On my bedroom wall, there are some collector's Harry Potter films, two framed poster things that have pieces of ACTUAL film from the ACTUAL Harry Potter movies (they came with a certificate of authenticity and everything) and another poster. That final poster is what I'm going to talk about today.
On the 19th November 2011, I'm sure you know, the seventh installment to the Harry Potter films was released in cinemas and naturally I had to see it on the day it came out. I couldn't go to the mignight showing, but we still went to see it that day and as I had received a very spectacular Ravenclaw uniform almost exactly a month previous to that day, I had to go wearing that.
When I say Ravenclaw uniform, I am talking a tie from WB, a hand knitted jumper (thanks mom) and a hand made cloak (thanks mom) with a shirt and skirt. It was brilliant, if I do say so myself, and when we got to the cinema, a couple of people even asked if they could take my picture, even one of the guys there who was taking pictures for the cinema's website. It was awesome!
Then, for being dressed up and being extremely fangirly about going to see this film, the staff asked me if I wanted a poster for the movie for free. Of course I said yes and I got a freaking FREE POSTER the day I saw Deathly Hallows part 1.
End of the story, right? Nope.
A weeks later (on a Monday, I think) my step-sister came over to visit and she arrived just before I got home from school. When I got home, my mom and step-sister told me to go to my room and in there was the A3 poster I had gotten from the cinema and next to it was a poster ABOUT FIVE TIMES BIGGER THAN THE ORIGINAL!
What had happened was my step-sister was passing by this bus stop which was taking down the poster adveritsing the movie and she asked "Can I have that?" and they said "Sure." The A3 poster went to a good home, and I kept the poster who's previous life was on a bus shelter. It literally takes up ALL of one of my walls.
Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
