HARRY POTTER: School pupil Lizzie Wright is celebrating after spotting herself on the big screen in the hit movie.

The 11-year-old student, from Waters Edge, Pewsham, took her family to the cinema at the weekend, praying her cameo role hadn't ended up on the cutting room floor.

But to her delight, her extra role as a pupil in Professor Snape's potion laboratory, stayed in the film's final cut.

Proud father David said the family went to the Warner Brothers Longwell Green multiplex on Sunday evening to watch his daughter's star turn.

He said: "We were all very excited as we have been waiting for this for some time. Now obviously we want to get hold of the video so we can freeze the frame.

"I felt very excited but couldn't say an awful lot in the cinema because of all the other people around us.

"We are very pleased she didn't get cut out.

"It is something Lizzie will be able to say she has done for a long time to come. Her friends have been ringing up saying they have seen her."

Warner Brothers used Lacock Abbey to film scenes earlier this year.

Security around the set was tight, with stars Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith making an appearance at the Wiltshire set to film scenes.

MORE than 200 Lacock villagers were treated to a special screening of the hit movie Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

Residents packed into the Astoria cinema in Chippenham on Sunday to see the film.

The village is popular with film makers and the cloisters at the Abbey were used for classroom scenes at Hogwarts school.

The special showing was organised by the Friends of Lacock Church who are trying to raise £80,000 for repairs to the roof of St Cyriac's parish church.

Friends chairman, Richard Searight, said: "It was brilliant.

"The tickets for the viewing sold out in three hours and we raised £864 for the church roof fund."

Warners Brothers is planning to use Lacock again for scenes in the second Harry Potter film.
