Harry Potter star Rupert Grint who plays Ron Wealey as well as Warwick Davis and Hedwig, Harry Potter’s owl were all with Lord Scott yesterday to discuss how the studios where the films were made will be turned into a theme park!
The Leavesden Studios is set to be turned into a tourist attraction with fans able to tour the sets where the films were shot.
Rupert said: “We used to write on the walls and they’re actually recreating [them] and turning the studio into an attraction, actually recreating all the rooms so you can go in them.”
Obviously it won’t be a patch on the Orlando theme park but we’re still excited to have a slice of Potter history in the UK!
The visitor attraction north of London will include costumes and recreations of some of the boy wizard’s haunts, such as the Hogwarts school hall and Albus Dumbledore’s study.
The planned set tours — part of an expansion of Leavesden, the Warner Bros studio in Hertfordshire — are Britain’s answer to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, a 20-acre attraction at the Universal resort in Orlando, Florida, due to open on Friday, the Sunday Times reports.
Mayor Boris Johnson last month wrote that the UK was “utterly mad to leave it to the Americans to make money from a great British invention”. Warner is reportedly to spend more than £100 million on buying and expanding Leavesden, which it currently rents.
Plans to turn Leavesden into permanent studio approved, Harry Potter visitor attraction opening in 2012 It was a few weeks ago when we reported that plans were underway to turn Leavesden Studios – the huge complex where all eight Harry Potter films have been shot – into a full on studio and keep a permanent Harry Potter area for fans who’d like to see the real sets.
Warner Brothers, which has brought world-wide fame to the former aerodrome complex with its Harry Potter franchise, can now begin a programme of redevelopment worth an estimated 100 million pounds – creating hundreds of jobs and providing a boost to the local economy.
The company, which will now purchase the site outright and use it as its European filming base, will build new film stages, production and administration facilities.
It will also open a Harry Potter themed visitor attraction to cater for up to 5,000 visitors a day.
The article also says the Harry Potter visitor attraction will open in 2012.
To be honest I was more excited about chatting to Warwick Davis, best known for his roles in Willow, Star Wars, The Leprechaun, Harry Potter then anyone else that said, everyone there turned out to be as wonderful to spend time with then any celebratory or wizard.
