Potter premiere is pure magic

THE magic of Harry Potter cast a spell on London last night as the stars turned out for the European premiere of the third movie.

Hundreds of fans thronged Leicester Square in central London for the latest in the series telling the tale of the young Hogwarts wizard, played by Daniel Radcliffe, with many dressing up as their favourite character.

American student Amy Sanmann, 20, from Oklahoma said she was especially pleased to be at the premiere in London.
