Looming over the skies of London...is Severus Snape! Well more like a poster heralding the premiere of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince which will take place today in Leicester Square, London, England. Crews have been hard at work prepping the area for the event and we now have photos from the scene here thanks to TLC staffer Wendy. REMEMBER: You can watch the premiere LIVE TODAY AT 1:00pm (6 pm GMT) VIA THIS LINK. Confirmed to attend are the following:
Harry Potter author J.K. ROWLING; actors: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Jim Broadbent, Robbie Coltrane, Helena Bonham Carter, Helen McCrory, Julie Walters, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Evanna Lynch, Matt Lewis, James and Oliver Phelps, Jessie Cave, David Thewlis, Natalia Tena, (possibly Dame Maggie Smith), Hero Finnes Tiffin, director David Yates, producers David Heyman and David Barron with a few surprise guests. STAY TUNED! If you are going, please send in your reports and photos to staff@the-leaky-cauldron.org Have a great time!

UPDATE: The London paper reports that many fans have been camping out all night in anticipation of the premiere today. "Student Samantha Blum, 22, was among six German students first in line. She said: "We got here at 10am on Monday because we are crazy about the film and want to see the stars. I want to see Helena Bonham Carter and get autographs.

Can’t wait to see the actors at the London premiere live on the internet! It’s 7.00 p.m here in Sweden then.

The premiere is streaming at 1:00 DST here on the US east coast. I was just in the cafeteria here at work, and the TV there has on CNN. Right now it is pretty much wall-to-wall build up to the Michael Jackson memorial, and I remember that will be at — 1:00 DST here on the US east coast. I don’t know if the memorial will be streamed on the net, too. If so, I wonder if having the two at the same time will affect web traffic.

The weather forecast is not very cheerful for today, I think we can expect some rain to dampen proceedings.

Why oh why do they give away Snape’s “true allegiance” in the poster campaign…?
