This is a very happy post for me.  I love, love, love Michael Douglas and ever since he was diagnosed with throat cancer, my heart has been hurting for him and the family.  So seeing him with his gorgeous wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones and their two kids on the Flight of the Hippogriff roller coaster at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort makes my heart happy.

It was a great family day and you can see the joy in all of their faces.  There is nothing better than that feeling.  They enjoyed some Butterbeer, got fitted for wands at Ollivanders and toured Hogwarts Castle as part of their visit.  Sounds like a blast to me!  I am just getting into Harry Potter…  yes,  I am a little behind, but I’d love to check out this park!

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint attended last night’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I world premiere in the U.K. and you know it’s incredible to think their first Harry Potter was 10 years ago! And they aren’t finished with it yet:

“We are re-shooting some parts of it,” Radcliffe confirms. “It was an interesting one. I think we made it very hard on ourselves because we shot it at King’s Cross for real. And this time we’ll  be shooting it at Leavesden on set. To have to rush that sequence and it’s an important sequence, is not something any of us want to do.

“It’s a train station and people actually needed to use that platform. We made it very hard on ourselves and we really want a slightly slower, more measured pace next time.

The reason for the reshoot? Paparazzi had heard and recorded the one they originally filmed (Part II that is).

Daniel Radcliffe has broken his silence admitting to suffering from dyspraxia, a condition that causes coordination problems.  The star says it is something he struggles with daily confiding that it rocked his self-confidence during school:

"I was having a hard time at school in terms of being c**p at everything, with no discernible talent."

The condition affects him with simples things, like tying shoe laces:

"I sometimes think, 'Why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?'"

We wish him well.
