Last weekend, Stephen Fry, the voice behind the British version of the Harry Potter audio books, celebrated his 50th birthday and author JK Rowling, as well as some actors from the movies, participated in a televised celebration
on the BBC's Stephen Fry 50 Not Out program.
You can watch video from the show featuring JK Rowling, Emma Thompson (Trelawney), Kenneth Branagh (Lockhart), Imelda Staunton (Umbridge), David Tennant (Barty Crouch Jr) & Rick Mayall (Peeves) here.

I really do like his version of the audio books. I have both his and Jim Dale's. They are quite different in their approach. Nice to see all participate in the celebration.

I'm glad that some of the actors from the movies were able to attend this party. I've heard he does an excellent job voicing the books, as also does the from the US version.

WHAT?! Peeves? I didn't know that they had an actor for Peeves. Maybe that is for the computer game or something, he has a nice voice.

That's cool, that they had the birthday bash for him. Happy (belated) birthday to Stephen!!!
But I thought Peeves was never in any of the movies? I didn't know Rick Mayall was cast as him. Maybe they were planning on putting him in but then didn't.

How funny! I wish we could see his shows here in the states. I would love to see the show they all did with The Young Ones. I loved that show when I was in college. We watched in on MTV. I hope he had a wonderful birthday.
