Chauncey in a top hat

Of course, we can't forget her. In case you can't tell, the wonderful woman on the far right is none other than our lovely J.K. Rowling.

There were other things, some were super awesome, but these....These are the best parts of all.

We all know Voldy will be seen.

Seriously, Kenneth Brannagh in a top hat. He is one classy fellow. That was my favorite part and I personally believe C needs to make it his sig right stat meow!

I am very proud of them for incorporating Harry Potter in. Shows a level of respect for the series I wasn't expecting to see.

Voldemort defeated by Mary Poppins though...?

Speaking as a Brit I thought it was absolutely stunning, I loved the entire thing! It incorporated so many different things but my favourite was when they linked Great Ormond Street Hospital and more specifically the NHS with children's literature I thought that was beautiful. Danny Boyle did amazingly well to put this all together!!
And the Queen with James Bond! Brilliant!!!!!!

Missed the first half, but that was the most interesting, only saw the last half

But I did see CC in the top hat! I hope it reruns soon so I can see the full thing!

Chauncey in a top hat

I'm confused, is he suppose to be Abraham Lincoln? Or some person in British History that I don't give a crap about. Either way Chauncey you look like you could stand to shed a few pounds.
