Cast and Crew Interviews at Wizarding World Today
All the stars who attended last night’s celebration participated in group press conferences this morning: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley), Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy), Michael Gambon (Albus Dumbledore), Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom), James Phelps (Fred Weasley), Oliver Phelps (George Weasley), and Warwick Davis (Filius Flitwick, Griphook)
Highlights:
- Matt says he believes the park belongs here (and not in the UK) because nothing this style can be found in America. No castles, etc.
- Phelps twins say they raided the joke shop yesterday.
- Warwick says his hotel room looks likes like Ollivanders at the moment.
- Warwick saw Michael Gambon get his wand.. “aw. His little face, it was so sweet.“
- Rupert and Dan on doing the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows fight scene we saw in MTV montage: “it was really good fun“
- Dan says the Potter crew edited together a short film for the cast to celebrate completing the Deathly Hallows filming. Dan and Rupert cried.
- Dan on Michael Gambon filming scenes for Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey safety instructions: “I’d like to point out the irony of Michael doing any safety instructions” Michael: “I don’t abide by them myself“
- Apparently, The Three Broomsticks is one of the most complicated buildings ever constructed at a theme park.
- David Heyman is clearly very proud and stunned. He can’t stop looking around and giggling.
