Rupert Grint Just Recreated One Of His Most Cringe-Inducing Harry Potter Scenes 15 Years Later
Rupert GrintHarry Potter stars Rupert Grint and Jessie Cave reunited over the weekend – and took a moment to recreate one of their famous scenes from the wizarding films.Catching up at Dream It Con over the weekend, the former on-screen couple re-enacted the scene in which the clingy Lavender Brown puts a necklace aroundRon Weasley’s neck in Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.The fellow Gryffindors fell right back into character 15 years after they first filmed the scene, in which Rupert (otherwise known as Lavender’s “Won Won”) delivers a suitably panicked and Ron-esque expression.The clip has since racked up 20 million views on TikTok, where Dream It Con soundtracked the moment to the trending Simple Plan song I’m Just A Kid, which users will overlay on clips of them recreating a moment from their younger years. “I went to Paris to be reunited with Ron Weasley. It was lovely. I saw my friends! We’ve all grown up!” shared Jessie on Instagram.@dreamitconventionsLavender Brown reunited with her Won-won this weekend at our #ETWW convention! ?⚡️? #harrypotter#RupertGrint#Gryffindor#LavendenBrown#RonWeasley♬ original sound - I’M JUST A KIDA host of other Potter co-stars reunited at the convention in France this weekend, including Weasley twins James and Oliver Phelps, Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom), Alfred Enoch (Dean Thomas) and Devon Murray (Seamus Finnigan).While she was at the convention, Jessie also revealed she wasn’t best pleased about Miriam Margolyes’ recent comments about grown up fans of the series.Last month, the Bafta winner, who played professor Pomona Sprout, made an appearance on New Zealand’s 1News and insisted that adult fans “should be over that by now”.Asked about Miriam’s remarks, Jessie admitted: “It’s such a shame that that happened.”She continued: “You know how she is — she’s just a bit funny. And I think she didn’t mean for it to be taken like that, I hope.”Jessie concluded: “I really don’t like that she said that.”MORE HARRY POTTER:Miriam Margolyes' Harry Potter Co-Star 'Didn't Like' Her Blunt Message For Films' Grown-Up FansGary Oldman Makes Very Honest Admission About His 'Mediocre' Performance In Harry PotterDaniel Radcliffe Reveals The 1 Way He's Always Disappointing Harry Potter Fans

Travel Experts Reveal The Aeroplane Seat They Always Try To Book
Which is better: aisle or window? Experts share the perks of both and some tips to help you choose the right airplane seat.Choosing your plane seat when you book a flight can sometimes feel like a crapshoot. Of course, we’d all love to enjoy the extra legroom and amenities that come with business class or other upgraded sections, but the reality is that most travellers are trying to stick to a budget. So which of the many economy cabin seats on a plane makes for the best choice?HuffPost asked travel experts to share which seat they usually opt for when flying. Keep scrolling for their best practices.For sleep, the window is king.“I always book a window seat on flights,” said Gabby Beckford, the founder of travel site Packs Light. “No one likes the middle seat for obvious reasons, and the window allows me to entertain myself and a better opportunity to sleep.”Indeed, sitting in the window seat means that you can lean your head against the wall to rest, and you won’t be bothered by row mates getting up to use the bathroom.“I’ll opt for a window if I know the flight path will offer great views,” said travel blogger Esther Susag.Basically, if you’ll be flying over the Grand Canyon or landing in the Maldives, you might want a chance to marvel at the sights without craning your neck. If you hate turbulence, consider the wings.There are other advantages to window seats, especially if they’re over the wings. “As someone with a fear of flying, I always prefer the window seat above the wings,” said travel blogger Sean Lau. “I recently learned that this spot is usually the smoothest due to its proximity to the plane’s centre of gravity. Being able to manage the window shade and having the opportunity to glance outside for reassurance comforts me.”Try to sit as close to the front as possible.“I try to sit as forward in the plane as possible so that I can find room for my carry-on in the overhead bin,” Beckford said. “I’m often carry-on-only, and don’t want to be forced to check my bag.”The closer you are to the front of the plane, the less time it takes to board and deplane as well.“Being near the front means deplaning more quickly than other passengers, which can be a lifesaver during quick connections,” noted Eric Rosen, the director of travel content at the website The Points Guy.However, there is one thing to keep in mind about opting for the front row of a plane or section.“If you are sitting in the first row behind a wall, you will have to place your bag in the overhead bin,” said Adam Duckworth, the president and founder of the travel agency Travelmation. “Some people do not like giving up their things, so don’t book this seat if that’s you.”Or at least avoid the last rows.Even if you can’t book a seat close to the front, it’s worth trying to avoid the last few rows of the plane when possible.“I avoid the last couple of rows on the plane, as it offers the roughest ride,” Lau said. “You’ll also have to deal with noise from the passengers using the lavatory. The last row on the plane may not always recline.”For stretching or moving, book an aisle seat.“For long flights, I prefer aisle seats for several reasons,” said Jessica van Dop DeJesus, the founder and editor at The Dining Traveler. “First, it’s easier to deplane without having to wait for several people. Second, it gives me easier access to the overhead bin. And third, it’s easier to get up to stretch my legs and go to the bathroom.”If you’re someone who likes to stand up and stretch, or has to use the lavatory somewhat often, the aisle seat will allow you to do that without worrying about disturbing your fellow passengers.There are ways to get out of your middle seat.If you had to book at the last minute and wind up with a middle seat, just know that there might be a way to get out of it.“Like most people, I avoid the middle seats at all costs unless it’s the only option left when booking late,” Susag said. “But even then, when I get to the gate, I will always as the desk clerk if there are any other openings besides my middle seat. You just never know unless you ask.”You might also wind up in the middle between a couple travelling together. While many might want to stick to their preferred window and aisle seats, it doesn’t hurt to offer to swap so that they can sit next to each other.Avoid the bathroom areas.