James and Oliver Phelps were guests on CBBC's TMI Friday, where they participated in a panel game with some young contestants, and spoke about their work in the Harry Potter films. A new tidbit revealed from this interview with the twins was that James, who plays Fred Weasley in the Harry Potter series, never read the series past Goblet of Fire, and listened to the final three installments via audiobook, recorded by Stephen Fry. Oliver, however, made it very clear that he read the completed series. That can be viewed below.

James and Oliver also attended this evening's Film Nation: Shorts 2010 National awards, affiliated with the London 2012 summer Olympic and Paralympic games. The official site gives a synopsis of the awards:

Quote:

Since the Cultural Olympiad short film competition launched in June 2010 the Film Nation:Shorts website has seen 14-25 year olds across the UK uploading short films that celebrate the Olympic and Paralympic values. .. From animated films to dramas, documentaries and experimental shorts, young filmmakers across the UK have taken the opportunity to enter a competition that could see their work screened at the heart of the Games in 2012.
