Feltbeats Exclusive: Hogwarts Express arrives at Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Feltbeats members @bserlori and @stormlite02 are at Universal Studios in Florida and managed to get a glimpse behind the barriers to see what’s happening at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Tom Felton is very involved with the launch of this new theme park, and has been on hand for previous tours and announcements. Additionally, Tom will be attending the grand opening of the park which is scheduled for May 2010. Potter co-stars Bonnie Wright, James Phelps and Oliver Phelps have also confirmed they will attend the opening as well.

More pictures of what they find on their adventure will be up in our gallery shortly, so keep checking back!

An Empirical BRAVO for Tom Felton

Thanks to Estrella89san and her fellow admins at TomFeltonFans_ for a scan of Tom from the latest issue of BRAVO magazine. The German magazine stated how Tom enjoyed his Miami holiday and is still filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in which Part 1 is due out later this year.

In addition to this fabulous scan, we were also treated with some new photos of Tom from March 2009, when he attended the Jameson Empire Awards in London. This year’s award ceremony is still in the voting stages, and whether Tom will be in attendance at this years event is anyone’s guess. We’ll let you know when we know.

You can see the rest of the new photos from this event here in our photo gallery.

Tom Felton Inspires International Music Effort

Feltbeats.com was founded because of Tom Felton’s music. As a result, we have many members inspired to play guitar or pursue other musical interests because of Tom, and we’re darned proud of that.

Last summer, several Feltbeats.com forum members decided to get together and start a musical collaboration, aptly named the “Feltbeats Addicts Band,” also known as FAB.

It started casually enough, but quickly grew. Their first effort, affectionately called “TTS”, short for the Twittering Tom Song, was released in September in honor of Tom Felton’s twenty-second birthday. But that was just the beginning. The group now has several songs completed, with more projects underway.

There are six band leaders: stormlite02 (moderator, auditions), snatalia (editor), irooloo (videographer, composer), amaren88 (artwork), shanajaca (lyrics), and krobertson24 (composer), who merge the tracks to put together the finished product.

Great job, ladies! I’m sure Tom will love to know that he inspired you. We look forward to the day when you might be able to create music together in real-time. For now, it’s wonderful how technology, and the inspiration of Tom Felton, can bring together a group from multiple countries and languages in a spirit of fun and goodwill.

Currently, the band has members in Belgium, Germany, Greece, Scotland, England, US, China and others.
