Moving the Clunns

Today, I idly typed 'Snape' into the search function of eBay and what came up (among other quite curious things)?

A mug from Snape Maltings, decorated with two of my favourite things: the name of Snape and sailing boats. Naturally, I bought the mug. Hey, it's been raining all summer, I deserve a treat.

The seller's last name is Snape :) I knew that there was a village called Snape in England and even a Snape Castle but I had never heard of Snape Maltings before. I wanted to know more and searched Snape Maltings online, found their web site and was greeted with this image (do direct your gaze to the lower left corner of the screen shot):

Yesterday was my husband's birthday, so as a present for Tania and me him, we went to see both films back to back.

It was soo worth it. If you get the chance to do that, I highly recommend it. The two parts really merged into one for me.

I am still a bit woozy because we came home at 3 am and the baby is fussy, so I will keep this short.

I was extremely worried about the 3D bit in DH2 but was pleasantly surprised. It was much more subtle than I had expected and I didn't leave with a headache.

Love, love, love the imagery! Overall love the entire film very, very much.

There was a particular line from McGonagoll that had the audience cheering and clapping. You will know what I mean when you watch it.

I cried pretty much non stop from the moment I realised that Voldemort was about to kill Snape.

( Potential spoilers )

DH2 is a worthy end to the saga and having seen it I feel actually much better now. One part of the journey is over but that does not mean that the road ends here.
