Matthew Lewis surprised all the guests at Pierre Bohanna’s Props Showcase by showing up to the panel with the Sword of Gryffindor. During the panel he talked about the sword as well as some other props and things he used while filming. Watch all the way to the end for a special surprise!
Today we’re sharing some highlights from the second public cast Q&A at A Celebration of Harry Potter. This panel took place on Sunday January 31st. Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, Katie Leung and Evanna Lynch answered questions from fans attending the event. Unfortunately we were running out of video space so we didn’t get the whole thing.
Welcome to our longest video from A Celebration of Harry Potter. We recorded the full 40 minute cast Q&A panel for your viewing enjoyment. This panel took place on Saturday January 30th. Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Matthew Lewis, Katie Leung and Evanna Lynch answered questions from fans attending the event.
Welcome to the first of our post-Celebration of Harry Potter videos! To start off we have the press exclusive chat with Evanna Lynch, Rupert Grint, Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright and Katie Leung from Friday January 29th.
In a few days we will be headed down to Florida for Universal Orlando’s 3rd annual Celebration of Harry Potter. We’ve gone every year and are excited to see what Universal has in store for fans this time around! Vacation packages are sold out, but admission to the event is included with any Park-to-Park admission ticket or Annual Pass. The schedule of events for A Celebration of Harry Potter can be found here. Here is what we are most looking forward to. We only listed 7 because that’s the most magical number, but be sure to share what you’re excited about!
1. Then amazing cast lineup! This year we get to spend some time, with Matt Lewis, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Write, Katie Leung and Evanna Lynch! They will be participating in two Q&A panels and also signing autographs and taking photos with fans who bought Premium Vacation Packages. In the past the cast panels have brought some great conversations and amusing filming stories.
3. Pottermore. I know this is included in the Harry Potter Expo, but Pottermore has teased they will have something very exciting during the weekend! On their website they say:
If you’re coming along to the Celebration in person, be sure to pop down to the Pottermore booth with the free augmented reality app Blippar downloaded to your smartphone or tablet. You never know what you might find…
4. The Scavenger Hunt. This year Universal have set up a fun Harry Potter scavenger hunt that fans can participate in throughout the weekend! There are eight clues for you to find and take photos of/with.
5. Graphic Design for the Harry Potter Films with MinaLima! Our owner Megan is a graphic & web designer by day so seeing how the design team came up with the designs and props for the film is always a highlight! Who knows, we may even get some Fantastic Beasts tidbits! Fingers crossed!
6. Kids Beauxbatons and Durmstrang lessons. We may not be kids, but we can’t wait to see kids learn to dance Like a Beauxbatons student & battle Like a Durmstrang with a Universal Orlando choreographer.
7. Paul Harris’ Duelling Demonstration & Wand Masterclass. It’s always a blast learning how to duel with Paul, especially during the first year when Mark Williams demonstrated a battle sequence!
Universal Orlando has released the schedule for their third annual Celebration of Harry Potter. Events for the Celebration will be taking place at both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. You can download the schedule and read more about the event here.
