Being hopelessly American, I will assume that "revising your coursework/for exams" means studying. Wink

It does indeed. Revising is like cramming for an exam, re-learning and re-vising (re-viewing if you will) the work you have done in the past, studying here would be learning from scratch rather than revision

Hi All Wink Grin Wink,

It's been a few years since I sat down and did an exam,but slightly digressing away from the subject slightly,I was lucky enough to meet the cast of the films (Harry Potter) before the 1st film was released as I was a security manager/advisor for a particular film company and had to keep eye on them. Also after I left that place of work, i did return to see a former colleague and saw the author in all her beauty from afar (i was sitting in the reception area ,and she approached the desk which was a distance away),after she left I said to whom I was visiting I wished I had my Goblet of fire book on me that I had lent him and he replied he had lost it I was well gutted that day.
The cast are fantastic,very polite and this goes for Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman ,and the late Mr Harris who was the original Dumbeldore!!.
Yes before you all ask it is a true story and not just a figmant of one's imagination!!

Cheers

Paul

Ps I also have an original Chamber Of Secrets A1 poster which are quite hard to come by with Dobby The Elf on.These were only really given to film companies,cinemas and special events.

Wow, Paul what a memorable experience-one that so many would love to have.   Smiley

I always wondered if Mr. Harris was as charming and friendly in person as he was on screen as Dumbledore.

Treasure that time always and thank you for sharing!  Smiley

Hi All Wink Cheesy Grin,

Thanks for the kind words, the poster I have has been rolled and kept in poster tube it's a little creased on outer edges but would look good in a frame if anyone is interested in it let me know maybe trade for a good HP costume card if anyone has spares.

Cheers

Paul

I wasn't too late, that was a hard one. The most surpising thing was I found my way to the paper before Mugglenet had even loaded.  Shocked

If anyone wants to see beautiful Christmas decorations and festive good cheer don't bother looking at the JKR page.  Not a bit of tinsel in sight, just a new snipe about the encyclopedia Sad

Did anyone see the ITV documentary - A Year in the Life.......

It was excellent  Grin.  Even though she has done a lot of things I don't like recently this program showed her as a very genuine nice person.

... and check out the time turner standing next to the mirror!! Shocked
If you hover your mouse over the handles the pointer turns to a hand so when you click on it the hand spins the date. If you then hover your mouse over the round glass it will glow blue so click on it and see what happens!!  Shocked
Tip: click on the top of the two handles to move forward in time and the bottom handle to move back in time!  Shocked
I don't think the door opens each time but I'm sure it will be fun trying ...  ROFL!
