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.







Film and Theatre Lover!

This may seem a rather controversial post considering Draco is Harry Potter’s enemy, but is it really as extreme as that was the years pass and things change at Hogwarts? I am not really sure how this post will go down with people in all honesty as at times it probably does seem crazy to feel sorry for Draco.
I must obviously state that this post does contain SPOILERS

Possibly the best character in the whole Harry Potter series. As we do not know whether he is good or bad, throughout the entire series. When we think he is good he seems to do something to make us think he is bad. Then when he seems bad and evil something else happens to change our minds again. Severus Snape is the most complex character and the mystery of it all really does keep us hanging on right until the very end. We do not find out the truth until we get to the Prince’s tale.

No-one could have taken the role on the way Alan Rickman did. He really became Snape bringing him to life and the delivery of the lines are just so perfect. I just love the way he speaks and sounds so awkward at times.
I think I started the 30 day Harry Potter challenge at just the right time, to have it finishing days before the final film is released in theatres. I found it very good going through each day and deciding my favorite or least favorite characters and things about the franchise. A very good challenge for any Potter fan to have a look back at everything about the series.
I also feel a certain sense of achievement by finishing the 30 day challenge. I tried a normal film one a couple of months back and it totally failed at about 14 days. So a good achievement right in time for the final film coming out in two days . . . or three days.

I think it made me realise how incredible books can be if they are written in such a fantastic way and how much you can fall in love with a different world. You are taken on an amazing journey and can relate to everything the three main characters go through and how difficult it really is growing up. The things you are put through at school and what everything means to you as you do grow.
We love Hogwart and wish we could have gone to school there and that magic and wizards are actually real. It is incredible how J.K. Rowling managed to create all of this in such incredible depth.
I have not seen any of ‘A Very Potter Musical’
I have never listened to Wizard Wrock . . .
Without a doubt the invisibility cloak . . . the things you could find out and do without anyone having any idea of what you are up to. I think that would just be the best thing!

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