UK fans flock to Potter premier
Spellbound fans have flocked to central London for the European premiere of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third film in a blockbuster series about the schoolboy wizard.
"It's amazing, the dedication of people is terrifying, it's brilliant though and fantastic," 14-year-old Radcliffe told reporters at the Leicester Square premiere. "I never thought I'd see scenes like this when we were doing the first movie... It's beyond comprehension, he added. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," based on the book by British author J.K. Rowling, had its world premiere in New York City last week to rave reviews that described it as deeper and darker than the earlier "Potter" installments. "This film is a lot more sophisticated and I think it will appeal to a wider range of ages," Radcliffe said. Directed by Mexican Alfonso Cuaron, "Prisoner of Azkaban" has won generally favorable reviews from critics in Britain and opens on wide release on June 4. The latest adventure of Harry Potter and his magical friends is the third of a planned seven films based on Rowling's best-selling books. |
