Actress Julie Walters was made CBE today at ceremonies held at Buckingham Palace in London, England, where the Harry Potter actress received this special honor from the Prince of Wales. Julie Walters, who portrays Molly Weasley, was made “Commander of the British Empire” at the ceremony, and upon presenting the award for her services to drama in the UK, Prince Charles told the actress how much he enjoyed the Harry Potter films. The Daily Mail reports:

“The Prince said he loved the Potters and said what great films they were and what great fun they were. “Then I told him I’m writing my memoirs at the moment and he said ‘oh you must have the editors constantly on’ and I said yes I know, ‘constantly saying have you got it done, how much more have you written’ – so he really got into that one.”

At this link you can read more and see a photo of Julie Walters with the Prince of Wales. You can learn more about these honors which are given to recognise exceptional achievement or service in the UK via this link. Congratulations Julie Walters!

I recommend her on Victoria Wood show (including Acorn Antiques and the ‘Two Soups’ sketch). He comic acting is brilliant. (I have Educ Rita on dvd as well).

I reckon Jo will be upgraded to another Order at some point in the future.

It´s nice that Prince Charles likes the HP movies, that shows once more that HP is for all ages and all social clases. And the books are verrry britisch.

Sometimes I can´t understand fully what Jo means when she describes some particular event. It´s thanks to friends in England who explain me the full meanings that I can follow the jokes or situations.

Anne: The Honour itself is called The Order of the British Empire and the MBE, OBE, and CBE are ranks within that; so the correct style is Member of the Order of the British Empire, Officer of the Order of the British Empire and Commander of the Order of the British Empire. HTH.

Congratulations to Julie Walters on being made a CBE. Truly one of our best loved actresses.

Hermione was now refusing to speak to Harry and Ron, but she was such a bossy know-it-all that they saw this as an added bonus.
