Harry Potter actors Richard Griffiths and Julie Walters are scheduled to receive
Orders of the British Empire (OBE) and Commander of the British Empire (CBE) respectively.
These awards were created by King George V in 1917 and are now awarded mainly to civilians and service personnel for public service or other distinctions.
Others to receive this honor include actor Sir Ian McKellen, singer Kylie Minogue and television interviewer Michael Parkinson, to name a few.
Congratulations to both actors.

Congratulations to all! I wonder when Jo will next be honoured? Not only has she helped many children take an interest in reading, but she has also helped many charities.

Well done! They certainly deserve it although I have only a vague idea what it is exactly about. I'm not so sure Kylie Minogue actually deserves it.

Extremely cool, but shouldn't JKR have gotten one of these? Unless she already has one, i don't think so though...
