| | | Harry Potter actors attend Magic Christmas fan convention in France
This past weekend, Harry Potter actors Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Jessie Cave, Natalia Tena, and Alfie Enoch attended the Magic Christmas convention in France, where they greeted fans and discussed their work in the series in panel discussions. SnitchSeeker member Muggleprincess.* (Jessica) attended the event, sent some photos and a synopsis of the weekend. That can be read and seen below. Quote:
I went to the actors and talked to them. They were all just so incredibly nice, I really couldn't believe my luck. Matt is such a cool and nice guy who is fun to talk to. Jessie is unbelievably cute and a little crazy, I think she'd be an amazing friend. Tom, oh Tom. The coolest guy I have ever met in all of my life. I'm was a fan of him before but now I've absolutely fallen for him. I gave a photograph of his dog to him. He loved it so much, he couldn't stop thanking me. He gave me an autograph and then he saw that I was wearing a shirt of his merchandise for his music. He said that it was the very first time he has seen someone wearing it, he was so happy about it that he signed it, too.
For Natalia I have only two words: Cool and crazy. Oh man, she is great. She is just so much fun to hang out with, she's a bit like Jessie but Jessie is a little shier than she is, I think. Natalia doesn't care what out other people think and I just love that!
There were the round-ups then where the fans can ask questions. The people asked in French, the question got translated on English for the actor, the actor answered in English and that got translated back in French. That means that they needed at least 5 minutes for one question, but the questioning wasn't longer than 40 minutes so I think you understand what the problem was.
Then there were the autograph and photo sessions. They were a pure nightmare. Every person who was at the convention was in this little room and tried to get at least one photograph and autograph. Tom's job was the worst. I think nearly everyone who was there wanted an autograph and the poor boy sat there all day long. At the end of the day he looked so enraged that I didn't dare to ask him for an interview (for the fourth time). He stormed out of the room and was gone. I was looking for the other actors, but I couldn't find anyone.
 Quote:
Questions Muggleprincess.* (Jessica) asked during the round-ups: FOR MATT: Me: How was it to fight a CGI-snake? Matt: Who says I fight a CGI snake? *laughs* Mod: CGI? Matt: Computer animated stuff... To come back to the question: It was actually pretty cool. You have to imagine a lot of things. It's basically all going on in your mind. You're in this green room and have to follow tennis balls and stuff like that, but yeah it was pretty cool. FOR JESSIE AND NATALIA (But Jessie answered) Me: Has it always been a dream of you to become an actress or doing something else in this business or did it just happen? Jessie: Oh acting isn't really a job, is it? Me: Well, for me acting is fun. Jessie: Exactly. It was always fun but then it just happened that I got the role of Lavender. I had a lot of luck.
Dozens of photos from the event can be found in our galleries.   |

It sounds fun, although they could have planned it out better for the cast and the multitudes of fans who got irritated. Still, thanks for sharing, Jessica!

Tom enraged? That is hard for me to fathom, but I can understand the fatique and sitting for hours signing your autograph without a break. Him storming out of the room.
Poor guy! He is a gracious guy, but I am sure everyone has their limits.
