London, Apr 1 (IANS): Harry Potter star Tom Felton became emotional as he toured a new Warner Bros. studio dedicated to the magical wizard franchise.

The actor visited Leavesden Studios with former Potter co-stars Rupert Grint, Warwick Davis and Evanna Lynch, Thursday to check out the Making of Harry Potter exhibit before its official opening Saturday.

Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the films, admits his trip down memory lane made him rather teary.

"I won't lie, it got pretty emotional yesterday. I walked through the Great Hall for the first time in three or four years. It hit me like a ton of bricks, to be honest with you. It's a house of many treasured memories. It all came back to me rather quickly," contactmusic.com quoted him saying.

"We were asking for years for wands, for broomsticks and they denied us - but with good reason. This is the reason they said no because everything is here. Everyone's wand, everyone's broomstick. It's quite a marvel how much stuff they managed to keep," he added.
