I am a massive fan of Harry Potter and on the eve of the very last film hitting our screens, I thought I’d dedicate a post to the amazing decade of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I am 21 years old and of similar ages to Daniel, Emma and Rupert. I remember Blue Peter promoting auditions for Hermione all those years ago and since then, I guess I was hooked. I remember my mum trying to convince me to go for auditions, looking back, I kind of wish I did! Not that I would have got anywhere, but just to of been part of it all.
I have just finished watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1. I have watched all of the films this week in preparation for tomorrow, cuddled up in bed and mouthing the words. I think that each film has got better as time has gone along. I love that the films have grown with the characters. The Philosopher’s Stone being a proper kid’s film and The Deathly Hallows Part One being a more complicated and dark film.
JK Rowling earned a degree in French and Classics at University and started writing Harry Potter during a delayed train journey from Manchester to London. I think this is hugely inspirational as she didn’t study particularly to write novels, yet she has now sold more than 400 million copies of a book known worldwide. Not only did JK Rowling write Harry Potter but she also invented new words, games and a whole other world. I admire her “Rags to Riches” story; once upon a time she was claiming benefits and within 5 years she was a multi-millionaire. She proves that if you put mind to something, anything is a possibility.
I wasn’t able to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2’s premier live as I was at the theatre, but reading about it after actually brings tears to my eyes; and this photo in particular:
I think that, despite being in front of the camera for 10 years and earning huge amounts of money, the famous trio still seem down to earth and hugely appreciative of their fans. It may sound horrible, but I think there's something quite nice about seeing them all emotional because it shows how much they care for the films and how sad they are that it's all ending. I think that as they care for the films is one of the many reasons as to why the fans are so dedicated. How times have changed:
I could go on and on about how much I love Emma, Daniel and Rupert and how I love the films, I won't though. I am going see the film tomorrow at 8pm and as always I will be writing a review on it. This may sound weird, but I don't feel prepared for it all to end. Harry Potter ending, for me, is like leaving school or saying good bye to someone you love. I was excited about seeing the film, and I still am, but now I am mainly sad. I know for a fact that I will cry, it will be loud and hugely embarrassing. I hope you all enjoy the film if and when you see it.
P.S.
LOOK HOW FIT MR. LONGBOTTOM HAS GOT!
I woke up unusually early because I was so excited! I was like a kid at Christmas! I spent the morning with my family. I opened lots of cards I'd got through the post and some amazing gifts! From my Mum and Dad got me a Me to You statue, las Vegas and a camera (which I got on Sunday because it was also from my Uncle). My brother Steve and his girlfriend Andrea got me a lovely Tiffany & Co bracelet! My brother has made me a video. He puts filming footage and photos to music! I will also see this on Sunday for the first time! I also got this scarf sent through from my friend Sara who lives in Wales. I thought it was incredibly kind of her! My friend Gemma come round in the morning to give me a present. I got a lovely Alice band and iPhone case and she's made me an amazing cake with Harry Potter on it! It was absolutely brilliant! 
My friends Jess, Cathy and Becca, come round in the afternoon so we could get ready for our night out in London. My friend Cathy flew back to England from Germany for the weekend. I thought this was so nice of her to come all this way to spend the weekend with me! We had some beer, wine and vodka jelly whilst watching some sex and the city. My surprises started today and I was truly touched! I had a quick shower and when I come down the stairs a lady had arrived to do all of our make up for the night! I had absolutely no idea that they'd planned this at all! I was in shock! I had fake eyelashes and coral lipstick on and I'd not worn either of them before. We all looked stunning and the make up was done so well! Once we was all ready was were just waiting for our lift to London. There I was thinking that my friend's dad was giving us a lift but when I went outside a limo had arrived! I just could not believe it! I am lucky to have such lovely friends that have made such an effort to make my birthday a special one! I will always remember my birthday and the surprises from them!
The journey up to London was a lot of fun and was filled with music, champagne and wine! We dropped our bags at the hotel we'd booked and then went straight to the London Eye! I have been on the London Eye before but never at night. Seeing London lit up was really special! We then made our way to Planet Hollywood for dinner. I got a lovely garlic chicken noodle dish and I ate the entire meal with chop sticks, I was really pleased with myself haha! We got starters, a main meal, dessert (with sparkles) and 2 cocktails for £25 each! I thought that was a really amazing price. My dad printed off a voucher for us so we got lots of money off, click here. We then got a cab back to our hotel and crashed for the night! 
I would like to thank my friends for making my birthday an extra special one! I was totally unexpected to have my make up done and a limo for the night! ♥
