MTV have posted a live stream for tonight’s MTV Movie Awards. You can watch here to see all the stars walking on the red carpet!
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been nominated for Best Movie.
Tom Felton, who portrays Draco Malfoy and who will be at the awards, is nominated for Best Villain. He’s going up against fellow Potter actor Helena Bonham-Carter for her role as the Red Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland.
Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) has received a nomination for Best Female Performance. Dan Radcliffe (Harry Potter) is nominated for Best Male Performance and Best Global Superstar!
Some images of book props from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Half-Blood Prince are now online. They come from Wyvern Bindery and include many of the books that Hermione carries in her magical expandable bag. The books include The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore by Rita Keeter, Secrets of the Darkest Art, Advanced Potion Making, and a History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot. There’s also a photo from inside the Monster Book of Monsters. Check them out in our gallery starting here!
The filming for the Harry Potter films is soon coming to an end…only two weeks left. During the National Movie Awards, Dan Radcliffe and Emma Watson did a few interviews in which they spoke about the filming coming to an end.
They spoke with People where Dan admitted he’ll be devastated when it’s over and Emma went onto say that she feels as if someone is dying.
“I will be devastated [when it's over],” Radcliffe, 20, said Wednesday at the National Movie Awards in London. “There is nothing I watch without it triggering a series of memories. Everything [about the films] is so linked to my life. At the same time, it is exciting. It is the end.”
“I feel like someone is dying,” said Watson, 20, adding that she never expected just how big the franchise would get (even inspiring a theme area at Universal Orlando). “This kind of love and recognition is just incredible. It is also really emotional for me. I am proud.”
We previously reported that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was nominated for a National Movie Award in the Family category. We are happy to now report that the film won the award plus the Special Recognition Award. Although we also mentioned that the three stars (Dan Radcliffe-Harry, Rupert Grint-Ron, and Emma Watson-Hermione) were each nominated for the Performance of the Year category, along with Emma Thompson (Professor Trelawney) for her Nanny McPhee role, it was Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory) for his role as “Edward Cullen” in the Twilight films who won that award.
Here is the video of Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), and Dan Radcliffe accepting the award in the Family category.
Here is the video of Watson, Wright, Radcliffe, director David Yates, and the producers David Heyman and David Barron accepting the Special Recognition Award.
Here is a video of an overview of the Harry Potter films that was shown at the award ceremony with a commentary by David Tennant who portrayed Barty Crouch, Jr. in Goblet of Fire but became very popular as the Tenth Doctor in the Doctor Who series. There’s even a sneak peek at Deathly Hallows!
As noted, Robert Pattinson won for Performance of the Year. Due to his filming schedule for Water for Elephants, he was not able to attend the event. So, his acceptance was broadcast via video from the set.

We previously reported that Tom Felton was nominated for an MTV Movie Award in the Best Villian category for his role as “Draco Malfoy” in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (which has also been nominated for an award). Shortly after the nomination was announced, Tom Felton spoke to MTV.
“It’s a massive honor,” he said. “Especially given that it’s a fan vote. That makes it quite touching. And it’s classic for me, because for almost a decade, kids have been running onto set and hugging Daniel [Radcliffe] and shaking Emma [Watson]’s hand. I try and be as polite as I can, and I never seem to get anywhere with them. Finally, I’m in a category that celebrates that fact!”
As we mentioned in the previous post, Helena Bonham Carter who portrayed Draco’s evil aunt Bellatrix Lestrange was also nominated for Best Villian…but it is for her role as the Red Queen in Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. Here is what Felton was quoted to have said about that:
“Never my competition — she’s my idol,” …”I’ve learned more off her than anyone else.” Sure you don’t want to talk a little smack? “Of course! I’m putting a friendly face on it, but on the night, it’s all game,”…”Each dog for his own.”
Hmmm…that does seem to be the general consensus in the Malfoy family.
Click here to read the complete article to see what Felton said about his other competition in the Best Villian category. He also mentions an interesting story about how he was almost naked for a scene in Goblet of Fire when Draco was turned into a ferret. And don’t forget to go here and vote!

Emma Watson (Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films) and David Tennant (Barty Crouch, Jr.) have both received nominations for the 2010 Constellation Awards. The Constellation Awards are based in Canada and are for those they feel have had excellence in science fiction film and television.
Emma Watson was nominated in the category of Best Female Performance in a 2009 Science Fiction Film, TV Movie, or Mini-Series for her role in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. She’s going up against Aurora Buchanan (Doctor Who: Victimsight), Dakto Fanning (Push), and Zoe Saldana (for both Avatar and Star Trek).
David Tennant was nominated in the category of Best Male Performance in a 2009 Science Fiction Television Episode for his role in Doctor Who, The Water of Mars. He’s up against Gareth David-Lloyd (Torchwood Children of the Earth: Day 4), Jensen Ackles (Supernatural The End), John Noble (Fringe, Grey Matters), Misha Collins (Supernatural, The Rapture), Robin Dunne (Sanctuary Pavor Noturnus), and Ron Livingston (Defying Gravity Kiss).
Canadian citizens and others are eligible to vote. See if you’re eligible here.
Personally, I was surprised that Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) were not nominated for Best Kiss nor wereRadcliffe and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) nominated for Best Fight; so I took it upon myself to add them. And now, I expect some support from fellow Harry Potter fans to click here and vote. The deadline is tomorrow, Friday April 9.
Although it wasn’t for their work in the Harry Potter films, two stars from the series were also nominated for the Best Villian category. They are Gary Oldman (Sirius Black) for his role as “Carnegie” in The Book of Eli and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) for her role as “the Red Queen” in Alice In Wonderland. And of course, Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory) was also nominated for Best Global Superstar and Best Male Performance for his roles as “Edward Cullen” in The Twilight Saga: New Moon and “Tyler” in Remember Me.
We wish all the nominees luck!
Winners will be announced live at the MTV Movie Awards ceremony on Sunday, June 6 on MTV at 9:00pm EST.
