Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Premiere in NYC

Hundreds of  fans waited along the red carpet at the Ziegfeld Theater in NYC on July 9th for the stars of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Price to arrive at the movie’s premiere.  Here are pictures from a few of those fans and their firsthand reports!

Kim took pictures of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Rupert Grint (Ron Wesley) and Tom Felton (Drako Malfoy). She was also lucky enough to get autographs from Daniel, Rupert, and Emma! (After waiting for about 7 hours!)

Chelsea arrived to the premiere around 5:30 after woork and said, “It was a mob scene, and people apparently camped out the night before just to get a spot at the front of the barricades! Thankfully I am a pretty small person so I was able to sneak my way up to the very front and had a perfect view of all the Harry Potter cast! Emma Watson walked by the barricades and signed autographs and took pictures, she was so sweet! And even more stunning in person! I also saw Alan Rickman (Snape) , Tom Melton (Malfoy) whose date was Mary Kate Olsen, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry), and Rupert Grint, along with a list of other random celebs attending the event. Thanks again for posting about the premiere! Now my summer is complete!”

  1. wow these are awesome pictures! I also went! so thanks for posting this was happening 🙂
    my pictures aren’t as upclose as these but they do for me. was quite an experience haha so many people

  2. I got there an hour and a half early. Big mistake. I did some digging through the huge crowds of rabid pre-teen girls who were mad short and kept yelling “why can’t I see anything???????? I wish i was tall!!!!!”. I mean, this premiere was huge, even bigger than The Dark Knight. I ended up in like the 5th row somewhere in the middle of the entire block next some girl’s mother who kept cursing and using the “f” word at me because I was doing what everyone does and her daughter couldn’t get good pictures. Daniel, Rupert, and Emma all signed, all of them near me, but none of them signed for me because since I was so far back, they’d have to reach up.. Tom Felton went all the way down the block, which made it look like he was gonna sign for everyone, but he only did a few. Everyone else didn’t do any.

    So, I decided to wait outside the exit with some other guys for 3 hours until the movie ends. So it does, there’s only a few collectors left. Everyone leaves, no one signs except Rupert who starts off where I am, but goes towards the other side and then leaves. No one even saw Emma Watson leave after everyone left.

    Then I went home.

    Overall a big letdown with the transportation costs and all. The worst experience I’ve had at a premiere.
