The first trailer, that being a teaser trailer has been released for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ which is going to be Christopher Nolan’s last Batman film in his franchise. If the first two have been anything to go by, we are in for another fantastic journey. This trailer is a very good teaser to the film, as it hardly shows us anything but still makes us wonder what is to come next.
I have just returned from a midnight showing of the second part of the deathly hallows, that being the final Potter film in the franchise. We pick up straight away from where we were left off at the end of part one, and reminded how Voldemort took the Elder Wand from Dumbledore’s grave.

After the return of Lord Voldemort at the end of the Goblet of Fire. We are wondering how the wizarding world are going to react to it all.

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.

The Harry Potter film series has done wonders for the British film industry over the years and also been able to showcase so many talents in the films as well. We certainly do see the best of British in the series. Some with big parts throughout all (or most) of the films. While others have smaller parts, or even just cameos. But they really have been such a credit for showcasing the talent which is on offer in Britain. A lot of the actors and actress are held in high regard in the theatre world.

One minute you love Snape and the next you hate him, you love to hate him and I don’t think anyone but Rickman could have you thinking that about a character.
