Julie Walters arrives in Dublin | |
| Julie Walters, who plays Mrs. Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, arrived in Dublin today for the first screening of her new movie Driving Lessons, in which she stars alongside Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley). GCN.ie writes: Walters' performance in the movie, easily her best since "Billy Elliot" in 2000, is a tour-de-force and provides a deep emotional heart to a film that will make you laugh, cry, and then laugh some more. If you're interested in meeting Ms. Walters while she's in Dublin or seeing Driving Lessons, visit DublinIFF.com or call the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival box office at 01 672 8861. |
