Fun Times Had By The Phelps & Matt Lewis In Florida

Posted by Lilysowl On May - 23 - 2010

Matthew Lewis

We previously reported that James & Oliver Phelps (The Weasley Twins) and Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) had a private tour of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, along with their Harry Potter co-stars Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid). However, it seems that wasn’t the only place they visited during their stay in Florida. Later, the Phelps twins and Lewis went to a karaoke bar at Universal Orlando’s City Walk.

One Harry Potter fan was lucky enough to witness “the show”. She said, first one of the Phelps twins stepped on stage to sing. When he finished, the other twin and Matthew Lewis went on stage to sing together. The songs they sang were “Enter Sandman” and “Twist & Shout”. She posted photos of the performances in her Facebook album. Click here to see them. Thanks for sharing, Lauryn!

Here is what Matthew Lewis twittered about the event:

Mattdavelewis Karaoke without alcohol is touuugh! @james_phelps seemed to enjoy it though… Thank you, Orlando!

According to his other twitters, Lewis visited SeaWorld and Wet ‘n’ Wild and the Kennedy Space Center:

Mattdavelewis Oh and those Boffins putting men into Space over at Kennedy Space Center. Cheers!

Mattdavelewis I’d like to thank everyone at Virgin Atlantic, Universal Studios, Wet ‘n’ Wild and SeaWorld. That was quite a trip we had!

He posted quite a few photos of his Florida visit on his Twitter account. Click here to see my favorite one and the rest of them. And check out what he is wearing in his updated profile pic.

A Golf Match Between A Slytherin And Gryffindors?

Posted by Lilysowl On May - 2 - 2010

On Twitter, there have been tweets hinting at a golf match to be held Monday/Tuesday between ” a certain pair of red-headed twins and their little brother” and a certain blonde nemesis of Harry Potter’s. This seems to imply that James and Oliver Phelps (Fred & George Weasley) will be playing a round of golf with Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy):

TomFelton Have a very important round of golf Mon/tue against a certain pair of red headed twins and their little brother. Your going down weasleys x

James_Phelps All ready for the big golf games 2moro and Tuesday, I hope the other three players have been practicing..

One fan (no, it wasn’t me. lol) already tweeted a shoutout to TomFelton with a “Go Slytherin” and he replied “My thoughts exactly”

So go tweet your support @TomFelton, @James_Phelps, and @OliverPhelps. Unfortunately, Rupert Grint does not have a Twitter account at this time.

Phelps Twins Discuss Their ‘Harry Potter’ Life

Posted by Lilysowl On April - 14 - 2010

The Phelps Twins We previously reported on the appearance of James and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley Twins) at the opening of Harry Potter: The Exhibition at the Ontario Science Centre in Canada. While they were there, the twins spoke with Canada’s The Globe and Mail News. Here are some of the questions and answers from the interview:

What’s it been like being wrapped up in the frenzy around Harry Potter?

Oliver: It’s been something totally different to what we thought it would be when we first started. I don’t think anyone involved assumed that it would get to the size it’s gotten to.

Even with the popularity of the books?

Oliver: Even with the popularity of the books it’s still never quite sunk home to me that there would be people all over the world who know who you are, who would show an interest in what you do. I mean, just to be able to set an exhibition of this size for such a length of time here, and sustain the interest, says a lot about it. . .

Were you readers of the series when you were cast?

Oliver: I’d read the first three when we went for our first audition, I think the fourth book had just come out. But I was kind of in a bubble on the whole thing, I didn’t realize the magnitude of it. I just picked the first book up when I was in the school library once. So we turn up for the audition and we suddenly realized that there was about 6,000 people going for all different parts and we thought, oh, are we doing the right thing here?

Do you spend a lot of time promoting the films?

Oliver: When the last film came out, we were fortunate to travel quite a lot around Europe and Scandinavia with our friends. And it’s great to go to new places because we’ve never been to Toronto, so it’s always a great excuse to check out the nightlife and everything.
