Would it kill Kloves to even attempt to capture the Trio like this? Harry's dark humour and sarcastic nature is one of the main things I love about him and why even with Fred and George and all the other funny characters, Harry is the funniest one of all to me. I thought the skit captured the characters very well and makes Kloves/anyone else associated with how badly the Trio have been progressively portrayed, look very pathetic.

The hair...hmmm..... Hermione's is supposed to be bushy and Harry is supposed to have perpetual bed-head (but Ron's was long). Thus, hair was out of character. As for the queen: no offense, but doesn't she usually look bored?

I Liked it. The only mistake was theat Ron said Voldemort. Hello? He shudders at the word.

Omigosh, Emma looks horrible in that pic of her in front of the Queen. Positively alarming. And Dan....has short hair? It looks weird, hopefully it grows out a bit for OOTP. And this is coming from the girl who hates it when he had long hair...grrr, I can't make up my mind! ^_^

The acting wasn't great as many have commented on, especially Emma's. However, I was ecstatic to see the trio again in character, costumes and all. I can't wait for the new film. Through out the skit the main thought on my mind was 'what the HELL has Dan done to his hair?!' I didn't like it in GoF either, but it looked quite nice in the GoF DVD special features. Gah, and Matt's hair. I know, it's rather vain for me to focus in on stuff like that but I can't help it. Also... why would they think that having two people saying Accio together while clutching both hands on their wands would have a different effect than doing it alone and with one hand? It DID work, which made me roll my eyes a bit, but eh I'm nitpicking a skit meant for kids.

OMG! I was watching the video, and it didn't show what happened at the end! MAN... that stinks... but personally, I think the video was a bit- not DUMB, but weird, I guess. They joked around the right way though, exactly how Harry and Ron really would.

In the video, Emma and Jo weren't shown, or am I just blind

I didnt get to see all of it because the clip was cut off....

I think that the queen, being the queen, is completely entitled to look bored whenever. She is the Queen! Who doesn't hold her in AWE? In any case, I wish the clip didn't cut out before the end. I will never know now if she got her hand bag back! Or what kind it was!

Could somebody help me out here? I tried watching the clip and it ended when the officer was saying "That's what you get for using underaged wizards." What happens after that?

I was glad to hear that emma was there, she is my favorite. And who wont be sorry to see Harry Potter end? Ah well, all good things must come to an end at some time.

Jo, you can meet me any time! And while you're at it, give me the book seven manuscript! Just kidding.

it was pretty funny, but the story was boring and the acting was ok...you could tell they had to make it quickly, and it really wasn't too bad. the queen looked almost miserable in the one shot of her, though.

the Queen's party sounded like a lot of fun; the Harry Potter clip was really awesome!!! they did a good job of putting it on, and it was neat to see Jo there as well as Emma and Rupert!!!!

What's the betting this will be an Ootp DVD extra?

I hope it will be on the Ootp DVD - then I can find out how it ends!!

Awesome we can see it! But it is sad that JO is sad that Harry Potter is ending... so why not write more, JK! There's an idea!!!

i thought rupert and dan were pretty funny, very in character, emma was off as usual. i don't care if matt was pointless or if his haircut sucks, he's my heart. he's adorable! they should throw him in many random scenes. dan's hair is closer to canon than it has been. i never imagined him with a super great hair cut, aunt petunia cuts his hair after all. but it could have been messier. rupert's hair looked okay. hermione's too perfect. and neville seems like he could be the victim of a bad haircut. it was cute for a little skit. not great, but okay. and someone said the queen looked miserable, she's 80, noone at that age feels too great running around in the heat meeting everyone and doing stuff, i'm sure she'd be happier just sitting in a recliner just enjoying her birthday with family.

Ack-ee-o?? What? According to the Scholastic prounouncing guide it's Ah-see-o. Dan said it properly in GoF, so why the switch?

Dan said Akkio in GOF. Watch the movie again.

How does it end???

Excuse me, I know this doesn't have anything to do with this news, but is anyone else having problems getting in the CoS forums? I need to know if it is my computer or the site. Thanks.

The acting was super...specially Dan's man he is becoming more Harry like than Rupert and Emma, Dan surely can be sarcastic, he acting was great and so natural, Rupert was ok but at times he seems to be a bit force, Emma didn't move her eyebrow a lot do that was a great improvement, but again why Hermoine has to save the day, Mathew bless him, his haircut was wayb too funny but hey is just a movie so I don't really care about hair.

That's cool, but the sound won't work for me on the video. Anyone have any ideas?

Aww haha i love the part when Dan suggest Veritaserum then Emma's like we don't know who the thief is then Dan says "good point" really quietly lol i liked the skit it showed the actors a bit more laid back :]

It cut me off. I need to see the end. I think I am going to cry. :( xx Kmac

Look, it IS 'akkio' and not 'assio'. Do not trust the pronunciation guide. Trust Jo (apart from 'Voldemort' which she pronounces without the 't', as do a lot of people).

