She was back, ever more determined to get Rupert’s autograph, a Ron banner in hand. I’m glad to report that, after last years failed attempt, she was successful this time and went home happy

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I’d definitely do it again. My only complaint would be that the adult actors didn’t seem to have much of a prescence. For a start, some of the main actors, such as Brendan Gleeson (Moody) and Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), were missing. Other key actors such as Alan Rickman (Snape) and Jason Isaacs (Lucius) weren’t there. While having other commitments is understandable, that many not being present was a disappointment; especially since a lot of us were really looking forward to seeing Rickman and Fiennes when we first planned the trip. Of the adults who were there, their presence was generally unfelt in our area. We didn’t see Miranda Richardson (Rita), Maggie Smith (McGonagall) or Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) at all.
