In the exhibit, guests will be able to experience dramatic displays inspired by the Harry Potter film sets and see the amazing craftsmanship behind authentic costumes and props from the films.  Harry Potter: The Exhibition will run in Seattle through January 30, 2011.

Thanks to Warner Brothers for emailing!

Thanks to my friends at HP4U we can now share with you some details about the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows wrap party that Matthew attended this past Saturday.  Read their full report and all the photos, here!  You may also see the photos from the event at Magical-Menagerie’s galleries!! No photos of Matt so far, I’m afraid.

Ok, so most important I guess is that in attendance of course were Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Emma looked stunning as always, quite often going unnoticed with her new look, Daniel was just Daniel! – more than happy to chat, sign, have his photo taken with fans, and Rupert was as laid back as always, on this occasion flying in after a well deserved holiday and arriving in style in his brand new super car which is a stunning and super cool Audi, enough said on that, except to say…………….. Go easy Rupert!! remember the premiums!!

Whilst the food was delicious, the fact that we were sat having lunch alongside David Heyman and David Bradley, whilst the brilliant Jarvis Cocker mixed tracks and was resident DJ on the stage was rather surreal; save the fact that Alan Rickman, Mathew Lewis, so many of the stars, who would have ordinarily not have been able to spend much time together were walking around and having fun was even more of an experience never to forget.

Once we made it out back onto the runway, where hundreds of guests were dancing, it was quite simply a who’s who of some of Britain’s finest Actors and Actresses, all of whom have worked on the Potter films, and all more than happy to chat, joke, share a photo and sign a few souvenirs. John Hurt (how cool it was to see John Hurt here!!!) Jim Broadbent, Mark Williams, Mathew Lewis, Tom Felton, Jason Isaacs, David Legeno, Bonnie Wright, Afshad Azan, James and Oliver Phelps, Suzie Toase, Ralph Inerson, Natalia Tena, Nick Moran (Scabior (and now acclaimed writer and Director of the Kid)), Jessie Cave, Geraldine Somerville, David Baron, David Thewlis, Alan Rickman & of course, Daniel, Rupert and Emma. These were just the few we got to talk to!!! And there might well have been more. Sadly JK Rowling did not attend, or if she did we missed her.

Since it is now July 30th in the UK it is time to start celebrating Neville Longbottom’s birthday!  As you all know, Matt plays Neville in the Harry Potter films.

Neville is turning 30 years old and is married to Hannah Abbot.  He is the Herbology teacher at Hogwarts and she is the new owner of The Three Broomsticks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEVILLE!!!!

Thanks to Sandra we have found two more videos of Matthew at the London Film and Comic Con.  The first video is about Harry Potter and he talks about Deathly Hallows and more.  In the second video, he talks about his role in The Sweet Shop.

Today we have High Definition download links for the ABC Family Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows previews.  I’m only going to post the links for “The Story” here, since that is the clip Matt is in, you can download the other two clips, here!
