MoviesOnline caught up today with the stars of the Harry Potter franchise -- Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson – who joined the many Hollywood stars who have left their handprints and footprints and in this case, wandprints, in wet cement in the forecourt of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. Grauman’s is the one undisputed shrine in Hollywood at which every Tinseltown pilgrim pays homage. The renowned forecourt represents a virtual "Who’s Who” of Hollywood superstars including Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, Jack Nicholson and Clint Eastwood just to name a few, and the space in the theatre’s small forecourt is so scarce that the honor is reserved solely for true Hollywood superstars.
The trio were introduced to hundreds of fans who attended the event by Harry Potter producer David Heyman. DAVID HEYMAN: "This is amazing. When I first read this first book which wasn’t called "The Sorcerer’s Stone” it was called "Harry Potter and Philosopher’s Stone” in England, I most certainly had no idea that we’d be standing here having made five films and Dan, Rupert and Emma would be honored in this amazing way by putting their hands, feet and, yes, their wands in this place.
This tradition goes back to 1929 I believe, and it’s an amazing, amazing thing, so we’re all really excited.” Heyman proceeded to introduce the people connected with film including director David Yates who got a big cheer. "I just want to bring out the three actors who are going to join here people like John Wayne, Sophia Loren, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, it’s amazing.
Anyway, let me bring out Harry, Ron and Hermione – Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson.” Radcliffe, Grint and Watson seemed genuinely overwhelmed when they come out.
