The Times is reporting that Michael Gambon will also be in attendance at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park opening!
Tomorrow, many of the actors from the Potter films, including Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Harry, and Sir Michael Gambon, who is the headmaster Dumbledore, will fly to Florida for the opening of the new attraction, part of Universal’s existing Islands of Adventure theme park. It will include a steam-belching Hogwarts Express, the village of Hogsmeade and, towering over them all, a reproduction of Hogwarts itself.
Thanks to Ice Cream Man we know that Rupert Grint will be in attendance at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park opening!
There is also another article confirming that Daniel Radcliffe, James Phelps and Oliver Phelps will be in attendance! The article also states that Helena Bonham Carter will not be in attendance.
Tom Felton confirmed via his Twitter Account that he will be going as well:
“It’s good for us because if we ever have withdrawal symptoms we can just walk around the park and be like, ‘yeah we’re back!'” the actor joked.
“I’m a theme park junkie so to be immortalised in a theme park is a dream come true!” he said.
They are still trying to confirm whether, Emma Watson, Matthew Lewis and Bonnie Wright will be in attendance. (I have asked Matthew if he is going but I don’t know if he is allowed to confirm, so stay tuned 😉 )
