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 just watched it and it was great. I caught a couple of glimpses of Emma, Rupert and Matthew, but no Dan. It was a shame that they didn't have a bigger part to play, but it was still great to watch.

I saw it on TV a few hours ago, and the skit was better than I expected- a lot less cheesy! Didn't see Jo reading though...

It was a nice skit, even though I had a hard time understanding some of what they were saying. They did a good job of making it seem like part of an HP movie.

That is great, I'll have to watch the video when I get a chance. I bet it was quite an event to be a part of. That is kind of neat, to be one of the first into the Garden.

I watched the whole thing and I was suprised to see Emma Watson sitting right in front of the Queen. Queenie could've kicked her if she misbehaved! No Dan though *sob sob*
Take care. Trains are evil.
