"Because each and every person who will see this film will carry this story with them through the rest of their lives." "A huge thank you to all of you, first of all for giving me a job, and Jo for letting him give me a job," he continued, referring to author JK Rowling and the film's producer. "Every opportunity I get from now on all goes down to the fact I got very, very lucky when I was eleven." But Emma told him: "You didn't 'get lucky' - you were and are the perfect Harry and will be forever." It was obviously an emotional moment for JK too, who enveloped the film's young stars in a warm hug. The author also wore Oscar de la Renta – a green silk faille gown with a sweetheart neckline featuring pink carnation motifs. Harry Potter fans from around the globe had flocked to London for the premiere. Many had been camping since Monday to secure a prime spot in Trafalgar Square.
