I just saw a commercial for the new movie Mamma Mia, that comes out July 16th in the US, and noticed that Julie Walters is in it. Julie plays Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter films.  She is playing the character Rosie in the film which is:

‘The story of a bride-to-be trying to find her real father told using hit songs by the popular ’70s group ABBA’.

Julie Walters from the Harry Potter films will be playing “Mary Whitehouse, who embarked on a one-woman mission to clean up British television, in a new BBC drama”.
Julie plays Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter films.

The Mary Whitehouse Story will be broadcast on BBC 2 at 9pm on Wednesday May 28.

  There is a new interview with Julie Walters, Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter movies.

“The funny thing was that a rumour went around once that I was an avid reader of the Harry Potter books and that I was always first in the queue when they came out. Not the case, I’m afraid. Someone caught me thumbing through one on a bookstand and all I was doing – I admit it – was checking whether or not JK Rowling, the author, had written my character out! It was pure self-interest. I got to the magic words ‘Mrs Weasley’, realised I wasn’t going to be the impending corpse and put the book back on the shelf.”

According to SnitchSeeker:

Screenonline has created an interactive interview with Julie Walters (a.k.a. Mrs. Weasley) where users can choose which questions they’d like her to answer. There is one Harry Potter question listed under the ‘Family’ section in which Walters compares the set of The Burrow from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets to her own home. She also discusses the kitchen set in detail describing how the pot washing itself in the sink was an actual machine and not edited in later with special effects.
