1. How old were you when you had your first kiss?
12. We were playing a game of truth and dare and I had to kiss a girl. Everyone asked me if I knew how to. ‘Of course, I am a professional,’ I answered. Meanwhile, I was dying with nerves because I had never kissed a girl before. The kiss was ok but nothing special.

2. Who is your celebrity crush?
Megan Fox. She always looks incredibly sexy!!! I am glad my girlfriend isn’t here to hear this!!

3. What kind of girl do you like?
I like girlie girls! I don’t like girls who look like boys or girls wearing skinny jeans with a checked shirt where you have to look twice wether it is a boy or a girl! Just give me a girl in a nice dress!!

4. What tv show do you like to watch?
“Gossip Girl” My girlfriend is a real fan and now she turned me into an addict. I used to watch it only with her, but I watch now even when she is not there.

5. What is you worst habit?
I never answer text messages. It takes up to 3 days before I give an answer.

6. Who is the love of your life?
My dog Timber, a Chesapeake Bay Retriever.

UPDATE Wizarding World of Harry Potter News & Interview Featuring Tom Felton

UPDATE From Lilyginny27: Thee webcast can now be viewed in its entirety by clicking here. Tom can be seen starting around the 4:00 mark. As soon as the video is available for embedding, we will let you know. You can see a few more screencaps of Tom in the video by clicking here.

As Feltbeats.com has previously reported, Tom was an invited guest today at Universal Studio’s unveiling of the new attractions and release date for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Theme Park. Feltbeats.com Admin BSerLori was invited to attend the event, and has already given us the written synopsis of what was learned.

While the full webcast is not online yet, this video was taped on the Gryffindor set we have pics of Tom sitting on. In it is an introduction to the park by President of Universal Creative Mark Woodbury, Show Producer Paul Daurio, and Art Director from the films Alan Gilmore. Watch as they describe the park with a brief cgi “fly-through” of what it will eventually be.

Tom has been very excited about taking part in the unveiling of this new Harry Potter attraction, and his remarks are just the first of what will undoubtedly be many praising the parks features. Tom was even interviewed by the New York Times concerning the park.

Wizarding World is already receiving rave reviews from at least one contingency: the actors from the films. Tom Felton, who plays Harry’s towheaded nemesis Draco Malfoy, has visited the property twice, once when construction was just getting started and again in recent days.

“We always say on set, ‘If this place was real, it would be absolutely fantastic,’” he said in a telephone interview. “To actually walk into this world and be able to touch it and taste it and smell it – well, it’s just going to be fantastic.”

One potential aspect that will make the park more exciting for the fans is the possibility of the actors being seen in some way. According to one source, News4JAX:

There could even be new footage of Potter stars shot on actual sets from “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” A Universal spokesman declined comment on the issue, but the company was explicitly granted those privileges in its 2007 licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Consumer Products Inc., according to the contract filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Whether any of this potential footage will feature Tom as Draco Malfoy is still anyone’s guess. Once the webcast featuring Tom expound on the glories of the new park is made available online, we’ll let you know.

The set was a replica of the Gryffindor Common Room. It was hosted by President of Universal Creative Mark Woodbury. Also in attendance were Show Producer Paul Daurio, and Art Director from the films Alan Gilmore who works directly with Stuart Craig, Academy Award winning Production Designer on the HP movies.

A brief video was shown introducing the park and how it will fit in with other attractions at Universal Orlando. They then began describing the different areas in the Wizarding World. Visitors will enter through the gate into Hogsmeade station where there will be a replica of The Hogwarts Express. They will then pass into Hogsmeade where you can visit Zonko’s Joke Shop, Honeydukes, and The Owlery where you can send owl post with the official Hogsmeade stamp. Down the road you can visit Ollivander’s where your wand will choose you! If you are interested in picking up some magical keepsakes, you can go to Dervish and Banges for your remembralls and spectraspecs!

Next come the rides! There will be the Dragon Challenge which takes you through the triwizard challenge. This is formerly known as the Duelling Dragons! Next is the Flight Of The Hippogriff where you will be emmersed in a Care Of Magical Creatures class taught by Hagrid. This is a family coaster. The main attraction is the Hogwarts Castle which will include the ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. This ride will be including technology never before seen in a theme park!

There will be an entire line of merchandise only available at Universal Orlando!

Tom was introduced as the special guest, and he said he normally wouldn’t be welcome in the Gryffindor Common Room! One of the things he is most excited about is being able to go into the Three Broomsticks and trying Butterbeer, and the food that they normally don’t get to experience on set. He is over the moon to be taking part in the making of this park! The rest of the cast is envious that he is able to visit the park. The makers of the park think Tom’s enthusium is absolutely contagious. Tom did say that he may have to go into Ollivander’s and get a new wand after the events of the books.

The park has been in the works for about 5 years now, with over 1000 people taking part in the conception and building of such a monumental area. It has been a collaborative effort between Universal, J.K. Rowling, and Warner Bros. to make this a reality.

We will have more information in the coming hours so stay tuned!
