The Warner Bros. Studio Tour : The Making of Harry Potter studio tour is opening in March in London and we just learned from hypable.com that Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy, will be the voice of the digital guide you can purchase on the tour!
The Studio Tour’s official website describes the digital guide as this:
Our handheld audio-visual guides bring the Studio Tour to life in a completely new way. It contains fascinating facts about the sets, costumes and props, as well as newly produced interviews with filmmakers and never before seen behind-the-scenes footage. It is available in eight languages and can be pre-booked with your tickets. This is available to hire for just 4.95 pounds.
Currently we are unsure if Felton is the only actor on the Digital Guide or if others will join him.
The Visual Effects Society has announced the nominations for the 10th Annual VES Awards. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 has received five nominations with The Adventures of Tintin and Rise of the Planet of the Apes receiving six and four, respectively.
