Tom Felton hit San Diego, California on Saturday’s Comic-Con 2010 to deliver some never-before-seen footage of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. From the report, the films really do take on a different tone – this is the war in the Harry Potter universe – and the action is cranked up to crazy intense levels.

There was one awesome shot that has stuck with me of Hermione (Emma Watson) firing her wand at bad wizards chasing the three of them in the woods, and the aggression in her movements made her fear palpable. The acting in these films looks absolutely phenomenal from what we’ve seen, and the extended look at the tent fight scene between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and Ron (Rupert Grint) sent chills down my spine.

Some other peeks: The first images of Rufus Scrimgeour were shown along with Bill and Fleur’s wedding scene and some images of Snape, the Death Eaters and Voldemort urging Harry to give up so he can save everyone.

Hopefully Warner Brothers releases this on the net soon so everyone can get a glimpse. It certainly has everyone talking – bring it on!

Tom Felton is headed to Ape City and The Forbidden Zone. The actor has just signed on the prequel flick Rise of the Apes, the origin story of the great 1968 film Planet of the Apes.

One of the genetically altered, super intelligent apes, Caesar, revolts and leads an uprising, turning the other super simians against the humans. Costarring with the Harry Potter star are James Falco, Freida Pinto and John Lithgow. Filming begins soon and the movie is due July 2011.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is going to have a fantastic grand opening on Friday June 18th. The Universal Orlando theme park is set to feature stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, James & Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore) and composer John Williams at the official start to the amusement park.

The park looks pretty amazing and faithful to the books and movies. (Check out lots of pictures here.)

Anyone going? We’d love to hear from you!

Of all the memorable moments in the Harry Potter film series, the first visit young Harry takes to Ollivander’s Wand Shop is truly magical: from the bell ringing as he enters the dimly lit store to the moment the wand ‘chooses’ Harry, the scene draws the viewer into his new wizarding world. That experience will be had first hand by visitors to the upcoming amusement park at Universal Studio in Orlando, Florida. The ‘Wizarding World of Harry Potter’ will have a unique and interactive attraction with the wand shop as part of the theme park opening this spring.

When the guest enters the wand shop to speak with the wand keeper, he or she will be asked a series of questions to start the matching process.

“The questions that will be asked from the wand keeper to the wizard are very individual, very tailored to each person based on their birth date and other questions which will determine the kind of wood and kind of narrow down the choices of wands,” [VP of Creative Development, Thierry] Coup shared.

From there, the wand keeper will offer the guest a series of wand options until the right match is found. Like in the “Harry Potter” story, a series of “magical mishaps” will occur before the right wand is found.

What more could you want from your immersion in the world of Harry Potter? Butter beer of course! That will be available too at a Hogsmeade tavern. Check out the vid with Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton giving you their impression on the park.
