The idea of a HP Tour sounds brilliant. I have not really been to any of the
places that we have guessed for the locations in the Harry Potter world. It
would also be cool to meet up with others from the group. The timing I am
not really in a position to comment on. I finish university at the beginning
of June and as yet have no plans for the future. By November I hope to have
a job but will just have to wait and see.
I read an article on the Empire online website - it confirms many of my
comments about the film security.

They seem to have finished filming now and I have got nowhere near any of
the main cast. I have just seem many little kids running around wearing the
Hogwarts uniform.

Apologies for this being off topic, but I found it very amusing.
A friend ended up spending a few weeks in Eastern Europe this summer.
One day he was eating a meal with friends some from whichever country he was
in (I cannot remember which country it was). On the table he saw something
he thought to be onion bhajis - i.e. he picked up something that was deep
fried out of a bowl. On tasting he realised it was not onion bhaji, but
thought that it was some non descript type of meat. The one of the others
asked him if he had tried sheep's brain and he replied that he did not
really like the idea and would not. The other person replied that he hoped
that my friend would not mind him eating it any way. And I can guess that
you will know what he then picked up to eat!
