Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them!

When can I go and see this again? Because honestly I don't think I can wait for the DVD or Blu Ray to come out which currently doesn't have a release date on Amazon (yes I have looked hehe) at the moment.

Before going to see the movie I asked for the book of the script along with some other items for Christmas as with being a Harry Potter lover and reading the text book of this I just had to see the movie. And I wasn't disappointed at all I fell in love instantly with Newt played by the lovely Eddie Redmayne who I have watched in numerous movies before which was another reason why I had to go and see this movie.

I'm not going to spoil anything here because I want everyone to experience it for themselves and me myself avoided anything other than trailers before seeing the movie on Sunday. What is great about the movie is that nobody knows what is going to happen because the book it relates which is written by Newt is just a textbook rather than a book so the only thing you do recognise is the creatures from which he has written about. That is why I am so happy that JK didn't release the script before the movie came out.

The story in this movie is brilliant full of such amazing characters and creatures which I really hope do stick around for the next films or at lease make appearances because I fell in love with them. Now Harry Potter is over I feel like I have something else to obsess about for the next few years and I can just feel like I am already! Seriously can the next one just come out already ;)

Have you seen it yet? What do you think?

July Favourites

I haven't done one of these posts in agesss and never really got in the habit of doing them every month but as I happen to have done a lot of shopping this month and a lot of them are my favourites I thought why not and with the first week of August nearly over I thought I better press on before its too late!!

Harry Potter and The Cursed Child

Ever since the screen play was announced I have been eager to see it in London but with money being tight for the rest of the year I was over joyed when JK announced she would be releasing the script as a book I couldn’t wait.

I managed to get my copy on the release date with pre ordering through via Amazon Prime but as I have been so busy I have only read the first act and impressions so far good. It’s great to get to read about my favourite witches and wizards one last time.

Aristocats Phone Case

How beautiful is that phone case? Just a perfect mix of everything I love and adore.

Loungefly Alice In Wonderland Bag and Purse

With both of my Disney trips happening this year and next year I decided that it was time to invest in a Disney backpack. They just seem so much more easier to carry around and they don’t get in the way when your taking photos. After a seller on Amazon started selling these I was finally able to get my hands on the items I have been eyeing up for the last few months.

Baymax Instax Album/ Alice In Wonderland Instax Film

I just had to get these cute Instax items for my trip next month. One being from Ebay only costing £3 which is a bargain and the 2^nd from Etsy.

Totoro Plush/ Sailor Moon Cup

Both items spotted on my trip to Hyper Japan and were immediate must haves especially the Totoro plush as the style was super cute and the material and posture matched my existing one.

Pocahontas Socks

Anyone who knows me knows that its Pocahontas for the win and the fact that Primark does Pocahontas socks????? Like what??? I just had to have them maybe this is more of what’s to come? PJS? Tops that would be amazing!

Pocahontas Glass

I’m just a sucker for mugs and glasses and when I saw this vintage glass especially relating to my favourite song “Mine” from the movie and it was in the sale as well it was a no brainer.

Disney Plaques

I have been searching for some Disney plaques for a while now and not finding any at a reasonable price or quality I had given up until I came across Pink Dinosaur Crafts on Instagram who upcycle old Disney books in to notebooks and plaques. They now look perfect hanging above my desk in my office to finish off the empty space I had on my wall.

Disney Jumper

Another item purchased for my trip next month. As we will be travelling via coach over night to get there and back it makes sense that I need something to keep myself warm and what better item to have! Only £10 currently at Primark as well it was a bargain.

Monsters Inc Tsum Tsum 

Need I say no more? I had to have these in my collection and as the last few collections released haven't been super great quality and the hassle people have been having trying to get hold of them I was really pleased when they came.

The Harry Potter Tag

I probably don't mention it enough on here but I am a mad Potterhead and when I stumbled across this tag on here I had to take the opportunity to have a go myself as I haven't come across a Harry Potter tag before only lots of Disney ones!

What is your favourite book?
Hmm this is a tough one but I am going to say Harry Potter the Philosophers Stone because this is the book that started it all and welcomed us to the world of witch craft and wizardry. I love this book because it sets the scene of whats to come. My second favourite ;) is the Deathly Hallows.

What is your favourite film?
I think the first 4 films are my overall favourite and the reason being for this is because they follow the books all throughout the films where as the last ones don't really follow and I also found they missed so many bits out that should have been included. But if I had to pick my overall favourite I think it would the Deathly Hallows part 2 because I love the book so much and the scene with Snap always makes me cry!!! Reading and Watching!

