Posted by marisa4231 Jan 4th 2009

its so easy to get into the top 5 comments these days...the fandom has really died down...


Posted by Willowrose Jan 4th 2009

You wanna know the bummer part? I almost went today!!!!!!!!! Not that I would have seen him, but still. Yeah, poor Tom. Looks like the stress of the HP films are causing him to lose his hair. :/


Posted by hogwarts_rules Jan 4th 2009

i really want to go there!!!


Posted by hogwarts_rules Jan 4th 2009

i really want to go there!!!


Posted by pickletwice Jan 4th 2009

Were they riding it by themselves?


Posted by adriennecray Jan 4th 2009

2010, woot!!! It can be my graduation present!!! How lame... lol xD


Posted by ILoveAlanRickman Jan 4th 2009

First of all, its really nice to see that the Potter actors are anticipating the opening of the Wizarding World Park as well! Tom Felton and his girlfriend Jade look like they're having a great time. But secondly, and more importantly, marisa4231, it really upsets me and concerns me when fellow Harry Potter fans say the fandom is dying down. Now that there isn't much new material being introduced by Ms. Rowling, there is just not as much to discusss. This doesn't mean there are less fans. The fans have always been there, and other things come along in there life, and they couldn't possibly devote allll their time and efforts on Potter like they once might have done. Personally, I absolutely love Harry Potter, and will continue to for an extremely long time. I will do whatever it takes to keep myself involved in the fandom. If you think the fandom is dying down, then maybe you're the one who is becoming less of a fan...


Posted by Colibri Jan 4th 2009

Looks like they had fun. I'm definitively keeping in touch with my friends from Orlando to visit the park.


Posted by chommy Jan 4th 2009

Dear god. Let us hope he doean't look that ugly and old in HBP. D:


Posted by a3e1o1 Jan 4th 2009

It's not the fact that he's ugly, but he look SO skinny!!! And really young too, isn't he in his 20s? I can't remember.


Posted by Ravenclaw33 Jan 4th 2009

he doesn't look that bad, just really skinny and a lot younger than dan and rup and emma


Posted by CrAzY_4_HP Jan 4th 2009

Omg, he's girfriends really pretty but he looks terrible in these photos? What happened i use to loove him so much! :'( Until i heard of Freddie Stroma! :p:p:p


Posted by SproutMdme Jan 4th 2009

Tom looks as adorable as ever. Be realistic. The harsh light of reality is far different than the studio makeup, lighting and airbrushing many are used to from media. Holds true for every media 'star' everywhere. I think it's neat that he isn't so vain that he limits his exposure to only 'prepared display', if you know what I mean. He seems like a very honest, down-to-earth kind of guy. I love the picture of him standing next to the Proclamation sign!!


Posted by Colibri Jan 4th 2009

Well, without all the Hollywood glamour make-up/hair and lighning most actors look like everyday people. On top of it, europeans tend to be leaner than americans. Dan Radcliffe himself looks quite "different" on some of his shots. Both of them are in the US right now and I'm wondering if they met/will meet.


Posted by Colibri Jan 4th 2009

SproutMdme you said it even better than me :-)


Posted by sara_rr Jan 4th 2009

he looks very different. his girlfriend's pretty!


Posted by HPBESTEVER_clau_pink Jan 4th 2009

HE looks sooo much better in the movies. he is really soo frickin ugly!!! :0 omg. and his girlfriend is pretty. hahahha i'm really exited for the park! can't wait!! :)


Posted by flibbertigibbit Jan 4th 2009

oh wow that's so close to me. i didnt even know he was in florida.


Posted by jhh7487 Jan 4th 2009

His girlfriend is cute! What is she doing with him? Are they the only ones on the ride? I've been telling you all for years that he's ugly as sin.


Posted by liquid_silver Jan 4th 2009

CRAP!!! I went to Universal Studios just last Thursday! If only I'd waited three days!!! By the way, I saw the beginnings of the WWoHP. It was freaking AMAZING.


Posted by twitchy_little_ferret Jan 4th 2009

tom looks bad in the pic of them on dueling dragons. (love that ride) girlfriend is pretty thou...


Posted by lgmxo Jan 4th 2009

hahaha he looks funnnayyyy


Posted by marauders4 Jan 4th 2009

Aww, poor Tom. Not only has he become a total string bean since we last saw him, but he's grown out of his good looks...darn that bleach! It's given him a receding hairline!


Posted by ckgPotterfan Jan 4th 2009

The pictures of the Harry Potter Theme park construction aren't working for me. Anyone else?


Posted by the_shrieking_snack Jan 4th 2009

haha, that has to definitely be one of the wackiest photos of a HP actor i ever saw. It's *basically* Draco riding a roller-coaster...which is highly amusing. :p


Posted by Weasley_is_our_King442 Jan 4th 2009

Why is everyone bashing Tom? I guess some people have nothing else to do. I can't wait for the park to open, its gonna be great.


Posted by Ishi Jan 4th 2009

They wisited it TODAY? O_O But ... is it summer there? I mean, it's winter here in Europe, I thought it was in the usa too :o


Posted by wumples Jan 4th 2009

It is winter in the USA. But because the USA is such a large country and because of its location it has a huge climate difference between the north and south. Florida is in the south (in a tropical climate)so naturally the theme parks can operate all year.


