Last night I was one of the fan sites invited to cover the Grand Opening of Harry Potter: The Exhibit and the release of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 DVD. We were able to stand on the red carpet and take photos of the actors in attendence. Sadly my photos didn’t come out too great, but there are some pretty great gems. So head over to the gallery to check out all 120+ images! There are also some better quality photos at the end courtesy of zimbio.
The stars in attendance were Evanna Lynch, Natalia Tena, David Thewlis, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Freddie Stroma, Bonnie Wright, Clemence Poesy, Domhnall Gleeson, Warwick Davis, Helen McCrory, Mark Williams, Michael Gambon and Robbie Coltrane! David Barron and David Heyman were also at the event.
 You can pre-order Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on DVD or BluRay, to be released on April 11th in the UK and April 15th in the USA, at the following links:

Today the Apple store in SoHo had a cast Q&A session with members of the Harry Potter cast. David Barron, David Heyman, Michael Gambon, Warwick Davis, Robbie Coltrane, Helen McCrory, David Thewlis, Natalia Tena, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Freddie Stroma and the Phelps twins were in attendance. I was at the event on behalf of the website but no flash photography or recording of the event were permitted so to hear all of the answers you will have to wait for Apple to release the vide, which should be later tonight. I did try to take some photos but they didn’t come out. Here is a small preview though.
The cast were asked what their favorite scene was, whether they filmed it or they just enjoyed it. Their answers are as follows (is is not exact wording, I was feverishly writing so I would remember what they said)
Michael Gambon – his scenes in the Great Hall making speeches
David Heyman – Less actiony scenes such as Harry flying Buckbeak, Harry and Hermione dancing in DH, and when the Gryffindor boys ate the animal candies
David Barron – the “no post on Sundays” scene from SS
Robbie Coltrane – Norbert hatching and subsequently catching his beard on fire
Warwick Davis – the Tale of the Three Brothers animation as well as his stage dive in GoF
Helen McCrory – Harry confronting Voldemort in Part 2
David Thewlis – Aunt Marge being blown up and turning into a werewolf
Natalia Tena – the Tale of the Three Brothers animation and flying on broomsticks
Bonnie Wright – filming in the Chamber of Secrets because it was a turning point for Ginny and the Epilogue
Oliver Phelps – Giving Harry the Mauraders Map and the twins fight in GoF
James Phelps – the joke shop scenes in HBP
Evanna Lynch – the Weasley wedding because it showed that wizards are normal, the people dancing in the background specifically
Freddie Stroma – Quidditch scenes; they just threw balls at him and he had to hit them away which made for some interesting moments; smashing a light, hitting a fan, and hitting a person
I will post the link to the video when it is available for download
