After a fun-filled evening of meeting and greeting his amazing fans, Grint and his personal group of friends sat down at a private area inside Sugar Factory’s indulgent Chocolate Lounge to enjoy appetizers of macaroni and cheese pops, bruschetta, artichoke dip, and various sandwiches and salads.

Also in the store for the event was Las Vegas’ favorite showgirl and reality star, Holly Madison, who was interviewing Grint for an “Extra” entertainment news segment. Madison enjoyed a sugary pick-me-up from a famous Sugar Factory Couture Pop and jokingly referred to the lollipop as her version of a magic wand, in honor of the wizarding meet & greet.
