Harry Potter actors appearing at conventions

[DeltaSquadSev11]

Not related to any of the conventions you've listed here, but Chris Rankin (Percy Weasley) is listed to attend a event called Heroes & Legends in Belfast, Northern Ireland on the 16th and 17th of February. This event focuses on a lot of science-fiction and fantasy franchises including Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Star Trek and others. I'm hoping to attend so if I do I'll hopefully have a chat with him and get his autograph. If I can make it, he'll be the first Harry Potter celebrity I'll have met at an event.

Just been announced today that Hugh Mitchell (Colin Creevey) will also be attending the Heroes & Legends event, along with Chris Rankin who was already announced. Now I get to meet two Harry Potter actors in one go!

Seems Heroes & Legends aren't quite done with Harry Potter-related guests (they had no Harry Potter actors last year), but several days ago they announced Welsh actor Ian Whyte would be attending their event. As I found out (I didn't know this before he was announced), Ian actually (as a incredibly tall actor at over 7' foot) played Madame Maxine for the long-range shots of the whole character, while the close-ups of Maxine were done by the actress who was credited as playing her. Pretty interesting, huh? Very tempted to get Ian's autograph on a Madame Maxine picture, as it'd be a very interesting piece, to say the least.

Yes interesting however, i do believe they filmed in a different way. The close up was the actress but for long shots I do believe they had her stand on a "stage of sorts". I saw this in the big blue Harry Potter from page to screen book, but it is possible I am mistaken. Non the less... very interesting
