This year is the twentieth anniversary of Harry Potter!!! The first film, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, premiered in 2001 and as a huge fan of the series, I had to mark the anniversary somehow so here I am sharing some behind-the-scenes facts from the movies.  Chris Columbus, who directed the first film, wanted Daniel Radcliffe to play Harry potter after seeing him in a production of David Copperfield . Daniel's parents initially refused to let him audition but agreed after Columbus convinced them that Daniel would be protected from the media J.K. Rowling was asked to portray Harry's mother Lily during the Mirror of Erised scene, but she declined due to her not being an actress and worrying she would mess it up. Geraldine Somerville ended up taking the role.  Both Robin Williams and Rosie O'Donnell wanted to be cast in the film without pay, but Rowling turned them down because she wanted a strictly British cast. Williams wanted to play Hagrid and O'Donnell Mo...

Hello everyone! A lot of people are returning to school and work in offices this week and in this post, I am sharing some tips on preparing to return to work and settling back into your office or workplace. Image from surewash.com 1. Talk about your anxiety and fears  It is natural to feel some anxiety about returning to work. If you are feeling anxious or feel nervous about anything, talk to your manager about it. They are there to support their employees and will understand how you may be feeling. They could find ways to make the transition easier for you.  2. Communicate with the team Communication is very important. Talk to the manager and your colleagues about what rules and safety measures are in place in your workplace and plan how the move back in will happen. Will everyone go back on the same day or one team/section at a time? Will you be in the office from Monday-Friday or could you go in two days to start with?  3. Re-wire your body clock.  In lockdown, yo...
