Warwick Davis will be joining the cast of Spamalot from 23rd September. He started his career playing the role of Wicket the Ewok in Star Wars VI: Return of The Jedi and went on to star in the fantasy feature film Willow. He then appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia, Labyrinth and the Leprechaun films, before returning to Star Wars in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Further success followed when he starred in the Harry Potter films, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and in Jack the Giant Slayer (though not as the Giant, obviously). His TV credits include the BBC shows Extras, Merlin, Doctor Who and Life’s Too Short.

Warwick Davis said; “I’m delighted to be making my West End debut at the Playhouse Theatre. I’ve been in hit TV shows and blockbuster Hollywood movies, but you are never really taken seriously as an actor until you’ve done a play. That’s why I jumped at the opportunity to play Patsy in Spamalot.”

Today, July 31st, marks the birthday of two of our favorite people!  Harry Potter turns 33 today and J.K. Rowling is celebrating her 48th birthday.

Harry is currently married to Ginny and they have three children; James Sirius, Albus Severus and Lily Luna! Harry currently works as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic and successfully defeated the Dark Lord 15 years ago!

JK Rowling is married to Neil Murray and has three children; Jessica Isabel, David Gordon and Mackenzie Jean. Currently she is enjoying the success of her new book, The Cuckoo’s Calling, as well as working on other projects.

We wish them both amazing birthdays and many more to come!

The big news in J.K. Rowling land lately is the fact that the author wrote a new book, The Cuckoo’s Calling, under a pseudonym and she was outed by the friend of one of the partners at her law firm. Today the BBC is reporting that the author settled out of court with the law firm in question – Russells Solicitors. Rowling took legal action against Chris Gossage, a partner at Russells Solicitors, and his friend, Judith Callegari (who was the one who actually outed Rowling.)

According to the article: Mr Gossage, Ms Callegari and Russells all apologised and the firm agreed to pay the author’s legal costs. It also agreed to make a payment, by way of damages, to The Soldiers’ Charity, formerly known as the Army Benevolent Fund. Rowling explained that she was donating the money “partly as a thank you to the army people” who helped her with research. “But also because writing a hero who is a veteran has given me an even greater appreciation and understanding of exactly how much this charity does for ex-servicemen and their families, and how much that support is needed,” she said.

Rowling will also be donating royalties from the book to the charity.  Major General Martin Rutledge, chief executive of ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, was very thrilled by  J.K.’s generosity and said: “This donation will make a huge difference to the lives of thousands of soldiers, former soldiers and their families who are in real need. Her tremendous show of support for The Soldiers’ Charity will help to remind people of the many sacrifices made by our soldiers, long after any news of Afghanistan has left the front page.”
