Guess what???

I have JK Rowlings autograph!!!!

No, I'm not kidding, and yes it really is her!

The premire yesterday was a blast. It was a long wait, I got the Leichester Square at one and stars didn't start coming till about 530 or so. But it was totally worth the wait. The first person to come along was Tom Felton (Draco) however it was raining pretty hard when he came along, and I didn't get a good picture of him at all.
Next was Evanna Lynch. She was absolutely gorgeous. I got some moderately good pics of her.

Sometimes it was hard to take pictures, because it did rain hard a couple times. By the end of the night, my right arm was soaking wet. I wasn't able to keep it under the umbrella of my neighbor. But my camera stayed dry, and that was the most importat thing!

It would take too long to go into all the details of the evening, and I don't want to bore you all with it. But the stars that I saw (and who came close enough for photos) were... Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint (I have several awesome pics of him), James and Oliver Phelps, David Heyman, Devon Murry, Bonnie Wright (ginny), Robbie Coltrain, Imalda Stauten, Warrwick Davis , Matthew Lewis, and of course, the woman herself, JK Rowling.

When we realized Jo was coming over, I begged a scrap of paper from some one, because I thought I would get close enough for anyones autograph. When in fact I was quite close. But that is the way it goes sometimes! But all that really matters, is I've "met"Jo and have her signature. And some good pictures as well!

So last night was totally worth the rain, the standing, the cold...
The only bummer was, I saw David Tennant (and in fact several of us all sreamed his name) but he didn't come around near enough for a pic or to sign. :-( Same for Helena Bonham Carter.
James and Oliver were really nice and among the stars, they probably spent the most time signing. Dan did quite a bit, but of course it got crazy every time he walked by. People didn't scream to much at Jo, it just didn't feel right! Jo is really pretty and was so nice to take the time to sign so many autographs!
Actually every one was really nice about it, but a couple times Emma looked a bit stressed out. She is really pretty, and so was Evanna. Dan's eyes are amazing! Very blue. I have a picture where Rupert looked right at my camera. *squeee!*
Didn't make an effort to speak to the Twins about D*C this year or two years ago. Decided that it was too much trouble. But both James and Oliver were over near our section. I actually remembered who was who!!


------------------

Today was spent with the Jobs around Epping and the surrounding area. It was very nice. Though I'm still not recovered from my 36 hour day. (yup...thats how long it ended up being) but we took it easy and I've enjoyed it very much. Tomorrow Janice and I are going to go down to London and take a city tour. I'm really looking forward to that. She bought our HP 5 movie tickets yesterday. So we have that set for the 12th at 730. Next Tuesday we are going to go up to Oxford. Yay!!

I'll try and get some pics up soon. I have to use the computer from the Jobs because the Westwoods currently have no internet. I don't have my camera cable with me, so it'll have to wait for another day.

All the best...
