Actor Tom Felton paid a visit to the future home of "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" theme park attraction during a trip to Universal Orlando, Florida. Thanks to Universal for letting us know about new photos of the Draco Malfoy actor at the park, including this one of Tom checking out the Ministry of Magic signs, heralding the construction of the park (smaller photo available here).
Not certain if Draco would take this on (given his bad interaction with Buckbeak) but a second photo shows Tom Felton and girlfriend Jade enjoying the Dueling Dragons ride.
On a related note, be sure to check out these fantastic newaerial photos of the ongoing work courtesy the Themepark guy, thanks so much Stefan! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is currently under construction in Florida as part of the Universal Theme park complex, and will be opened to the public sometime in 2010.
Wow! Tom looks very different in the second photo! Im looking forward to it opening soon! Anyone know if there are going to be cast members at the opening?!

I’d always thought that the series would end with the part of Voldermort that was in Harry getting destroyed and harry never being able to do magic again but still being happy…
Oh, Tom and Jade in my state and only 100 miles away. They are so cute always holding hands. Oh love in your early years-that’s when it was fun. :)
I wonder when this was. Was it just this weekend?
The poor boy is really losing his hair and it probably from all that hair die to make his hair so blonde. He should part his hair like in HBP or POA the hair people really hide his hairline pretty well for the movies.
Wizarding World of HP….strange name when Harry himself proved he isn’t a wizard at the end of Hallows."
Of course he is a wizzard, HOW can you be an auror and not be a wizzard?
I have to smile at the comment about how cute Tom was in POA and how…well…..different he looks now. A line from Ballet Shoes comes to mind, when Gum says "I brough entrancements home, I brought babies…." To which Garney replies, "Babies grow up, GUM." :)
Wow-We were there new years day!! i have the same pix of me in front of the signs, and the hp shields and the coming soon signs… Couldn’t see much else though. My hubby stuck his phone thru a hole in the wall and took a great picture of a mound of dirt! We joked that it was the castle with muggle repelling charms;-)
Over all though we found Universal and IoA a bit disappointing. maybe because it was too cold to do the water rides and very crowded. Too bad we missed Tom- probably wouldn’t have recognized him anyway!!!
"Oy!" bellowed Ron, finally losing patience and sticking his head out of the window, "I am a prefect and if one more snowball hits this window -- OUCH!"[br]He withdrew his head sharply, his face covered in snow.[br]"It's Fred and George," he said bitterly
Wow! Tom looks very different in the second photo! Im looking forward to it opening soon! Anyone know if there are going to be cast members at the opening?!
