Hopefully once the school year starts, I will have more exciting things to blog about than my spending my weekend eating goldfish and translating the Harry Potter movies to my mother. (See my title) But don't get me wrong, that's exciting too.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I had the craziest adventure involving the Harry Potter Deathly Hallows part 2 movie premiere in London!
First off all, I got to see this dress in person.
Not to mention, I got to see Emma Waston strike this pose in person:
But never mind that.
I'm not sure I've ever been surrounded by so many people in my life. And granted, by the end of the night I was being held in Trafalgar Square against my will, it was the most amazing thing to listen to the trio (and JK Rowling!!!) give their thoughts on their last London premiere. Seeing pictures and news packages about it later, it's hard to believe I was so lucky to attend something like that.
I didn't get any autographs or anything like that, (come on guys, I'm 5,1.) but I got some awesome pictures and video footage. I also met a sweet girl named Ruth who wanted to know what the midwest was like because she had just finished reading The Great Gatsby in school.
I'll probably remember every second of it for the rest of my life. I'll remember what it was like to see those cars roll in and the anticipation of who might be in them. When a celebrity came close to where I was standing. All the umbrellas crammed into one little space as it rained heavily for a half hour. Being on my feet
for 8 hours straight. The security guards telling us we couldn't leave even though we had tickets to Les Miserables....
Also, can we talk about how awesome my mom is? Can we just name her professional celebrity stalker already? Ok, good.
Even though she didn't finish the movies in time, we've gotten through the 6th movie since. She's liking them more and more with each movie...
And yes, we did make it to Les Miserables, just at the ending notes of Who Am I. The Thenardier's were impeccable. The Chinese restaurant we ate at afterwords? Not so much.
