Harry Potter: Final World Premiere of the Franchise

The World Premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 took place this sunny evening in Trafalgar Square, London, and the event attracted more than hundreds of fans from across the world as well as in the UK, no doubt bringing in the biggest public audience in the UK for any premiere of Harry Potter.
 

Understandably so, as this is the final time the cast and crew will celebrate the release of a new Harry Potter film (that is unless J K Rowling decides to create new adventures for Harry). Emma Watson and J K Rowling herself found the whole experience attending the premiere particularly emotional and overwhelming shedding some tears before they entered the cinema.


Were you able to attend the world premiere? Are you sad at the departure of the Harry Potter film franchise?  I must admit I feel slightly sad as while I stood in Trafalgar Square surrounded by fans of the films I realised that a movie and book franchise of this intense popularity may never be created again, especially in the UK. To think that the seed of all this madness came from the imaginative mind of a woman from Gloucestershire is crazy. 

I'm sure even J K Rowling can't believe she's behind this. We must not collapse in depression just yet though as the film is not released until next week - then we can ponder how we will cope without tales of the wondrous wizard.
