Thank you for including the videos from the movie premiere. Emma Watson was so emotional. It was really touching to realize how much the movies and the books have meant to all of the actors as well as to all of us!

Kathleen – Can you imagine being that age – 21 – and you’ve spent half your life working with the same people, and then it’s over? It would be so hard.
Thanks for posting all the videos! I haven’t watched their speeches yet.
