Spellbinding news from Windsor Castle! Wizard and warrior on the big screen, Warwick Davis, was bestowed with an OBE by Prince William in a royal razzle-dazzle this arvo. The 56-year-old 'Harry Potter' and 'Star Wars' icon, snitched the gong for his dramatic flair and huge-hearted charity efforts. Joining him in receiving the royal treatment was football ace Alex Greenwood, who netted an MBE for her kickass contributions to the beautiful game.
While Davis has had us spellbound as Professor Flitwick and even tickled our funny bones alongside Karl Pilkington, he's also a big-time charity champ. With his late wife Samantha, Davis conjured up Little People UK, a charity giving a big-up to individuals with dwarfism. But hold onto your broomsticks – Davis is set to wave his wand once more as his Flitwick gig makes a comeback in the upcoming 'Harry Potter' TV series reboot!
It's not just about capes and wands, though. Greenwood, with a sterling record of 107 caps for England's Lionesses, led the pack to Euro glory twice and now wears the captain's armband for Manchester City, steering the squad to the tops of the Women's Super League charts. Talk about a winning streak!
It's a real fairy tale for these two as they both rocked onto the New Year Honours list for their cracking achievements. What a day to remember for magic and soccer royalty!
