Tuesday night saw London’s Leicester Square transformed into the Ministry of Magic, with smoking fires and silver-faced Death Eaters taunting the crowds.
It was the premiere of the latest film from the JK Rowling Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the nearby streets were jammed with fans that were desperately hoping to get a peak at the stars. Despite the fantastic sets and costumes that adorned the entire area, the weather certainly couldn't be described as "magic"! During the lead up to the premiere and also during the arrival of many of the film’s stars (and other celebrity guests) the sky opened to drench the crowds… although may had obviously listened to the weather reports and brought umbrellas and wet weather gear just in case!
