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).
