As much as I’d like to see Emma Watson win an award, in this case I had to vote for Noomi Rapace. I am so sorry, Emma, but Noomi should have won the BAFTA award – her Lisbeth Salander is outstanding. She should have been Oscar – nominated.
Well-deserved ! Will the movies finally get some recognition, or do we have to wait until the final one is out?
Btw, I’m in a ‘battle’ with myself about if I’m going to buy the DVD. 1-disk edition is not an option, but no doubt there will be better editions when DH2 will be out on DVD. Sets and everything. Still, I’m sorely tempted to buy a very cheap 2-disk edition. And then I saw a 1-disk DVD which included a Dobby bookend. Not very pretty (but then Dobby just isn’t, is he?) but still a nice collectors’ item. No, I really shouldn’t do this… Yeah, I know, crazy-fan-rambling. Sorry about that.
I got loads of sutff from HP, im probably gonna get the new ultimate edition of HP5 & 6 or wait and get them all on ultimate edition and sell my others, the new editions sound really cool, books and posters and special features and stuff!

Always good to see these talented folks receive recognition for their hard work!
