Harry Potter Series to be Honored at BAFTA Awards
Posted by Megs

The Harry Potter series will be receiving the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema at this year’s Orange British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA). JK Rowling and David Heyman will receive the award on behalf of the franchise during the ceremony at London’s Royal Opera House on Sunday 13 February 2011.

Finola Dwyer, Chair of the Film Committee commented, “As this great British film success story draws to a close with this year’s eagerly anticipated final instalment, it’s fitting that BAFTA honours the Harry Potter films and their contribution to the British film industry. We’re delighted to have the opportunity to celebrate with JK Rowling and David Heyman at the Film Awards.”

Producer David Heyman said, “On behalf of the over 2000 people who worked in front of and behind the camera on each of the Harry Potter films I would like to say how honoured we all are to receive this Award. And thank you to Jo Rowling for entrusting us to bring her magnificent books to the screen.”

Daniel Radcliffe who plays the eponymous hero remarked, “I am thrilled that the Harry Potter film series is being honoured with this Award. I have loved every minute of making these films and to me the real heroes are the crew and the huge team of craftsmen that have made all eight of them possible – this Award is a testament to their incredible work.”

Emma Watson who plays Hermione Granger said, “This is a huge honour! I am so proud to have been part of the incredible team both in front and behind the camera that made these films. Thank you to Jo Rowling for writing such wonderful books, to David Heyman for shepherding us all through the past ten years and to all the loyal fans who have been with us throughout”

Rupert Grint who plays Ron Weasley added, “Thank you so much BAFTA for this amazing Award. We have spent half our lives making these films and are so proud of the pleasure they have given the fans and the contribution they have made to British cinema.”

Alfred Enoch Stars in ‘The Seagull’ at the Oxford Playhouse
Posted by Megs

Alfred Enoch, who played Dean Thomas in the Harry Potter films was recently in a play called The Seagull at the Oxford Playhouse.  The play ran from .  There is also a new interview with the star where he briefly mentions the Potter series, the play and why he is getting a degree.

“It was the most regular instalment in my life and one that I was very comfortable with because in that time you get to know everyone,” Alfie, now 22, says. “It was an amazing experience and a very fortuitous one.” Fortuitous? Why? “Well, because I didn’t go to the auditions. I remember thinking ‘why would they want me in their multi-million-pound movie?’ “But I was on The Globe youth tour for a season and someone saw me in that, asked me to audition, and I got the part.” he beams.

“So if I’ve learned anything from the experience, it’s that it IS best to go for auditions.”

So when Alfie heard Oxford University students were putting on The Seagull at The Playhouse he jumped at the chance. And taking on the part of Trigorin in the Chekhov play during his final year hasn’t fazed Alfie. “I’m looking forward to bringing the character to life,” he tells me. “It’s such a challenge because theatre needs to be a two-way street. It shouldn’t just be a passive experience for the audience, so I want to challenge them, not bludgeon them with information.”

And yet people still ask Alfie why he’s bothering with a degree. “I don’t see why not. It seemed natural to carry on with my education and I have really enjoyed it, even if at times it’s been challenging to fit it in with all the filming. It was more about finding the right balance and about time management than anything else.”

So what next? More acting? “I do feel the need,” he grins. “I just love going out on stage. I feel immediately comfortable out there. And this is what I want to do. So what could be more useful than taking on the enormous challenge of playing Trigorin in The Seagull? It will be an invaluable experience.”

Some photos of Alfie in the play may be viewed below. (click to view them larger)

It’s a little late to be posting this, but I figured everyone would be interested anyway.
