This is fantastic! What an honour. It occurs to me that this film may be the best one yet…......and it hasn’t even been seen yet. Go, Harry! I hope JKR will be there. That would be extra keen.

WOW! I read about this honour, some 5 hours ago. I tried to get to Leaky, with the news, but it’s been really hard to get things loaded [and downloaded] I think this is sooo cool, as the film hasn’t even been seen yet! A really great honour! Thanks, TLC!

As a loather of all forms of privilege and an ardent UK republican I’ll give this a miss – I’d probably get arrested! (LOL). Of course anything that helps charities has to be good.
Rosey, I wished I lived in the UK, now! That would be an awsome event to attend. I doubt that too many of “the public” will be able to attend, though. I would imagine the tickets would be very expensive. This IS for charity though. I would hope that folks would keep this in mind, when attending. Not just to see “the celebrities” ,but a cool movie, all for charity! A great honour, any way you look at it!
