The End of Harry Potter

The final Harry Potter movie - Deathly Hallows Part 2 - has been released, and I was one of the first to see it :D

I went to see the Deathly Hallows Double Bill (Parts 1 and 2 back-to-back) and it was the most excited I have been for the cinema since seeing the first Harry Potter back in 2001. Part 1 started at about half 9 on Thursday night, which was the third time I had seen it at the cinema, before Part 2 in 3D just after midnight...

The atmosphere in the cinema was great... I can't really describe it, you had to be there! But it was brilliant being there with other fans of the franchise. Because of the many times Part 1 had been seen, people were rather sleepy by the end, but everyone just enjoyed it and was laughing throughout :D

If you haven't seen it yet, here are the trailers to wet your appetite...

But now what? No more Potter :/ Ah well, I think they're all going to be re-released in 3D supposedly :D

Andrew Gold

It emerged at the weekend that singer Andrew Gold had died... well all I knew him for was this song, which is rather fitting I think what with leaving school... Enjoy!

Osama Bin Laden

Is dead!!

Unfortunately my 'Where's Wally?' styled 'Where's Bin Laden' book is now a bit out of date :/

This was one of those moments when you log on to Twitter, see a name in the trending topics list and can guess immediately what's happened...

But talking of Twitter, one guy living in Abbottabad was providing updates of the night's events without knowing it!

There are also many conspiracies... was his capture linked to Apple? Two weeks ago it came out they could track iPhone locations. Or perhaps it's due to the PlayStation Network outage? Name and addresses were stolen... maybe Bin Laden had an iPhone and/or PS3?! :-D

This was another theory I saw on Twitter:

"Osama Bin Laden has 13 letters in his name. Barack Obama recently watched Friday da 13th. Friday was 3 days ago.3+13= sweet 16. #Conspiracy"

 His death was also on the same date as that of Lord Voldemort! Perhaps, after being hosted by Professor Quirrel, Voldemort took to hiding in the back of Bin Laden's turban? It's a possibility ;-)

Something silly about the whole thing though was a reporter on Sky News asking Ed Milliband if Bin Laden's killing had been timed to coincide with the Royal wedding :S How could the two possibily be related??

Ta ta...

The Royal Wedding ♔

So yesterday, as I'm sure you don't need telling, it was the royal wedding... and what a good day of Britishness it was :D Well I thought so anyway... Lots of fun and people enjoying themselves, giving the country something to :) about!

Phew!

Well, what a looong week! Ive been busy busy busy and its been tiring, but its been enjoyable also and now its the Easter holidays :D

So ongoing throughout the week have been biology and physics ISAs which require loads of work :/ but on the plus side there has been lots of music too :D On Tuesday the concert with a choir from the University of Southampton which was good fun... then on Wednsayday after 6 hours of biology at school I had to rush off for wind band rehearsal and concert which couldn't have gone any better! We performed The Incredibles theme and a James Bond medley, and we haven't played them better than that :D Every tiny detail was spot on, our conductor had a big grin particularly throughout the James Bond piece and the audience seemed to love it! On Thursday as the usual jazz band rehearsal, and today the wind band performed the same pieces in the final assembly :)
