Harry Potter stars at the first and last premiere

Every time Harry Potter or the cast has been brought up in the past couple of weeks, there is always one person in the group that brings up the fact that the movies have been going on for the last ten years. Funny, the first thought in my head is that these child stars are stacked FOR LIFE. Seriously – ten years for eight films considering how many people actually see these movies in theaters and how often they are replayed on ABC Family. Actors and actresses should really utilize the book-to-film adaptation thing more.

Buzzfeed published a post today that captures the cast of Harry Potter at their first premiere and their last premiere to show just how much the stars have grown up. Not only have they gone through puberty (as expected,) but they’ve also developed a better sense of style. Thank goodness. Why is Rupert Grint wearing jeans to his first premiere? What a rookie.

AMC will host Harry Potter Marathon

Harry Potter is coming to an end soon and it’s unrealistic for me to believe that I can remember every single plot line that has happened over the years. Luckily, AMC has got a solution for that! I’m not exactly sure if reading all seven books would be faster than watching all eight movies, but it would certainly be more entertaining. AMC is offering a special deal that includes the eight movies in four nights for a ticket that costs $40.

To make things a little bit easier, the theater has broken up the films to showing two movies each night starting Monday, July 11th. To see all of the participating theaters, click here.

They aren’t at the same standing because I’m sure  you would rather see the real thing IN PERSON than just a rendition of it. The three hour tour will include props, costumes, effects, and the sets of Dumbledore’s office and The Great Hall with many sets that have yet to be announced.

Fall 2010 Trend: Prep School

One of the biggest trends for this fall will be the revival of the preppy look. It is fairly easy to recreate because it combines classic pieces such as plaid and twill skirts, the button up blouse, and the blazer. You can try wearing all three, but if you think it’s too much – just one piece will do. To give you a better idea of what this trend may look like, I’m bringing to you some great films and television shows depicting the latest style trend. Get ready to become inspired!
