Ever so briefly ...

I am overworked to buggery and have a vile cold to go with it (damn you huggy snotty toddlers!), so am behind in every aspect of my life save comfort knitting (the healthier, more productive version of comfort eating), but I would like to say that there is one good thing about the otherwise awful Epilogue photos that are emerging from the Deathly Hallows set (here via the gorgeous Anna).

For all of us on the upper side of 37, they make us look fucking brilliant. I'm 43 and I look at least 10 years younger than that lot, even with a headful of snot. Really, like their appallingly ancient twentysomething James and Lily snr choices, I think it's the film designers' way of making the older set engage with the films. And walk away thinking 'You know, even without Botox, I'm not doing that badly!' Must dash, my comparatively ageless face needs to be at work ;-)

I don't get how that generation of wizards has any chance of living to 150: they'll all have withered into sibyls and need to be kept in jars hung in the corner of the room by then!

HEE! They will look like those really wrinkly old people you see at Australian beaches, who, after decades of tanning, resemble nothing so much as ambulatory mummies.
