<p>The Harry Potter films have received a special Bafta award for Outstanding Contribution to Cinema.</p>
<p>A tribute film, with contributions from stars including Daniel Radcliffe, Julie Walters, Emma Watson and Robbie Coltrane, was played before the author of the books, J K Rowling, came on stage to accept the award with members of the cast and crew including producer David Heyman.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;It&#8217;s very strange to look back after seven films and remember how wary I was of anyone putting Harry on the big screen and it was David, Heyman not Warner, who persuaded me.</p>
<p>Another recipient of a special gong was Sir Christopher Lee, who received a standing ovation as he accepted the Bafta Fellowship from filmmaker Tim Burton, who described the 88-year-old as an &#8220;electrifying screen presence&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lee, famous for his roles in dozens of horror films and the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, thanked his &#8220;fellow thespians&#8221; and the Bafta committee.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;This is a truly great honour, a great, great honour. Two things really make it so, the fact that this was voted to me by my peers and secondly that I received it from one of the great directors of our age.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tom Hardy, who starred in Inception and Bronson, was awarded the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star prize, which is the only gong voted for by film fans.</p>
