Etiquette Lady cast for Wizarding World of Harry Potter + new construction photos
 

Actress Claire Carroll has been cast in a project, rumoured to be a welcome movie, for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, according to her online biography. Unfortunately no other details are known at this time. The park is currently under construction at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and will open next year.

UPDATE: New construction photos from the site, showing images of what might be Hogsmeade and the Hogwarts turrets being built, can be seen here, thanks to the WWHP fansite:

cool!

That's cool!

That is interesting....i wonder what an opening scene would include.

so, why not get one of the established cast to do it? Like Dame Maggie,or Julie Walters, even Fiona Shaw, Someone from theHarry 'family'

Because It may be difficult to get them on a contract, or because they want to see the interpretations of other actors and actress'. We don't even know who she's going to be, she may not be a character portrayed by one of the 'established cast.' If its rumored to be for a welcome film, then I'm guessing she's going to be playing a ministry witch or something of the similar.

It sounds great, I can't wait (ooh that ryhms!) for the park, I'm saving up already! :D :woot:

Cool! :)

Cool!

great

The SAG (Screen Actor's Guild) rules for payment probably made contracting an actor that is already an established Potter character, if there even was one that made sense, cost-prohibitive for the park. I'd wager that this welcome film is along the lines of a unnamed Ministry character whose job it is to welcome guests to Hogwarts and inform them as to the 'rules of etiquette' while in the show building (or in other words, ride safety rules-- please keep your hands and arms inside the charmed vehicle, remain seated, no apparating or disapparating out of the vehicle, etc ;). It should be fun to see what they come up with, whatever the context of this character and her new role.

OMG I HOPE HOPE HOPE they say something like this!!! I am laughing so hard!!! No Apparating... LOL I agree that she is probably some "new" character... Very Cool!! I think the WWofHP is gonna ROCK!!! YAY!!

*is getting ridiculously excited about this* :P

I'm Very Curious To see What They Have Planned!
