Film and Theatre Lover!
Harry Potter (Radcliffe) is a legend in the Wizarding world, yet he had no idea he was a Wizard until his eleventh birthday when Hagrid (Coltrane) turns up after problems with his Hogwarts letter.

It was all about The King’s Speech last night at the BAFTA’s and it was Colin Firth’s night. Taking home the best actor BAFTA for the second year running! So pleased to see him getting award recognition now, he really does deserve it he is such a fantastic actor.
This has to be good news for all of those involved in the Harry Potter franchise as they have been snubbed with so many awards over the years. This announcement comes a few days after news of some of the cast members being disappointed that the films have not received anything on the awards front. Ideally the BAFTA awards should be the ones to reward Harry Potter. As it really has done wonders for the British film industry!
The cast and crew behind the HARRY POTTER franchise are to be honoured with a special award at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) prizegiving.
Potter author J.K. Rowling and producer David Heyman will accept the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema trophy at the ceremony later this month (Feb11).
The hit films, about a boy wizard played by Daniel Radcliffe, will be recognised for showcasing British talent and providing a vast array of jobs for thousands of workers in the U.K.
Radcliffe says, “I am thrilled that the Harry Potter film series is being honoured with this award. I have loved every minute of making these films and to me the real heroes are the crew and the huge team of craftsmen that have made all eight of them possible – this award is a testament to their incredible work.”
After my cinema trip on Tuesday to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I . . . I placed an order for the full collection of the books. I have never read any of them before, but friends who are massive fans of the books have told me to read them for years now. I have eventually decided that it would be a very good idea to read them!
So I have set myself the goal to read all seven books before Part II of the Deathly Hallows is released in July . . . the day before my birthday! I think I will also treat myself to the blu ray collection which can be bought for around 25 pound at the moment. Which is brilliant for 6 films on blu ray.
Any big Harry Potter books fans out there?
