Thousands of Harry Potter fans braved rain and hail July 7 to cheer the cast of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at its London premiere.
Stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and other cast members, along with the boy wizard's creator, J.K. Rowling, walked up a soggy red carpet before the screening in Leicester Square.
The sixth Potter film, "Half-Blood Prince" sees Harry and his friends at Hogwarts school battling evil Lord Voldemort — and their raging teenage hormones.
Fans cheered the film's stars despite the weather, some holding placards reading "Harry, I'll be Your Chosen One" and "Britain Loves J.K. Rowling."
"I can't believe the dedication of the fans," said Tom Felton, who play's Harry's rival, Draco Malfoy, in the film.
Paul Taylor, 45, a nursing-home worker from Sheffield in northern England, came dressed in a tailor-made wizard's cloak and hat.
