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.

I thought that this little play would be something really good but after reading the Harry Potter books and seeing the movies, I would have thought it to be different from this. I was disappointed when I saw this.

Ahh I'm certainly going to go download those! I wonder what was going through Emma's, Dan's and Rupert's mind...
Perhaps something like: O.M.G, it's the Queen!

Wow the Queen's birthday looked like it was such a big celebration (as it should be, she doesn't turn 80 everyday). I'm gonna begin reading those transcripts too.

Well that would have been a party i would have more than willingly gone to if I had the opportunity. So much was going on, and I wouldn't have minded running into some HP affiliated people =D

It must get annoying to answer the same few questions from dozens of different people and especially at events unrelated to your own endeavors, it's like hearing a short playlist of hit songs on the radio over and over and over...

Go Queenie rock on being 80. What an honor it would be to meet the Queen. I wonder if she has read the whole HP series. How cool would that be.

I happened to see the pictures at the Leaky Cauldron a couple of months back. The Queen certainly doesn't look her age! And I loved Jo's dress!!!
