Snape. Exactly as you would picture Snape.

Harry Potter Challenge – Day 19: Do you prefer the books or films

This is such an easy choice, it has to be the books! While the films are very good adaptations of the books, it is just not the same. You fall in total love with the books and the characters, everything about them are just incredible. So much depth is placed in the Harry Potter world.

The magic of the books make you have your favorite characters and moments. You care deeply for the characters and what happens to them. Which I felt made the last book so much more difficult at times. We grow so attached to the characters and to the Harry Potter world.
