Yayz!!! Congrats to Julie Walters!!! I think she is a great actress anywayz....she seems like a really sweet lady...she has such a warm and loving smile....so motherly, thats the character she presents as mrs. weasley...well, thats how mrs. wealsey is supposed to be, a warm and caring person, with you know...the motherly nature and stuff...so she nails the character righ on the head, which makes her a really good actress because she is able to adapt to such characteristics, but it seems to me that, that is her true nature, but then again maybe not cauz actors are supposed to make you believe that you are your character, whih makes her a brilliant actress....okay i think i just went in circles...sorry if it is confusing but i think you get my point....well...YAYZ!!!! FOR JULIE WALTERS!!! WOOHOO!!!
