Tuesday was so tiring, we ran on 3 and a half/four hours sleep for roughly 20 hours. We were rained on, hailed on, packed in like cattle, couldn't breathe properly from the sheer amount of people around us, shivered our way through for about 10 hours and didn't eat or pee or sit for 12 hours. And you know what? It was all worth it for that one amazing photo Holly captured of Rupert Grint:
You see, that's how close we were; amazing, no?
The premiere was absolutely fantastic and I'm so so so happy I went. It's one of those things that we said we'd go to but usually don't get round to it - but this time we actually did it. We were there in the rain so close to the stars it was incredible.
Now, I don't plan to go to another premiere any time soon but for the last one I will. It doesn't come out until 2011 so we'll have plenty of time to recover from this one.
Now all there is to do is actually see the film; we booked our tickets today for 1:30pm at the odeon. And yes, we will be dressing up again.