“I know a ton of people who avoid sitting near a restroom for obvious reasons but also because it’s the area where people tend to gather,” Duckworth said. It’s not always just the last rows that are near bathrooms, especially on larger planes. So when you select your seat on the map, pay attention to where all of the lavatories are located.“Some planes have them in their midsections,” Rosen said. “I try to avoid locations by the lavatories at all costs so I’m not bothered by noise, foot traffic or smells.”Choose exit row seats wisely. Many travellers try to choose seats in exit rows when they fly because there’s often additional room in those areas. But this option can have a drawback as well.“If you are in the main cabin but prefer extra space, then consider getting the exit row — but remember that not all exit row seats will recline,” Duckworth said.Ultimately, every air passenger has different needs when it comes to seat choices. So the next time you fly, assess what you prefer and keep these expert tips in mind to make the best selection for you.Related...8 Mistakes Travellers Make On Short Flights15 Mistakes People Make While Travelling By TrainThe 1 Part Of A Plane Seat Flight Attendants Warn You Should Never Touch

How To Cope With Feelings Of Grief And Loss When A Person With Dementia Is Still Alive
When you’re caring for somebody with dementia, you’re likely to experience many different emotions, including grief. For example, you may experience anticipatory grief at the time of diagnosis, or a series of small losses as the dementia progresses.While this can be disorientating, it’s completely normal. According to Alzheimer’s Society: “When someone feels a sense of loss even though the person with dementia is still alive, this is known as ‘ambiguous loss’ or ‘living grief’.“You may feel that the person’s personality has changed so much that they do not seem to be the same person, leading to a sense of grief that can be difficult to process.”We spoke with Alzheimer’s Society about the grief that often comes hand-in-hand with caring for somebody with dementia.The grief you may experience when caring for somebody with dementia These losses can appear in many ways and aren’t always big or dramatic. For example, it could be a mum who was known for her legendary roast dinners not being able to use an oven anymore. Or a dad who was a die-hard football fan – who knew every fact, figure, player, goal and score – no longer caring about the sport at all.According to Alzheimer’s Society, almost a million people in the UK are living with dementia. This means that there are at least a million versions of this story, leading to ripples of complex emotions running through families. These can include helplessness, guilt, anger, sadness, denial, frustration and even relief.Feelings of loss when a person has dementiaBoth you and the person with dementia may feel a sense of loss as their condition progresses and your relationship changes. This grief may just be for a short time as you experience these changes, or it may be ongoing. They also may go back and forth over time,You may also find that your relationship dynamic may shift, from both of you supporting one another to one where you take on a much more caring responsibility. Your loved one will likely become more dependent on your support, which could be very difficult for both of you to get used to.How to process these feelingsThese feelings of loss and grief may make your caring responsibilities feel more difficult. Alzheimer’s Society said: “It’s important to acknowledge any feelings you have and try not to feel guilty about them. There is no right or wrong way to grieve or cope with loss.”When you’re supporting somebody with dementia, you may find that your emotions are often interchangeable. You may feel that you’re coping well, but then at other times feel that you’re overwhelmed by grief, or even completely numb. Anger and resentment are also common emotions as people process their frustrations with the difficulties ahead of both themselves and the person with dementia.While you may feel guilty or shocked for having these feelings, they are a natural and valid response to a very difficult situation.Caring for a person with dementia can take a huge emotional toll and these feelings can be difficult to cope with, especially if the people around you don’t understand or accept the impact the person’s dementia is having on you.How to manage your feelings when caring for somebody with dementiaWhile there is no right or wrong way to feel when dealing with something so difficult, Alzheimer’s Society has offered the following tips for coping:Find ways to express your feelings and how the situation is affecting youSome people find it helpful to write a journal or to do creative activities such as art, music, or drama. Others may find that allowing themselves to cry helps them to express their grief.Consider your own needs, tooTry to make time to do something for yourself each day, such as meeting or calling friends, watching a favourite television show, or taking time to listen to music. Taking some time to relax even for a short time is very important.Look after your physical and mental healthTry to eat well, get as much rest as you can and do some exercise. If you’re feeling low or anxious, or are very tired or not sleeping, speak to your GP.Look after any spiritual needs you haveIf you regularly go to religious services, try to continue doing so. If you’re not able to go to a place of worship, watching online services, praying or singing at home can be helpful.Take a break, if you think it will helpIf you feel that you need a break to help you cope, you can speak to a social worker or dementia support worker about arranging this. Friends or family may also be able to step in to help.Focus on the things that you and the person can still do togetherThere will be lots of changes to adjust to as the person’s dementia progresses. But try to also look for new opportunities to spend time with the person, as well as other interests you have that you enjoy.Alzheimer’s Society added: “There is no one right way to experience or cope with a loved one’s dementia - emotions experienced are likely to be different for everyone, but whilst almost always difficult and challenging, it’s important to remember that you are not alone.”Alzheimer’s Society is there for people again and again, through the hardest, most frightening times.
