Knightsbridge, London, UK (PRWEB UK) 1 December 2011
The Wand Company (http://thewandcompany.com/), maker of the world?s first real magic wand, surveyed diehard fans at the launch of the final Harry Potter DVD and Blu-Ray at Harrods this morning, to create the first exit poll of the day.
Sam Jarvis, 16, from Sidcup started the queue at 6:02am yesterday morning and was one of many Harry Potter fans interviewed on the books and movies. The survey, taken from fans queuing to get their hands on the Deathly Hallows: Part II Blu-Ray / DVD, found that the majority in the crowd had been queuing since 6am today to catch a glimpse of stars Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick and Griphook), James and Oliver Phelps (Fred and George Weasley) and Jessie Cave (Lavender Brown).
Most fans (71%) were annoyed that the UK was the last country to get the film on Blu-Ray, but many of them (28%) also admitted to it being their favourite movie, closely followed by the Goblet of Fire (25%).
The poll is good news for Emma Watson who was voted the ?most likely to succeed? after the movies with nearly half the votes (49%), with Rupert Grint (29%) beating Daniel Radcliffe (22%).
Rupert was also voted ?most fanciable actor? by the fans with 33% of the vote, even beating renowned heart-throb Robert Pattinson (7%), known for his role as Edward Cullen in the rival Twilight franchise (and also playing Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter).
