Christian Coulson in Little Britain

There’s a lot of very interesting young actors and actresses in the Harry Potters films. Robert Pattinson is certainly not the only one ;) Another guy that turned some (female) heads was Christian Coulson in the second film as the teenage Voldemort.

Harry Potter Movie-Watching

{FILM DIARY}
So throughout last week (which was very heavy on the tests and projects and stuff) I found that watching Harry Potter films was a very pleasurable form of escapism :] And so in the evenings if I had time (and sometimes also when I didn’t have it) I would put a Harry Potter film [...]
