As I posted back in July, Warner Bros will be holding a special event at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter from November 11th-13th. Today they have issued a press release announcing the tentative cast and crew attending the event. The list could change meaning some cast members may not be in attendance and some may be added.
The release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” will also be marked by a special celebration at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort, where the Harry Potter stories live on. TheHarry Potter Home Entertainment Celebration will consist of a series of special events to be attended by cast and filmmakers from the Harry Potter films.

Photos of the Potter actresses may be seen in the gallery; here and here, thanks to Universal for sending them over!

Evanna Lynch along with James and Oliver Phelps will be doing some Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II promotion in Italy in the beginning of July. A translation of the press release is as follows:

As we posted back in April, the French premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II will be taking place in Paris on July 12th, the day after the NYC premiere. Rupert-Grint.us have emailed this morning to let us know that Rupert Grint will not be in attendance at the premiere.
Evanna Lynch confirmed on her twitter this past weekend that she will be attending the French premiere, and subsequently will probably not be at the USA premiere because it clashes with the French..
UPDATE: Oliver Phelps also confirmed that he, and James, I assume, will be in attendance at the French premiere.
