Opening of Wizarding World of Harry Potter to be announced on 25 March

As we’ve previously reported, Tom Felton is scheduled to attend the grand opening of Universal Orlando Resorts Wizarding World of Harry Potter grand opening.  While Universal has released a short behind-the-scenes clip today featuring everyone but Tom, the clip ended with the announcement that all will be revealed next week.

Will the day the park opens be the same as the grand opening celebration Tom and co-star Bonnie Wright are scheduled to attend? When we know, you’ll know, until then – watch some Gryffindors. 😉

 

Daniel Radcliffe “forgives” Tom Felton for Tweeting Because of a Mutual Love

All of you know that Tom is an avid tweeter, but Tom’s friend Dan dishes with MTV about how how much he, well, isn’t.

In this Rough Cut interview, Daniel mentions Tom tweeting around the minute 1:12 mark. Dan’s take on the whole idea of social networking amongst his generation is worth the inanity of hilarious giggles the short clip provides, but of all the possibilities Twitter and Facebook have to offer, it seems what Tom tweets about is what gets Dan passionate and forgiving.
