Lizo Mzimba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lizo Mzimba is a British journalist and television personality, best known as the assistant presenter of BBC children's news programme Newsround. He is well known for his love of Star Wars and Harry Potter. He attended Solihull School and The University of Birmingham, where he studied Law and Medicine.

Before Harry Potter was at the height of its popularity, Lizo had the chance to interview Potter author JK Rowling on a train from King's Cross Station. He voiced his theories to her, including one that hints that there is more to Harry's (and Lily's) eyes than is told. Rowling replied by smiling mysteriously.

During the 2005 general election coverage, he reported from a polling count in a town hall. It is possible that he will move to BBC News full time at some point in the future.[citation needed]

Lizo has been nominated for the BAFTA Kids' Vote in the 'Presenter' category. [1]
