Japan goes potty for Harry at movie premiere

JAPAN rolled out the red carpet yesterday for the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth movie from JK Rowling’s mega-hit fantasy series.

Hundreds of young Japanese fans, many wearing witch costumes and holding magic wands, screamed when Daniel Radcliffe appeared as white smoke spewed on the stage.

“Japanese fans are the best,” Radcliffe, dressed in a white suit, said in simple Japanese.
