London Film and Comic Con

Yesterday was a completely new and different experience for me. I went to London's annual Film and Comic Con, which was absolutely brilliant!

I've always looked at these things from a distance, and people would always tell me about events such as these, and although comics and such haven't always been at the forefront of my life, it was genuinely something I thoroughly enjoyed. I hadn't been to Earl's Court since I was very little, and I had visited with my mother to visit my dad's fashion expo a very long time ago.

Despite how long ago it had been, I still remembered the place - very vaguely, yes. I regret not having dressed up for the occasion, although it didn't really occur to me until last minute. People were dressed up as all sorts; Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, Princess Leia, Doctor Who, Amy Pond, Spider-man, Wonder Woman, you name it! I did manage to get a picture with Darth Vader. You can't see it very well, and I'm looking terrible, but I'm glad I got a picture nonetheless!


I went with my two friends Sara and Hannah and we attended "Q&A" sessions with:

  • Mark Sheppard (known for Supernatural, Doctor Who, various CSIs. Basically, he's been in everything). What a lovely and hilarious man! If he did stand-up, I'd pay to see him.
  • Karen Gillian (Amy Pond from Doctor Who. She was lovely. It was her first time at a convention, and although she was a little nervous, she handled the questions brilliantly. And Karen looked so pretty, may I add!)
  • Harry Potter cast: Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley) Natalia Tena (Nymphadora Tonks) Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan) Georgina Leonidas (Katie Bell) Stanislav Ianevski (Viktor Krum) Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas).
There were so many stands selling merchandise. I wish I had more money, but I've officially drained my pocket. Looks like I won't be going anywhere else for a while! Anyway, there's so much more I could add but it would simply make this post ridiculously long.

Hope you've had a good weekend!
