Video: Behind-the-scenes at Wizarding World of Harry Potter grand opening ceremony
 

While we posted SnitchSeeker's exclusive video from the grand opening of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter nearly a week ago on the morning of June 18th, a fan with a great backstage spot managed to get a behind-the-scenes look at the actors' introductions before the media, cameras, and NBC Today Show contest winners. That can be seen below (do note that the video is mostly the actors - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, Michael Gambon, and Warwick Davis - and their handlers waiting for their cue to go on stage, but nonetheless interesting all the same).
