I am so glad to see HP actors being recognised for their other work... we might actually find more people watching HP now that everyone has been in the news...
I love Julie's work. It is a shame that she has to have such a hard childhood, but those experiences sure have made for an interesting adult! Congratulations to her!:)

I adore her, she's an amazing actress that has the talent to become her characters. Out of all the casting they've done for the Harry Potter films, she was the best choice. It's so good she's getting recognized for her craft.

Living in the states I haven't seen any of those things but it sure sounds like she is a talented actress. I look forward to seeing more of her in Harry Potter and hopefully her role will grow in the movies.

I never saw her in this programme - if I knew she was in it I would have made sure I watched becuase she is excellent in everything. And if I remember rightly she got to snuggle up to Paul Nicholls too! Lucky so and so :)

That's brilliant! I know I've seen her in other roles than Mrs Weasley, but I can't remember any. :/
But she is without a doubt a great actress, so she deserves the award!
