Warner Bros Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter executives Dan Dark, SVP and Managing Director, Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden, and Sarah Roots, vice president of
Warner Bros Studio Tour London took part in a press conference to promote Saturday's opening of the attraction, as well as several junket interviews and round table sessions.
For now, video clips of the press conference - provided by Warner Bros - where they cast reminisced about their time on the sets, their favourite props, and taking an interactive run at some of the attractions; those can be viewed below.
A few press conference highlights noted by SnitchSeeker correspondent Milo can be read below.
• The Davids said: it’s a mixture of nostalgia and pride seeing the tour.
• Rupert: Quite moving, great to see people and their reactions.
• Evanna: Relief that the studio is still there, and intends to come back regularly.
• Warwick: tour is inspirational for artists
• David Heyman: the tour is not just for fans, but for people who both work in the film industry, and general creative types, and is sort of like a ‘how to’ guide for film.
• Dan Dark: On some occasions during the preview tours, they’ve witnessed people actually break down in tears when the doors to the great hall have opened.
• Rupert: sometimes had to remind himself that they aren’t actually filming, when walking through the tour.
• Rupert and Tom also discussed earlier how they flew on the green screen brooms feature that’s in the tour, and Tom wore a Gryffindor robe.
• Dan Dark: more secrets to be revealed
• David Heyman: A lot of films try to be like something, Percy Jackson tried to be like Harry Potter, but what makes a successful film so special, is that it has to have its own identity.
• Rupert owns a flying ford Anglia.
• Evanna hopes she will always be associated with Harry Potter.
