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, starting as a medical student before changing courses and studying Law.[1] He also served as editor of the University's student newspaper Redbrick.[2]

Before Harry Potter reached 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.

Lizo was nominated by BAFTA for the best children's tv presenter category, but the award eventually went to Holly Willoughby.[3]
