Haha that's great!! Wish I could see it. First to post!

aww...that's adorable!

awesome!

oh thats so cool! Glad to see HP stars in other projects:)

that's great
glad to see them in another project

Wow... that's very cool :)

Its nice to too them as a much "healthier" mother/son portrayal or is the play something really psychotic? idk something different if you know what i mean.

*by the way Fiona a really pretty lady, i never noticed all that in HP as petunia...probably the character lol.

Weird!!!

Interjections show excitement or emotion. They're generally set apart from a sentenc
 

Wow, that's so cool. Kind of cute in a way too ... :lol:

But I can't help thinking I'm weird because seeing that second picture of Mrs. Dursley ... it just inspires a fanfic ... :lol: and what the devil is Harry doing, hiding under a tank? or something? :lmao: Too cute ... I should make a story out of this ... I just should :lol:

That is soo cooL!

Really pleased for harry he comes from a line of fab actors.

awwee harry looks cute in black and white

I just want to mention A Night Less Ordinary. It gives people aged 15-25 the chance to see plays for free. You can get an entry pass from The National Theatre online and go and see this play for free!
I used it to see Entertaining Mr Sloane with Imelda Staunton in and I may use it again to see this play. It sounds interesting.

Oh that is so cool haha :D
Fiona Shaw is the major Awesomeness, and she looks so cool in those pictures!

I'm glad Harry has been able to show what a truly good actor he is, I mean everyone who has disliked Dudley in the movies must know this :lol:

I'd love to see it, everyone who is able to should!

that's great!

You can read a synopsis of the story here.

Ooo I may use that. Thanks for the tip!

whoa...petunia and duddy-kins....

Heehee... thanks for the synopsis. Bit confuzzling. But it sounds interesting. If it's set in the 1600's though... what's he doing under a car thingy?

EDIT: Oooh, it's the cart. Right. :)

wow...cool...

Haha...that's funny :)

'I just want to mention A Night Less Ordinary. It gives people aged 15-25 the chance to see plays for free. You can get an entry pass from The National Theatre online and go and see this play for free!'

That's sounds really great! I'd like to use it-thanks so much for the tip ;)

They are playing a mother and son again =D
Well, at least here they are not playing Petunia and Dudley Dursley xD

I love her second outfit. It's quite funny how they all meet up in other films and things.

They are really fit together!Hahaha...

It's great that they get to work together as mother and son again!

LMAO!! "Swiss cheese!" That's awesome!! I really hope they're both coming back for Deathly Hallows! :happy:

That looks like it would be a really good play to see. I wish I lived somewhere near there. I love anything about wars. :)

love Brecht's plays

Mummie and "Dudders" again, how kyoote! :P

That's pretty cool! Has Harry lost weight?
He looks good.
Go Dudders!

Um...sort of odd, but still cool that they follow each other in the filming industry....still odd but I guess that they aren't the only ones that do that.

Not particularly fond of Mother Courage as a play (I read it, didn't find it too stimulating) but it's certainly a long way off from HP, which would be interesting to see them in.

GREAT!!!!! They make such a good combo!

Wow, nice guns there, Fiona!

Sigh. I need to workout.

WOW Harry is skinny!!! A big change from Dudykins!!! Looks like an interesting play..... good luck to them!

wow , that's great!!

awesome and very cool
