Universal have posted the full Diagon Alley Red Carpet Webcast, which was livestreamed during the event last night. We will have our own video up, but for now take a look at the official video featuring interviews with Matthew Lewis, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Tom Felton, Robbie Coltrane, Helena Bonham Carter, Domhnall Gleeson and Warwick Davis!
We attended last night’s red carpet event for the Diagon Alley Preview and this morning Universal have sent over a few photos. We will have our own to share in time, but things are still a bit hectic with press related activities so we will get them up as soon as possible. We will also have video from the red carpet shortly. View the photos of Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Evanna Lynch, Matthew Lewis, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Bonnie Wright, Warwick Davis, Domnhall Gleeson and Tom Felton in our gallery.
This afternoon, Universal have sent over some brand new, high resolution, photos of Diagon Alley, opening July 8th! The photos, which include the dragon, may be seen in the gallery!
The Today Show has posted a video from this morning’s show featuring Helena Bonham Carter, Tom Felton and Robbie Coltrane. All three actors are in town to promote The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, which as we posted this morning will be opening on July 8th.
The Guardian has posted a new interview with Helena Bonham Carter, who played Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films. She doesn’t discuss Potter in the interview, but Helena is attending this week’s media preview, which we are at. Of acting, she said:
“I always wanted to be a character actor, even when I was stuck inside a corset playing innocent girls,” she explains. “I always thought that they were so passive, which I now see as unfair. They weren’t passive, they were these amazing, dynamic women from the [EM Forster] novels. But I’m afraid that’s how I saw it.”
“It’s hard to be high profile and young,” she shrugs. “I wasn’t very confident; I was cripplingly shy. And, at the age of 19, you are all too aware of how people are perceiving you. I remember reading the first profile of me that was printed in a magazine and thinking: ‘Oh good, now I’m going to find out what I’m really like.'” She cackles at her naivety: “But no. That’s not the best way of judging yourself.”
