On Location: Not Kings Cross Station
What I’ve learned so far in my adventures of Harry Potter tourism in the beautiful city of London is that the films took a lot of creative liberties with train stations. Firstly I wasn’t able to get to Platform 9 & 3/4, which is fair enough. Secondly, the location of Platform 9 & 3/4 is […]
On Location: Alice Ayres
The other day I visited a pretty special place in the city called the Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice, which is located in Postman’s Park, a short walk from St Paul’s Cathedral. The memorial itself consists of many plaques detailing the names of those who have died whilst saving the lives of others. Reading all […]
On Location: A stunt on the Tower Bridge
Wandering past the Tower Bridge on the way to the tourist-trappiest wonderland of the Tower of London (which I loved because there’s no shame in my tourist trap game), I couldn’t help but remember the classic moment from childhood favourite Spiceworld (1998). In one particular scene, the Spice Girls are off to their concert in the Spice […]
On Location: The Leaky Cauldron(s)
In today’s edition of trying to get to places where Muggles aren’t allowed, I found the locations of not one, but two of the Leaky Cauldron – the famous pub from the Harry Potter series that leads to the wizard shopping district of Diagon Alley. This first Leaky Cauldron, from Harry Potter and the Prisoner […]
On Location: Trying to get to Hogwarts
Day one of my travels around London consisted of finding a couple of classic Harry Potter locations that were really exciting to see! Firstly, I tried (and failed) to get to Platform 9 & 3/4 – the magical platform of Kings Cross station where Harry and his friends head off on their train journey to […]
Film Grimoire is London-bound!
Hi all, just a quick note (as previously detailed not so long ago in my blogiversary post) that I’m heading off to London tonight! I’m really super excited and ready to fly away (for a total of approximately 21 hours in the air), but I haven’t exactly finished packing, which is a bit of a […]
Two year blogiversary!
Today marks a very special day for me – it’s Film Grimoire’s two year blogiversary! It feels like it was only yesterday that I decided to make a film blog to exorcise my demonic opinions on film (and occasionally television), and I’m really happy I did. Thank you everyone for being lovely and for reading […]
Ten Things I Love About NBC’s ‘Hannibal’
Originally posted on FILM GRIMOIRE:
Yet again I’ve gotten stuck into a television series and I feel the need to post/rant about how much I love it. I’m sure you’ve all heard of NBC’s Hannibal before – the general story is based on the book Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, with the character of Hannibal himself…
Five Favourite Mini-moments In Film #1
Lately I’ve been collecting lists of my favourite mini-moments in film. I would define the term ‘mini-moment’ as a tiny part of a film that may seem inconsequential in the grand scheme of the whole film, but strikes an impression on its own as completely memorable, sometimes moreso than the rest of the film. Here […]