Posted by HarryPotterFreakers Jan 4th 2009

Ishi 17, it's winter here, but in Florida it's sunny and 60-70s in the winter too. I was there like 2 days ago and got pictures in those exact spots! How sweet!


Posted by xxwaddellxx Jan 4th 2009

o my god, he is so UGLY ! what happened to him and when did his head get so big lolololololololololololol


Posted by krazykobra29 Jan 4th 2009

cant wait for the park!!! ahh jesus ppl lay off tom hes awesome


Posted by BellatrixCrucioYou Jan 4th 2009

He looks better as Draco.......cant wait for the park!!


Posted by slytheringirl78 Jan 4th 2009

Bless his heart... poor Tom and his receding hairline, but hey! It should make for a very believable epilogue in the final movie, eh? I find it simply AMAZING that they can make him look so incredibly hot as Draco Malfoy in the Potter movies. And believe me, he is ultra yummy in the upcoming HBP film. Looks like he and the GF had fun in Orlando! :)


Posted by rosem Jan 4th 2009

I for one am shocked to see how bad Tom looks but I guess in movies, they put loads of makeup on them. You can be a frog and they will present you as a prince. But hey, i feel bad for the guy but not too bad since he is in Orlando.


Posted by FutureJessica Jan 5th 2009

Are you kidding? His girlfriend is orange and odd looking. But yes, he does look too skinny. Have you met his legs? Anyway, I was at Universal Studios a couple months ago for Halloween Horror Nights and I saw the construction. I even stood in silence just thinking about how awesome it's going to be. Im so stoked. I can barely put it into words. This is the first time I'm actually glad I live in Tallahassee and its only because it takes me about 4 hours to get to Orlando. So I can be one of the first at the opening. Does anyone think any of the stars are going to be at the opening? (I'm mostly anticipating Rupert, but yeah.)


Posted by Quidditch_Queen Jan 5th 2009

Oh wow, he's starting to bald! And somebody tell his girlfriend gladiators went out of style as fast as they came in style.


Posted by HungarianWitch Jan 5th 2009

Hmmm, is it just me...or is he really THAT unatractive? :| And his girllfriend seems a bit older than he is... :|


Posted by kalb Jan 5th 2009

Somebody feed that boy some biscuits and gravy, he's in the south and he's too skinny.


Posted by chelle4387 Jan 5th 2009

I was there that day, in line for Dueling Dragons at the very front when they rode the coaster. The let them ride alone, with the entire car empty. No one realized who he was and the staff there just called him a VIP. Everyone booed him because we were all waiting in line to ride. I wish I would have realized who he was.


Posted by kjpotter Jan 5th 2009

awww guys be nice. almost every comment is saying he looks bad. I think its really cool hes here in america and is with everybody else, excited for the theme park. his girl friend is pretty. cant wait for the theme park though. its going to be amazingg!!


Posted by cgbexec Jan 5th 2009

We have year round passes for the park and we have been watching the construction closely for the last couple of years. We were just there on Christmas Eve and the construction has progressed very well. As for all the Tom comments, they are very childish. What were you expecting? Dress Robes and his hair slicked back? Give the guy a break. He is just having some well earned fun. We are looking forward to The Harry Potter attraction opening.


Posted by FLHPFan Jan 5th 2009

OMG! I was there! I saw them! My cousins and I were about ready to get on in the front row of ICE when Universal employees led the two of them to the front and kicked everyone else off. I admit that many were kind of ticked about it, and my cousin was the one who started the booing lol, but hey Universal has the right I guess to do whatever they want. Anyway, I was so excited when I went on mugglenet today and found out it was him! I was amazed that I didn't even recognize him.


Posted by tonks654 Jan 5th 2009

aww they look so cute together!


Posted by yoroshiku Jan 5th 2009

Oh God! Whatever happened to him? I know that all of you guys are talking about him being without make-up and all that, but I really remember that some time ago, even when he was not wearing the "Hollywood make-up", he still looked very fair. Some pictures of him fishing and all that, he had some acne and all that, but nothing like this picture. No, I don't mean that he has acne in this picture, but he just does not look that good in it. I wonder what happened to him in order for him to get like that.... Let's see how Draco Malfoy will look like, even with all the make-up.


Posted by Jane_Eyre Jan 5th 2009

why would anyone want to ride a roller coaster alone? Especially with people lined up forever waiting to get on. He is no VIP in the USA, maybe the U.K. Actually, I would not have known who he was if I did see him he is altered so much. Is he still hosting little parties and charging for his autograph?


Posted by JTM Jan 5th 2009

I was actually there when he got in front of us twice!!!!! The first time my brother started booing and then other took it up because everyone had to get off the ride. Then my brother and our cousin got to go ahead of me and a friend because they needed two people to fill the row and we were next in line when he got in front of us again!!!!!!!!!! My friend then threatened him that he would have to pay our locker fee because they only last one hour before you have to pay and the first thing I will say to him if I meet him again is that he owes us two bucks for the fee {yes it


Posted by alexxx Jan 5th 2009

he looks exactly like my friend jacob. large forehead, pretty eyes. :P his girlfriend should lay off on the spray tanning though. obviously it's not real. they live in london-or around there- right? isn't it cold and rainy there mostly? and even if she was in florida for a while, wouldn't tom be tan as well? whatever, she's pretty-ish.
