Den of Geek have posted a new article where they interviewed Tom Felton, Julie Walters, Warwick Davis, The Phelps’, Bonnie Wright and Natalia Tena at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London at Leavesden Studios. They all talk about the upcoming attraction and their favorite parts.
Can you tell us which props won’t be on display on the tour because they’re on your mantle pieces?
Julie Walters: Nothing.
Oliver Phelps: They’re all there.
James Phelps: Everyone wanted a wand, and we were hoping on the last day they’d see “You take that with you”.
OP: We were dropping hints…
JP: But when all the bigwigs from Warner Bros were over we kind of “It’d be nice to have our wands wouldn’t it?” and they were like, “Yeah, it would be good wouldn’t it” but that was it.
JW: That was the end of it.
It’s an outrage. So, which is the prop or set that impressed you the most? Is it the wands?
JW: The Weasley set of course. I wanted to live in it, it was like a home. It didn’t feel like a set, it was gorgeous, you couldn’t be on there long enough, the detail was enormous.
Bonnie Wright: One thing I wonder if they’ll ever show, was in Stuart Craig’s office above his desk he had this great drawing, just plain paper and felt tip pen, the first time that Jo and he met to sit down and discuss, she just did a really simple, simple map, like Hagrid’s house, Hogwarts, lake, Quidditch Pitch. It was literally just her drawing of where she knew in her mind where it was all going to be. It was above his desk throughout the whole film.
Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, the Phelps twins, Tom Felton, Warwick Davis and other Harry Potter stars were on the Matt Edmondson Show on BBC Radio 1 tonight. It was a miniature comedy show called “The One With a Hogwarts Job Centre” where Matt, the host, suggests jobs for the actors. You can listen to the here with that segment beginning at 23:06 .

Warner Bros have sent over our special embed code for the Warner Bros. Studio Tour London: The Making of Harry Potter fansite exclusive webchat that is taking place TOMORROW, October 13th, at 3pm (BST) on to celebrate tickets for the tour going on-sale. Remember, you can ask questions starting at 2pm on October 13th on Twitter. Make sure to follow @WB_StudioTour and include the #WBStudioTour hashtag in your tweets.. There is obviously no guarantee that all questions will be answered because the chat is only for 30 minutes. There will be a mixture of Fansite and Twitter questions. So you can also post your questions here and I can try to get them answered, but once again there is no guarantee!
Right now you will just see a holding message, but the video will change to the web chat tomorrow when it starts. [The video is a little cut off because of the way our site is laid out, so you can view it using this link if you’d like.]
Finally, there is a preview clip for the chat that you can watch below:
As I posted back in July, Warner Bros will be holding a special event at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter from November 11th-13th. Today they have issued a press release announcing the tentative cast and crew attending the event. The list could change meaning some cast members may not be in attendance and some may be added.
The release of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” will also be marked by a special celebration at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort, where the Harry Potter stories live on. TheHarry Potter Home Entertainment Celebration will consist of a series of special events to be attended by cast and filmmakers from the Harry Potter films. The three-day celebration will take place from Friday, November 11 to Sunday, November 13. Cast and filmmakers expected to be in attendance include James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley), Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick, Griphook), Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley), David Bradley (Argus Filch), Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown) and many more to be named later*.
