'Harry Potter' James And Oliver Phelps Meet & Greet At Sugar Factory
“Harry Potter” stars, Oliver and James Phelps, spent a magical afternoon at Sugar Factory inside Paris Las Vegas for a once-in-a-lifetime meet and greet for their diehard fans yesterday afternoon.
The British twins walked Sugar Factory’s red carpet, set up outside on the sidewalk of the world famous Las Vegas Boulevard, in front of hundreds of eager and excited “Potterheads.” James and Oliver waved to their fans and cracked jokes to one another on the carpet while they posed for photographs with the sweet shop’s famous Couture Pops.
The actors were especially pumped to go inside the store to bag a few sweet essentials, signature to Sugar Factory. “The store is incredible!” James said, then mentioned that chocolate-covered almonds were his favorite and Oliver couldn’t resist sour blue raspberry belts.
The air was electric with excitement as the stars stepped inside the flagship store to begin their official autograph signing for the loads of fans, who had been waiting since 4 a.m. to catch a glimpse of the guys.
One-by-one, James and Oliver made time to meet everyone, saying hello, accepting sweet fan-made gifts and handing out hugs like candy. Fans of the wizarding epic saga are known for their rambunctious cheers for any and all things “Harry Potter” and it was just the same at Sugar Factory, as dozens of fans screamed and shrieked at the near sight of the brothers.
But, the duo couldn’t have been more grateful to everyone who came out to show support and love. Photo credit: Denise Truscello/WireImage
