| | |  'Goblet of Fire' premiere report - a teaser
Yesterday was mad, manic, crazy, pandemonium and every other word you can think of to describe a Harry Potter premiere. After attending Azkaban last year, I thought they could get no bigger. I was wrong. The area in which the premiere took place was expanded which, in my opinion, gave more fans the opportunity to interact with their idols. There were downfalls and disappointments, I won't pretend there weren't, but on the whole it was an amazing day.
Here are a few random 'facts' to keep you going til later; * 36 hours without any sleep * 24 hours without a proper meal * 13 hours waiting in the freezing cold (and the rain!!!) * 6 hours queuing to get in the 'circle' (I'll explain better later) * 6 autographs * 4am - the time we arrived - there were about 50 people already there (some in sleeping bags). We were definitely in the first 100 to arrive * 1 very loud dragon * 1 Cardiff Uni banner (+ another one which didn't have an SS friendly message which Tom Felton found particularly amusing) * Many decorations/banners/backdrops * Many pictures (in varying qualities)
The Cardiff Uni HP Society, who I was travelling with, were interviewed by several reporters. I've found one interview on the net here - let me know if you see anything mentioning us!!! Quote:
For the 30-strong Harry Potter Society of the University of Cardiff in Wales, however, the reasons seemed more social than literary.
"We meet every two weeks to discuss the books and go to the cinema," said Katie Fazal, an 18-year-old first year English literature student.
"It's an extension of a reading group," she explained, before adding: "Well, actually, we meet in bars and we had a pub crawl on Halloween dressed as Harry Potter characters."
Trust Katie to make us sound like drunkards! We do actually have amazing discussions as well as the odd drink!! hehe Our society is WAY bigger than 30, that was just the number of us who went to London.
That should satisy you, for the time being. Expect to see the full report + pictures & scans, later.  | |

Secondly, tip me on how to do this premiere thing. I'm of course going for the NY one. Should I arrive there before sunrise? 1) I told you in the RGFC. Later.  But, come off it, like I'd think Rupert anything short of gorgeous
2) Weeeeeeeell NY might be different but early hours of the morning, yes. Wear lots of layers. Take a camping stool seat thingy. And only eat small things which will give you energy (like chocolate!!) and at about 6 hours prior to the arrivals, stop drinking, so you don't need to the toilet and lose your place. Quote:
Okay, all I wanna know is -- did you see the 2.. darn...~@&-%^+*#! lucky girls whom Rupert kissed

Oh. How did I miss this earlier? And can I just bow down before you?  Rupert's jeans!! Quote:

Hah! I know! But I asked it here first... figured you'd might slip up somewhere and want to tell me. LOL Quote:

Alright. *writes all that down* I'm going to be wearing a gray sweatshirt with a picture of Rupert that says 'Ice Cream Man' on the top and 'www.rupert-grint.us' on the bottom.  And I'll be sure to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath. *suddenly gets hyper about NY*

Argh! I had plane tickets and everything! But our flight was delayed by a ridiculous sixteen hours. In the end, we ended up staying in stupid Ireland. Grrr. 
You're so lucky. Loll. C'mon tell us what autographs, please : pouts :  | |

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

I am such an ejit.
You can so tell I am not a photographer. All my pictures (60 of them) were either blurry or totally out of focus. That's what happens when you borrow a camera and the person who owns doesn't even explain how to use it.
So, sorry guys, the report will be pictureless (I know, I'm gutted too) but hey, at least I can scan the autographs!

Wow! That must have been awesome to attend...I'm so jealous! I'd have loved to go! It sounded very very exciting. 6 autographs? Even one would have been good enough for me! Oh, you're so lucky! But you deserved it...I mean, waiting outside in the cold for that long...
