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.

Ah gotta love parties! The video was hilarous. Nice pictures. I didn't realize that was Emma at first, but she looks good as always, Rupert as well.

The play was fun to watch. They should let these people handle the HP movies.

So lovely to see JKR! What did she read from HBP? I would have so loved to have been there to hear that!
Ok, so the skit wasn't as scary as I'd feared it would be. It was funny here and there, even. I just thought it'd be way too tame to be amusing. It's a bit out of context for those of us who couldn't see the whole show, though. Like, who was the thief? Did I miss something in the video? What happened after Hermione sent her note on? Anyway, everyone was looking and sounding great. It is a bit of a teaser for OotP, isn't it?! We've got a looooong way to go.

The video was cute...made me anxious for the movie...or at least a teaser!!!
If JKR is sad about the finishing up the series, she should write us a few more HP books!

The clip was amazing!!!!!! Although I do wish Dan and Rupert would've kept their GoF hairstyles. The short look isn't working as well for me. Even though I know this obviously isn't an actual scenario in HP, I couldn't help but notice how Ron said "Voldemort"....

I saw all the videos and I loved them!! Believe it or not... I actually got into the storyline and found myself upset that I couldn't see if the Queen got her handbag or not! (I'm scaring myself!) Oh well!!

Ahhh, I feel so good after having a new video and interview to watch and read. Both were great; I especially always love reading JKR's interviews. Sound's like the party was fun, especially for little kids.

I wonder what exactly they're going to do, I wish I could see it, maybe they'll tape it or something and have it on the internet.
