At the risk of hijacking the thread :D How about the Green Hornet, Roy Rogers, and the saturday matinees, with the canvas seats, & jaffas, rolling down the aisle, and Flash Gordon !! how good was that! [ not as good as Harry, of course] Bob

I doubt many of you are very big Harry Potter fans
Just because we may have a couple of years on you , young fella, doesn't mean we are brain dead. When I went to see the movies [ with my daughter, just for her, of course] there were plenty of potter tragics with pension cards. As a matter of fact, an engineer friend of mine is in collaboration with a number of old farts, working on getting Quidditch up & running , why should the young have all the fun, :D Bob

This was one of the photos I have of M&M World in Leicester Square which is great area.
Anyway M&M World is 2.5 stories of absolute M&M madness it is so cool it was so hard to buy anything but I had to tell myself no.

We were determined to go to a musical as we had never been to a big one before.
We searched around for ages trying to get tickets to one of the bigger ones and finally we did. Our seats were not the greatest but they were in the centre and we did not miss anything and we could hear everything fine and from memory we paid 40 pounds each for 'Wicked' which is quite good.

That is all the photos I have really to share ( I have heaps more but that will do).
all in all London was great but another week there would have been nice but oh well.

Shall we start with Harry Potter & the deathly Hallows? Harry has a dark , dangerous and seemingly impossible task: locating & destroying Voldemarts [ BOO!HISS!] remaining Horcruxes. Harry must leave the burrow, and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out before him . Bit like me in my D2, actually. Bob [ I have read the books, some of them, at least. J K Rowling is a true mistress of storytelling, and not a bad sort, too. ] :D

Great stuff, thanks. The photo from ' order of the phoenix' shows the Tower Bridge, and the old RN cruiser HMS Belfast. When in England for the Queens Silver Jubilee, our ship, HMAS Brisbane, was alongside Belfast for a week, I think. Good times. Bob
