Hi. Excuse this being my first post and an odd introduction but I was desperate to share my news with other Potter fan(atic)s  .
I was at work yesterday when a student who is training with us said out of the blue "last night I was talking on the phone with that guy who plays 'someone' Malfoy in the Harry Potter films."
"Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton? How come you spoke to him?" I answered calmly, like I was completely unfazed by this statement.
"Yeah" she says "that's him, I'm not really into Harry Potter." (*gasp*) However she goes on to tell me that her friend works on the Leavesden Studios film set (not far from here) and is friendly with Tom.
"Do you like Harry Potter?" she says. At this my other colleague and I relegated her with tales outlining our enthusiast credentials and proving we are in fact complete Harry Potter nuts.
"Would you like a tour of the set?" she asked. Let me think…….Erm. YES!
She tells me that she is serious and immediately texted her friend who called back. To cut a not very long story even shorter – there is a new filming schedule about to be released and she's going to call us with the dates that filming looks most interesting so we can sort a convenient day for us to visit the set.
I pushed my luck to ask if my son can come (I don't know that they'll want kids at the studio) but either way, I'm still going! Unless this has all been an elaborate fantasy dreamed up by my mind to avoid having to actually do any work or it all falls through; I'm prepared for disappointment, but pessimism aside I'm really excited.
Now I've just got to find a way to appear like someone who is not an obsessive fan who spends far too much of her free time in the HP fandom. That's going to be tricky!

I'd love to do it, too, but appear as not a crazed fan. My dream is to meet certain famous people, but I don't want to meet them in those crazed fan moments like winning contests, because I want them to respect me as a normal person, not see me as a fan and fan only.
Anyway, tashlefay, I hope you have fun!

I tottally agree with you on that note!
I mean i would be way cooler to be there friend, or at least an aquaintence, then just another drooling fan.
But, all that aside I am tooootally jealous!
This is the downfall of being Canadian...I have no cool connections to any of the HP crew, although, to be totally honest I doubt I would anyways.
Make sure you enjoy yourself for all those who are experiencing this through you!! I for one expect to read paragraphs on the whole thing.

"Not at all up to your usual standard, Hermione. Only one out of three, I'm afraid. I have not been helping Sirius get into the castle and I certainly don't want Harry dead..." An odd shiver passed over his face. "But I won't deny that I am a werewolf." |

Pls if you can if not I would be happy if you tell me what was in there
