The Children's Party
to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s 80th birthday took place today and in attendance were author JK Rowling and actors Rupert Grint and Matthew Lewis. While Jo read from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, a video featuring Dan, Rupert, Emma and Matthew was shown as part of the skit for the search for the Queen’s handbag.
CBBC Newsround has a brief report of the event:
Harry Potter author JK Rowling was among one of the first celebrities to make her way into the garden and later read from The Half-Blood Prince.
You can view the video here of the Potter skit courtesy of DR.com and here courtesy of DR.co.uk. You can read a transcript of the video courtesy of SnitchSeeker.
Additional video of the event can been seen here courtesy of MuggleNet.
Pictures can be viewed here, more will be added when they become available.
UPDATE: Thanks to MuggleNet you can see a picture here of Emma and Rupert sitting in front of the Queen.
UPDATE II: JK Rowling commented from the event that she is sad that the Harry Potter saga is coming to an end and when pressed for a publication date for the last book said:
I'm doing well I think. You can never really tell till you get near the end. I am not quite there yet.
UPDATE: III CBBC Newsround aired a report from the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations, which featured a brief interview with authors Jacqueline Wilson (who praised Harry Potter) and J.K.Rowling. The report can be viewed in Real Player (go to the link and launch Newsround Player, then choose the Monday, June 26 selection) which is about 2 minutes and 45 seconds in, you will also catch a brief shot of Rupert, Matthew and Emma signing autographs for fans. Thanks to SnitchSeekerfor the link.

The video was great! And everyone was completely right, their hair looked better when they were moving. It looked aweful in all of the pictures, but seeing it in the videow...well they looked good! Oh, I WISH I could have been there though!

That was so funny. I laughed the whole time. The queen looked as though she wanted to kill herself though. I don't know what I'd do if I were 80 and someone threw me a birthday party for ten year olds so I can't really blame her.

Yay! Just seeing that video makes me excited for the next movie. Really though, do we know who stole the Queen's handbag? It just kind of left off with the owl flying away. I do like that picture of Emma and Rupert next to the Queen. Pretty cool!

That's an awesome clip, I'm glad someone posted it online. Too bad it doesn't really conclude anything, but it's just fantastic. I hope that Emma, Dan and Rupert don't get type casted.

The clip was adorable but I really didn't understand what Hermonie was talking about... was the purse mystery solved? I wish JKR would get finished with the book already, reading about more deaths is driving me nuts.
