Rowling in tears at premiere
JK ROWLING wiped away tears as the stars of the Harry Potter films were joined by thousands of fans to bid an emotional farewell to the series.
Emma Watson and Rupert Grint spent hours meeting fans on the red carpet, which stretched from Trafalgar Square to Leicester Square, for the world premiere of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part Two last night.
Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the teenage wizard, told the crowd: "Each and every person, not just here in this square but around the world who have watched these films for the last 10 years, they will always carry the films with them for the rest of their lives."
The night ended with author JK Rowling joining the cast and crew on a stage in the square where they addressed fans.
Rowling also wiped away tears before thanking the actors.
Turning to the fans, she said: "Thank you for queuing up for the books for all those years, for camping out in a wet Trafalgar Square."
She then pleaded with the fans, who were chanting "Thank you" back to her, to stop, saying: "No, no, I'm already crying."
