RIP Dame Maggie Smith

Rest in peace to a true British treasure and incredible actress Dame Maggie Smith, who has sadly passed away at the age of 89. First brought to my attention as a kid in Sister Act and then I have just loved the many different projects she has been in over the years. She will be most well known for her roles in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey. I also love to remember her small role in First Wives Club as it never fails to make me smile. A double Oscar winner for her performances in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in a leading role and in California Suite in a supporting role.

Thoughts go out to her family ❤️

RIP Robbie Coltrane

More sad news this evening as it was announced that at the age of 72, Robbie Coltrane has passed away. Most well known for his role as Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series, he had a career that spanned decades and across both film and television.

The Best Film Related Christmas Jumpers!

Over the past few years I have found myself buying a new Christmas jumper, mainly for Christmas Day each year and have gone for film related ones in recent times. Although rather disappointing when hardly anyone actually knew that my Golden Girls jumper was in fact the Golden Girls. You can get some outstanding ones now which is why I decided to put together this blog post to highlight just how amazing some of the Christmas jumpers are and they appeal to pretty much every single fandom! Whatever you love the most you are guaranteed to find a jumper for that somewhere!

You can get a lot that are in sweatshirt style but I still personally prefer the proper trashy jumper style and when you add in film they really do have some great levels of detail on them.

7 Films Based on Books – #WorldBookDay

Today is World Book Day and what better way to celebrate on a film blog than putting together a list of 7 films that are based on books? I thought it was a great idea too, the thing with the list though is that I have to have read the book and seen the film for it to make the list.

Here are my choices . . .

LFCC – Devon Murray

Devon Murray was well and truly part of the Harry Potter crew playing Seamus Finnigan in all of the films! With him being a smaller guest in terms of numbers for the photoshoot he was able to chat a little bit more, he told me I was dressed appropriately  for the venue (it was so hot and I was wearing shorts and a vest). He was also involved with scarves and wands with the people in front of me!

The one and only Draco Malfoy aka Tom Felton! The Harry Potter star has also starred in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Origin, A United Kingdom and Stratton.

Since my announcement post back in March (here) I have spent a lot of time glued to the Showmasters forum and Twitter feed for any more announcement of guests that I would just love to meet and gaining understanding of how a Comic Con works. It does sound totally nuts at times but I am sure I can survive and work it all out!

I have now booked more photoshoots to go along with the Jason Momoa and I am now going on the Saturday as well!

LEGO: Harry Potter Characters

Brand new releases from Lego so with being in London I queued to get in the Lego shop and decided to buy a few. I had started by trying to see if I could work out who Dumbledore was . . . But after a few minutes I decided to just go full on pot luck and picked four different packets.
