"Gutted I can't be with you this evening," he says, "particularly as the Empire awards 

is renowned for being the most debauched evening. If it's not going like that, maybe 

drink more. I will take this back to Leavesden and it will galvanise us as we move 

into the second film. I will keep this shiny object away from the Niffler." (x)
