The 2012 MTV Movie Awards took place this evening (June 3rd), and in a night dominated by The Hunger Games and The Twilight Saga, Harry Potter managed to win two awards.

In its final ever appearance, Potter picked up Best Cast, and Best Hero (decided on twitter votes).

Well done to everyone and thanks to you dedicated fans for voting! Watch Emma Watson’s lovely acceptance speech for Best Cast below:

I don’t think I will ever accept an award on behalf of so many people. From Ralph Fiennes to Helena Bonham Carter to Hedwig and Dobby and all of them, this is amazing! We had over 200 cast members and I wish they could all be up here with me now. Sadly, they can’t. Obviously, I share this award, in particular, with Dan and Rupert. Wherever you are, I hope you’re watching and I miss you both dearly. Just thank you! I really, really appreciate it. Thank you!

Emma also presented the first full trailer for her new film The Perks of Being a Wallflower before the show began. Here is a recording of that, featuring lots of footage of Emma in her first big role since hanging up Hermione’s robes.

As announced by Emma on her twitter a few days ago, a sneak peek of The Perks of Being a Wallflower is set to air at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday. MTV today released a clip from that, where we get a first look at Emma in this big new role. We also have three newly released stills from the film here in our gallery.

Emma Watson’s ‘Perks of Being a Wallflower’ has R rating overturned, now rated PG-13 in US

Last month the MPAA revealed it had given an ‘R’ classification in the US to Emma Watson’s new film The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

This annoyed fans of the book and the film studio alike because a mature R rating would have restricted the audience that would have been able to watch the movie and in turn would have limited its box office potential.

Distributor Summit appealed the decision and today we are finding out that that appeal has been successful and the rating has now been dropped down to a PG-13, for “mature thematic material, drug and alcohol use, sexual content including references, and a fight – all involving teens.”

The film doesn’t have an exact release date yet but should be out later this year.