What is your least favourite book?
So I know this isn't really a reason but I think it has to be the Goblet of Fire. It was one of the only books I didn't read before the film came out and to be honest I then over watched the movie so many times I still haven't been able to bring myself to read the book!

What is your least favourite film?
NONE

Parts of books/films that make you cry?
1. When Fred dies :(
2. When Dumbeldoor dies :(
3. The scene with Snape and Harry :(
4. When Snapes dies :(((((

If you could hook up with any character, who would it be?
Since the Goblet of Seanus Finnigan got quite attractive in my eyes and since then I have always had a little thing for him even though he isn't a massive main character

What is your favourite character?
Snape and Draco! I don't know what it is but I just love these two Snape especially because even though he has that tough exterior you know he is completely different on the inside. And I LOVE Alan Rickman may he rest in peace :(

What is your least favourite character?
DOLORES UMBRIDE! Need I say more?

What would your patronus be?
Pug, Pug, PUG!

If you could have a Resurrection Stone, Invisibility Cloak or Elder Wand, which would it be?
Invisibility Cloak for sure, think of all the sneaking around you could do if you had one of these!

Which house would you be in?
Slytherin

If you were in a Quidditch team, which position would you play?
I wouldn't haha I am so awful at sports but I would defiantly be cheering my house team along

Were you happy with the ending?
Yes I was happy with the way the book ended, it was also nice that JK Rowling did a so many years later section so that we could have an incite in to what happened next. I am also happy with the way the film portrayed the book as sometimes when they change the books in to films bits can be forgotten but because they did it in two parts it made it easier to tell the story and fit everything in

How much does Harry Potter mean to you?
A huge amount, its been a big part of my life for the last 17 years and when the final book was written it was OK cause we had the movies but once they had finished it finally hit me that that was it. Harry Potter will always live on! One day I will get my Hogwarts letter ;)

My Top Five: Movies

Now this is a hard one for me because I love a lot of films so narrowing it down to my top five is very hard some of them might be collections of movies like the Harry Potter series or Hunger Games. I'm not going to include any cartoons or Disney Movies as these are ones I'll do in a separate post.

1. Harry Potter Series
I couldn't pick a single Harry Potter movie to choose, I am actually re watching them at the moment and how many times I've gone "Oh this is my favorite one" then the next movie starts and I'm like oh but I really like this one!

I have to say I watched the first 4 movies before reading the books but then with the 5th book I read this before watching the film. There is only one Harry Potter book I have never read and that is the "Goblet of Fire" because I over watched the movie so many times I got bored and couldn't bare to read the book!

I will say that out of the whole series I love "The Order of the Phoenix" and "The Prisoner of Azkaban" the most followed by "The Goblet of Fire"

2. Lord Of The Rings Series
Another series because once again I couldn't pick out of all 3 which one I love the most, I am a massive Lord Of The Rings nerd and know the movies of by heart after watching them probably 15 times Whoops!

I remember seeing all 3 of these in the cinema with my dad and my brother and falling in love with the story from the first movie with such an excellent cast, director and story what wasn't to like?

My favorite characters are Aragon and Legolas <3 they're the perfect bromance and I totally ship them!

3. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Now if I love Lord of The Rings of course I'm going to love The Hobbit well especially as Martin Freeman is playing Bilbo Baggins and the fact the director actually waited until he was free to film this movie as that's who they always wanted to play him!

Now you might ask why I haven't picked the whole series? Well because I didn't actually like all of the 3 films I only liked 2 of them. I think the 1st installment was the best out of them purely because they kept to the story and followed the book. With the 2nd film they started to add bits and stray from the story line before on getting back on track for the final installment which I did really enjoy.

4. Breakfast At Tiffany's
The first time I watched with movie was when I was in New York on our final evening before coming home and since then I have fallen in LOVE with Audrey! I've always known who she is as she is an icon all over the world but after seeing this movie that was it.

What I love about this movie is obviously its set in New York but mostly Audrey she was such a kind, lovely, funny girl. She plays the role so well and the way she comes off in all her movies. Her voice as well I just love it!

5. Divergent
Now this was a tough one between the Hunger Games which I LOVE and Divergent because they're both such good movie series. They're similar in a few ways regarding the storys but different in so many other ways.

So far I have love'd both of the movies with the 3rd one coming out in March I am a little worried how good its going to be but the new trailer released a few days a go looks amazing. I love the relationship between Beatrice and Tobias and the way it develops through the 1st two films.
