Last night fans who were at the Rising Star Karaoke at Universal CityWalk got a great treat! Potter stars sung karaoke! You can watch videos below of Rupert Grint and James Phelps singing!
We have a few more interesting details about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening details. First, as I posted, there will be a live stream of the events. This next tidbit comes from Ice Cream Man:
One event that ICM will be apart of is a press conference that will be during the day on Thursday. Rupert, along with Tom Felton and Michael Gambon will be one of the press conferences that we will attend. There will be several others with various stars including Bonnie Wright and Matthew Lewis. For those wondering, there was nothing on Emma Watson being there for these but we’re not sure of the grand opening event.
Also the Today Show will be live on that day interview Rupert and his harry potter co-stars including Daniel Radcliffe and Michael Gambon!
Universal Orlando has announced that composer John Williams – who scored the first three Harry Potter films – will be at the Grand Opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Wednesday night.
Rupert has done a new interview with BBC where he talks about a myriad of topics.
You’d think that after all those years playing Ron Weasley, Rupert might at least have been able to gather up a couple of souvenirs from the set, but he admits he’s never been that successful. He said: “I took the golden egg that was in the fourth film – a dragon egg. Apparently it was worth a few thousand dollars. I put it in a pillowcase, it was with James Oliver, it was a joint effort. But they tracked it down and got it off us. A wand I think would be nice to keep. They don’t really like things going away from the set.”
A recent list rated him as the fourth richest actor under 30 living in the UK, which he described as “cool”, even though he says he’s never been really extravagant. He added: “I’m never really that aware of money because I’ve never really been that involved with it because my Dad’s always dealt with it.”
So what’s next for Rupert, apart from trying to master the banjo and the accordion? He said: “It’ll be nice to have to a bit of free time as well – a bit of freedom because it has been constant working since I was 10. So it’ll be nice to just stop and chill out a bit.”
They also have a snippet from Daniel Radcliffe:
He said: “It was pretty devastating to be honest. It was really, really sad. Me, Rupert and Emma were all just… and most of the crew, you know, crying quite a lot.”
Thanks to SS we have a new video from Wild Target, Rupert Grint’s new film which also features Bill Nighy! You can watch below, but beware there are some graphic images!
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 😉 )
