Well folks, the day is finally here where Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 gets its world premiere right here in London’s Leicester Square. In true world premiere fashion, the weather here today in London is absolutely shocking but we won’t let that dampen our spirits!

This evening, loads of the stars of the movie will be on the (pick a random colour here, I’m going with blue) carpet to celebrate the movie in all it’s glory and even though many of you won’t be able to attend in person, fear not for two reasons:

  1. We’ll be there on your behalf
  2. You can watch the premiere streamed here LIVE!

Heading the cast, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reprise their roles as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The film’s ensemble cast also includes Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Tom Felton, Ralph Fiennes, Michael Gambon, Brendan Gleeson, Richard Griffiths, John Hurt, Jason Isaacs, Bill Nighy, Alan Rickman, Fiona Shaw, Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, David Thewlis, Julie Walters and Bonnie Wright.

I thought I’d put this post up now so that you can get ready for the premiere. Coverage is going to start at 17:00 GMT (that’s 5PM) and we very much hope you’ll join us.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” is directed by David Yates, who also helmed the blockbusters “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” David Heyman, the producer of all of the Harry Potter films, again produced the film, together with David Barron, and J.K. Rowling. Screenwriter Steve Kloves adapted the screenplay, based on the book by Rowling. Lionel Wigram is the executive producer.
