Actors in the News Weekly Roundup

This week, the awards season is in full swing and we have news about
projects some of the Harry Potter actors have been working on. Firstly,
thanks to Christian,
we can bring you the news that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma
Watson (Hermione Granger), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Tom Felton
(Draco Malfoy) are in the running for the German Bravo Otto Best Star
in Cinema 2009 Award. You can vote for up to three of the nominees on
the shortlist here on the Bravo website.

Secondly, James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) are aiming to raise £500 for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution
by selling their secrets. SOS Day is the RNLI’s biggest fundraiser day
and takes place on the 29th of January. The RNLI will use the money
raised to train and equip their 40,000+ volunteers, enabling them to
continue protecting Britain’s coasts and also to help out in both
national and international flooding emergencies. More information on
the “Sell Our Secrets” challenge and a place to donate can be found on
the Phelps’ JustGiving page here or at the RNLI Facebook page. James and Oliver Phelps can also be seen in a YouTube video talking about the challenge.

Thirdly, an article on Empire Online reveals that Ciaran Hinds (Aberforth Dumbledore) has joined the cast of “John Carter of Mars”. Filming has already commenced in London. Many thanks to UniversHarryPotter for the tip.