Is it just me, or did Matthew Lewis, who was sitting next to rupert with the queen, look, well, rather hot? ... ... Makes me regret not meeting him when he was in the country even more...

Orleon - I'm with you. I've been asking people to tell me how it ends for over an hour. WAAAAA!

yea crookshanks800 and karaz(btw like Chrisell said dan did say akkio in GOF when he was getting his broomstick), i was wondering the same thing...whenever i read the book i said ah see oh but i guess if JKRowling says akkio its akkio!

For people wondering about the "ah-see-oh" versus "a-kee-oh": I pronounce it as a combination. Like "accident", only "ak-see-oh". Just wanted to get my two cents in...

Well, about the akkio verses aseeo, I always said the second one, but in the movie Dan said the first one. I don't think I've ever heard JKR say it at all, but I think in the American audio books, they say aseeo. But it doesn't really matter. Anyway, I thought the skit was cute. I could see little kids enjoying it. Everyone's hair was kind of bad. I don't know why they can't put it like it was in PoA. They had good hair then. Except Hermione's wasn't bushy enough. As usual, Rupert Grint was underused. He has wonderful comic timing, and he is a really well rounded actor. I hope to God that this new screenwriter writes Ron more like in the books, and stop shoving him in the background. Sure, Harry and Hermione are friends, but Harry said himself in the GoF book, she just isnt the same as Ron. They need to stop Hollywoodizing it by having a leading man and a leading lady. Anyway, I got really off topic. Sorry! I just can't stand the constant ignorance of my favorite character!

As for the accio argument, I think it depends if one speaks classical or medieval latin. If one is using the classical pronunciation, the sound is "k", if medieval, "ch". (Unless you're in Hollywood in which case all Latin speakers have a British accent.)

JKR looks so pretty in that photo!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

At least the play was better than the third movie.

"You can never really tell till you get near the end. I;m not quite there yet." ...?!? The last book came out a year ago, and judging by this quote the next one will be out two years from now. If I have to wait that long I'll die. The suspence is killing me...

You know, I get some form of BBC and I flipped through to see if there was anything regarding it on their. Yet alas, nothing. I mean, I assume I could read it with what everyone is saying on here, but I would really like to watch it. Perhaps a rerun airtime could be requested. If not, they may have a transcript. And if not that I say "Accio 'complete footage of The Queen's Party at the Palace" However the heck it's pronounced. lol xx Kate

Wow, man!!! I have only one word for it! Funny!!!! The boys holding the wand with both hands and saying Accio were funny! I had the feeling that they were holding themselves to avoid to laugh. When all the bangs appears, the wide open eye of the owl. Neville. The boys and girl just look the old same. Loved it!!! PS.: People. Stop complaining about hair and action. I think it mean exactly what it was, funny and lame... on purpose.

Sorry to write so, but JKR´s dress remembered me (because of the colours and the muster) of my mummy´s old pinafore/smock. Don´t be angry but this was my first thought I had, hahaha. Anyway the performance was toooooo childish in terms of the dark and sinister development of the Harry Potter storytelling and plot.

I'm about to give up on this...stuff. Look, page me when book 7 has a title and give me a ring when we have a real release date. Sheesh.

Hey, how did it end? Did the accio charm work? Did her majesty get her lost hand bag? Grrr! I hate loose ends!

I downloaded the video and it stopped before the policeman does the charm. I like the skit, though.

oh my god so cool! i'm so glad to see dan, rupe, and emma there. well, at least i think i saw rupe and em there. lol. anyway, can't wait to see the video! pictures look awesome! :D

Would you people shut it with the damn hair controversy. It's so annoying. It's "Harry Potter" not "Hairy Potter"! These books and these movies are not about hair and yet throughout 143 comments that is all that is talked about, it seems.

For alll of you desperate to know, the video everyone in the audience tries the accio (or as they pronounce it ackeyo) charm and it fails. They give it one more try louder and it works. The burglar and the handbag appear. The capture the burglar after he tries to flee, the queen comes on waves her glasses in the air, puts them on and reads her speech.

Ah, thanks...resolution...

I loved the skit. It was cute. Very Harry Potter-ish.

Posted by Nevera 4 hours ago At least the play was better than the third movie. LOL! ...and I almost agree.

Could they possibly make HP any more suckier? No wonder people say that HP is for 'kiddies'. What a massacre.

HELP HELP CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THE SCRIPT OF PLAY I CANT MAKE IT OUT. I CANT UNDERSTAND THE ACCENT AT ALL.POST YOUR SCRIPT HERE ONLY SO I CAN READ IT LATER.
