Now we are on to the Harry Potter premieres! First up is the London premiere which took place on Thursday July 7th. Normally during Potter premieres in London it rains, luckily for this premiere it rained for a little bit before the premiere started and stopped in time for the stars to arrive and we had lovely weather! I'm not going to post ALL of my photos here, but you can see the rest over at my Harry Potter site: Magical-Menagerie. Before the premiere I had the chance to see the movie in 3D and I pretty much cried the whole time ;) (I'll write a bit more about the movie tomorrow, but no spoilers, just my thoughts)
P.S. Today Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the book, is 4 years old!!! AHHH!!! I still remember the day I got and read my copy... *sigh* Oh memories.
UPDATE: For those who are asking, I was on the press line because of my Harry Potter fan site: magical-menagerie.com. WB invites a select group of fan sites to cover events and premieres. There were about 10 of us, I think, in London...about the same for NYC.
The highlight of the premiere, for me, was Matthew Lewis (Neville) finding me in the press section and running over to me for a hug before I interviewed him! I run his only fan site and he is very appreciative. [you can see the hug in the video below]
So here we go with tons of photos...in order you will see David Heyman (Producer), Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Natalia Tena (Tonks), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix), child actors (won't say who so as not to spoil you), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Afshan Azad (Padma Patil), Clemence Poesy (Fleur Delacour-Weasley), Julie Walters (Molly Weasley), Michael Gambon (Dumbledore), Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas) & Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan), Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy), Jim Broadbent (Slughorn), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Helen McCrory (Narscissa Malfoy), James and Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley), and JK Rowling
And here are my video interviews from the premiere:
How did you get to go? Ah Megan you lucky, lucky thing! I applied for press but of course they were full to the brim :( I literally WEPT. At the premiere and the film. It still isn't over, it's not!
Tears aside, you do SUCH a good job of interviewing :D
Awww, I love your smile. You look like you are having the best time in the world. And you probably did. You and Matthew had better be inviting me to the wedding.
I'm so envious that you gave Mathew a hug! He's become so handsome. I can't wait to see you NY post..it was such an amazing premier, my first one ever, and I can't believe that you were in the press line. If i had known you were there, I would have totally looked out for you! I'm so glad to hear that you had an amazing timeand such a great opportunity!
Thanks so much for visiting and commenting, now following, hope you do the same.
Great job interviewing. It must be an equally emotional time for you. And a busy time for your matthew-lewis.com site now that the world (including myself) have noticed how fit he is (in addition of course to playing a hero and an unwavering moral compass and extraordinary botanist)!

P.S. Sorry I assumed you spoke/can read French if you don't, but if you're starting, the first HP ones are really great for intermediate readers. It's particularly interesting how they do the names. They call Snape Prof. Rogue from the beginning!
I'm a huge Potter fan, this is incredible :) And I can't believe that it's been four years already...time really does fly.
Oh my god! And I thought I was lucky to meet James and Oliver Phelps (pictures on my blog...not as good as yours :P), but you met EVERYONE. That is so awesome. Good for you.
And Matthew Lewis definitely deserves more fansites, I mean look at him! So sweet and cute :)
This is just amazing! I am planning on seeing the movie tonight and I would very much like to dress up for the occasion. I hear the movie is quite good! xx
Oops I had to delete the previous comment. Too many mistakes. Here goes: OMG you must've been so close to all of them. Was it very noisy with all the fans screaming?
