I think we all know how good she is as an actress and I think she is perfect as Molly Weasley. What a great mother. She was excellent in that older movie, 'Educating Rita'. Rent it if you ever get a chance. Very good!

Woohoo, go Julie!! Still live'n'kickin', I see.
What was that thing a while back - was it the BAFTA Tribute to Julie that the kids attended? Yeah I think they should do one of those again, but for Maggie Smith ...
haha, I love Maggie Smith - I wanna be a Dame, too.

It is really nice to see members of the supporting cast getting honors. It looks like they all are getting them around. Oh it will be interesting to see how the new actors in Prsioner fare, since many are so well known.

I'm so happy for her!!! she is one of the best actress in the world, her work in calendar girls is so good, she is the best, she deserve every award she get, and the best thing is that there's no better Mrs. Wesley, she is perfect for that part, I'm always repeating that part of the movie Chamber of secrets "where have you been????... beds empty, no note, car gone.." ohhhh is so good, I'm happy for her. I know that because of the movie times her participation will be very short, but it is always good to see it, I can't wait the second visit to the borrow in the Goblet of fire film!!! this is going to rule!!!
Saludos

Sorry to nerd out on you there.

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!:)
